Flying to his destination, Hawks took in the heavy breeze before his mind went in a thousand different directions, and all of them had to deal with the events that happened last night.
It was almost too much to process. Hikari's betrayal to Dabi, the girl saving his life only to blackmail him into another demand. Everything was getting far more twisted than he had ever imagined and now the bird was at a loss on what to do next.
He had promised his sister that he'd help her get close to the commission but could he really do that? Yes they were related but she was also a villain which made things way more complicated than usual.
On one hand he wanted to help her in any way that he could, but on the other hand he knew he couldn't let the woman get away with these kinds of crimes under his nose.
It was as if Keigo and Hawks were having an unnamed debate with the very idea.
Rubbing a tired hand over his face, the bird sighed before landing in front of the league's secret hideout as he tried to shake off all of his anxiety at once.
He could worry about this later, for now he just had to be the good little traitor, the one that he had been hiding behind for months.
The mission was still there after all, and the hero wasn't about to let it fail.
That's right, he just had to start out fresh, positively for once. There was no time to freak out, he just had to be calm and lay low for now..
Pushing the doors openly happily, Hawks held up two cups of coffee before seeing Toga and Twice sitting in the corner of the dingy living room, the two remaining quite silent. "Heyo everyone! How's it going?"
Although that's when he heard it.
Whatever it was, it sounded like two large elephants stomping above them, two very distinct voices screaming at each other from an unknown source as Toga only looked at her nails unbothered. What the hell was going on?!
"Uhh, what's that?"
The blond haired psychopath only giggled though, pointing towards the stairs with a shrug as she continued to sharpen her knives. "It's Dabi and his girlfriend. Don't worry, they are always like this. It will be over soon.."
Yet her words seemed to make the bird even more anxious, his eyes darting to where she had pointed only to hear something break and shatter a moment later.
Hold on, were they fighting? Was she in trouble?!
Quickly feeling his wings give a nervous flap, the hero then quickly turned up the stairs in order to find out what the hell was going on. Maybe Dabi had found out about his sister's betrayal and was trying to kill her?!
Feeling his mind run in circles, Hawks began to spiral as he ascended the stairs.
Hikari, where is Hikari?! She's upstairs right?
Wait, hold on.
Did Toga just call Hikari Dabi's girlfriend?! What the hell, over my dead body..!
No no no hold on, that's not what's important, Hikari could be in trouble. I have to save her!
The noises grew even louder before Hawks threw open the door with a huff, his wild eyes finally fixated on the sight before him. "Hikari..!"
Gasping in utter panic, the bird found his little sister laying on the ground a couple feet away, Dabi's boot pressed into the side of her face with a mocking smirk as he pushed down with a little more pressure.
All of his feathers began to sharpen in fury at the sight, as Hawks' mind turned murderous without hesitation. He needed to stop this immediately.
It didn't matter if he'd ruin the mission, this psychopath was about to murder his sister!
Although that's when Hikari turned in the direction of his voice, noticing his presence before opening her mouth.
And Hawks expected her to call out for help or scream at him to save her.
So wasn't he surprised when she only smirked, like nothing was wrong in the slightest, her voice light and unbothered by the villain that was currently crushing her head.
"Ah, good morning Hawks. Oh, did you bring coffee?
Widening his eyes in pure confusion, the bird couldn't help but pause at the strange reaction before all of the murder starting to drain from his eyes.
Why didn't she seem concerned right now?
She was in trouble, right?
"I..uhh…"
Finally realizing the position she was in, the girl only turned her eyes up to the villain before his mocking returned as his boot pushed further into her skill. "Ah would you look at that, the hero is here to save the day. What are you going to do now? You gonna give up?"
Twisting her lips into a frown, that girl remained silent before Hawks took a serious step forward. What are you doing, don't just stand there. Get your head out of your ass and do something already! She needs you!
"What are you doing!? Get off of her..!"
Dabi only seemed to scoff though, placing a hand to his chest as he batted his eyes in pure fake emotion. "Of course that's what you say. I'll have you know, I wasn't the one that started this, our little Princess decided to attack me first. I'm the innocent one here.."
Although Hawks couldn't hardly believe that was true, turning to look at his sister as she rolled her eyes. "Yeah right, innocent my ass! You're the one that wants to start something by saying you were sick of looking at my shitty wings!"
