"My brother was attacked again while I was bathing in some stupid bath!" Mortified, Katsumi wails to the high heaves horrified, tears freely falling much to Hawk's surprise. H rushes over to her side, clumsily catching the crying crimson eyes girl.
"A private spa bath." Meekly, Hawks tries to offer some sense of support.
"I'm the worst of the worst." Katsumi mopes bowing her head horrified.
"Kat…" Gently, Hawks begins brow furrowed.
"You think I don't know how much of a shitty person I am I mean why are you wasting your time on me? Have you seen the girls lining up for you? Mount lady? Miriko? Those girls were right I should have taken you to the hospital but I didn't I didn't. I was stupid I was fucking stupid." Sneering, Katsumi berates herself raising her hand to her arm horrifying Hawks.
"NO! Kat I asked you to not take me to the hospital." Sternly, Hawks corrects her stopping her from doing such a sluggish strike.
"I should have you would be cared for better you wouldn't be bothering with someone like me. I can't care for people, I'm can't I'm strong I'm better I'm powerful, I don't feel things, I can't feel things I'm stronger I have to be, I have to be brave for the people, I have to be in control, I have to be…I have to be alone or else I'll just hurt people." Pained, Katsumi whimpers intensely stating the fact furiously.
"You didn't hurt me." Gently, Hawks whispers, his tone soft as he leans in.
"Look at you! Look at your back if I had gone like you wanted I could have helped I could have stopped you from getting hurt from your wings being singed I could have…I could have…if I had been stronger I could have saved my brother but instead I simply stood there and watched him struggle, watched him cry, watched him flail and scream as he was suffocated as he was being chocked as everyone else was laughing ad smiling at the sight I was no better than the fake heroes he so despised." Katsumi removes herself from Hawks, pain laced in her trembling tone, turning her back to him slumping slouching her shoulders.
"You're not a fake." Firmly, Hawks places his hand on her back squeezing said shoulder.
"But I am! I am! I didn't become a hero to save people to be like all might I became a hero to be selfish to control this quirk that hurts people that ruins people that…" Truthfully, Katsumi says scowling, tears threatening to freely fall.
"Kat you trying to learn how to control your quirk just shows how selfless you are, just shows how dedicated you are in saving people from getting hurt by your quirk that's heroic in itself." Gently, Hawks softly places his hands on her shoulders softly bringing her back on the bed.
"Why do you stick around?" Anguished, Katsumi bows her head placing her head in her hands.
"Huh?" Hawks blinks baffled by the question.
"Everyone leaves…I hurt them. I hurt everyone." Katsumi curls in on herself.
"You don't hurt everyone Kat…" Gently, Hawks tells hers.
"That's what you think now just wait I'll hurt you eventually too. It's what I always do. You know they say quirks are an extension of yourself, funny that mines are explosions no?" Katsumi hollowly heckles staring sadly down at her hand.
"Kat…" Hawks furrows his brow his heart aching to hear her words.
"Why do you linger?" Scowling, she demands from him.
"I guess I'm just stubborn." Simply, Hawks shrugs making her scowl.
"…I'll burn you, I'll…" Katsumi begins but soon trails off blinking back the tears further falling from her.
"I don't believe you will. Besides even if you did I'll just come back." Confidently, Hawks assures her.
"…Why?" Lost, Katsumi questions him.
"Guess I'm just stubborn like that…" Casually, Hawks shrugs his shoulder.
"...Why don't you get it!? I'll hurt you like I hurt Katsuki like I hurt Ryoma like I hurt…" Angrily, Katsumi seethes snaring looking like a fierce feral beast about to strike.
"Maybe I'm a masochist." Unfazed, Hawks with a smile upon his face answers undeterred by her anger, by her rage by her fury….
"If I can't be there for my own brother who says I can be there for anyone? Who says they even want me to help them?!" Upset, Katsumi snaps at him.
"I do!" Hawks insists.
"…What? WHY!?" Katsumi snaps scowling once more at him.
"I want you by my side not having you by my side…I…I…it won't feel the same it'll feel cold I'll be lonely without you…." Blushing, Hawks confesses to the drunk Bombarda brow furrowing from his words.
"….There are so many better people out there better than me." Miserably, she slumps in his arms as he holds her.
"…and there are better people out there better than me for you." Gently, Hawks whispers his temple touching hers.
"…Hawks…" Katsumi whispers her voice cracking breaking.
"But I want to be near you I want to be by your side, I don't want to be lonely and I know you don't either." Shyly, Hawks entwines his hands with hers squeezing said hands.
"…You have a stupid face." Feebly, Katsumi slurs scowling at him.
"Yeah…?" Amused, a small snicker escapes his lips.
"I like your stupid face. It's so stupid. It's so… I like it. Can I touch it?" Swiftly, she plops herself down on the bed reaching out to cup his chin.
"Of course…" Happily, Hawks leans into her hand, a small smile of comfort clear on his face.
"I want to go to sleep but I can't find any sheep." Slurring, Katsumi groans, nestling her head in his chest bringing a small shy smirk to his lips at the sight.
"Want me to count them for you? One…two…" Tentatively, Hawks begins as he brings the crimson cheeked Katsumi close to him, into a side hug of sorts, his arm draped over her shoulder bringing her close to his chest. He begins counting to himself happily holding her as the next thing the two knew, their eyes were beginning to feel as heavy as lead. They descend down once more into the dark depths of their mind. Hawks nose twitches feeling his muscles ease as he curls closer into her side, feeling a wave of ease, of safety, of security as they fall asleep in one another's arms happy to be by each other's side once again…
"You look like shit." Bluntly, Mitsuki greets her daughter as Hawks and Katsumi stand in the doorway, being supposedly warmly welcomed by Bombarda's mother. Hawks sweat drops at the greeting having adjusted to the Bombarda's household or at the least that's how he likes to think. But even then this family did tend to surprise him so who knew what other surprised they had up their sleeves?
"Your face is shit." Scowling, Katsumi deadpans making Mitsuki's ruby red twitch at her daughter's stoic stone face firmly frowning.
"Oi you little shit is that how you talk to your mother!?" Mad, Mitsuki snaps sharply scowling, yelling at her brother simply staring pokerfaced unfazed.
