"I'm out." Casually, Hawks hollers, a snow-white towel draped over his hair, droplets of baby blue descend down from his sloppy damp blonde locks, descending down his locks. He has a hand flat on the towel draped over him, lazily attempting to dry only to give up halfway as he drapes the towel over his shoulder. He has a towel wrapped around his lower half as he looks back over at the static screen of the TV.
"Right." The brunette before the blonde bellows boredom laced in her tired tone as she turns the page, prosthetic now latched on, brow furrowed. She hums as she reads the book before her, draped over the sofa absently reaching out towards the bowl, taking a handful of popcorn, popping the perky plump popcorn into her mouth salted heavily with a heavy layer of butter.
"You left it on?" Surprised, Hawks arches a brow a part of him touched as he drapes over the top of the sofa, his feathers fluttering. The two had enjoyed binge watching the season again she had promised to watch the finale again and the two had agreed it would be best to rewatch the series rather than just watch the finale.
"I did say I would dumbass." Deadpanned, Katsumi places her leg over the other as she turns the page focusing on the book before her. She said she would, so she did.
"That you did." Smirking, Hawks leans into the plush pillow of his palm, smiling softly down at her, his gold glistening gleaming down at her, he couldn't help but stare, such moments were a rarity when it came to Katsumi. She always had this sharp scowl on her constantly, time and time again she always looked so tired, so severe, so done. She was always so serious, she never let herself calm down, she never just let her…seeing these rare moments of her being at peace it was rare, but it was worth it in the end.
Annoyed, Katsumi's ruby red twitches as she tries to focus on her book ignoring the eyes glued upon her, feeling a shaking shudder crawl coursing down her shaking spin making her grimace at the sudden sharp splash of water descending down, dampening her casual clothes consisting of a loose pair of yellow jogging bottoms a familiar set making Hawk's heart soar at the sight, feeling a small sense of pride, of joy, of giddiness at the sight, seeing a snow-white tank top on her. She furrows her brow by the source of water, looking up at Hawks, her ruby reds widening when meeting his glistening gold, feeling a familiar heavy heat to er chiselled cheeks. She furrows her brow by the blistering blush smeared upon her cheeks when seeing the sheer intensity of his gleaming gold, softly staring down at her, his soft smile bringing a sense of warmth, no one had really looked at her like that before not with that sort of intensity. Sure, it was weird to others but this was…this was softer, warmer, more endearing even. She was so used to people glaring, glowering at her, picking up every single flow from her temper to her blunt demeanour, to find someone looking at her like that…she just…she didn't know what to say she really didn't.
"Do you mind? You're getting water on me." Surprised, Hawks jolts up at the voice turning to see the furrowed frown of a pair of ruby red glaring up at Hawks, her hues glaring into his own, a shy shiver coursing down her spine from the droplets of baby blue descending down from stray strands of glistening gold.
"Aw what's wrong with some itty bitty water?" Teasingly, Hawks smirks smugly suddenly diving down wrapping his arms around the squealing brunette, taken aback at the sudden water shoved in her face from his hair nuzzling into the side of her face.
"Hawks! You son of…!" Angrily, Bombarda begins fury flowing through her as he laughs while her light anger turns to a small chuckle of sorts. His hair teasingly tickles the side of her neck, a small smile crossing her lips while he beams broadly at her, joining her side.
"Hawks!" Huffing, Katsumi glares playfully at the smirking Hawks holding her against his bare chest chuckling as one of his many flimsy feathers woops in swiftly stealing her book. Shyly smiling, Katsumi goes limp in Hawk's arms the two settling across the sofa as a still silence hangs heavily in the air between them both, the both of them smiling softly, no words needing to be shed as they hold one another clearly comfortable with one another as Hawks takes hold of a stray strand of brown, admiring it, twirling it between his fingers as the two simply smile at one another.
"You could at least dry your hair." Huffing, Katsumi cranes her head back, leaning on his shoulder, her ruby reds gazing into his glistening gold.
"I could…" Coyly, Hawks smirks softly at her a glint gleaming in his hues when she places her hand on his hair ruffling his golden roots.
"Do you even realize how much damage your hair is going through leaving it like that? Dumbass!" Sighing, she stands up slightly taking hold of the towel draped over his shoulders as he lies in her lap, ruffling up his locks making him smile softly.