The villain could only see the challenge in her statement though, leaning forward before letting his lips curve into a sadistic smirk. "If you really didn't like it then how about you stop laying around being lazy and make me take it back."
Pushing her lips together, Hikari narrowed her eyes, venom lining the corners ever so slightly. "Go ahead, say that again and see what happens.."
Sensing the escalation of the situation, Hawks felt himself finally blink back to life before taking a step forward in anxiety. He didn't know what the hell was happening but this looked really bad. "Ah, wait wait, hold on. Let's just calm down and..."
Although Dabi completely ignored him, his eyes fixed only on Hikari as he mocked her extremely slow, stopping after every word in order to intentionally flare up her anger.
"Go ahead then, make me take it back.."
Seeing that the villain made his choice, Hawks was barely able to process what happened next.
Quick as lighting, five sharpened feathers sprang out of her pocket before barreling towards Dabi as the villain only chuckled at her approach, already allowing his fingers to erupt in blue flames.
Cremating the feathers in his direction, the feathery objects withered away into nothing as the villain couldn't help but throw up a cocky grin, knowing her attempt had failed.
Although because he was distracted with the feathers, Hikari had enough time to release a smaller one from the other direction, grabbing onto his jacket before the villain could process it and yanking him a millimeter backwards.
It wasn't much, but it was enough for the girl to quickly gain the upper hand, grabbing onto his leg and moving it so that she could roll away from being held captive.
Narrowing his eyes in annoyance, Dabi smirked at the move before aiming his quirk down towards her body before Hikari's feathers seamlessly grabbed onto the leg she was holding.
Then, using the momentum of the feather and her strength, Hikari pulled his leg forward and with the strength of the feather, it caused the villain to be swept off of his feet, allowing her to climb on top of him without hesitation and pressing a hand around his neck to keep him in place.
Applying pressure to the skin, she watched as Dabi let out a surprised breathy gasp, pressing the back of his head into the floor before leaning closer with authority, knowing she had won their fight.
"So, you still think my wings are shitty?"
The air was silent after that, Hawks trying to process what he just saw with no avail. Dabi was always the kind of guy that the hero knew not to mess with, the villain that never let anyone lay a hand on them without it being their death wish.
But Hikari was able to take him down, just like that?
No, it was impossible. How in the hell did she do that?!
It was insane in every possible way.
You know, maybe she did actually attack Dabi first. At first he thought it was impossible but after seeing this, maybe the stitched man was really telling the truth.
Noticing that Hawks was at a loss for words, his sister only turned her head before speaking proudly. "What, you impressed brother?"
And honestly, yeah. He was really impressed, and also a little scared.
Dabi seemed to be impressed as well, his cerulean gaze glancing down to the hand squeezing his neck before he let out a breathy laugh at the position they were in. "Kinky, Princess. And in front of your brother too? How bold you are…"
His words seemed to spark something in the girl, her hands immediately releasing the villain before slapping him upside the head in an annoyed yet playful manner.
"You shut up, it's your own damn fault. I'm beginning to think you like getting your ass kicked. That's why you like to piss me off so much, isn't it?"
And at her words, his cocky smile dropped for a second, as if they hit some kind of invisible nerve before putting his facade back up with a smirk. "Sorry to say, but that's just my charming personality."
Hawks couldn't help but stare in silence at the insane couple next to him. He seemed to do that a lot lately, just stare at them and wonder if what he was seeing was in fact really happening.
And seeing the way the two treated each other was another thing that unnerved the hero. The way that Hikari would just slap and insult the villain without a care in the world, without regard to her life, and the way that Dabi would just let it happen.
It was weird to say the least, given that if Hawks tried half of the things she did then he'd be dead immediately. Where the two of them really that close, so much so that she wasn't afraid of a serial murder suddenly snapping and killing her one day?
How lucky. Hawks couldn't relate to that feeling in the slightest, the bird seemingly always feeling terrified and anxious with Dabi.
How did she do it, how could she always act so calm with him?
Once again he was both scared and impressed with it.
Opening his mouth to re-enter the conversation, the hero was suddenly stopped when a new voice seemed to enter the space, Toga's giggling covering any words that came out of his mouth.
"Dabi's girlfriend, there's someone here to see youuuu."
Hikari couldn't help but groan at the name she had assigned her, looking at the crazed blonde haired girl before turning her head in confusion. "Who is it?"