"Could we just? For once in our household not shout?" Tiredly, Katsumi sighs pinching the bridge of her nose exhaustion etched into her tired tone feeling her tense temple throb from the searing sensation in her head. enter the Bakugo household, her hands shoved in her pocket while Hawks happily waves at Masaru, shyly waving at him before returning his focus to his laptop, adjusting the thick lens of his glasses.
"How hungover are you?" Mischievously, Mitsuki smirks smugly, a hand on her hip as she arches a brow bemused by her daughter suffering state smirkingly looking over at Hawks, raising a brow at him, a glint gleaming in her eye earning a small strained smile from Hawks.
"H-How did you know that!?" Taken aback, Katsumi falters from her accurate assumption.
"Sweetie like I said you look like shit." Sighing, Mitsuki bluntly deadpans
"It was a quirk." Katsumi grumbles as she sits down on the chair smoothly slid out of the table by Hawks looking worriedly at the girl groaning, cradling her head.
"That's bull." Merrily, Mitsuki snickers smirking shaking her head at her daughter.
"That's not bull." Briskly, Katsumi deadpans scowling.
"She was right it was a quirk." Hawks confirms calmly, trying to be fair.
"Right sure, Hawks I appreciate you trying to get grandkids for me but take your time." Teasingly, Mitsuki winks at the baffled blonde.
"The fuck!?" Furious, Katsumi snaps scowling at her mother.
"P-Pardon!?" Polity, Hawks blurts out lost.
"I'm just saying sweetie…I mean how do you think I got your father up." Perversely, Mitsuki snickers smirking smugly bringing a wave of dread to Katsumi while Hawks snickers slightly just as they hear the shy squeak of a meek Masura falling flat to the ground from his wife's words.
"MA!" Mad, Katsumi snaps shouting at her mother mad fury flowing through her feeling the ruby red tint to her burning blistering crimson cheeks.
"It's natural sweetie you got to be lax when you do it have fun and you're at that age it's perfectly natural." Teasingly, Mitsuki winks at the two dismissing the two as Katsumi simply stares horrified, her features paling while Hawks smiles sheepishly shyly, a faint ruby red tint to his cheeks.
"NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!" Kasumi snaps sharply scowling shaking her head at them. She jolts up hands up in the air.
"Where are you going?" Mitsuki furrows her brow at her daughter making a beeline for the stairs.
"Going to see my brother!" Katsumi snaps scowling oblivious to the strained smile of Hawks simply watching the fire fester as she storms up the stairs.
"Honestly that girl…she gets that frigidness from you I hope you know." Mitsuki huffs her hands to her hips as she turns towards Masura squeaking slightly from the sudden spotlight heavily hanging over him. Hawks simply sighs a part of him unable to not pity the supposed man of the Bakugo household…
"Katsuki mind if I come in?" Katsumi sighs as she gently knocks on the door waiting patiently.
"The fuck you doing here?" The door slams open revealing a pair of ruby red glaring, glowering.
"Heard about the USJ incident thought I come check on ya." Casually, Katsumi walks into the room once Katsuki steps aside allowing her inside.
"Well you see me I'm alive." Katsuki huffs plopping himself down on his bed.
"Katsuki are you sure you're okay?" Gently, Katsumi argues as she takes a seat on the seat before his desk.
"I'm fine I'm breathing ain't I?" Incensed, Katsuki huffs grumbling under his breath bitterly.
"Just because your breathing doesn't mean you're okay." Sternly, she reminds her brother.
"Look I'm fine I am." Annoyed, Katsuki snaps scowling at her.
"…Right." Katsumi stands sighing knowing well she won't be getting answers out of him not when he was like this, she knew forcing them wouldn't help either it'd only add fuel to the fierce flame that was her little brother.
"Kat." Katsuki calls out just as she was about to leave the room.
"Hm?" Humming, Katsumi turns her head back to her brother head down on the bed, a grim grave look upon his facial features.
"Thanks…for coming to check on me I mean." Katsuki sighs shakily glaring down at the ground below.
"Of course you're my brother dumbass you may be a pain in the ass but you're my pain in the ass." Katsumi smiles softly at her baby brother walking over to ruffle his hair making him huff, lightly batting the hand aside as he glares to the side scowling.
"I want to get stronger." Seriously, Katsuki tells her.
"Huh?" Katsumi blurts out.
"The sports festival is soon." Sighing, he claps his hands together staring at the entwined hands.
"…Oh yeah it is." Katsumi's ruby reds widen when recalling that event just round the corner.
"I want to win back at USJ if it wasn't for string girl I may not be here." Huffing, Katsuki reveals rage pumping through his veins.
"String girl?" Befuddled, Bombarda quirks her head to the side.
"I need to stand on my own, I was nothing but a burden for Aizawa and All Might dammit I don't wanna be a burden." Seething Katsuki swiftly slams his fist down on the bed, his teeth gritted grinding together making Katsumi's facial features soften slightly.
"…What are you suggesting then?" Tentatively, she asks patience pouring out of her.
"You mentioned before about helping me get stronger." Katsuki reminds her.
"Right… but are you willing to listen?" Katsumi nods her head recalling it before turning to him her features firm.
"…I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get stronger." Seriously, he tells her looking up at her raw red glaring glistening into a pair of surprised cheery crimson.
"…Alright I'll talk to ma and dad about you spending the weekend over at mine or something maybe after school sessions." Sighing, Katsumi agrees nodding her head as she once again turns towards the door.
"…Kat." Katsuki calls out to her.
"Hm?" She turns back to him once more.
"Thanks." Katsuki whispers bowing his head.
"Don't mention it." Katsumi smiles softly down at her little brother placing her hand on his head ruffling up his blonde locks, assuring him all is well as both brother and sister continue chatting…
"Ooh and this is when Katsuki nearly blowed her entire classroom from a spider scurrying about." Animatedly, Mitsuki proclaims proudly perplexing Katsumi slowly descending down from the staircase brow furrowing from the sight of her mother and father either side of Hawks a book in hand, where Mitsuki points towards the picture with a younger Katsumi soot all over her stunned facial features.
"Katsumi you never told me you had a thing against spiders!" Smiling, Hawks happily greets the girl.
"…What are you doing?" Katsumi furrows her brow at the three beofre her.
"Just looking back for old times sake." Smiling, Mitsuki smirks smugly at her.
"You sick sadistic-" Katsumi's ruby reds narrow at Mitsuki.
