The Truth Will Set You Free

Prompt: Hawks gets his with a truth serum Fandom: BNAH/MHA Words: 3,404 Summary: Hawks was forced to do a team-up with Kamui Woods and he really didn't want to so he finished it as quickly as he possibly could. To be for him that he was hit by a truth quirk while he's also supposed to be going undercover to spy on the league. He does the only thing he can think to do in this situation and cancel his meeting with a certain fire villain. Dabi didn't agree.

Ao3 Link:

“Hawks be careful! The villain still has an unknown quirk,” Kamui Woods said through the comms.”

“Oh calm down ya tree branch. I’m fast enough to catch them and then we can leave. I work better alone anyway,” Hawks said as he flew through the air to search further.

“Hawks, this is serious. Are you always this nonchalant?” Kamui asked.

“Yeah. It just comes naturally to me. Plus I have to be somewhere later so we kinda gotta speed this up,” Hawks mentioned passively and it made Kamui roll his eyes.

“Well you’re in luck I see him now. Now I know stealth isn’t your thing exactly, but please just try to handle this carefully,” Kamui said as he started to walk towards the villain.

“Got him,” Hawks says as Kamui sees a large red feather carrying the villain through the sky, and the said Villain screams in terror as he flies through the air.

The villain was handled with care but it wasn’t until the villain was in cuffs and Hawks landed next to the police before the villain ran after him and touched Hawks on the shoulder before being pulled up.

“Have fun,” The villain said but Hawks didn’t acknowledge him. Just shouted for the police to get him out of here.

“Well Kamui it was fun but I gotta fly!” Hawks said as he waved.

“Man I hate that guy,” Kamui said as he walked away. It was once Hawks got home to rest before he met up with the fire villain known as Dabi that he received a call from Mirko.

“What’s my pretty bird up to,” she said excitedly through the phone.

“Getting ready for my date,” Hawks said automatically. It was after he said it and processed it did he realize what he said. “Wait! Forget I said that,” Hawks said, trying to not out the villain he’s meeting up with that only the hero commission knows about.

“No, you said a date! You’re going on a date and you didn’t tell me! Bitch this is tea and I want it spilled!” Mirko shouted on the other side of the phone.

This time when Hawks opened his mouth he carefully chose his words, ”look I’m meeting up with someone in secret and I can’t tell you everything but I’ll tell you when I can. I have to go now.” With that said, Hawks hung the phone up and sent a quick text to Dabi, not trusting his own mouth.

Can’t make it tonightHave to rescheduled “Shit! This means I can’t go to work tomorrow if this keeps up. Can I not lie! The commission is gonna fucking kill me,” Hawks said as he looked at himself in the mirror trying to figure out what was wrong. A quick flashback happened where Hawks remembers the villain from earlier running from the cops to just give him a brief touch.

“I thought he was crazy, but maybe. . .”

With that Hawks quickly picked up his phone and dialed for the station that handled the villain.

It was after all the formalities that Hawks asked, “What is the villain’s quirk?”

“He seemed to have a truth quirk of some kind. We believe it’s activated by touch but we’re still not fully sure.”

“Alright thank you,” Hawks answered and promptly hung up the phone.

“I’m gonna be in some deep shit soon,” Hawks said, but with no mental energy to do anything else he just changed out of his hero costume into a baggy shirt and boxers and laid in his bed, wrapping himself in not only his wings, but a cocoon of blankets as well, trying to forget about the awful day he is predicting to have tomorrow.

“He wastes my time by waiting till the last minute to text me. That just won’t do. I’ll go and figure out what he’s up to myself if he won’t tell me,” Dabi grumbled to himself on the roof of the meeting place.

“Hey, Kuroguri can ya warp me. Yeah, I’ll send you the coordinates thanks,” Dabi said calmly on the phone as he quickly hung up and texted the misty villain where he needed to go. The warp villain had no need to know that those coordinates happen to be inside the number two hero’s apartment.