Although her thoughts were quickly answered when a very familiar silver haired man with glasses stepped into view, bowing at her very presence. Of course it was him. "Boss, sorry to interrupt but I thought you'd want to see this."
Hawks on the other hand couldn't help but gasp as he recognized the man before it. This was the bastard that mentally tortured him in that abandoned mall, the one that played around with him. "Y-You, what are you doing here..?"
The man didn't seem bothered though, glancing at the bird before pulling down his hood in order to reveal his hair in an undercut before nodding his head. "The name's Alpha, I follow Valkyrie. No hard feelings about before, it's just orders."
Blinking in disbelief, Hawks tried to process his sentence as Hikari stood up, allowing Dabi to right himself as well before glaring at the silver haired man with disdain. "I told you to keep your fucking rats out of here.."
Alpha once again wasn't bothered, obviously having dealt with the stitched man before. "Dabi, I see you haven't changed."
Glaring back, the villain hummed. "And I see you aren't dead or arrested yet. Pity."
Hikari felt a discourse in the air before speaking over him in order to avoid another fight. "Ignore him, I do. Anyways, what is it that's so important? I told you to relay all information through the phone, or did you forget that?"
Nodding back, the silver haired man gulped at her sudden tone before turning his hand towards the stairs. "I know, sorry about that but we finally found him. The traitor that escaped. What would you like us to do to him?"
At that, Hawks watched as his sister's eyes filled with newfound bloodlust before twisting her lips into a cruel smile. Finally, they found him. "I'll take care of it. Bring him to me."
Bowing at her orders, Alpha nodded before lifting his phone up to his face, already shooting off a text in the process. "As you wish. I'll inform them."
The girl then dusted off her outfit before turning to Hawks and Dabi with a cynical gaze, practically hungry for the events that were going to unfold. "Sorry boys, looks like I have to deal with something really quick."
And Hawks didn't know what that meant, but given previous experiences he also knew it couldn't be good.
As the group made their way into the living area of the leagues hideout, Hikari crossed her arms over her chest, overly eagerly awaiting something as her brother watched with hidden horrors.
Whatever it was, she seemed really excited about this, and that was concerning in itself.
Although they didn't have to wait long as a found person entered a moment later, dragging someone into the space before throwing them on the ground without a care.
And looking at the man that was bound, blindfolded and gags before him, Hawks couldn't help but let out an audible gasp.
Hold on, he knew this guy, this was the same guy that had tried to attack Hikari, the one he rescued her from on top of that building and the raid that Shadow had put together to take down Valkyrie.
But why was he here, why now?
Snapping her fingers, the men took in the command before removing both the gag and the blindfold as her heeled footsteps made their way to him, agonizingly slow. "We meet again. You didn't really think you could try and run from me, did you?"
The traitor eyed Valkyrie with fear before quickly trying to shake off his restraints in order to avoid whatever sick thing she had planned. "You winged bitch, let me go right now before you regret it!"
Yet Hikari didn't seem intimated in the slightest, slouching down so that they were eye level as the man took in her crazed hungry expression. "Aww how cute, you think you can give me orders. I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see, I'm already pissed."
Pushing her lips out into a fake pout the villain hummed. "Not only did you try to betray me but you just had to get those commission dogs involved, didn't you? You know, because of you I have one on my scent. It is very inconvenient for me, however will you atone for your boss?"
Her voice was sickly smooth and playful, almost like it was fake. It cut into the man immediately, causing his body to flitch as she lightly touched his nose with her finger.
And although Dabi was slouched against the wall, clearly unbothered by the situation, Hikari's brother was quite different.
He couldn't help but stare in utter horror as she took joy in playing with this man, her villain tenancies fully on display all at once.
Yet to everyone's surprise, the man wasn't going to go down with a fight, struggling against his ropes once more before shouting back to the villain with pure malice.
"You aren't my boss. In fact, he should have killed you when he had the chance."
Confusion quickly lined Hikari's features before the man quickly clarified, his tone cutting into all of the memories she tried to keep locked away in a single moment as he took pride in the way they affected the supposably unbreakable Valkyrie.
"It doesn't matter who you try to be. In the end you are still Riku's little pet birdie."
At the name, Hikari's entire body language changed, her once confident and firm stance now slightly broken as the traitor took in everything about it with pure and utter joy.
Oh, so that's why he betrayed her. It's because he followed that bastard, didn't he?