"And here's the time Katsuki punched her nursey bud in the face." Mitsuki loudly declares gesturing to another picture of her.
"Ah yes I remember right we had to take her out." Masura joins in smiling softly.
"How come?" Confused, Hawks raises a brow befuddled.
"It was a stupid argument turns out the kid had been biting people his quirk had come in and it had something to do with fangs so he kept biting people well our Katsumi wasn't haven't any of that. She punched him in the face!"" Merrily, Mitsuki proclaims proudly fist pumping the open air.
"Had to get her out of that one after that." Tiredly, Masura sighs sadly at the memory.
"Didn't think of you as a delinquent Katsumi." Hawks winks at the furrowed frown of Katsumi internally screaming, shouting, screeching.
"Oh shove off." Katsumi grumbles cradling her head having none of it.
"Oh this is one of my favourites it was when a child actor was meant to model a new line of clothing in Fukuoka. It was her debut I believe." Merrily, Masaru brings up beaming brightly. Hawks furrows his brow by the photo of a younger Katsumi.
"Shame she doesn't model more." Hawks hints.
"We're not talking about this." Tiredly, Katsumi grumbles glowering at the ground below.
"He isn't wrong sweetie if you are as anxious as you are about your arm we can use different angles to hide it love." Mitsuki points out.
"Who said I was anxious?!" Angrily, Katsumi snaps sharply scowling.
"Fukuoka…" Hawks whispers furrowing his brow.
"Is something wrong?" Masura furrows his brow looking towards the furrowed frown of Hawks.
"N-Nothing don't suppose you have any of her in a dress?" Hawks smiles strained quickly changing topic as Katsumi furrows her brow, her ruby reds narrowing at him from the brief pause.
"I think we did do one with her as a bridesmaid." Mitsuki smiles softly turning a page or so as Katsumi notes a fair few model like shots of both Katsumi and Katsuki modelling together wearing the same sort of clothing, matching.
"Urgh…" Katsumi groans under her breath.
"Oh come on Kat you look adorable." Hawks argues amused almost at her sharp scowl.
"It's a shame always the bridesmaid but never the bride so I thought." Teasingly, Mitsuki wiggles a brow earning a sharp scowl from Katsumi glaring glowering at her mother.
"Heh." Hawks smiles strained when noting Mitsuki's small wink sent his way.
"So question you thought of any names?" Mitsuki wiggles a brow bemused.
"MA!" Mad, Katsumi snaps sharply scowling at her mother.
"What? Just asking? How many kids you thinking of having?" Unapologetic, Mitsuki queries.
"I swear to fucking god woman I will throw myself out of that window!" Enraged, Katsumi snaps sharply scowling.
"Heh thinking a bit far there aren't we?" Hawks smiles strained.
"Well I never thought the day would come my Katsumi would settle so I'm taking what I can." Bluntly, Mitsuki answers.
"What's that suppose to mean!?" Mystifed, Katsumi demands.
"W-Well…" Mitsuki begins but…
"Oh Mitsuki look remember this." Masura points to another photo.
"The fuck you lot staring at?!" Angrily, Katsuki hollers as he comes stomping down, noting the group as he too joins their side peering over to see a picture of both brow furrowing kids wearing matching sweaters with K on each one looking uncomfortable.
"Just some old memories." Masura smiles shyly.
"Bakugo back with us I see don't suppose I could hear about this attack could I?" Hopeful, Hawks asks making Katsumi scowl at him.
"Go to hell. I told you lot about the nomu's that's all you need." Katsuki glares down at Hawks.
"Aw com-" Hawks tries to press but…
"Hawks." Curtly, Katsumi calls out taking Hawks aback by her sharp snap scowling down at him making him sigh.
"…Aww I love the sweaters." Smiling, Hawks beams brightly at the clearly uncomfortable children in a T Pose of some sort.
"Oh come on you two look so cute they did a fair few shoots together two you'd be surprised how many fashion agency want twins." Mitsuki points out.
"We ain't twins!" Together, both Katsumi and Katsuki snaps scowling.
"I remember when we told Katsuki about Santa he gave up his main present for her." Masura recalls fondly.
"Oh yeah why was that?" Hawks asks.
"I thought she was on Santa's naughty list." Grumpily, Katsuki huffs under his breath bitterly glaring at the ground.
"Why?" Hawks arches a brow baffled.
"Because she cheated!" Katsuki snaps sharply scowling, glaring glowering into a pair of equally as fiery flaming reds.
"This again really?" Exasperated, Katsumi snaps sharply scowling at Katsuki.
"You did!" Katsuki argues annoyed.
"Did not!" Katsumi barks back.
"You fucking did!" Katsuki curses yelling at her.
"I fucking didn't!" Katsumi screeches shouting at him.
"You wanna go!?" Katsuki stretches his arm out.
"You wanna die!?" Katsumi stands her ground.
"Um…mind filling me in here?" Hawks asks unsure.
"Oh right they decided to hide and seek and Katsuki started crying…" Mitsuki begins but…
"I wasn't fucking crying!" Enraged, Katsuki disputes.
"You were!" Mitsuki roars.
"Were not!" Bakugo yells.
"Were too!" Mitsuki screeches.
"Were not!" Bakugo bellows.
"Were fucking too! You even had a hissy fit!" Mitsuki finishes.
"You wanna die!?" Bakugo bellows.
"Try it see how far you get!" Mitsuki roars back at her son.
"Wait…where were you hidden?" Hawks turns to Katsumi simply sighing at the mess that was her mother and brother yelling.
"In the cabinet not even my folks found me." Smugly, Katsumi proclaims pride oozing out of her.
"We thought she actually did run away to Midoriya's or something." Masura joins in.
"We had the whole neighbourhood looking for this little shit." Smirking, Mitsuki whacks Katsumi at the back of her head making her hiss, giving her mother the stink eye but said woman doesn't even bat an eye to it.
"And you had no idea?" Stunned, Hawks chuckles turning to Kat.
"Nah." Katsumi rubs the back of her head.
"How did you stay in there for so long?" Walnuts asks her.
"Walnuts." Simply, Katsumi shrugs.
"And you never had a sip…?" Smirking, Hawks wiggles a brow a glint gleaming in his glistening gold.
"I had to drink something." Katsumi agues.
"That was eight years old." Masura sighs sadly bowing his head.
