A/n: This is sad. Trigger warning: self mutilation. Self hatred....Idk what I was thinking, but good luck for those who read. I just needed to write this out.


Quirk Malfunction 


The sight of you staring down at the chaos that almost ended you both was breathtaking. The final move that made you risk your life to save his made his heart ache that you ended up getting hurt because of him, but the strong look in your eyes made butterflies swirl in his stomach. Cuts and scrapes bled on your dirty cheeks and forehead while your hair blew back and forth with the direction of the wind. In this moment he felt no pain at all. He managed to get out unscathed while your body was broken and hurt. He was sure you broke a few ribs and possibly a shoulder from how your arm was laying limp next to you.

"Are you..ok?" You panted tiredly and his eyes widened in amazement and disbelief.

He's the number 2 hero and yet the love of his life was in shambles from saving him. Of course you didn't know his feelings towards you. He always stayed calm and collected through everything. Keigo Takami was one to barely get flustered or broken considering the amount of training he's been through to subdue his emotions and focus on the mission. He found it harder than usual to control when he was with you though.

When you looked over to him he looked normal erasing all shock from before from his face with a cocky grin as he stood up. "I should be askin you that." His feathers were all gone helping the citizens below leaving small stubs on his shoulders. "You look like shit, Kid."

The closer he walked to you the more wounds he saw which made him internally cringe from not being more help. "What did I say about calling me that? I'm your age ya know." You smiled tiredly taking a step toward him only to fall forward onto his chest.

"But clearly not wiser therefore you're still a kid." He scooped you up in his arms. "Upsie daisie." Your body felt so delicate and frail like he was holding a baby bird. "Looks like you've over used your quirk." He looked down at you. Your cheek against his chest as he walked to the stairway so he could get off the roof.

"Yea, saving your ass." Your remark stung him more than you knew. Then you saw a red blur zip by his face making a deep slice in his cheek. Blood seeped down and dripped from his chin onto your face. "What was that?" You sat up and tried to look around to see, but Hawks stopped you.

"Relax, it was just a feather that was trying to reattach to my wings." He opened the door and started to walk down the stairs.

"I've never seen that happen before." He heard worry lace your voice.

"No need to worry, saving so many people can be a little tough. I'm just a bit scatter brained is all." You felt like he was lying, but you left it at that. When you both came to the bottom floor you could feel your breathing start to become restricted. Your soft breathing started to become slow long wheezes which he noticed right away. "We need a medic."

Another red blur zipped by slicing his cheek again and then another right behind it slicing the other. More blood hit your face from the cuts on the Hero's face. "I'm fine, I think I just broke a rib....or three." You chuckled trying to make light of the situation.

"Why did you jump in like that?" When he came to the street he couldn't see anything but buildings on fire and empty streets with the occasional citizen being helped by one of his many feathers.

"Someone has to save your ass right?" You smiled and it broke his heart.

"Why did you do it though? I could have handled it." He walked to a truck letting the tailgate down and laid your body down gently. 

"Because I love you idiot." Then you saw it. The wide eyes and shocked expression that you never have before. "Don't tell me you didn't expect it?" He looked at his arm seeing blood on his jacket where your head once was. Lifting up your hair he saw blood coming from your ear.

He's failed you and that's all he could think about right now. You're laying on your death bed which is a piece of shit Silverado truck confessing your love to him after he was the reason for everything in the first place. He's the reason you're dying right now.

Another flash of red flew by and you heard a thud on the road. "I heard something. Is it a villain?" He saw color drain from your face the more he watched you. When you went to look he placed one hand on your chest to lay you back down.

"Stay still or it will just get worse." He talked gently with a smile to reassure you. There was nothing like his voice to sooth you. "Don't be stubborn. Helps coming." When you looked up at the sky his eyes drifted to his left arm that was sliced off at just below his elbow. The remainder was laying on the road as blood poured from the wound.

"This is it isn't it?" When your eyes connected to his he could see just how dull and lifeless they've gotten. The rage towards himself was indescribable at this moment.

"Now aint this just adorable." A deep voice came from behind him. "Two Hero's about to kick the bucket and I get the pleasure to give you both the extra push." The villain laughed.

Hawks usually had a witty comeback, but his eyes never left yours as his feathers swarmed over the three of you blocking the sun. All you heard after that was screams and yells that made your skin crawl. As his feathers tore the villain to pieces Keigo lifted his hand to bite his glove and pull it off his hand. "I'm so sorry I couldn't have done more." His hand cupped your cold cheek.

"It's ok." The feathers still swarmed above you like a harsh storm as the two of you spoke. "I don't have any regrets."

He knew you were internally bleeding. Maybe one of your ribs hit a organ or maybe that last hit was so hard it ruptured something. "Y/n?" His thumb brushed just under your eye where your tears started to fall.

"Yeah?" You sniffled.

"I love you." He whispered leaning down to kiss your lips. Something the two of you never done before. The moment was cherished and sweet, but as the kiss went on feathers started to stab and slice open his back. The more your lips collided together the more feathers mutilated his body. When you separated you stayed alive long enough to give him another one of your breath taking smiles.

"I Know..." 

Tears started to stream down his face as he watched your last breath leave your beautiful lips. "No, Please don't go." He cried as his feathers took over from the hate he had for himself. The one person in this world he wanted to protect and he failed. One of his feathers sliced his hand off that held your face, then others stabbed him in the back while he was slowly dismembered by the turmoil in his mind. He screamed in pain, but mostly from losing you. His face was nothing but watery tears mixed with thick blood until his body was completely torn apart. In the end this was the ultimate quirk malfunction from self hatred.