The room suddenly dropped in temperature at that, Dabi eying her with curiosity as the girl balled her fists at her side before her necklace across her collarbone vibrated with extreme fury.
Just hearing his name after so long, it made her want to go insane all over again.
That asshole's hands on her body, his orders in her ear and his very presence swirled around her in unpleasant memories as Hikari began to grit her teeth so hard that it drew blood.
Hawks watched with confusion, opting to take a step closer to her as he saw her pure and utter torment behind uncaring and cruel eyes. What was she thinking about right now? What he said seemed to really affect her.
Wait, did that guy just say Riku? Where had he heard that name before? It sounded so painfully familiar to him.
Although, that's when it clicked, recalling Shadow's words immediately.
That was the name of the previous leader of his fathers gang, wasn't he?
The Takami gang that was now Hikari's, before her it belonged to that Riku. Did he really still have followers? It was almost hard to believe given how many years it's been.
After what seemed like forever, Hikari's teeth began to unlatch themselves before giving a low dark laugh, echoing throughout the walls as her very words caused everyone in that room to feel a number of unnamed chills.
"I see, well if you support him so much then I guess you'll just have to join him."
Everyone then watched as the female villain reached down before gipping onto the traitor's hair and forcibly pushing him with her as she eyed the empty closed room next to Dabi while the man screamed. "What the hell, get your hands off of me!"
Hikari didn't seem to care though, glancing at her stitched friend before muttering under strained breath and barely functioning breath. "Do you mind?"
Shaking his head the villain only shrugged before pointing to the empty room once. "Go ahead, but if you make a mess you're cleaning it up.."
The girl just barely managed a nod before kicking open the door with her foot and throwing the pathetic man into the darkness as she followed him with hidden intent.
And as the door shut, the traitor wiggled around on the ground before trying to keep his calm. He didn't know what Valkyrie was going to do to him but given the girl he was sure he could take it.
She was just a weak little leader after all. All of those stories of her being ruthless were probably all just talk. "W-What are you going to do..?"
Although Hikari only chuckled before slowly moving towards the man as her fingers graced the crystal pendant in slight wait.
He didn't think she was scary, did he?
What a mistake for him.
Then the villain ripped off the necklace as the man's eyes widened, seeing a pair of massive red wings slowly approach him with sickening delight as his smile dropped a moment later.
"I'm going to make you apologize for what you just said."
The room outside was silent as Hawks and Dabi looked at each other before they heard a loud ear piercing scream emerge from a voice on the other side, and it wasn't Hikari's.
Feeling his blood run completely cold, the bird then turned to a noise before his entire heart dropped inside his chest. What the hell was going on in there, what was she doing to that guy?!
Although it seemed he was the only one remotely concerned with the scene, Dabi only lazily taking out a cigarette before lighting it with his flames.
"Relax bird shit, she never takes long."
The words did little to calm his nerves though. Dabi was talking like this was a normal occurrence, was that really true? Did Hikari do these kinds of things all the time?
He supposed it made sense, she was a villain.
But that didn't make it hurt any less, knowing that his baby sister was probably murdering and torturing that guy behind that closed door. He shouldn't have even been standing here right now, he should've helped that man get away.
Yet it seemed that the idea of Hikari doing these heinous things was still hard to believe in his mind.
Besides, no matter how much he hated it, the commission told him to lay low, which meant he was forced to ignore this crime for the sake of the mission.
And although he knew that, the hero couldn't help but feel a bit of bile working into his throat because of it, only watching as he heard the guy scream for help and beg her to stop.
Some hero he was, right? Utterly pathetic.
After what seemed like forever, the noise stopped completely before the door opened, revealing Hikari. Her eyes were clouded in unexplained emotion while her arms were coated with thick drops of blood.
And Hawks didn't need anyone to tell him, he knew that wasn't her blood.
Wiping off the surface almost robotically, she then moved over to the silver haired man before just breathing muttering out. "Take him somewhere remote and then anonymously call the police so he can go to the hospital. I don't want to look at such filth anymore.."
Alpha nodded in reply before Hikari immediately headed for the stairs in order to get back to Dabi's room. "I'm going to clean up, and then we'll head out, okay, Hawks?"
At the sound of his name, the bird practically flinched before nodding back in understanding, his surprised tone part of the shock he was feeling. "Uhh yeahh that's okay. Take your time."
