Chapter 61 - Positive Changes
Soji laid in his hospital bed with Mila curled up at his side. He had one hand gently resting on Mila's back between her wings, the other holding tight to Azumi's hands. Akina was looking up something on his phone while Keigo, Dabi and Jin were at the foot of the bed, watching the doctor look over Soji and Mila. "Well, she has a fever and is sleeping soundly, but other than that I don't see anything wrong with her. As for you, Mr. Nakamura. Your body began to seize from the pressure in your skull. We tried to relieve it when you were in surgery but it's possible you weren't waking up because of that. From what I can tell, she healed the fracture in your skull and some of your ribs. I don't know about the internal bleeding until we get some x-rays done. You're still a bit weak from what I can tell."
Azumi and Soji exchanged a look before Keigo spoke up. "I got a message that the Commission is sending some people to help out with dad's healing. Would they be able to finish up his recovery so Mila doesn't try to heal him again? We've been trying to keep it under wraps." The doctor thought and nodded. "We can send him for those x-rays today, and as soon as the Commission specialists show up, we can check what exactly their quirks do before letting them treat you. Were you all planning to stay the night?" The teenagers looked at each there before Jin spoke up. "We can go back to the apartment and take care of thingth there. Come back tomorrow after Keigo and me get thome retht." Dabi nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you two did a lot of rescue work and need to rest."
Azumi smiled and kissed Soji's hand. "I'll stay here with you and Mila. You're awake which is a great sign, and I don't want to leave you alone here." Soji smiled, looking tired and glanced at the teenagers at the foot of the bed. "Thank you for digging us out. I'm so proud of all of you." Jin rubbed the back of his neck as Dabi took one of Keigo's hands. The doctor left to get an aid up to their room so they could get more x-rays done. Soji made a pained face as he tried to shift and Akina walked over, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Stop moving around. You're potentially bleeding internally and you need to heal." He nodded and closed his eyes as Azumi moved to help him with a pillow.
The teenagers exchanged looks before Keigo walked over giving his mother a hug. "I'm going to head home. We'll be back tomorrow so just call if you need anything." Azumi hugged him back and moved over to hug Dabi and Jin as Soji gripped Keigo's hand. Looking into his father's blue eyes, Keigo blinked as he realized Soji still looked pale and was sweating a bit. "Be safe. I really am so proud of you." Smiling while blinking back tears, Keigo leaned down to give him a gentle hug, Mila got a kiss on the forehead before he retook Dabi's hand and waved to his family as they left.
Jin flew back to the apartment so he could catch up with his grandmother, promising to see them in the morning for breakfast. Keigo opted to walk, holding hands with Dabi as he thought about his father's condition and Mila's actions. Dabi broke his thoughts speaking softly. "So, Mila can heal using cell restoration, huh?" Keigo nodded, not saying anything in reply. Dabi glanced at him while they headed into the apartment building and took the elevator up to the fourth floor. Keigo used his own key to unlock the door and let out a big sigh when Dabi closed the door behind them.
Dabi walked up behind Keigo and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind. Leaning his head back, Keigo let his wings flare out a bit, showing them off as Dabi pressed a kiss on Keigo's shoulder as he warmed up his hands. "You're tense, pretty bird. You should relax a bit, your dad is going to be alright and Mila will be fine as well." Keigo nodded as he set aside his denim jacket, his shoes already removed. "I'm covered in filth from the rescue operations, and I haven't gotten a shower yet." Dabi grinned at him. "Then I'll help with that, pretty bird." He took both of Keigo's hands and led him to the bathroom as the blonde blushed. His wings were flaring out to show off without him telling them to.
**Sexual themes coming up.
Dabi gently began to remove Keigo's shirt and socks, his own coming off with each piece he removed. Keigo was unable to keep his golden eyes from looking Dabi up and down, his exposed chest showing more purple scars across it with sutures holding the clean skin to the burnt. As Dabi moved behind Keigo to gently start massaging his shoulders, he turned on the tub water, making sure it was nice and warm before slowly moving his heated hands down Keigo's back and along his hips to undo his pants while reaching around from behind. Leaning back a little, Keigo let himself give a little chirp as his pupils widened and blew out with want, a thin yellow ring around them. Dabi gently rocked his hips back and forth playfully as he slid down Keigo's jeans and then wriggled out of his own.
Keigo swallowed as he realized there wasn't much left between them, and Dabi turned the bath water off halfway filled, knowing both of them in the bath was going to cause the water to go up. He turned Keigo to face him and gently cradled his face with both hands, his turquoise eyes practically glowing with lust as he spoke softly. "Do you trust me, pretty bird?" Keigo sucked in a breath as how gentle Dabi was being and nodded because he did trust him. He trusted this man as much as he trusted his own family. He trusted Dabi to protect his mother, to help ground him in his time of need. Keigo trusted him enough to let Dabi do whatever he wanted with his body. Beyond his birthday present and the occasional blow job.
