Chapter Text
This is a dabihawks/hotwings au where
touya (dabi) and keigo (hawks) were in the same hero commission that hawks was sent to as a child. This AU focuses a lot on the friendship that they developed during that time and how it best reflects the hawks and dabi that we know now. Please enjoy and feel free to ask questions along the way!!
Hawks POV
A tragic accident that had every one of my bones shaking. I could feel the moist air around me as it stroked parts of my hair. Everything was chaotic but the storm was yet to come, this was my calm, I was the calm and I needed to stay that way if I was ever going to amount to something. Red, green and blue colours flash before my eyes as one small tear falls down from it.
"Hey Keigo, it's time for us to get going you little brat!" I hid my face inside my wings pretending that there was no one there, it was just me staying calm in the storm and I couldn't care less what he thought anymore.
"I said let's get a move on!" His voice shook me and tears started raining down the side of my eyes. I needed to stop breathing, stop caring, stop thinking. It frightens me what could have been my entire life if it wasn't for seconds of hell before them.
"You think this is a joke don't you?" I could feel the smirk begin to grow on his face.
"So, where's your mom today?" The tears grew heavier on my face.
"I-I don't know." The table I was hiding under broke above my head as he tossed it to the side. Blood began to gush from places I couldn't see and my feathers were shedding by the second. For the first time in years, I didn't care for my life.
"Listen here kid, I don't care what you're on or what you're too scared to do right now." He said with a mockingly manner.
"You need to get your ass out here if you want to live another day!" I shook. This was the last time I was standing to speak to him and this was the last time I was willing to care, if I needed to do something, anything then I would have done it by now. Every word I spoke and every breathe I took was something that needed to be fought for where I live but unfortunately, I don't have the time to obsess over that. I grabbed onto the nearest piece of broken table I could find and stood up.
"What do you want to do with my mother?" The words I spoke felt heavier than before and hurt more then anything I've ever said before. And so his smirk disappeared quicker than lightning flashes.
"What do you think? Bet you want to hear something like, ' We're planning your six birthday' or some bullshit like that! Don't you!" He grew angrier and I grew more frightened. He sighed and slowly began to walk away as I stared down at my tears.
"I just came trying to help but you got your selfishness in the way, so don't say I didn't try. And do me a favour, mind your own goddamn business."
DABI POV
Karma. That was all I wanted for what he did to me. I lived in the greatest house with the greatest luxuries, if only I knew that I was battling with satan. Everywhere I went, people would praise him and talk about how much he loves and wants the best for everyone, with only two other siblings, I was the one he chose to ruin to the very core until he eventually gave up and let someone else do the job for him to keep his hands from getting dirty.
"You're too weak for me to train alone. You and your siblings are a lost cause and I'm just sorry I wasted all this time on a hopeless case." I can imagine how disappointed he must be to know that I exist and yet I continue to do it all in my own. Just for me to see how to fix this mess and my weakness that over powered me. I was weak. Too weak for my own body to keep up and that seemed like it was going to be the end of it, I would be left to die here on the streets if it wasn't for his pettiness.
"Touya!" I could here his screams from a mile away as small raindrops began to fall on my face. I had no friends, no life, no joy. There wasn't anything left for me to lose anyway.
"I have some news for you and I need you to come back now!" As I slowly walked back into my own house, I found my mother in the verge of tears as she held fuyumi and natsu as close as she possibly could.
"We're getting a new baby. We're not too sure of its strengths quirk inhabitants and weaknesses yet so we don't know if we'll even need it. But, I'm still holding out hope for it to surpass me. You're officially no longer my responsibility to take care of, I'm sending you off somewhere where you can train farther away from here." I didn't know why but tears came rushing down my face.
"I could do better! I could stop being weak, I promise! Just please don't send me away! See, it doesn't hurt anymore when I do it, that's improvement! I'll make sure I'm not weak!" My mother began to cry as she looked down at my siblings, grabbed them and ran into the other room. I was just me and him. He stood up to face me and inched only a little closer to my face. As I looked up I was horrified for what he had become, what he made me become.
"You think this is a joke boy? Your weak and impulsive mannerism can't be tolerated in this household any longer!" And just like that he took me down as I laid on the floor crying for someone's help.
"If you want to avoid being weak so much, just hope that they'll be able to fix whatever's wrong."