The girl didn't even acknowledge his answer as she ascended the steps, causing Dabi to finally kick himself off the wall in order to follow her silently, already knowing what she was probably feeling right now.
And although Hawks didn't like that the stitched man was following her, he didn't speak out on it. He couldn't help it, the bird was still reeling from what he had just seen.
The fact that she didn't kill that guy was honestly surprising in itself but the hero couldn't focus on that right now. Maybe later, but not right now..
No, he just couldn't get over the faint echo of screams still ringing in his ear, wondering how broken she must have been to do something like that.
He had come into the hideout today confident that he could bring his sister out of her villain ways, that he could somehow save her from her own fate.
But now after what he just saw, Hawks realized that it wasn't going to be that simple, and Hikari had a long way to go before she could be pulled out of whatever hell she had placed herself in.
As much as Hawks wanted to be positive, he couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
Because what he just saw, that wasn't his sister, that was Valkyrie.
Washing the blood off her hands, Hikari looked at the surface with disdain before turning off the water and exiting the bathroom a moment later.
She didn't understand why she was feeling so strange about what happened downstairs. Maybe it was because that guy mentioned that bastard's name, maybe he still had some kind of unknown pull on her for some reason. She didn't know, but the girl couldn't help but be unnerved by it.
Maybe it's because your brother was watching you, watching how disgusting you've always been. The pretty little life that you faked, now he knows it's really gone.
Shaking her head away from the unpleasant thought, Hikari absentmindedly began to wipe her newly cleaned hands in order not to feel such a reason.
No, that couldn't be. She didn't care what Hawks thought of her, that wasn't the problem.
She was just still anxious about that guy saying Riku's name, that's all it was. There was no attachment to her brother, she could care less what kind of disappointed and terrified expression he made.
It was about time he realized how much of a monster she was anyways.
Sighing to herself, Hikari then let her mind wander to her conversation with Hawks the other night and how she blackmailed him into bringing her closer to the commission.
Was it a good move on her part? Yeah it was, because with her brother's help she could finally bring down the bitch that ruined both her life and killed who Keigo was before.
She wanted nothing more than to make her pay, to make her regret ever coming to the orphanage with the intent of molding her brother into one of their sick twisted soldiers for a bullshit cause.
Although she couldn't help but admit that what she had decided was never the original plan. In fact, she was just going to let Dabi kill him and be done with it. That's why she had agreed to this damn job in the first place.
So changing her mind, that was something Hikari didn't understand.
Because in doing so that meant that the girl had to live with her brother again, she had to continue to be reminded of the person he once was and torture her with things that could never return.
Yes, for Valkyrie the idea of blacking mailing Hawks, a commissioned soldier to do what she wanted was an extremely smart move, smarter than just letting Dabi kill him.
But for Hikari, it only brought more unnecessary hurt.
And that's why she was conflicted, the girl choosing to shove her unkempt and lingering feelings down in order to look at things from her villain perspective.
That's why she changed her mind, it was because she saw the possibility of exploiting him.
It wasn't that she cared. She had already gone through this a million times anyway.
Hawks didn't care, so why should she?
Twisting her lips into a frown, the girl paused when she heard someone call back to her, his lazy and amusing tone cutting through every invisible thought in her mind.
"Someone's spiraling.."
Hikari couldn't help but blink back to reality at that, turning only to find Dabi watching her with his usually half lidded gaze. How did he even get in here, she didn't even notice it. Was she really spiraling that badly?
Because his words had caught her off guard, Hikari couldn't help but notice that her response was far less confident than usual. "S-Shut up, I wasn't spiraling, just thinking that's all."
The villain only hummed though, taking an interested step forward. "What's the difference with you? Come on Princess, I think we've known each other long enough by now. Whenever you crinkle your forehead like that it means you're thinking about some serious shit."
Then to prove his point, Dabi reached up one of his hands before pressing his finger onto the middle of her forehead with a smirk. "See, you're doing it now."
Widening her eyes at the realization, Hikari quickly slapped his hand away before taking a step backwards without thinking.
This bastard, that's right she had to deal with him too.
In order for her plan to work she had to keep lying to Dabi, which meant hiding mannerisms that the villain was already familiar with.
And that was going to be harder than she thought, mostly because the two already knew each other like the back of each other's hand. Sure, for anyone else the girl was impossible to read but for him, he seemed to always read her mind.
