Chapter Text
Dabi had been busy. For once in his life he had been actually busy, he had to go to some meetings with Giran about... let's be honest he never gave a fuck about them but he got out of recruiting assholes who think they are better than him and instead Compress got the job for the evening. Sucks to be Compress, that's what he would normally say but considering the circumstances karma got him back.
"You..." Someone hissed behind him. I voice that he would recognise even underwater, even if he was deaf. "ASSHOLE."
There stood Hawks, the number two hero in all his glory in front of the door of the bar staring daggers straight at him. If he really wanted to lie to himself maybe Hawks was angry at him for some villainy thing he's done. There's no way he kno-
"HOW DARE YOU DISAPPEAR LIKE THAT AND NEVER TELL ME THAT YOU WERE ALIVE" Keigo half yelled. And yep fuck he knows. "Hey Birdie" Touya answered. Honestly if he was going to die at least it would be by Keigo's hand.
"10 FUCKING YEARS LATER AND THE ONLY ANSWER I GET IS 'HI BIRDIE' ARE YOU KIDDING ME TOUYA!" To say that Keigo looked angry was an understatement, If looks could kill he would have been dead 10 minutes ago. “Wait, let m-” Keigo was having none of it and honestly Touya didn’t know if he should be glad or worried. On one hand this was the most emotions that weren’t fake from his friend since he died but on the other hand that emotion is anger and it’s directed at him. “WERE YOU EVEN PLANNING TO TELL ME?” Keigo shouted at him. Honestly he was gonna discover it sooner or later…, along with everyone else. “ I-I w” All say thank you to compress, Touya’s saviour that saved him the embarrassment of turning into a stuttering mess. “Why don’t we all take a deep breath and talk calmly, okay?” The room was tense until Keigo took a big breath and sighed. After that everything exploded again.
“YOUR NAME IS TOUYA?!! What an awful name.” Yelled Twice.
“HOW DO YOU KNOW THE NUMBER TWO HERO!!?” Spinner asked.
Toga was exclaiming nonsense about how cute they were and how they reeked of love but everyone ignored her. Shigaraki was looking at him like he’d done him personally wrong. “What are you looking at?” Touya shot him a glare “What other secrets have you been hiding from us?” Touya passed a hand through his hair and sighed. What a mess, this wasn’t how he had planned to tell them. Birdie was in the corner looking furious and amused at them, he looked like he was enjoying his suffering at this moment.
Touya didn’t feel like answering all their bullshit questions so instead he turned back to the bird. “Why are you here Birdbrain?” That was clearly the wrong thing to say to his friend because the next he knew birdies face was mad again. “Why are YOU here?” He returned back. Should he tell him? Well he already knows so he doesn’t really have a lot of options. Throwing himself out the window seemed like a good pla- “Do not think of jumping out of any window, I have wings and I will catch you.” There goes his number one escape plan, and that last part sounded more like a threat than a reassurance. Actually it was anything but a reassurance. “Fine, let’s talk but not here. I don’t want to be someone else's TV drama.” Everyone in the room except Keigo booed at him. “Pity, you always wanted everyone's eyes on you.” That was a low blow from birdie’s part.
They started walking towards the kitchen because there was no way that he was showing the bird that good for nothing excuse of a room he has. When they got there Touya was about to try and offer Keigo something just to see if he could manage to avoid this conversation but before he could ask Keigo said “ Are you going to explain now or do I have to wait another ten years?” Birdie was really angry cause damn, that even hurt him. “Okay fine, jeez.” So he explained what happened that day.