“Ya know for the number two it’s really empty,” Dabi said to himself as he walked around the apartment and turned around just as the hero in question emerged from the bathroom, a pair of sweatpants on and a towel wrapped around his neck as he was lost in thought, but that changed as he exited the doorway and saw Dabi standing in his apartment like a deer in headlights.

“Dabi what the fuck are you doing here,” Hawks whispered as if they weren’t in private and coming to him as if to hide him in his wings.

“Okay first off bird brain personal space,” Dabi said as he pushed the bird hero away from him. “Second you canceled and I wasn’t having that. Not when my time was wasted and here you are just lounging in your apartment,” Dabi seethed.

“I’m not lounging I’m showering, or at least I was,” Hawks said instantly, his mouth moving without consulting his mind because of course it would while the quirk was still in effect.

“Does it look like I care exactly what you were doing? Do you think my time isn’t precious or that you can’t give me a day’s notice before saying you’re not showing up to a meeting?” Dabi asked.

“You look like you really care and your time is precious I’d prefer it if it was wasted cause that means I get to spend time with you and I really need to shut up right now,” Hawks said as he quickly put his gloved his over his mouth and oh my gosh he’s so happy that he has his gloves on right now along with a pair of thick fuzzy socks.

“Uhh, Birdie are you okay?” Dabi asked confused cause he himself have thought about making a move towards the Bird but knew he couldn’t as he was a spy.

“Nope, not at all I mean why would I be alright. I’ve been forced to work for 48 hours without a break or I would be punished and my current diet is killing me as I’ve only been allowed to eat salad and nothing else,” Hawks said as he quickly once again covered his mouth. He was revealing too much to the villain.

“Birdie what’s wrong?” Dabi asked as he carefully walked closer towards the bird to remove his hands from his mouth but the Bird wouldn’t budge. “Please tell me. Last question I ask I swear. I have more but I won’t ask anything else after you tell me what’s wrong,” and the comfort words must have worked because the hero lowered his hands and looked at Dabi with tears in his eyes.

“I was hit with a truth quirk while on a team-up mission between Woods and I.” Hawks said as he laid his head against Dabi in relief that he didn’t have to hold it in anymore. It was surprising to the villain how much it actually hurt the hero to not tell the truth right now.

It only took a minute but soon Hawks was lifted in the air bridle style with Hawks screaming at him wondering what he was doing.

“Dabi! Put me down!” Hawks shouted as he grabbed onto the villain’s neck.

“Not happening Birdie!,” The villain said happily and keeping his word he didn’t ask Hawks a question, even though he really needed to find where the Bird’s room was at, instead he opened two doors before finding the room on the third door and walking into the room and carefully placing the bird on the bed.

“Dabi what are you doing?” the hero asked, truly confused.

“You need to sleep. You just admitted to working forty-eight hours straight. Hawks that’s two days with no sleep so get some sleep and I won’t ask you anything till the morning,” Dabi told him, but when Hawks didn’t fall asleep for five minutes Dabi gave in and slipped into the bed, letting the bird cuddle him, even if he was sitting up playing on his phone. Just having someone next to him where Hawks can feel a steady heartbeat made him fall into sleep dreamland.

When Hawks awoke the next day Dabi was no longer next to him, but the pillows on that side were a mess to indicate that yes the villain did sleep in his bed last night and just that thought bought a smile to the hero’s face. It was when Hawks walked out of his room and a wonderful smell wafted towards his nose.

It was quite a sight to see the villain shirtless, scars covering his body, but he wasn’t bothered as he just added more eggs and milk towards the bowl and soaked bread in it on both sides. It was such a sight that Hawks had to rub his eyes and wack himself on his head to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.

“Oh hey your awake,” Dabi noticed as he gestured for Hawks to sit at the bar as the villain placed a plate that was made beautifully in front of him.

“I made french toast topped with whip cream and strawberries dusted with a small pinch of powder sugar and topped with syrup,” the villain said happily in his element.

“I didn’t know you knew how to cook?” Hawks said as he took a bite of the food and almost moaned in delight at how good it tasted. Hawks had never had a homemade meal like this and it was wonderfully melting in your mouth.