But that was the disadvantage of growing up together, you tend to notice and pick up everything about each other after a while.
Doing her best to hide her mannerisms, Hikari tried to reply as smoothly as possible. "Fine, you got me. I guess I'm just still on edge with that traitor. He said that name and I got pissed, that's all. It's nothing I can't handle."
Although from the way Dabi was watching her, the girl knew he didn't buy that response.
And to confirm it, he spoke a moment later. "Are you sure it doesn't have something to do with the fact that your big brother was watching?"
Feeling her heart twist inside her chest, Hikari responded far too quickly, already trying to erase the idea from her mind. "What are you saying? No, of course not. I don't care what Kei..I mean..Hawks thinks of me. Let him be horrified."
Dabi's silence obviously meant that he didn't agree with her statements, causing Hikari to gritting her teeth at the very idea.
Like she said, he could always read her like a book.
"I'm serious Dabi, he means nothing to me. What happened downstairs was part of a job, that's it. Yeah I may have gotten carried away but it has nothing to do with my brother. All I see is a commission soldier now, a dog of the state.."
And because of the amount of passion in her eyes, Dabi couldn't help but turn his head at her explanation before taking another menacing step forward as Hikari took another back.
She couldn't read his emotions right now, what was he thinking?
Reaching down, the villain's hand suddenly latched onto her chin before pulling her body close to him, so incredibly close that it caused Hikari's head to spin immediately.
His lips then began to inch closer, just centimeters from her open mouth before blowing hot air into the center with very serious intent.
And all at once, Hikari was reminded of the nostalgia, and of the night they had shared together. His hands on her body, his breathy moans in her ear and everything that came after.
Feeling herself gulp silently at the warmth between her fingers, Dabi took in her expression before his voice uttered into her, low and purely villainous.
"You aren't trying to fuck with me, are you Princess?"
The girl just barely took in his words before forcing herself to form any response. Although, all she got was a breathy gasp, clearly distracted from the distance. "I..huh..?"
Knowing exactly what he was doing, the villain then turned his head only slightly in order to clarify with dark intention, every word causing her breathing to almost stop inside her throat.
"You know what happens if you decide to double cross me and help that bird brother of yours, right?"
And that was the first time Hikari truly understood what he was trying to say, the girl forcing all of her will power to drag her gaze from his lips to his accusing gaze. "W-What? I don't know what you're talking about.."
Yet the villain seemed to expect this, his locked gaze growing deeper as he forced his head even closer to her, if that was even possible given the distance they had already been at.
Now his lips were just barely grazing hers, pausing in silent wait as the faint taste of smoke and ash teased her all at once. "I think you do. You wouldn't have had anything to do with that file, now would you?"
Hikari couldn't help but widened her eyes at the very clear accusation.
He suspected her of changing the files. Well, of course he did, that's just how he was. Never trusting anyone, always waiting for people to go behind his back.
And although she did go behind his back, the girl had already prepared for his moment. Yet, she couldn't help but still be slightly distracted by his tactic of close contact.
That bastard, he knows I won't be able to think straight like this.
Knowing she couldn't let him win, Hikari's eyes just barely traveled back to his lips before forcing them into his gaze once more, so that he could read every bit of her reaction.
Forcing her voice to come out as smooth as possible, the girl replied with a slight stutter.
"I-I are you kidding Dabi, that's what this is about? I get you're pissed that you didn't get what you wanted b-but don't try to accuse other people. I w-wanted Hawks dead just as much as you."
Okay correction, she replied with a large stutter given the distance and her heat beating out of her chest. She just couldn't help it, this man knew how to twist her around his little finger so easily it was almost sickening.
The room was quiet for a moment, almost as if Dabi was trying to decide if her words were utter bullshit or not. And although they were, Hikari hoped that he would buy her story and leave it alone so that she could finally breathe again.
Yet, that's when Dabi turned his head unknowing to Hikari, only to make out the tip of a pair of obnoxiously red wings just through the crack in his door leading to the hallway.
Oh, bird brother was watching them was he?
He must have not trusted him to be alone with Hikari like this.
Maybe he was planning on being the big hero and saving the day if I went further. How self righteous of him, wasn't he?
Well then, might as well give him a show.
Hikari then watched as the villain's slightly parted lips seemed to twist in the attempt of a smirk, the girl not understanding the context until it was too late.