Dabi used one hand to pull down Keigo's boxers, freeing his erection as he slid his own down one handed. Once they were both undressed, he took Keigo's hand and gently helped him into the tub. He sat behind the blonde, placing gentle kisses on his shoulders and along his upper back as he began to wash him gently, pampering Keigo completely. Keigo moaned at the warm touch and how close Dabi was. It wasn't until he tried to turn around that Dabi stopped him and moved his hands down to gently squeeze his behind. Keigo had never had sex in a bathtub. His only time had been in his own bed with Dabi reminding him to be quiet. Now, as Dabi prepared him with warm water and soup, he couldn't help but feel a new experience from the feeling of water all around them.
When Dabi was ready, he turned Keigo around, eyes on his as he spoke with a rough voice. "If you don't want this, just say so. I'd never force you to-" He was cut off as Keigo moved into his lap, arms around his shoulders kissing him hungrily. Dabi positioned Keigo through the water as his legs stretched out in the tub, groaning as he felt how tight Keigo was. Keigo also chirped and cooed as they moved slowly, pausing to get Keigo used to it before continuing. And then the rocking began. Dabi thrust slowly into him, hands holding his hips as Keigo was squatting over Dabi. Every thrust rocked the water and sent warm water over more of his body, the cold air outside the tub was a strange contrast and heightened the sense of pleasure Keigo was feeling.
Dabi kept his eyes on Keigo's with each thrust, enjoying the gasps, groans and chirps his pretty bird was making for him. He started to groan himself as he picked up the pace, finding the sweet spot that caused Keigo to start coming undone, a loud gasp as his wings splayed out and sprayed water all over the bathroom as he ground harder onto Dabi who was moving so fast that water was now splashing out of the tub with each thrust. Keigo tried to mumble a coherent sentence, but all that came out was a trilling noise as Dabi reached down and began pumping Keigo's erection furiously. The blonde's head fell onto Dabi's shoulder as he moaned with each thrust losing himself in the euphoria he was feeling.
The pressure built up until he couldn't stand it anymore, releasing under water in the tub right as Dabi reached his climax with a long groan, holding Keigo in place as they both breathed heavily, coming down from their mutual euphoria. Keigo sat back a little, looking at Dabi as he realized he was wet from the splashes of water, his black hair all over the place as he grinned. "How are you doing?" Keigo smiled and rested his forehead on Dabi's as he sighed heavily. "Relaxed. Definitely relaxed." Dabi kissed him gently as he moved to push Keigo back to the front of the tub.
**End of sexy scene
"Now that you're relaxed, drain the tub and we can have a shower and get you really clean." Keigo laughed a bit as he pulled the plug on the tub. "You aren't planning a second round are you?" Dabi shook his head no. "Not right now. My goal was to relax you and then get you cleaned up before settling down for the night. Keigo hmm'd as he watched the water drain, slowly standing when Dabi offered him a hand. "That actually sounds heavenly. I can't wait." Dabi grinned and once the tub was drained, the shower curtain was yanked around to hide them both as the shower was turned on. Both enjoying some time together as Dabi helped Keigo to get his wings cleaned and not have to think about the stresses of his father hurt, or Mila passing out, or the rescue operation and all the bodies they found.
Right now. He could be Keigo, not Hawks. He could do what he needed to relax and he relished every moment he was with Dabi. Judging from the way Dabi smiled and looked at him every time he turned around, he knew the feeling was mutual.

Soji spent three weeks in the hospital recovering, getting treatments from the Commission specialists that were slowly healing and helping with his recovery. With Akina's help, they asked the doctor who witnessed Mila using her quirk to keep it under doctor patient confidentiality. During Soji's recovery Keigo went between the apartment and the hospital. He and Jin got the small apartment they were looking at the day everything went down. Due to what was going on, they planned to move in when Soji returned home from the hospital. To help out, Dabi stayed with Keigo to help get Mila to Sion's, home and the hospital. Occasionally babysitting when it was needed. Azumi stayed by Soji's bedside, helping with his care and recovery as best she could.
Jin was still working at Hook Shot's agency, the pro hero ignoring him for the most part, especially after what happened during the mall rescue. His agency was being reviewed by the HPSC now. Content to give him a series of desk work, paperwork and jobs around the office. Jin didn't mind because Keigo still sparred and practised with him. He only had a couple months before his probationary period would be over. Keigo planned to have Jin help him get his agency up and running as soon as he could get everything set up. The two teenagers made sure to memorize what Hook Shot was doing and how the Commission worked so they could have reference for themselves.
