Red Wings (Hawks/Dabi x reader) 18+

The check up.

Keigo and I ate lunch together after we were done making love together "oh shit your shirt im sorry ill go run out and get you a new one" Keigo tried to get up to run out of the room "dont worry babe" I got up and opened a closet door in my office showing off my built in walk in closet "you are ready for everything huh, even round two" he came up behind me as I put on a new shirt but someone knocked on the door before we could even start. "Hey y/n could you go over my notes for me I was really confused on the new training stuff" Shinsou was on the other side of the door I whispered to Keigo "you have to hide I cant let my students see you here and he already hates you" "he hates me? How could anyone hate me" he said as I was trying to shove him into the closet so I could unlock the door "shut up you dumb bird now is not the time for your foolishness" I pushed him into the closet and shut the door. I fixed myself up before I opened the door so I didn't look a hot mess. "Hey shinsou what did you want me to go over with you" he looked at me up and down like he was sizing me up "is something wrong?" I was trying to explain to him the assignment but I couldn't help but notice Shinsou staring at the top of my head "what is your problem are you listening or not" he put his hand above my head and plucked a feather from my bun "now we gotta have a talk" Shinsou pulled me back into my office "I know you and I know how strong of a person you are. I have the honour of knowing more about you because you thought it would be a better bonding experience between us, but if im being honest it has just made me super protective over you. Although im not as powerful as you I don't want you to get swept up by all of Hawks's bullshit because you deserve so much more than that. I don't know if this will sound weird but in a way I see you as my mom" Shinsou started to tear up as he was venting "listen here" I grabbed his head and it rested in between my neck and shoulder "i was scared at first to open up but for the first time in a long time I finally feel happy with my life and myself. He has taught me so many things and he is actually showing me the beauty of this world. I know it's hard to trust someone you've hated your whole life but sometimes you just have to take chances because now look at me, i'm finally able to say I love myself and all the bad that comes with it" I wiped his tears as I stared into his eyes. "Im going to believe you but I promise you if that winged freak tries anything funny ill be the first to destroy him" we both chuckled and I sent him back off with the rest of the students so that they could go home together. I walked to the closest and Hawks was just standing there staring at me with tears in his eyes "you love yourself now? And it's because of me?" His eyeliner started to smudge a bit "yes now stop crying you are ruining your eye makeup. He kissed me on the forehead and we walked out of the office together, I went to do my job and he went on patrol for his own agency. The rest of my day went slow as I just watched the clock tick on and on, I couldn't wait to get back to my house and just relax for a bit.

I finally got back home and I ran straight into the bathroom to take a nice warm bath because I just needed a little me time. I watched my favourite show as I downed a whole bottle of wine to myself. I finally got out and decided to paint something new for once, normally when I would paint my emotions it would just end up being mostly black and blue. There was never any sun or light in my paintings but tonight it was different, I put on my record player and started feeling myself and the music and I pulled out a brand new canvas and all my brushes and went to town with the painting. All I was able to feel and hear was my spirts being lift and I just felt so free, it was so liberating just being able to express any sort of emotion after being numb for so long. All my demons and fears went flying out the window as I painted my heart away, after 30 minutes and another wine bottle my painting was finally complete and I stood back to stare at the range of colours that were spread across the entire painting. There wasn't a single spot of black, not a single spot of sadness was in my painting. That's how I knew my heart was full of love and happiness.
