When Hawks woke up, Dabi was gone, but he was propped up with the Villain's jacket draped over his mangled wings.
"w-what a... Hypocrite..fuck..en breaks e-em and then he...acts all s-sympathetic"
He then started to violently hack up blood and petals, feeling thorns tearing at his throat, he'd gotten to the point of coughing up entire flowers. Which is bad. But he'd been told multiple times by the very few people who knew who he had it for, nevermind knew he even had it, that it was remarkable how long he'd lasted. What, it was about 8 years since Touya died. And he'd had it since he met him so.. 9 years. 9 years of this shit, which he supposed WAS quite impressive that he'd lived that long.

After about half an hour he'd finally stopped coughing, he curled up on the ground a little away from the disgusting mixture of flowers, petals and blood
He'd been told so many times to just get it removed but he didn't WANT TO. This was the last thing he had of his friend, he hadn't given up hope of finding him, if the feelings didn't leave, then surely there was still someone to attach them to

He'd devoted so much of his time to finding him.
He couldn't give up
He couldn't just let it go
Touya was somewhere
He was sure of it

He'd find him

Yeah

That's what he was always going to do

Dabi walked back into the dark room to see Hawks curled up in a corner, softly whimpering in his sleep- well.. He'd kinda passed out..... There was a puddle of blood and petals on the floor
"fucks sake Keigo. You still didn't sort that out huh?... Have you even figured out who it was from?"
He sighed and picked him up, putting the hero over his shoulder and walking out. The League had decided to at least let him be kept in the spare room

Which was kinda his idea

He didn't like the thought of Keigo being kept in an empty, dark concrete room. He didn't know why, but it made him so fucking pissed off

He set the hero down on the bed and sighed, sitting down beside him, once again, running his fingers through his soft hair and laying down beside him.
He felt kinda happy like this
Obviously he'd leave before Keigo woke up
Probably