"Imagine our surprise to find out this little shit was wasted and in the liquor cabinet." Cackling, Mitsuki laughs beaming brightly.
"I won that's all that matters." Katsumi declares determined.
"You were quite the nuisance as a kid weren't ya?" Hawks snickers smirking.
"Shove off." Katsumi grumbles.
"Where you going?" Mitsuki calls out raising a brow by her daughter heading to the door.
"Home." Katsumi deadpans heading to the door.
"Already?" Masura raises a brow.
"Look ma I got a lot of work to do so does Hawks." Tiredly, Katsumi sighs turning towards Hawks.
"It was nice meeting you again Mr and Mrs Bakugo." Hawks stands up joining her side.
"Same here Hawks." Mitsuki tells him.
"You're welcome here anytime." Masaru agrees.
"Heh thanks." Hawks smiles shyly.
"Oi Kat?" Katsuki calls out to her.
"Hm?" Kat turns to her baby brother.
"You better keep your word got it?!" Katsuki calls out to her hands shoved in his pocket.
"Yeah we're still on so long as you tell ma and dad." She reminds him.
"Tell us what?" Masura furrows his brow but it falls to deaf ears.
"Later." Katsuki tells him.
"Take care of yourself sweetie." Smiling, Mitsuki tells her.
"I always do." Katsumi smirks slightly.
"Make sure my little shit of a daughter doesn't do anything too stupid Hawks." Mitsuki turns towards Hawks.
"You got it Ms B." Hawks winks at her.
"Alright see you guys." Katsumi waves off her parents as the two leave the Bakugo household, heading home…
"What was that about?" Curious, Hawks ponders out loud as he places his hands behind his head curiously clear on his fascinated face as he and Bombarda leave the household heading to the car.
"Like I said you'll see." Sighing, Kasumi mutters under her breath brow furrowed it wasn't set yet but if it really was happening, she had a lot to put in order to give her time to set it all up to organise it all.
"Cooome on tell me." Whining, Hawks grumbles draping his arms over her.
"No." Sternly, she snaps scowling at him.
"Teeeeelll meeee." Childishly, Hawks draws out pulling his body back trying to act as if he were some weight pulling her back.
"No." Scowling, she easily handles his weight.
"Teeeeeelll meee." Hawk' fiery feather wings drape over her frail he nuzzles into her side into the crook of her neck.
"No." Seriously, she feebly tries to get him off but easily gives up.
"Teeel…" Hawks pokes her cheek.
"One more and I'll rip your fucking finger off." Furiously, she sharply snaps at him bring her feral fangs almost warningly at Hawks who hues soon swiftly shift slitted.
"Me." Hawks prods her cheek only then to squeak back by the sharp slam of teeth.
"OW!" Hawks reels his finger back turning to gawk gape at the glaring glowering brunette before him.
"Told ya I'd do it." Unapologetic, she opens the car door entering the driver's seat.
"Are you mad at me?" Meekly, Hawks huffs softly sliding into the front seat by her side.
"Hawks I would appreciate you not trying to use my family just to sate your curiosity." Curtly, Katsumi remarks as she drives the two home.
"You can't tell me these nomu's don't interest you." Hawks huffs pouting, puffing his cheeks childishly.
"Yes but I rather you not speak of those beasts in front of my parents they worry enough as it is." Irritated, Katsumi sighs sadly at him.
"…I suppose." Sighing, Hawks considers slumping his shoulders pouting.
"You suppose?" Scowling, Katsumi arches a brow.
"I was just trying to work with Katsuki." Hawks huffs crossing his arms over his chest.
"What do you mean?" Mystified, Katsumi arches a brow befuddled.
"Your brother is very much someone who likes upfront people so I thought if I were direct with him I'd get more information guess that went down the drain." Dutifully, Hawks explains to Katsumi before huffing, pouting once more.
"You… okay?" Katsumi furrows her brow by the rather analyst perspective presented from Hawks taken aback to hear such cold curt words from such a chatterbox before her, a part of her alarmed when noting the slight pain in his hues.
"Yeah just…it's nice." Shyly, Hawks whistles nuzzling into the plump pillow of the seat behind his head.
"What is?" Katsumi raises a brow befuddled.
"Family." Hawks says shyly smiling sadly.
"Keigo…" Gently, Katsumi whispers concern clear on her furrowed features.
"I mean sure your family may not seem the norm but it's…it's nice the air I mean it's…warm." Struggling, Hawks tries to find the right words making her sigh she feels her fingertips flex around the wheel from her words, feeling the sharp sting of guilt she didn't know much of Hawks situation and that was okay, he didn't owe her anything but from the snippets she got from Hawks….
"You…you okay?" Gently, she whispers concern clear in her tentative tone looking over at him.
"Yeah I'm fine to be honest I think I'm a bit jealous." Honestly, Hawks confesses.
"You were way too upfront with that." Katsumi sweatdrops at the boy besides her.
"Just saying you shouldn't take your folks for granted." Hawks sighs.
"Welp I think that's the kindest thing someone's said about my folks." Frankly, Katsumi confesses to him.
"Heh maybe I should ask Mrs B for some matching jumpers for us." Cheekily, Hawks winks while Katsumi simply scowls at him at the nickname.
"Get any and you'll die." Scowling, she raises her hand, teeny tiny explosions emitting from the tips of her fingertips.
"Oh come on you were cute as a baby." Boastfully, Hawks argues arrogantly even.
"Shove off." She scowls at him trying to focus on the road ahead.
"I mean it. You were cute." Happily, Hawks leans into the plush pillow of his palm, staring softly at her.
"All kids are to people, like you." Katsumi points out alerting Hawks.
"You calling me cute?" Coyly, Hawks wiggles a brow bemused by the firm frown upon Katsumi's facial features.
"Once before the man beard came in." Teasingly, she uses her hand to gently grab his face squeezing his cheeks. Happily, he smiles at her, happy to feel her hand on him.
"Hey stubble is styling." Smugly, he leans back, boasting.
"Oh I'm sure." She rolls her eyes exasperated before changing gear.
"You like it really I've seen the way you nuzzle into my cheek sometimes!" Smugly, in a sing-song tone Hawks chants making her ruby red twitch.
"Urgh stop making it weird." Uncomfortable, she grumble her grip tightening around the wheel.
"I don't know seems to me you're on Santa's naughty list." Teasingly, Hawks remarks.
