Chapter Text
Love was like a fire, warm, and beautiful but could quickly turn into a forest fire or simply flicker out. No one knew this more than Keigo, his love life to really sugar coat it, was well, well it was a dumpster fire. When he was younger his heart burned for his best and only friend, they were all they had and all they needed, there for each other when the other was hurt, a shoulder to cry on, lips to kiss and even though they were teenagers they knew they were destined to love each other forever Keigo knew this even after the other had died. He loved him and he always would even now as he rushes to save some other helpless city, he’s all he could think about. Killed so young, burnt to a crisp by his own flames, God the irony, it really hurt and if he weren’t about to cry, he may have even laughed at this.
“Hawks are you there?” a voice in his earpiece caused him to snap back, wiping off the tears starting to form and trying to reply without his voice cracking
“Yeah, I’m here Eraser, almost at the site.”
“Forget the site, there’s something I need help with at UA.” He groaned as he took a quick turn towards the hero school
“C’mon Eraser, I doubt those kids need my help with their homework.” he joked
“Hawks this is serious radio back when you’re here.”
“Over and out.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” In front of Hawks chained up in quirk suppression cuffs, not too unlike the chains that angry Pomeranian kid had at the sports festival, minus the muzzle was a certain burnt villain. “Rehab? Look at this monster! He’s killed hundreds and you want to let him roam freely around UA?”
“Oh not certainly freely,” The small mammal principal spoke, actively avoiding several of Dabi’s attempts to bite him. “That’s why you’re here” he smiled sadistically
“I’m literally the most flammable one here and you decide to stick me with him!” He stuck his finger in Dabi’s face before quickly remembering the biting and pulling away.
“He wouldn’t be able to use his quirk he’d have the suppression cuffs on at all times, we need you because your fast if he ever tries to make a run for it. And besides,” Nezu beckoned Hawks away “We know about your little spy mission you’ll be the one he trusts the most we need you here.” Hawks walked back to the prisoner.
“I don’t see why we can’t just throw him in prison.” He muttered
“I said that too” Came Eraser's voice from the shadows “but Nezu being Nezu gave him an option of rehabilitation.” Hawks let out a loud groan
“Come on Birdy, I think it’ll be fun. Hawks The Villain Babysitter has a nice ring to it.” The villain chimed in
“Someone shut him up, is there a muzzle somewhere? Anyway, why can’t Eraser look after him his whole quirk is that.”
“I can’t stare at his ugly face forever, and the second I get the bliss of blinking and the disappearance of his face it may be the disappearance of all our lives.”
“Guess you make a good point… Fine if I have to.” He whined
“You have to, oh and also, you’ll be sharing a dorm. Good luck Hawks.” Before he could debate Nezu and Eraserhead were gone leaving him with Dabi and his guard.
“Well, this is going to be fun huh Birdy?” The burnt one smirked
“So what's the plan?” The taller, dark-haired one whispered
“Huh?” the blonde said confused
“Well I'm hoping you have a plan, don’t get cold feet on me, Spy.”
“you got yourself into this mess and besides you’ve been trying to attack this place for ages and they just let you through the front door so this feels like a win to me.” There was a moment of silence before the other spoke
“Huh, I guess you’re right.” An excited gleam sparkled in the shorter one's eyes and a shit-eating grin grew on his face
“What-“
“The big bad Dabi, said I was right? Lil ol me? My plan is good?” he dramatically fell into the other's chained arms
“I take it all back I’m killing the kids and busting out of this place.”
“And how you going to do that Einstein?” before he could say another word the other had taken a running start and was now mid-way out the 2nd story window, a fury of bright red feathers following him, seconds later he floated back inside of a red cloud.
“I could do that.”
“Didn’t get you very far though did it?”
“Nah, but how many times do you think I could keep doing that before you’re not fast enough and I escape?”
“You mean how long until I’m not fast enough and you plummet to your death.”
“That’s not very heroic.”
“Since when did a villain need saving?”
“Since I decided I'm going to keep jumping out of windows.” Hawks groaned
“I'm not 100% sure but I have an aching feeling that Eraser wouldn’t be on your side if I didn’t catch you.” Dabi scrunched his face into some form of agreement.
“Soooo” the flame villain tried to break the awkward silence that had fallen over the two men “Where exactly are we going?”
“Was wondering when you’d ask.” An evil smile on the hero’s face
“Hawks… Where are we going?”
“Well… The other heroes and I thought it would be a good start to your rehabilitation if you got to know some heroes in training.” Hawks smiled sheepishly
“Nope. I’m out” he started to walk to the nearest window although before he could get there Hawks had thrown his all body on him.
“NOT AGAIN-“
