Jetstream (Hawks Angst)

While Hawks was asleep, victim to the sedatives, his phone buzzed.

Mirko apted to ignore it at first. But then it buzzed again and she remembered the green haired boy who'd recieved his number earlier.

She picked it up, in case it was an emergency. Instead it was a spam email.

A spam email from a very concise email address that didn't give anything away whatsoever.

So this is how he'd been staying in contact with Dabi.

She could see from the lockscreen notification that it had basically all of what she needed to know in the message. All it read was:

Hey you okay? We were supposed to meet up today I thought.

Wow. Kei even had the league caring about him. She wondered how truly close they were.

She decided to leave it alone, hoping the villain wouldn't push his boundaries and go looking for them.

Kiego didn't wake up for hours.

In the mean time, a psychologist came in and talked to Mirko a little bit about what he would have to do to get back on track. Back to not being an alcoholic.

When Hawks woke up he got the same options explained to him. He didn't look thrilled, just pale and sick, but less so than earlier.

After silently agreeing with the doctor, preparing to be put through whatever recovery program he was being inserted in, he was typing away on his phone.

Messaging back to Touya.

To: Touya

Yeah so
Uhm
Hmmmm
How do I say this.
I am officially an alcoholic
And I officially got hospitalized because of it.
And I am officially in the hospital
Right now
That's why I didn't show
Sorry.

I had a seizure because of severe withdrawal I guess. And now I'm being admitted into a recovery program. And I'm probably gonna go to the shitty stupid idiotic dumb terrible brain prison again. Idfk.

He sent it, knowing his vulgar language wouldn't bother the recipient.

He got a message back quickly.

To Kiego:

Bro. That's not good.
Were you drinking more than when you were with me? Cuz you always got really drunk with me but we only met up every once in a while to drink.

Dude I just looked it up and seizures are like really bad withdrawal symptoms. Are you like okay? Mentally? I thought you'd been doing a little better

He replied again, the conversation almost as fast as a text would.

To: Touya

I was drinking like that nightly. Yeah. Not good lol. The withdrawal is not fun at all.

Idk if I'm ok tbh
It's been way much to cope with and being drunk just makes me feel all happy and satisfied on the inside and it's even better if I don't remember it the next day because at this point the less concious I am for the more time the better. I'm tired of everything. I'm trying to get better but my body is sick my head is sick it all feels hopeless. I went from self harm to alcoholism and now I literally cannot function without it, I can't go an hour without thinking about how much I just don't want to be feeling the way I am and how I don't want to be so aware of everything and I know alcohol can achieve that for me but it's hurting my body so much.
