Here, have some angst <3
A drabble where Hawks realizes that Dabi might be too far gone to save.
There was a charred smoking body on the cement of a dark alleyway. The fire had been so hot only bones were left, after just a few seconds of Dabi's assault.

A drabble where Hawks realizes that Dabi might be too far gone to save.
There was a charred smoking body on the cement of a dark alleyway. The fire had been so hot only bones were left, after just a few seconds of Dabi's assault.
'Cremation' was no joke.
Hawks' expression was steely, maintaining his mask while staring at the anything but the body.
Dabi was heaving deep breaths, smoke rolling off his arms as he cooled down, arms literally sizzling.

Hawks was a little bit behind him, and hesitantly glanced up to take a look at the flame user's face. He could barely recognize Dabi through the crazed, wild expression that possessed him. The soft lover Hawks had gotten used to didn't even seem to exist... and it scared him.
It wasn't the first time Hawks had seen Dabi kill someone. It probably wouldn't be the last either.
He really shouldn't be this surprised, Dabi was a villain after all. But some naive part of him had thought that he could save the man, or some hero bullshit like that.

Recently, Dabi had been getting more... feral, violent, and cruel. It was hard for Hawks to continue going on missions with him and then cuddling with him in bed a few hours later.
But they had shared so many quiet nights together- it had started purely as sexual gratification - and had slowly turned into something more. They opened up to each other, which neither had done before with anyone else.
Sure Hawks was still a traitor (which Dabi didn't know, and it was going to stay that way for as long as possible) but he had told Dabi the truth about the commission and his upbringing, which included abusive training and a whole lot of crushing loneliness.
Dabi's only comment to that was that they had a lot in common, with no elaboration.
It was a few days later Dabi had divulged more. He'd woken up from a nightmare right as Hawks had come back to his apartment from a late patrol shift

(he hadn't even expected Dabi to BE there, but there he was, a panicking breathy mess in his bed). He did what he could to calm Dabi down, and he was being held onto like a lifeline by shaky, hot hands. Hawks clothes were getting singed. It took a while for Dabi to calm down-
Hawks slowly petting his hair. After some more shaky breaths, Dabi slowly told Hawks about his father, about the training, about his life on the streets.
"I'll make him pay." Was what he ended with before falling asleep. It left a cold feeling in Hawks' gut.

Hawks blinked, back in the alley, jarred from his memories by Dabi's hand on his shoulder.
"Why the long face?" He asked, smiling. You'd think he just won the lottery. "Wasn't that great?"

Hawks somehow conjured a grin back, putting up a thumb, "Yeah, you really let him have it!".
Dabi suddenly pulled him in for a hug, chuckling as he reached his hand around to grab Hawks' ass. "I'll let you have it later too."

He was forced to look in the direction of the body, black and bent at odd angles. Hawks gulped, if Dabi knew the truth... that comment would be a bit more... fiery, than just provocative. Rather than flirty, or loving, tonight Dabi's advances just felt... gross.
He should have known, getting involved with Dabi, that he was like this. But it had been getting worse, he was becoming more... sadistic. Something in him was breaking and snapping under some invisible pressure, and no amount of comfort Hawks gave seemed to douse the flames.
They were only growing stronger, already slowly burning Hawks from the inside out.