“Well I used to cook a lot for my family when I was younger,” Dabi said calmly as he handed Hawks a cup of coffee, and when Hawks drank the thing black Dabi was sure the hero had an evil side to him.

“Did the quirk wear off or am I still not allowed to ask questions?” Dabi asked as he continued to make himself some breakfast with things Hawks was amazed were in his kitchen and fresh nonetheless.

“Nope!” Hawks said happily and then burst into a smile “I lied I just lied the quirk has worn off!” the bird said and it made Dabi smile seeing his wings flap happily. What Dabi wasn’t expecting was for a small chirp to come out of the bird’s mouth only to quickly cover it up.

“Sorry, you weren’t meant to hear that,” Hawks said with his hands over his mouth.

“Hey Birdie look at me,” Dabi said as he put his hands over Hawks and gently got the blonde male to lower them, “Don’t ever be embarrassed by your bird noises at least not in front of me okay. Their is nothing for you to be ashamed about. You’re mutant you have bird qualities and none of them are for you to be ashamed about. All of them are just perfect okay,” Dabi told him knowing all about the mutant discrimination after all Spinner goes off about it at least once a week.

“I-okay,” Hawks said as he let out a happy chirp and it felt nice to not be reprimanded for a natural instinct.

“Who told you that those sounds were bad? And on that topic why were you working 48 hours in a row? I thought that heroes got to pick their own schedule?” Dabi asked.

And at this moment Hawks weighed out his options and fully decided to fuck it and follow his heart. “My handler. I was raised to not show any bird qualities because they aren’t normal and while normally yes hero’s get to pick their schedules I don’t make mine. Never have. My handler is in charge of that just like she’s in charge of my diet. If I truly want a sudden day off I’ll contact my assistant and she’ll do some magic but unless I let my handler know in advance and why I don’t get the day off,” Hawks explained and he was not expecting the absolute anger to come off in steam of Dabi.

“What the actual fuck Keigo!” Dabi steamed but that opened a whole new conversation for Hawks.

“How the fuck do you know my name!?” Hawks asked shocked as he grabbed one of his bigger feathers and quickly turned it into a sword as he pointed it towards the villain’s throat, after all, only four people use that name and one of them was dead.

“Hold on Birdie one thing at a time,” Dabi said quickly trying to push the weapon away from his neck.

“Kei wait! I’ll explain just please put the feather away,” Dabi said but the feather was only pushed closer towards him, one more push and it would draw blood.

“I’M TOUYA!” Dabi finally shouts as Hawks loosens his grip just a little before tightening it and pushing it close enough towards the villain to draw blood.

“How do you know who that is! Touya is dead you can’t be him!” Keigo said tears streaming down his eyes.

“C’mon ask me something only Touya would know! Better yet how did I know your name Kei! I didn’t mean to drag you on! You were never meant to find out! Your blood type is B, you were born on December 28th, we were going to run away together! If I knew the commission still had you under their thumb I wouldn’t have left you there. Look at my roots they are white! When we were sixteen we snuck out used my dad’s credit card and bought some cheap alcohol and got wasted! It was as we took our first sip of beer that we had our first kiss! We were seventeen in Endevarour’s car that we both said I love you to each other,” Dabi ranted just going through his memory of everything he could remember before he was tossed away.

When Hawks put his feather down Dabi felt relief flood through him and thought he was safe, he wasn’t expecting Hawks to backhand him so hard his staples almost fell off. At first, he was angry but when he got off the ground to speak he saw tears flowing down the bird’s eyes.

The next thing he wasn’t expecting was for Hawks to grab him and pull him towards himself fully locking their lips together.

“I don’t forgive you,” Hawks said harshly unlocking their lips and forcing Dabi to sit down after he was sure he turned off the stove.

“Sit your ass down and explain to me exactly what the hell you thought you were doing,” Hawks said as he glared at the villain.