All at once, she then felt as Dabi slammed her back into the wall behind them before the scent of ash and smoke poured around her immediately, filling her nostrils and making all possible breath lodge in her throat.
He was on top of her now, the warmth in his fingers still holding her in place before his head immediately found its way to her ear a moment later, the man's voice two octaves lower than it had previously been.
"If you say so Princess, just remember I can take anything I want, anytime I want, you got that? Mark my words, Hawks will be dead, it's just a matter of when."
Feeling her entire body shiver at his tone, Hikari couldn't help but audibly gasp as his tongue found his way across the top of her ear a moment later, taking slow satisfaction in teasing her.
She felt the way it worked around the top and around her earlobe, wetting the surface as the girl's legs started to shake in utter anticipation as Hikari couldn't help but stutter back. "D-Dabi w-what a-are y-you..."
Yet the villain only hummed before purposely nibbling on the side with lustful intention.
"I told you Princess, I take what I want."
Then his hands found their way to her hips before the villain gave her thighs and tight squeeze as Hikari felt her back push against the wall at the sensation.
She didn't know why he was doing this but Hikari couldn't think straight anymore, the heat from his fingertips and his tongue driving her absolutely mad, just like it always did when he touched her.
And there it was again, that faint gut tightening feeling of love, of acceptance, the one that she was always craved and hungered for all the same.
It felt so good, so much so that Hikari couldn't help but want more, for his tongue to find it's way inside her mouth, to have him kiss her as she cried out all of her tears and anxiety once again.
She craved it and wanted it so badly.
And Dabi could sense that, his head dipping even lower before his hot breath rested on the soft skin of her neck before practically growling into the surface all at once as her shivers multiplied into a thousand more.
"Oh, someone's enjoying herself. What if I do this?"
Then Hikari felt as his lips pushed against the sensitive area on her neck before sucking on the skin with heart pounding force, causing her to arch her back against the wall in pure surprise as a breathy moan couldn't help but escape her lips.
Feeling his quirk start to smoke and heat up on her tights, it was obvious to tell that Dabi truly enjoyed that reaction, the villain pushing his body further into Hikari in order to feel even more connected.
Heavy breaths poured from under her lips and Hikari silently begged him to continue, to touch every part of her body and leave her just as lightheaded and dizzy as he always did, to take away the doubt and pain that was plaguing her life in a moment.
Yet that's when he pulled away.
Breathing out a strained sigh of his own, Hikari only watched his bated breath linger for a moment before his hands purposely tightened around her thigh, almost as if he was having some sort of silent battle with himself, debating if he should continue.
And she wanted him to, she wanted him to continue with everything in her body.
But unfortunately, Dabi made his decision a moment later, tracing two fingers over the purple and pink mark on her neck before allowing them to trail to the ends of her hair.
Then the villain silently twirled them around in his fingers before bringing the strands up to his lips and kissing them with hidden lust as Hikari watched in her dazed state.
Smirking under his breath at the reaction, he let her hair slide through his fingers a moment later, pulling his lips away before giving her a knowing look.
"Don't miss me too much Princess."
Knowing he wasn't going to get a reaction from Hikari, the villain then silently left the room, purposely locking eyes with a very furious and murderous Hawks on the way out in order to give him a cocky and challenging look.
Hikari on the other hand, only stood in utter silence, her entire body still in utter shock as she absentmindedly placed her hand across the mark Dabi had left on her neck before her entire face lit up in bright red embarrassment.
Sliding to the floor, the girl then forced herself to huff out a breath before thinking just what she had gotten herself into.
Oop, we got some spice. I call this chapter, Hawks is a third wheel for two psychopathic lovers. Honestly that's the whole relationship. Here we see that both Hawks and Hikari are not prepared for what is going to happen in this season.
Also it's revealed that Hikari's original plan wasn't to keep Hawks alive, but she changed her mind. I wonder why is that? Maybe the love for her brother isn't completely gone, like she would like him to believe.
And I know that both Hikari and Dabi do some morally grey things, Hikari torturing that traitor guy and Dabi purposely touching Hawks' sister so he could watch. But hey, they are villains after all.
Also just a little tease of Riku. We will get to him very soon, and you can see why Hikari hates him so much. Also we stan a queen that can take down Dabi like nothing.
Next Chapter: Hawks finds a way to possibly drag Hikari out of her villain ways.
