Hawks was tattooing a client when he heard the phone ring , seeing as no one else went to answer it he got up and went to go answer the phone putting it to his ear. "This is Black Lotus Tattoos , how can I help ?"Hawks said into the phone waiting for a response.

Dabi cleared his throat "um, hey i was wondering if you had any availability for a tattoo on my fore arm, it'll be my first one" his voiced sounded raspy like he had just gotten out if bed but he didn't that was his usual voice.

"For sure man , there's actually a spot open today." Hawks spoke and was a bit surprised to hear the others raspy deep voice. "You just have to come and with a idea of what you want tattooed." He added , and looked at the appointments seeing a spot clear for today. "Can I get your name ?"

"Dabi" he said bluntly as he spoke down the phone he had a few ideas for his first tattoo, but he really only wanted it to go against his strict father and his rules "would that be all?" He ased the person on the other side of the phone.

"Alright , that'll be all oh when you come ask for a person named Hawks." Hawks said and wrote the persons name down. "I'll see you around 2:40 then." After saying a goodbye he hung the phone back up and went back to his previous client finishing up it's tattoo.

He agreed, "he sounded like a kid" he chuckled "anyway i better get my stuff ready, his name was Hawks, i cant help it but that name sounded familiar, eh probably heard it on the news or something" he said to himself and hummed and began walking to the tattoo parlor he was filled with adrenaline, before going to his appointment he went to the shop to get a can of monster energy drink.

Hawks was busy messing around with the tattooing needles before he heard a ding from the door and he got up , when he saw a rather tall goth looking boy he blushed ever so slightly. "Are you... Dabi ?" Hawks asked as he went up to him , being much shorter.

"yeh and you must be Hawks?" He said looking the other male he chuckled "you a lot smaller than i imagined" he hummed looking round the tattoo parlor "this place seem neat" he looked the male up and down.

Hawks furrowed his brows at his remark and pouted. "Your just too tall." He said and let out a huff , then he noticed Dabi look him up and down and that made him blush slightly. "A..anyways , come on." Hawks said with a small stutter and walked to the tattooing room.

He chuckled "are you nervous or something?" Dabi asked as he saw the smaller Male was stuttering with his words, he sat down "ive got two designs you can chose which one would be better or which one would suit me more"

"Hey you should be nervous I'm the one holding the needle." Hawks muttered as he sat down in his chair and then looked at the two pictures he brought with and hummed. "Well , I like the one with the faces .. I feel like it could hold a lot of meaning but are you sure you want to me to pick your first tattoo ?"

"yeh your the professional here" he agreed to him doing the face tattoos "tell me a bit a bout yourself while you ink me" he hummed softly looking at Hawks.

Hawks began to outline the tattoo on a piece of transparent paper then pressed it onto the spot Dabi wanted. "About me ? Well I'm 19 and dropped out of college to become a tattoo artist." Hawks began as he turned the tattooing machine one and was in deep concentration. "What about you Dabi ?" He asked and glanced up at him for a minute then went back to work.

Dabi caught the glance "well im 20, i dropped out of high school to rebel against my father, who wanted to control my life getting a tattoo is a way im doing that, i joined a gang who is more like family than my real family could ever be, and we are just a bunch of broken teens and adults who are looking for acceptance, that all" he sighed "wow i literally just told my whole life story to a complete random stranger"

Hawks chuckled softly as he started making details in the tattoo and wiping the ink off. "Eh it's okay , your life story is safe with me." He said with a slight smile and found Dabi even more intriguing when he heard his story. "You are ... a really interesting person, Dabi." Hawks said and looked up at him for a moment while he put more ink on the needle.

"this is going to sound crazy but do i know you from somewhere? You seem so familiar to me but i can't put my finger on it and where you came from sorry" Dabi chuckled nervously.

Hawks raised a eyebrow at his question and hummed in thought. "I'm sorry ... I don't ever remember seeing you till today." He said with a small smile as he got back to tattooing. "Maybe we knew each other a long time ago ... but can't remember." He added starting to think if he ever saw Dabi before and started doing the little details.

"my real name is Touya Todoroki, my father is Enji Todoroki, you ever heard of that name?" He asked as he couldn't get over the fact that he knew who Hawks was but he hadn't a clue where from.

Hawks eyes widened slightly at the name and he looked up at him. "Touya ...." he mumbled trying to recall his memory's but they were bad ever since that car accident he was involved in. "I swear I've heard that name , my real name is Keigo Takami .. does that ring any bell ?" He asked he definitely heard of that name Touya Todoroki many times before but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"If you wanna see me so bad you don't always have to get a tattoo , you can just come to have lunch with me~" Hawks said with a sorta challenging smile.

"really?~, why dont i give you my number after you've inked me and whenever your free we can meet up, baby bird" Dabi chuckled.
