Wanting to be Free (Hawks x Reader)

Ch. 4

No one's pov

Days have gone by with harsher training and less rest. Soon being weeks, growing into months. Keigo has grown much stronger and even faster than he was months ago. But has yet to over power Y/N in the slightest. After the loss of Touya, something inside the girl changed, evolving her quirk further. Now she's even able to use it without using her palms, or even extending an arm out to cast out the quirk.

Both Keigo and Y/N had finished up their last training. It was now almost nightfall, the sun still slightly up. It's a Friday, almost a year after the loss of their roommate. They said on a bench eating dinner as the clock ticked by, sharing random thoughts and corny jokes to lighten the mood.

An alarm blared, followed by shouting. The two stood up dropping the last of their food. A building goes up into flames as glass shatters and small explosions burst. Soon panic ceased. A familiar man stood holding a knife to the elder's throat. The man looked down at Y/N and smirked, "I finally found you, my child!~" he cooed almost cringe worthy.

Keigo jumps in between the two, shielding his roommate. He glared at the man. "My my, even your eyes aren't very heroic now are they kid?" The elder spoke after the man had said that, "you only said you wanted to find the girl who attacked you! You said nothing about harming the boy!" He sounded worried.

"Oh please you old fool. I only came here to taker her, everyone else can stay and rot for all I care!" The man chuckled. Releasing his grip of the old man and shoving him back. And rushing at Keigo with his knife.

Y/N's pov

'He's been searching for me....for all this time?!' I take a step back, but realize Keigo in front of me. 'Dammit! I can't lose him too...If I lose Keigo as well, i'll...'

I stretch out grabbing Keigo, pulling him slightly behind me, "I'll lose it!" I shout as a knife slices down the right side of my face, eyebrow to chin. There I stood, blood seeping out of my face, dripping on my shirt and to the grass. I didn't feel it, I just wanted to save Keigo...

"Y/N!!" Arms drag me to the grass, closing me in a protective hold. "Y-you dummy! What if you died from that!!" Keigo tightens the hug, "I don't know what'd I'd ever do wit-." The man laughed at what he was witnessing.

No one's pov

The man laughed, Keigo tightened his hold on Y/N. In a blink of an eye, the man was crouched down in front of the two. "Sorry Birdboy, but I'll be taking her now!" He extends his hand out for the girl to take. "Now then, you can either come with me willingly. OR! You make this difficult, and I kill everyone here...starting with the boy, you chose."

Y/N struggles out of Keigo's arms, standing up along with the man. "Good, I thought so!" He gives a side smile, not an all to welcoming one. They begin to walk across the courtyard when the girl stops. After a moment of pondering, she slightly turns, just enough to face her friend.

"Better not die Keigo!" She gives him a pained smile, "no matter how much time passes, I plan on seeing you again..." Y/N turns back out and chokes out one last thing, "become what you want to be, and don't forget your never alone."

And with that she was gone. Keigo never failed to notice the tears falling alongside the dripping blood. He had lost both of them, both his roommates, both of his friends...he was alone again. But this time he knew he wasn't going to stay that way! He'll get stronger, become a hero, and save Y/N...he will see her again.

Back in his assigned room, Keigo sits on his unmade bed. A solid hour of silence went by, before he finally peers over at the desk Y/N always sat at to craft or draw something. Before realizing he moved, his fingers brushed across the rugged wood of the desk. Eyes dancing across as he wonders as his mind pounders in space. Fingers now intact with a cold metal, his train of thought is snapped. Looking down to see what he was now holding, a necklace with a small metal plate attached to it. Was like a dog tag.

There were carving in the metallic plate, vision too blurry by tears to read. Clutching the tag to his chest, "I promise we'll see each other again, just wait for me, Y/N!"

Hello!
Hope you're all having a nice day/night!