"It's summer." Sternly, she snaps at him.
"Guess that means you got time to atone." Arrogantly, Hawks proclaims.
"Guess it means you got time to actually grow a brain." Bluntly, Katsumi deadpans ignoring the lingering searing sensation throbbing in her tense temple, hating every single second of it.
"Just saying how it is." Hawks smirks at her unapologetically.
"You mean changing topic." Tiredly, she huffs.
"Don't know what you mean dove." Dubiously, he winks at her.
"You're lucky I'm too hungover to deal with this." Tiredly, she sighs scowling at another sharp sting to her temple just as she arrives at the parking lot for the apartment complex.
"That I am dove that I am." Hawks smirks watching her give her ID as she is allowed access as she then parks for the two to exit the car happy to return home.
"So guys welcome back to the podcast here we have Kat back in our midst welcome back boss." Beaming, Kane winks at Katsumi simply sipping her mug of coffee calmly sat by Haneul's side.
"Kane good to see the agency doesn't smell of bleach anymore." Katsumi acknowledges the beaming boy by her other side smiling.
"Hey not our fault you're always going out for cigarette." Cheekily, Kane counters chuckling under his breath.
"I didn't why would I even smoke with my quirk?" Lost, Katsumi furrows her brow at him.
"Just ignore him." Haneul sighs waving Kane off exhaustion etched into her tired tone.
"Riiight…" Katsumi draws out her hues narrowing at the two beofre her.
"So we hear you went to Osaka." Smiling, Kane changes the topic.
"Yep." Katsumi confirms.
"How was it?" Haneul asks her.
"It was fine." Flippantly, she shrugs.
"Just fine?" Flirtatiously, Kane leans in purring almost as Katsumi furrows her brow alarmed almost at the strange sound emitting from his lips.
"What else would it be?" Befuddled, Katsumi questions him.
"You do know what Osaka is known for right?" Kane lowers his icy shades raising a brow bemused by Bombarda's baffled reaction.
"It's food." Frowning, she offers shrugging her shoulders unsure.
"Well yeah but also it's love hotels one of which a certain fan saw you and a certain winged hero." Haughtily, Kane proclaims proudly.
"Kane!" Harshly, Haneul hisses at him.
"Oh for the…that was an Onsen." Katsumi clarifies.
"How is that any better?" Kane snickers smirking.
"Hawks was moaning about needing to get out of the house due to his injuries so I treated him to go to an Onsen that's all." Annoyed, Katsumi tells the two.
"Just moaning? While we were forced to work ourselves to the bone." Briskly, Kane huffs as Katsumi simply stares scowling at Kane while Haneul firmly frowns at him.
"…You mean Haneul." Katsumi corrects him.
"Hey I work just as hard." Huffing, Kane crosses his arms over his chest.
"On snoring or sleeping?" Snarkily, Katsumi asks.
"Sometimes I can do both." Boastfully, Kane corrects the two unamused girls.
"Are we talking about your weird snore rapping thing?" Tiredly, Haneul sighs.
"It is a gift that the world will soon embrace." Kane declares swiftly slamming his foot on the ground.
"The day the world embraces that the day pigs fly." Frowning, Katsumi remarks.
"Maybe when hawks flies?" Smirking, Kane leans down almost trying to challenge the bored Bombarda simply raising a brow bored by the sheer sight of her sidekick.
"…What is wrong with you?" Haneul scowls at him.
"I'm just joking." Kane raises his hands up in the air.
"Did you have any fun at the least?" Haneul sighs turning to Katsumi trying to change the topic.
"It was…interesting." Katsumi shrugs.
"Right well since that's out of the way let's talk about an old memory." Kane smirks.
"An old memory?" Mystified, Katsumi exclaims.
"So turns out that little cosplay escaped we did a while back made the rounds and now they want the whole story." Smiling, Kane reveals to Katsumi.
"Wait can we…can we talk about the story?" Conflicted, Katsumi questions.
"They won't stop might as well." Kane shrugs smirking.
"Alright then we had this kid in our high school whose kid went to our high school his name was Mr Sato and his son Jun and Mr Sato was an asshole you name it he bitched about it every single thing he had a go at someone for being a minute late and it was his first date. He shouted at a guy having an anxiety attack and well…let's just say there's a reason why he no longer teaches. So anyway, he and his wife decided to leave town which is something you should never do if you're an asshole. And Jun, oh my boy Jun thought to be liked he'll decide to throw a house party and everyone around town heard about it. And everyone around the school heard about it and it like some hivemind shit because everyone just decided okay, let's go over there and…destroy the place." Katsumi explains the story clasping her hands together.
"It was a costume party, I insisted on Kat and me going the full change." Kane clarifies for the audience of sorts.
"You agreed to it?" Haneul blinks baffled.
"Hey he bought the gear he was fully into it how could I say no to that face?" Frowning, Katsumi gestures towards the puppy dog face of Kane sparkles shimmering making Haneul scowl at the sight.
"I am loveable." Kane winks mischievously.
"You're a buffoon." Blushing, Haneul huffs turning to glare to the side.
"Anyway as I was saying when we got to the party after sneaking out as you do everyone was there and drinking like they had been walking through a desert for days on end as if the world was ending. No one was around and I walk down Kane however thinks it'll be fun to fucking slide down guess what happened?" Katsumi gestures to the giddy man-child by her side.
"He falls off?" Haneul assumes.
"He breaks it." Katsumi corrects her.
"He does what?" Haneul gawks gaping at the news.
"I fucking break it!" Cackling, Kane raises his hands up almost proud at the feat.
"He gets so tipsy he manages to wedge his head in between the staircase so of course I do what any responsible friend would do." Katsumi nods her head.
"Get some butter to free him?" Haneul offers.
"Leave him." Katsumi answers.
"You did what!?" Haneul scowls.
"Yeah but hey if she hadn't I wouldn't have met…" Merrily, Kane begins but trails off from Haneul's warning glare.
"Okay I came back with drinks then next thing I knew I was using my quirk to break open the staircase for him as next thing he knew this fucker steals my drink downs it in one and then charges at the pool table!" Quickly, she counters when noting Haneul's furrowed frown.
"How much of a lightweight are you?" Haneul furrows her brow at Kane.
"It was the adrenaline Mr Sato had me berthing down my neck for years, years I tell you! And it hurt, hurt like a bitch…but that's not the best part tell them." Truthfully, Kane tries to defend himself.