"Heh…I saw your fight today." Tentatively, Hawks reaches up, his hand gently touching her cheek as she looks down at him.
"Hm?" She hums, arching a brow focusing on the task at hand.
"With that scorpion guy." Hawks reminds her.
"Oh the wannabe." Katsumi nods her head at the memory.
"Wannabe?" Hawks wiggles a brow befuddled.
"Turns out he was born without venom, seems due to his tail he was bullied and the fact that he couldn't be what was expected of him made him try to be one instead." Sighing, Katsumi explains to Hawks.
"…Huh." Hawks blurts out.
"Yeah…" Katsumi exclaims.
"The way you just punched him and grabbed that braid of his was pretty badass Katsu I got to tell you." Giddily, Hawks smirks smugly, his gold glistening at the memory bringing a small smirk to her lips.
"...Thanks?" Katsumi shyly smiles at him, she didn't think it was that much.
"Though not as fast as me." Smugly, Hawks leans back in his seat that was Katsumi's lap.
"You know that isn't someone you should boast about." Teasingly, Katsumi points out.
"Oh so someone's being cheeky." Coyly, Hawks smirks softly reaching out to the bowl of popcorn.
"All I'm saying is speed isn't the be all and end all." Katsumi sighs combing her fingertips through his hair using his towel as he draws patterns into her tights, a shy smile upon his lips, feeling a strange sense of giddiness seeing her wear his trousers.
"My villain count would beg to differ." Dubiously, Hawks smirks smugly.
"I'm sure. Now come on we got a movie to finish." Katsumi reminds him.
"Fine by me." Happily, Hawks smiles as he then wraps his arms around Katsumi's middle as she too settles, reaching out to the remote courtesy of the flimsy feather of ruby red bestowing said remote to her, unpausing the movie for the two to watch on in peace.
"I'm 10 times funnier and sexier than you" Smugly, Kane proclaims proudly as he smirks smugly perched upon his's deck, waving his legs back and forth while Bombarda exits out of the elevator her brow furrowed at Kane's welcoming words towards the frowning Firefly. Haneul looks on the verge of vomiting, grimacing as she takes hold of her pencil, poking, prodding at the ruined remnants of garbage sliding it off the table towards the bin below eagerly eating up said scraps of garbage.
"10 times 0 is still 0 though." Tiredly, Haneul furrows her brow at Kane, no doubt trying to fix his laptop or something for her to have to use his laptop.
"Jokes on you, I can't do math" Merrily, Kane cheers joyfully.
"58x 4." Sternly, Haneul demands from Kane.
"21." Kane answers smirking smugly while Bombarda facepalms.
"That…how did you even get that?" Baffled, Haneul's green hues narrow glaring into his beady blue.
"I didn't. " Smugly, he leans in, his nose teasingly touching her own bringing a wave of heat to his cheeks making him squeak slightly pushing the wheely chair she was perched upon, reeling, recoiling herself far from the snickering Kane.
"What? But that's wrong." Fuming, Firefly snaps seething scowling.
"Like I said I can't do math." Casually, Kane shrugs briskly brushing her off, leaping down from the desk.
"Why did you even pick that number?" Frazzled, Firefly questions Kane sighing cradling her tense temple, too tired to deal with him once again.
"Cause it's funny." Flimsy, Kane shrugs his shoulders smirking smugly leaning back against the desk.
"How is the number 21 funny?" Frowning, Haneul questions lost perplexed.
"I'm not going to explain how amazing my favourite number is okay guys?" Defensively, Kane huffs crossing his arms over his chest pouting.
"…Okay?" Haneul furrows her brow looking over at Bombarda simply shrugging her shoulders shaking her head at the two before heading towards the coffee, pouring the coffee into her mug just as the elevator door rings and…
"What's up dumbasses!" Surprised, Katsumi jolts up at the bombastic bellow of…
"Katsuki? What are you doing here?" Katsumi questions arching a brow at her brother.
"The old hag made me." Mad, Katsuki grumbles glaring to the side.
"Yo Katsuki how you hanging?" Kane hollers.
"Die!" Katsuki snaps sharply over the thick snowy scarf wrapped around him bringing a small smile to Katsumi's lips.
