Chapter Text
The situation had taken a turn for the worst, and he felt helpless. Lost. He hadn't wanted any of this. He had not wanted to hurt nor betray the other, and that's all that had been done.
A mission. That's all it was supposed to have been. An infiltration mission that would answer the pro-heroes burning questions, that's all, and yet... it had become so much more.
Hawks had gone under cover, he had gained the knowledge that was required of him and became successful; but in ways he couldn't explain, he had done so much more than just that. He had bonded with another like he had never done before with anyone in his entire life.
Against his better judgment and common sense, he returned once his mission was over and identity exposed. He returned to his betrayed.
The situation had escalated quickly, with no explanations or words. Hawks had barely enough time to think or breathe as he was grabbed and slammed aggressively into the nearest wall. His face expressed his pain as he grunted, grabbing ahold of the wrist whose hand was wrapped tightly around his neck. His eyes drifted upward toward the blues that held a vengeance and mixed sea of emotions that flickered from one to the other repeatedly, anger being prominent.
The hand became engulfed with flame, as the other reared back with a dare for the bird-man to utter one wrong word or make one wrong move. It was a promise to hurt him, not a threat.
The hand that held him moved, pressing against Hawk's left breast, the blue flames starting to burn an imprint. The pain that began was nothing in comparison that burned layers beneath with each thump. He could bear this one.
"Tell me one thing, before I kill you..." Dabi started, his voice nearly void of any emotion. Hawks dared not look away, leaving his eyes locked with the others.
"What?" His voice was firm, challenging.
"You got what you had come for, so why the hell did you come back!?" Dabi's voice was becoming angrier with each thought that crossed his mind of the last several months.
"You" Hawk's eyes saddened, his free hand lifted, grasping onto the opening of the jacket Dabi wore, clutching it for dear life.
Dabi scoffed, not believing the display being put on in front of him. In his eyes Hawks was a traitor. He lied, betrayed, and used him. He wasn't worth being even a neighbor within the same city at this point. Dabi planned to exact revenge for all that had been done to him, and he was going to get it tonight.
"That may work on your hero idiots, but it sure as hell wont work on me"
Hawks glared up at him. He knew he couldn't blame Dabi for not trusting or believing him at this point, but it still bothered him that Dabi dismissed it so easily. So willing to hate him.
Hawks grabbed Dabi's collar and yanked him closer. Dabi's eyes widened marginally, having not expected to be nose-to-nose with his new found enemy.
"If you don't believe me, then fine. I'll prove it" Hawks growled.