"No?" Haneul exclaims.
"Go on…" Kane elbows Katsumi's side.
"This can't get any worse…" Haneul argue anxiously.
"Well…" Katsumi grimaces glancing to the side.
"No…" Haneul sinks into her seat scared almost at the prospect.
"So I'm drinking a tad bit too much you know when you're phasing in and out of it? Anyway, next thing I knew someone came up to me sprouting something about police and something just triggers, in a weird moment of word association I yelled FUCK DA POLICE! FUCK DA POLICE!" Katsumi reveals making Haneul nearly drop from her seat.
"You did what!?" Haneul gawks.
"But that's not the best part." Snickering, Kane smirks.
"Oh god…" Haneul places her head in her hands.
"Everyone joined in." Katsumi answers.
"No…" Haneul whispers.
"Yes." Kane smirks.
"And so a hundred drunk students shouted fuck da police!" Katsumi confirms.
"It was beautiful…" Blissfully, Kane smiles softly at the memory.
"That sounds horrifying." Haneul whispers.
"The best bit is it was said with the most and I mean the most confidence you'd ever find like the sort you'd get if you had already been to jail and weren't afraid of it anymore. Funny thing is the police did come because the police were outside all along and a police officer walks down to the basement and looks out over a sea of drunk toddlers yelling fuck the police in his face. And he was almost impressed like wow then he leaned into his walkie talkie and went get the paddy wagon." Katsumi smirks as she explains.
"What happened then?" Haneul ponders.
"This is my favourite part!" Excited, Kane rubs his hands together.
"So I grab hold of this wine bottle from this friend of mine, said he found it in this war cellar. Anyway I was sort of talking to then slam it down and shout scatter then we all ran. Kane and I found each other, had to pry this guy off another guy as we leapt out of a window." Katsumi says.
"You did what?" Haneul screeches slightly.
"Don't worry we broke it before we went through it." Kane assures her.
"Why didn't you open it?" Haneul scowls.
"…" Quietly both pros and grown adults share a look.
"We were drunk okay? Anyway we come across this chain link fence dumbass here thought he could climb it but ended up dangling down on the other side." Defensively, Kane whines.
"And you?" Haneul turns to scowl at Katsumi.
"Oh I fled from there." Casually, Katsumi answers.
"So you left Kane to hang." Haneul crosses her arms over her chest unimpressed.
"He didn't die besides he was making this long dramatic speech about leaving him."
"I did titanic style." Smugly, Kane says in a sing song tone.
"And so I left snuck into my room and went to bed. The best bit is when I went to school the next day as you do with a hangover." Katsumi adds.
"How did I not notice this?" Haneul queries baffled.
"I swear some Shiketsu students were there too." Kane swears.
"Maybe….? I mean it would explain the hat that was found on you then do you still have that?" Curious, Katsumi asks him.
"Damn right I do the girl I found was fine." Flirtatiously, Kane wiggles a brow bemused.
"…It was a guy." Katsumi argues.
"Still fine piece of-" Eagerly, Kane continues only to cry out as an explosion emits beofre his eyes causing him to fall back, to come crashing down to the ground below groaning.
"Anyway as I was saying I go into the school Sato's kid approaches and asks if I went to his party so of course I lie as you do. He says how someone broke the railing the pool table too but what's worst is that someone broke his deceased grandmother's favourite wine was going to drink it for her birthday or something. So…remember that glass my friend gsve me?" Katsumi continues her story smirking slightly.
"No…" Horrified, Haneul's hues dilate.
"Yeeeeaahhh…" Grimacing, Katsumi draws out.
"So what did you do?" Haneul asks.
"I lied like a liar." Katsumi smirks.
"Wait…why wasn't I invited?" Confused, Haneul furrows her brow as a still silence hangs heavily in the room.
"…" Kane squirms sweat sliding down his temple.
"…" Sighing, Katsumi opens her mouth about to answer only to be swiftly silenced by the swift slap of Kane's hand over her swiftly stopping her.
"This was the first year we weren't really…" Awkwardly, Kane attempts to explain after both Kane and Katsumi share a look of unease.
"Yes but surely Jun would have told me we were both representatives of our class together I mean we were friends. Not to mention surely as class representee I should have…" Haneul begins brow furrowed.
"Han…" Katsumi begins but…
"Did people hate me that much!?" Horrified, Haneul gawks gaping at the news.
"We wouldn't say hate it's just your nit-pickings in the morning." Katsumi attempts to hint however…
"I was simply looking out for my fellow classmates." Calmly, Haneul crosses her arms over her chest.
"…Yeah pointing out how that skirt is too short for dress code or to remove that earring is not actually going to win you friendship points." Sighing, Kane attempts to explain himself to her squirming, a heavy hue of ruby red upon his crimson cheeks.
"…Oh." Disillusioned, Haneul bows her head sadly.
"But hey there's always the next party." Perkily, Kane offers optimistically.
"I…I suppose." Sighing, Haneul considers bowing her head disappointment drenching her furrowed facial features making Kane and Katsumi share a look of uncertainty, not quite sure what to make of Haneul's reaction.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Seething, Katsumi scowls as she, Kane and Haneul chase after the sand golem, growling, gurling almost choking on the sandy shores chocked in its monstrous mouth almost like mouthwash swirling it about ready to spew it out. Katsumi, Kane and Haneul furrow their brow by the glistening gold sewing out of the sandy armour as it rains down, a fair few jewels escape from the heavy coat of sand, the three heroes chasing after the beast falter from the instrument thrown their way trying to stop them, trying to make them falter in their chase after the ground golem. Suddenly, a bright broad bag of money escapes from the moulting ground of the amour taking the three aback as the brown blur is thrown towards Kane crying out as he comes crashing down to the ground, groaning.
"Kane!" Haneul cries out concern clear in her tone as she rushes over to his side, trying to help him up however the bag pinning the body below provides some struggle. Katsumi scowls at the slow steps of the golem they chase after the heavy armour of ground slowing it down as Katsumi fed up turns towards the bag. Swiftly, she lunges forward, snatching hold of the bag, her fingertips flexing around the bag before tossing it at the creature creating a hole in its armour however said hole swiftly seals in on itself making the three curse.