"Aw love you too little buddy!" Kane winks.
"Hey Katsuki I made a candle for it. I thought it would help in case you smell anything off. I know how sensitive your sense of smell is so here." Happily, Haneul jolts up from her seat as Katsuki's ruby reds widen when she rushes over to her desk, taking out from her bag, a candle.
"Happy birthday firecracker! If you ever wanna do a jam I'm your man!" Merrily, Kane winks at the grumbling blonde.
"I said di-" Angrily, the blonde begins but…
"Think fast." Smirking, Kane cuts the blonde off tossing a black blur at him.
"Bastard that could have hit me." Mad, Katsuki snaps swiftly snatching said object.
"Your reaction time is as fast as ever that'll be good for the drums." Impressed, Kane nods his head approvingly.
"These are…" Katsuki's eyes expand as he opens up the sash of sorts with a pocket where fair few drumsticks proudly present themselves before the baffled Bakugo.
"Like I said if you ever wanna jam…" Kane smirks smugly at the slack jawed Katsuki.
"Tch…just take this." Grumpily, Katsuki grumbles shoving something into Katsumi's chest clumsily catching it revealing it to be a phone showing a scoreboard.
"First? Fair play little brother." Impressed, Katsumi smiles softly at her brother's results.
"Just like Haneul's mark!" Kane points out.
"You remember that?" Tentatively, Haneul whispers a heavy hue of crimson smeared upon her cheeks.
"I tend to remember the most useless stuff." Smoothly, Kane shrugs his shoulders.
"It is true." Katsumi nods her head confirming it.
"Take that I beat ya!" Boastfully, Bakugo smirks smugly.
"Fair play Katsuki I knew you could do it. Guessing ma's celebrating." Coyly, Katsuki smirks softly at Bakugo.
"The hag wanted me to invite you." Irritated, Bakugo glares to the side.
"Course. I'd be happy to come…" Softly, she smiles at her baby brother.
"Oh Bakugo here. As well consider this a gift from the whole agency.." Kane smirks smugly at him gesturing to Haneul who nods her head.
"The fuck is this?" Stunned, Bakugo blinks baffled by the colourful bag thrown his way courtesy of Haneul a goodie bag almost as the others arch a brow by the sight.
"It was your birthday a few days ago right? We got you a bath bomb and candle we thought it'd help you relax after training you know." Kane explains to the boy looking over at the goodies inside as Katsumi couldn't help but smile softly at the thought, the agency always did seem to like Katsuki she remembered when he was younger, when he would come to visit them.
"Yeah all that training is good but don't push yourself it'll only damage your body more." Haneul reminds her.
"I ain't stupid dumbass I know that." Tensely, Katsuki snaps sharply scowling.
"Yeah well if you ever feel like playing drums again I'd be happy to have a session with ya." Kane tells him.
"…Whatever." Katsuki grumbles.
"He means thanks." Katsumi translates.
"Don't put words in mouth!" Mad, Katsuki snaps sharply scowling.
"Oh come off it I see that blush anywhere." Teasingly, Katsumi pinches his cheeks making him seethe.
"Whatever…if you don't go the old hag will kill ya got that!?" Katsuki yells at her.
"I know wait whose taking you home?" Katsumi question concern clear upon her facial features.
"I ain't a brat tch…Dad's waiting for me outside oh yeah he told me to tell you something." Snippily, Katsuki slams his hands into his pockets.
"What is it?" Katsumi quirks her head to the side.
"He wants to invite that bird boyfriend of yours." Briskly, Katsuki turns his back to his sister who without any control suddenly spews out the brown geyser of her coffee, hearing the sharp scream of…
"MY EYES THEY BURN!" Pained, Kane screams, screeching to the high heavens, brown coating, dripping, descending down his body wailing, flailing his body about as he cradles his eyes anguished hurt by the shar searing sensation burning his facial features, cradling them. Firefly frets, rushing over to his side, trying to console, comfort him through this pain while Katsumi simply stares, watching on as the fleeting figure of her brother leaves her agency, her having no clue what to make of her baby brother.
"Alright so people have been asking about crushes and so we've decided to focus this episode on childhood crushes." Cheerily, Kane smiles softly beaming brightly into the camera. The three sit down together, Katsumi sipping her drink while Haneul sips her green tea and Kane downs his sizzling soda.
