Late nights with Dabi were one of Hawks' favourite times.
Sometimes, the villain would come back with him after a meeting, lips smashing together as they fought over control, pressing each other into the wall on the way up to Hawks' apartment until
they fell into bed.
Other times, Dabi just followed him back to his apartment like a stray cat - looking for somewhere to spend the night.
Or, the arsonist would sneak in through the window that Hawks kept open for him, quietly pad down to his bedroom and slip
under the sheets behind him.
It never scared him, not when his feathers already knew who had broken in as soon as he entered, not with his smokey scent, and not with the unnatural warmth pressed to his back.
More often than not, if Dabi didn't immediately pass out, he'd press scarred lips against the back of Hawks' neck. Whether Dabi thought he was awake or not to feel it - Hawks didn't know.
Sometimes Hawks would murmur a quiet greeting, sometimes he would ask him how his
day was as it turned into a quiet back and forth, but other times he'd simply smile and let his eyes flutter closed.
He was far past being stressed over Dabi killing him in his sleep.
Instead, Hawks had warm arms wrapping around his waist, along with Dabi's breath
tickling the back of his neck.
He treasured it more than anybody would ever know, hanging onto it all as much as he could.
It couldn't last forever, so Hawks had to commit it all to memory, the way the villain felt pressed against him, whether it was as the big spoon or the
Hawks shouldn't feel so safe with a villain sleeping in his bed, but truthfully..he'd never felt safer.
He'd never slept so easily, either.
It just wasn't fair that it couldn't last forever.
For the time being, he tried to push it to the back of his mind. It was early January, still plenty cold enough that Hawks could bury himself under his blankets with Dabi as a heater.
He had Dabi's birthday to think about in a week or so, too.
Infact..it was unheard of, unless Fuyumi had pulled him out of bed for another unnecessary trip outside for his 'mental health'.
So, Touya was rightfully unsettled when he forced himself up and into the main room, then the kitchen where he was only met with silence and a couple of bento boxes from his mom while she and his other siblings were out for the day, sitting neatly with a note as if
they were elementary school kids.
(Touya may have smiled at it, but nobody else needed to know that.)
"Shoto?" His stomach grumbled, but he ignored it for now in favour of tiredly walking down the hall to his youngest brother's room with Melody following
"They don't look ridiculous- They make you look handsome!" Keigo had never expected to spend so long in the damn opticians, not even for the test itself, but trying to find Touya a frame that he could actually stand.
"No, next."
"Try these ones-" Keigo tried to pass him another pair, immediately earning a stink eye. He didn't even try to put them on.
"They're ugly, no."
Keigo couldn't help the way that his eye twitched, not even attempting to persuade him and just putting the glasses back on the stand.
There really wasn't anything wrong with them in Keigo's opinion, but Touya was fussy and dramatic.
"Well you've gone through nearly the entire shop- let's just take a minute, okay?"