“Okay a few months after my 17th birthday Enji was training Shoto a lot harder than the kid should’ve been, so I stepped in, but dear old dad was really angry at this point. I think All Might had just been rewarded or something like that so I stepped in and he got angry with me. I don’t fully remember what happened but I remember the pain of being burned alive. I woke up a few months later in a dumpster. Endeavor had killed me and thrown me away. I was helped out by a few other people on the streets and learned that Endevaror had blamed my death on a suicide. I looked at another news feed and saw you were introduced as a hero, but I didn’t see the commission anywhere near you. My mind wasn’t in the right place. Anytime I saw endeavor I saw red. I was doing anything I needed for money so yeah I was doing stuff I wasn’t proud of. Then I was hooked on things that I’m not proud of. Soon I was introduced to Shigaraki and he was a man child who threw a tantrum anytime he didn’t get what he wanted.

You looked happy as if you had moved on so I was just planning to kill my father and then myself so you would’ve never known. Then you appeared saying you wanted to be a double agent and I didn’t buy it for a second. Sure the commission sucked but you had always wanted to be a hero. Then I started to fall for you I was trying to get you far away from them but you just kept getting back in my heart.

I’m so sorry Keigo I never wanted you to find out,” Dabi said sadly with his head down in his hands.

“Touya I want to kill you so badly right now! Did you really think my life was better off without you! Hell, we talked about running away together! We talked about marriage about kids about every damn thing! We found ways to fit your siblings and your mom into our plans! How did you think I felt when Endevaror showed up on my doorstep to tell me that you had killed yourself! How do you think I feel knowing I was crying in his arms and then I was only allowed to stay at your funeral for one hour, after that the commission wouldn’t even let me visit your grave. I buried myself into becoming perfect for them I permanently killed Keigo! Natsuo and Fuyumi found me drowning in Alcohol! I was a functioning alcoholic all while being the perfect pet for the commission! I almost killed myself to be with you!” Hawks screamed at him and Touya was shocked at this revelation.

“Kei I’m so sorry!” Dabi said getting to his knees right next to his bird. “I didn’t know you were going through that! Please forgive me Kei!” Dabi begged not wanting to lose his bird again.

“Of course I’m going to forgive you! I love you! Now that I know your alive screw what the commission wants I’m not spying anymore,” Keigo said with a smile as Dabi gave him a shocked look.

“Your not?” he was confused.

“Of course not. You have a strong heart. If your with the league then they’re not evil. They might be a little misguided but not evil,” Hawks said with such confidence that made Dabi laugh at how unbelievable it was.

“I’ve changed Kei. I’m not Touya anymore I’m Dabi now. Hell half the time I can’t stand to look at myself in the mirror. I’m an asshole,” Dabi tried to explain.

“Toga. She’s in the league she’s seventeen. If someone were to break her arm and have her come back to your base crying what would you do?” Hawks asked as Dabi started to steam once again,

“Whoever hurts her I’m gonna kill em,” Dabi seethed.

“You still have a big brother complex,” Hawks said with a laugh as Dabi glared at him.

“I do not!” he said shocked.

“Do too! You’re protective. Have been since I’ve known you,” Hawks laughed as he cuddled into the villain, sending a quick text to his manager to cancel everything he has to do today.

The two spent all the way till late afternoon just catching up happy to be in one another’s presence, not letting either one know about the shit they’ve been truly been thru without the other just happy to be in the other’s presence.

“So when do I get to meet the league?” Hawks asked and that was a conversation Dabi was not expecting to have.

“You still want to meet them?” Dabi asked his friend? Boyfriend? Partner? They’ll figure it out later.

“Of course. When we had our late-night meetups you always talked about them. I want to meet your new family. I want to get to know Dabi. I still love you but I know that you are not Touya anymore. Oh, pieces of him might be in there but your Dabi now. No more late-night meet-ups that could turn into one-night stands. No more alleyway make-out session. We go at a slow pace and get to know each other, after all, I’m not exactly Keigo anymore. We take things slow so introduce me to this new family that you’ve set yourself up with,” Keigo said with a smile as Dabi shrugged, “Sure why the hell not.”