The evening Soji came home, Dabi and Keigo had cleaned the apartment for them. Soji would need to take it easy for a while longer and Mila made a get well banner hung up with help from Sion and Jin. Azumi was carrying his bag of cut up clothes and Keigo had dropped off new clothes for his dad last time he visited. The kitchen was stocked with special foods that would be needed for Soji to eat for a while. The whole place was cleaned up and they all yelled 'Welcome Home!' When Azumi helped Soji into the apartment. He smiled softly at the banner with their friends and family. There were celebrations for both Soji's return home and the new apartment for Keigo and Jin. Dabi declared he had a gig coming up that would take him away for a while, but promised as always to check in now that everything was settling down. He ignored the slight pout from Keigo because the blonde had enjoyed having Dabi staying with him for all that time.
Later that night, everyone was in bed or had left. Keigo was snuggled close to Dabi in his bed, wings draped over both of them as the black haired teenager gently played his fingers through his feathery blonde hair. "Why do you have to leave? You could move in with me and Jin." Dabi opened his eyes and looked into Keigo's golden eyes, blinking. Those eyes were dangerous to him, they made him feel like he would do anything the younger teen asked. "I have my own work to do, as well as following Stain's mission statement and ideals. I won't be gone forever. Just a week at the most." Keigo buried his face into Dabi's neck, kissing the burnt skin gently. Dabi sighed and moved his fingers down to cup Keigo's cheek, forcing him to look up into turquoise eyes. "I am serious about this, pretty bird. I will come back. Promise."
The young blonde nodded and returned to kissing along his neck. "Fine, but it's my turn to make you feel good before you go." Dabi looked confused until he realized where Keigo's hands were going, a cheeky grin on his split and sutured face. "Oh. OH!"
They slept in late the following morning. Azumi didn't bother to even tell them breakfast was ready. Letting them have all the time they needed.

Jin and Hawks walked through the freshly painted hallways of the business building that was going to be housing Hawks Hero Agency. At his Aunt Rubi's recommendation they had chosen maroon floors and beige walls. A more off color from Hawk's hero costume, but shades that would comfort and relax those inside each room. There were still areas with capped wires for lights to be put in, tape on edges to be removed and sanding dust in places, but the teenagers were too excited to care. Two floors with an open center that had a spiraling staircase from one floor to the other. The offices on the second floor were surrounded with frosted glass. Two were reinforced as holding cells with thin metal running through the frosted glass like bars.
The downstairs was separated by solid walls and hallways including a waiting area with some desks and smaller offices for those handling paperwork and answering phones. Hawks had insisted on the break room having comfortable seating and tables, the wiring already set up for the many vending machines and fridges with counter space that would house coffee makers. The more Hawks checked each room, the more excited he was becoming about it. It would be done and furnished by his 18th birthday. And then he could take a few months to hire sidekicks, other pro heroes and administrators for his office.
Jin had been awestruck at all the work being put into this, and didn't say much until Hawks stood in one of the upstairs offices that was obviously going to be his, looking out the large sliding glass doors that led to a balcony but overlooked the city. "Hey Keigo? How are you planning to hire heroeth and thidekickth if you've only been a pro hero for thith monthth? Are you gonna put out advertithmenth?" Hawks shook his head no, turning to grin at his best friend, his wings flared out.
"Nope! I won't need to. For starters the Commission already started sending me files of sidekicks and new pros looking for an agency. I have you as my first and primary sidekick, and with my ranking for the first half of this year, I doubt I'll have trouble getting people. I'll just have to vet them carefully and Uncle Nero is going to help me with that." Jin looked excited as he pulled out his phone. "I forgot they rate you guth twithe a year. What did you get?" Jin pulled up the hero rankings for all of Japan and searched for Hawks in the top bar. He blinked at the hero rating and popularity rating. "Whoah. Keigo your eighty sickth in the ranking and fifty in the popularity pollth! That'th incredible!"
Hawks grinned and shrugged. "Guess I'm that good. I have Sasha to thank for a lot of it. She's setting me up for interviews and modeling gigs now that I have a ranking to run off of." Jin nodded as he stared at his phone a moment. He entered Hook Shot's name and saw he dropped two spots, wincing a bit. "Bet Hook Thot ith pithed. He went down a few pegth." Walking closer, Jin didn't stop his friend from gently moving the collar of his shirt to reveal a bruise. "I wonder why." His golden eyes looked dark as he looked at Jin. The bat-eared teen let his ears droop as he pulled his shirt back up. "He jutht put hith hand on my thoulder too heavily. It'th really not a problem. I'll be done with him in a month."
Hawks sighed, heavily and threw his arm over Jin's shoulder, steering him to look out the window. "And then it will be you and me shooting up the rankings. Hawks and Echo." Jin threw an arm around Hawk's shoulder and grinned.
"Ath promithed."
