    Summary

    Hawks promised he wouldn't, but he did it again.

    Tears. They usher in, and he's helpless to stop them from rolling down his cheeks.

    He doesn't know what he was expecting. Too realistic to believe his eyelids would slide open, but also desperate to keep his mouth shut. Hawks' tears fall before his words can. If Dabi were awake, he'd probably poke fun at his puffy eyes. It was hard to imagine him not saying something irritating. Maybe that's why the silence was too much for Hawks to bear.

    "Our story has just begun." Hawks insists, shaking him in the silent hopes for an answer.

    A cursed sob wracks him. Hawks takes in a slow lungful, bitterly ignoring the tears swelling in the corners of his eyes that fall to Dabi's shirt. Another tear stain to add to the countless ones already there.

    His hand comes to brush at his bangs, slick with sweat, out of his face, a loving gesture lost to his unconsciousness.

    Hawks breathes, this time managing something steadier.

    "Let me start from the beginning."