"Wait we are?" Befuddled, Bombarda furrows her brow at the thought.
"We are." Cockily, Kane beams brightly, grinning giddily.
"When did I agree to this?" Tiredly, Katsumi sighs slumping herself against the seat sighing.
"Ya didn't. But you owe me for ditching out podcast for a while now then I want Bombarda to go first." Joyfully, Kane says smiling smirking smugly at the furrowed frown of Katsumi, a glint gleaming in his hues.
"Why?" Warily, Katsumi's ruby reds narrow.
"Because I think the audience wants to know your type." Teasingly, Kane wiggles his brow bemused.
"Why?" Katsumi's skeptical scarlet narrow further.
"Because while me and Han are pretty obvious with our love lives you're not besides people really wanna know!" Eagerly, Kane raises his fist high into the sky smiling from ear to ear proclaim proudly.
"Urgh fine…." Frowning, Katsumi sighs crossing her arms over her chest too tired to say no, to argue with the video already recording.
"So I wanna start with a certain someone who I know fits Bombarda." Boastfully, Kane smirks smugly leaning over the tabletop.
"And whose that?" Curious, Haneul asks arching a brow intrigued.
"Seto Kaiba." Cockily, Kane reveals proudly slamming the flat of his hand down upon the smooth surface of the table. Haneul squeals slightly when the vibrations from said slam causes tremors to pour out from the singular slam, causing the tea cup containing green tea to squirm, sway slightly from Haneul's tea who scowls. Sternly, she leans forward swiftly cushioning catching her tea, steadying it as she sips said tea, giving a sharp scowl to Kane for his obnoxious outburst having nearly spilled her precious tea.
"…I hate you." Bombarda grumbles under his bitter breath, placing her hand on her temple tired. A small shy steam of smoke spews out of her ruby red fuming facial features.
"I knew it I fucking knew it." Arrogantly, Kane cackles chaotically crazily to the high heavens, a heavy hue of his own dusting his cheeks. He props himself upon his seat spinning, spiralling around arrogantly heckling hollering while Haneul groans placing her head in her hands groaning. Bombarda on the other hand simply rolls her eyes at him.
"You had a thing for Seto Kaiba?" Haneul raises a brow curious at the news.
"Have you seen him!? Plus he was the most normal looking guy he didn't have spikes protruding out of his hair." Honestly, Bombarda confesses shrugging her shoulders.
"Also that power boi!" Bellowing, Kane cheers only to squeak slightly as he comes crashing down screaming shit! Just as he crash lands into Haneul's lap, her greens glaring down into a pair beady blue smiling sheepishly up at her.
"That power too…" Teasingly, he winces smiling shyly.
"I was more of a Joey fangirl." Frowning, Haneul confesses unfazed by Kane draped over her form as she shrugs.
"What but and Mai were…?" Confused, Kane furrows who's befuddled by the thought looking over at Katsumi for confirmation.
"I-It was never confirmed besides she was like an adult and he was a kid!" Feebly, Firefly tries to argue anxiously, a heavy hue of ruby red of her own upon her cheeks.
"Is that what you told yourself as a kid?" Amused, Bombarda smirks smugly, leaning back in her seat.
"Stoop! He had a heart of gold at least my crush wasn't some guy with a belt fetish." Defensively, Haneul huffs annoyed angrily glaring at the two, kicking Kane off her lap.
"I feel so attacked right now…" Kane moans whimpering, his face flat against the carpet below.
"So you're telling me you found the chin attractive?" Curious, Katsumi asks her genuinely curious.
"…N-No I just I don't know what you mean." Shyly, Firefly fidgets staring shyly down at her fingertips.
"If you were a Joey fan, a yugioh fan you'd know what it is here." Confidently, Kane proclaims shakily standing, cradling his stomach.
"Wait that image is real!?" Haneul gawks gaping when Kane takes out his phone revealing said image.
"Yep." Both Bombarda and Kane chorus.
"Oh god…" Haneul places her head in her hands horrified.
"So I think this has made Haneul realize something." Smirking, Kane teases draping his arm over her shoulder.
"What?" Lost, Haneul furrows her brow at him.