"Thanks I dropped that!" Thankfully, the gritty golem cackles cockily much to her frustration. She could feel her blood boil as she tries to find some sense of distraction as she lunges forward towards the golem, said golem however when seeing the girl lunge at them grab hold of a nearby car tossing it at Katsumi who swiftly leaps over said car, continuing on her way towards the villain taking the villain aback as she jumps forward. Seething, she slams her teeth together, gritting, grinding her teeth together as she tries to hit the beast but the beast swiftly snatches her tossing her aside to the side. Scowling, she catches herself noting the stray pipe coiling her fingertips around the pipe rolling, spinning herself. She then goes again lunging at the beast trying to provide enough time for backup that she can.
"What's wrong heroes? I thought you lot knew what you were doing." Dubiously, the male made of sand sneers poison dripping down his opinion as Katsumi slams her fist only to be met by the sandy shield swiftly snuffing out as she is only met by soft smoke emitting from her palm alongside the heavy hit of sand thrown her way.
"Boss!" Haneul cries out concern clear in her tone as she rushes towards Katsumi, crimson current come gushing out of her busted nose. She brushes to the side scarlet smears to the side but she brushes the stain aside as she glares, glowering at the golem of sorts before them made entirely out of sand. She scowls at the sight of the villain; she furrows her brow when watching Soundspark swiftly agility avoids said strikes of sandy fists sent his way. Squeaking, Soundspark darts down to the ground as another car is grabbed and thrown his way which he skids under, swiftly dodging said object thrown his way only then to gasp as another car is thrown his way, how many cars were there in this street? Scowling, she watches as Soundspark releasing another burst of sound breaking said car being thrown backwards at the golem who grunts from the heavy hit to his armour.
"It seems to be some sort of armour, a gritty golden of sorts." Haneul describes stating the obvious to the clearly done looking Katsumi, her hues narrowing noting Soundspark opening his mouth releasing a sonic blast but said blast is to the surprise of the two absorbed as when said arm is stretched out towards him, goops of sand splatters down to the ground similar to oatmeal almost as it lies flat on the group goopy. But the hole exposed is swiftly covered up as the golem recovers, trying to flee.
"KANE!" Haneul screams when suddenly the golem stretches its arm out, snatching hold of Kane tossing him into the road below, panic pumps through her veins from the bloodied Soundspark, cracks soon forming upon his baby blue visor like shades. She rushes over to the lilac haired heroes side hearing his low groan as she kneels down, concern clear on her furrowed features looking over him as Katsumi scowls at the two behind her.
"Haneul!" Katsumi calls out to her. Her greens widen when hearing her cold curt command as she has a lightbulb like moment as she snaps out of her thoughts, nodding her head in understanding. She stands p, her grip tightening around the staff beofre her, a coal crisp staff swirling it between her fingertips twirling t about as the golem gasps when suddenly clods slowly slide into the open air as they darken. She closes her eyes focusing ignoring the sharp sting to her temple. Pellets pour down from the high heavens. Rain comes crashing down startling the golem gaping gawking at the sandy sheet of the golem melting away almost as the clumps of dirt soon forms fuses into his shoes, creating shackles almost sticking the figure to the groaning golem gritting his teeth together.
"Damn it!" Angrily, the golem curses falling forward as he hits the ground below groaning just as the sharp sound of sirens screech echoing in the air as backup finally arrives…
"Katsuki?" Katsumi raises a brow befuddled by the sheer sight of said blonde waiting outside her agency. Kane and Haneul raise a brow by the boy but don't question it.
"I'm here for my lesson." Katsuki tells Katsumi whose cheery crimson gaze down upon the ruffle bag, his workout gear no doubt as he stands before her in his casual gear.
"Right. Just follow me." Katsumi nods her head in understanding as Katsuki nods his head in agreement, following after her as both Bakugo's head inside ready to start training…
Loudly, the sirens blare as Hawks has his back turned to the villain being dragged into the paddy wagon cursing, shouting, screaming at the bored blonde simply shrugging it off. His sidekicks could take care of this, he reasons as he takes out his phone, his brow furrowing from the lack of response from a certain Bombi.
…Want me to pick up anything at the store? Sighing, Hawks types in hopeful for some sense of response but…finds no sense of response.
His gloved fingertips gently brush against the scene seeing a fair few bubbles between the two, a soft smile crosses his lips at an old one in particular where she was out at the shops and he stuck in their nest, watching a documentary about penguins.
Did you know that penguins give their significant others the prettiest rock they can find as a way to confess to them?
So capitalism exists in the penguin world.
What no!
By rock I thought you meant jewel.
Like the bracelet I got you.
You really should stop doing that.
Why?
Do you know how much money you're wasting?
It's not wasting if it's for you.
Hawks I'm kicking ass most of my time when would I have the time to even wear that sort of shit?
On a date?
…Hawks the day I go on a date is the day pigs fly. Now if you excuse me I got work to do.
Sighing, Hawks furrows his brow by her words ignoring the sharp sting to his chest, constricting the organ in his chest. Was it bad a part of him was tempted to find a random pig to have his feathers make it fly? It was possible but why did he get the feeling that if he did that in front of Katsumi she'd flip, probably go on a rant about not hurting himself. He sighs at the thought; she could be such a mother hen sometimes honestly…
Still…it was nice. Being fussed over like this as childish as it sounded he liked it, it wasn't like with fans, he knew her just as she knew him, she bloody knew his real name. a soft squirmy smile crosses his lips at the thought, a heavy hue of ruby red dusting his crimson cheeks as he sheepishly scratches his cheek at the thought. He still couldn't believe he told her, it felt like a dream almost and yet it happened, heh…he had never told anyone his name beofre but getting to despite his complex conflicted feelings towards the name felt relieving, felt as if a heavy weight had been thrown off him as if some sort of chain coiled around him had finally began to loosen…
Still…he furrows his brow by the bubbles beofre him, how stupid was she not to get the message? He means he's met fangirls who easily misinterpreted his actions some offering things he never thought he could see someone offer with such a straight face and yet here was a girl who had no clue what he was saying despite how blunt he was being. He was changing his tactics for her, he knew subtly should be thrown out the window for someone like Katsumi and yet even his bluntness hint had no effect on her, maybe Fatgum was really right about her being on blinkers…Hawks didn't know. Sure sometimes this oblivious side of Katsumi could be cute, endearing even but a selfish side of Hawks was annoyed by it sometimes, he wish she'd just understand hearing her say stuff like no one would go out with her hurt him, hurt him seeing her put herself down like that. If she only saw what he did…
Hawks sighs at the thought, his hand tightening around his phone at the thought before brushing it aside. No it would be selfish of him to put her into that position, she had been kind to him, kinder than most would expect from someone like her. Even after his messy meeting with her she still gave him a chance. Besides what would it even accomplish at the thought they were both pros they'd have to keep it private which sure they would but…Hawks furrows his brow by the lack of a response still…guess he should go over there, it's not too far. He Could get some food while he was out it, no doubt she hadn't eaten yet anyway. Hawks nods his head at his sidekicks dealing with the police while he heads off going to get some lunch….