"You're morosexual." Merrily, Kane cheers cackling as Bombarda facepalms.
"I'm what?" Lost, Haneul turns to Katsumi for confirmation.
"You're attracted to moron's." Kane fills her in.
"That would make sense." Katsumi nods her head humming in understanding.
"You can't talk!" Haneul argues annoyed pointing at her.
"Excuse you!?" Katsumi furrows her brow at Haneul.
"Okay, okay I have to ask ouran high school your favourite." Kane changes topic smirking.
"Kyoya." Easily, Katsumi answers.
"What!? Even after that weird scene with Haruhi!?" Haneul raises a brow baffled.
"I think that cemented it." Bluntly, Bombarda shrugs.
"So…you like rich and wealthy people?" Kane snickers.
"Also smart people." Pointedly, Bombarda argues.
"Yeah look where that went." Teasingly, Kane snickers smugly.
"What's that meant to mean!? What about you guys?" Katsumi furrows her brow at the two.
"Mori fan." Firefly smiles softly.
"You liked Mori?" Kane arches a brow befuddled.
"I wanted to climb that." Truthfully, Haneul smiles shyly.
"Of course you did, Soundspark?" Katsumi asks him.
"I…I liked Renge." Shyly, Soundspark smiles.
"…What?" Haneul and Bombarda do a doubletake.
"I-I liked Renge." Soundspark stutters.
"…" Stunned, both Bombarda and Firefly stare at Kane.
"What?" Kane furrows his brow at Firefly and Bombarda.
"Nothing we just…" Feebly, Firefly attempts to explain but..
"Didn't think that was an option." Bluntly, Bombarda confesses finishing Firefly's answer.
"She's really cute I mean the way she just gushes about videogames and such I wish I could have had that confidence when I was younger." Animatedly, Kane confesses, his beady blues glisten.
"You wished you could imprint some random stranger to be your dating sim character." Confused, Firefly furrows her brow, her greens narrow at Kane.
"Okay not that but I don't know there was just something about her." In awe, Kane smiles softly blissfully almost in his own little world as he returns to his seat however…it's not for long.
"Maybe when she would hit people?" Cheekily, Bombarda smirks smugly.
"Stoopp! I can't…I can't keep doing this argh!" Anguished, Kane cries out to the high heavens ashamed as he comes crashing down to the ground, embarrassment getting the best of him as the podcast concludes and Bombarda heads home.
Quietly, Katsumi furrows her brow as she looks over at the paperwork plastered on the desk below as she sits on the sofa, hearing the faint buzz of the static of the TV. The screen shows a reporter showing a diagram of sorts with the title of mutant rise in villainairy making Katsumi furrow her brow at the notion. She reaches her hand out to her remote swiftly shutting the TV off just as she hears the door click open.
"I'm home." Hollering, Hawks calls out making Katsumi turn towards the blonde strutting around the place as if he owned the place.
"Welcome home." Aloofly, Katsumi mutters, brow furrowed further scrutinising the papers before her, a part of her baffled by Kane's bubbled handwriting, for him to write so fast with this sort of handwriting astounded her it really did. How he managed to fit each letter into the designated section still shocked her, impressed her even.
"How was modelling?" Katsumi asks as she feels a familiar coat be thrown her way, draped over her shoulder. Softly, she nuzzles into the inner soft feather like fluff within, nuzzling into the side of the coat, her nose twitching finding a soft sense of security from said smell.
"Tiring." Tiredly, Hawks plops himself down on the sofa side, plopping his head on her lap, exhaustion etched into his tired tone. He cranes his neck back nuzzling into her lap as she lowers her papers.
"I'm sure just standing around all day." Amused, Katsumi shakes her head at the thought placing her hand on his head, combing her fingertips through his hair.
"It was torture." Groaning, Hawks whines, leaning into her palm, nuzzling into her tender touch, a shy small smile of endearment gracing her lips.
"You know if I didn't know you I would think you were lying." Katsumi smirks softly down at him.
"Hey modelling is a stressful job." Hawks groans stretching his limbs out wrapping his arms around her form.
"Then be careful Hawks stress is known to cause acne." Cheekily, Katsumi lowers her hand to his cheek lightly slapping said cheek.
"Stoooop." Groaning, Hawks grabs hold of a nearby cushion, slamming his face into said plush pillow.
"Yep." Unfazed, Katsumi smirks smugly.
"So…I should be as lazy as possible." Pleased, Hawks leans back at the thought pulling Katsumi close clinging to her side, nuzzling into her stomach.
"What you should do is help with the washing." Katsumi retorts brow furrowed at the memory of her taking out their clothes from the dryer seeing a fair few flimsy feathers of ruby red scatter all over, she was surprised the machine didn't break right here and there.
"Aye aye captain by the way what you cooking tonight?" Curious, Hawks asks looking up at her as she simply picks up he papers before her.
"Chicken Karrage." Casually, she shrugs her ruby reds narrowing at another part with slanted fancy handwriting so joint together she could barely decipher it.
"Yes!" Hawks cheers grinning giddily.
"Oh by the way my brother came by." Katsumi tells Hawks as she tries to organise the papers below her.
"Katsuki how is the explosive boy? Still as explosive as ever." Coyly, Hawks smirks softly.
"Yeah he's mellowed out a bit though." Katsumi sighs furrowing her brow at the thought of her baby brother she'd always text her brother now and again rarely getting a response but when she would it'd usually be hours later with a curse of some sort thrown in but regardless of how cruel the comment could be seen to other people. Katsumi knew her brother, Katsumi knew how her family were.
"Is that right? I mean with the slime incident…" Hawks furrows his brow, his tone timid, concern clear on his facial features.
"Yeah…." Katsumi furrows her brow her ruby reds darkening as she leans back on the sofa scowling.
"You okay?" Hawks questions his hues narrowing noting her detachment almost.
"It's Katsuki you should be asking that not me." Miserably, Katsumi groans, placing the back of her palm against her closed eye trying to wipe away any residue of tiredness.
"Hey you were affected too. That was your baby brother." Sternly, Hawks reminds her.
"Who I did nothing for while he was suffocating." Scowling, Katsumi leans over slowly scowling at the miserable memory.
"Kat we've been over this you couldn't have done anything." Hawks sighs furrowing his brow at her.
"I still…what if that villain went after him because of me?" Scowling, Katsumi argues annoyed.
"Have you ever fought that villain before?" Hawks asks her.
"No." Katsumi answers.
"Then no." Hawks states.
"But how do we not know that? I mean one of the guys I put away may have gotten him to attack Katsuki or…or…" Anxiously, Katsumi combs her fingertips through her brown locks tugging at a few stray strands.
"Hey, hey come on calm down." Gently, Hawks whispers wrapping his arms around her, standing up slightly bringing her into a side hug.
"I just…" Anguished, Katsumi bows her head pained.
"I know…Listen to me you did all you could you even went to see him to make sure he's okay that's amazing Kat you're king, caring you helped your brother I know you have." Confidently, Hawks reminds her making her sigh shakily.
"Hawks…bloody hell I wasn't even meant to be talking about it." Sighing, Katsumi furrows her brow.
"What do you mean?" Mystifed, Hawks furrows his brow at her.
"What I mean is Katsuki got accepted." Katsumi reveals to Hawks.
"He did? Good on him." Hawks smiles softly.
"Yeah…they plan to celebrate it with a barbecue." Katsumi exclaims.
"That should sound nice." Hawks smiles shuffling slightly.
"They asked me to invite you." Katsumi sighs bowing her head.
"…You're kidding me." Hawks stares stunned.
"Why would I bullshit you on this?" Tiredly, Katsumi furrows her brow at him.
"…Fair point." Hawks gives her that.
"So…you interested?" Katsumi asks.
"Am I interested?" Intrigued, Hawks arches a brow bemused.
"Hawks you don't have to go if you don't want to." Katsumi assures him.
"…Who says I don't want to go? I'm going to be meeting your folks eventually after all." Mischievously, Hawks winks making Katsumi blink baffled, a heavy hue of ruby red forming from his words and cheeky chirpy giddy grin, knowing that glint gleaming in his glistening gold anywhere…
"Oi Hawks urgh…he's going to be the death of me one day." Drained, Katsumi sighs slumping her shoulders, placing her head to her furrowed facial features watching as the happy Hawks preps for the day ahead.