"Can't believe Katsuki I've known that kid for years didn't even bat an eye to me." Miserably, Kane whines pouting puffing his cheeks out.
"At least he invited you to a party." Pointedly, Haneul huffs under her breath bitterly.
"What? He wouldn't do that, that'd be weird I mean I'm an uncle its like inviting your cool uncle to the party with kids no one wants that." Tense, Kane grimaces glancing to the side scowling.
"…You're the cool uncle?" Haneul wiggles a brow bored.
"Um have you seen these shades?" Scowling, Kane gestures to said shades proudly proclaim it leaning back against the seat.
"You mean your cracked ones." Haneul mutters.
"Are you still mad about the party?" Kane sighs his features faltering from her furrowed frown.
"…Was I really unlikeable back then?" Sighing, Haneul bows her head upset.
"You…you weren't unlikeable you just…that sort of party none of us thought you'd be interested in it. It didn't seem your scene like you'd look your nose down on it or something." Squirming, Kane tries to exclaim sweat slithering down his tense temple smiling strained.
"Was I that snobby?" Hurt, Haneul furrows her brow.
"…Welll…" Uncertain, Kane grimaces scratching the back of his neck feeling sweat slither down his tense temple trying to give some sense of answer without hurting her feelings however before they could, the ding of the elevator startles both of them as they turn towards…
"HEYO! " Happily, a familiar boisterous blonde sturts in smiling from ear to ear as he enters the agency.
"Oh Hawks hello." Politely, Haneul turns to the blonde.
"Hey Han." Hawks smiles at the sidekick softly placing something down on her desk.
"Oh green tea?" Haneul raises a brow by the drink unaware of the narrowed blues behind the cracked shades.
"I caught a villain and it was lunch so I thought I'd get something for Katsu and you guys. You seem like a green tea gal so here." Hawks winks mischievously at her.
"And me?" Kane questions scowling.
"Here." Hawks tosses some sofa over to him.
"Thanks." Scowling, Kane snatches said soda swiftly opening it.
"So where's the bossman?" Curious, Hawks asks the two.
"In the gym." Haneul shrugs.
"The gym?" Hawks blinks baffled as next he knew he was heading to the bottom of the bottom, below the ground floor of the agency heading to the gym.
"Focus!" Firmly, Katsumi snaps sharply scowling at Katsuki heaving huffing, sweat slithering sliding down his tense temple as she swiftly slams her knee into hi winded stomach salvia spurts out of his lips as she swiftly strikes him down, watching him falter, his knees buckling but the stubbornness swarming through him kicks in.
"Fuck…off." Katsuki scowls, slamming his hand flat on the ground, his hand spread out flat on the training ground below, sweat slithering down his tense temple, heaving, a small slick saliva descending down the corner of his lips. He cradles his head heaving wincing trying to use the moment to recover from being winded while Katsumi stands strong stoic, before her baby brother.
"I said focus your movements are too predictable. No wonder Izuku saw through you." Tiredly, Katsumi deadpans hand on her hip.
"SHUT UP!" Katsuki lunges forward furious reeling his fist back explosions emitting out of the tips of his fingertips only to gasp when she swiftly slams him into the ground below, salvia spewing out of his gawking mouth.
"See that. You normally start with your right which is normal it is your dominant hand however that just shows how predictable you. Without that sense of control your anger takes over you making you sloppy making your movement easy to predict." Unfazed, Katsumi looks down at her little brother.
"Tch." Katsumi curses clicking his tongue turning to glare to the side scowling.
"I see you two are having fun." Surprised, the two jolt up at the voice turning to the happy Hawks strolling strutting in.
"Oh you got to be…" Katsuki begins.
"Good to see you too Katsuki." Happily, Hawks greets the scowling blonde.
"DIE!" Bakugo screams at him.
"Like brother like sister." Smiling, Hawks chuckles amused.
"Katsuki. Go get some air." Aloofly, Katsumi tells him brow furrowing at Hawks.
"Tch…." Katsuki stands up sluggishly making his way out leaving the two alone.
"Isn't this cheating?" Coyly, Hawks wiggles a brow bemused.
"What?" Katsuki scowls at him.
"Preparing for your baby brother for the tournament." Teasingly, Hawks remarks.
"He asked me besides everyone's training." Tiredly, Katsumi argues annoyed almost at the accusation.
"Don't you think he has enough of an advantage with his connection to you and his quirk alone?" Hawks argues as the two sit down on the bench, Hawks taking out the napkin making a petite picnic for the two.
"That doesn't mean he can't learn to control his quirk more." Katsumi states sipping the drink offered to her.
"True." Hawks considers.
"My brother has a temper while I can control it." Katsumi states scowling staring ahead as she sees Katsuki bump into Kane, Kane having a one sided conversation with the clearly exhausted boy before draping his arm over the boy no doubt trying to get the boy to eat something from the furrowed frown of a clearly concerned Haneul.
"At times." Teasingly, Hawks remarks
"While I can control it. My brother can't. The head he has is a double-edged sword for the real world after the festival he is going to be under a work study of sorts. I want to make sure my brother has control under his quirk if he gets picked by anyone." Katsumi attempts to explain to Hawks.
"…You know you rather are paranoid." Hawks sighs leaning back.
"This is not paranoid this is me making sure my brother is ready for the real world." Resolved, Katsumi deadpans as he nibbles on the chicken.
"Kat I'm just teasing." Hawks sighs furrowing his brow at her, she could be so serious sometimes she needed to relax sometimes.
"Why are you even here?" Tiredly, Katsumi sighs she knew what he wanted he wanted answers, answers her brother would provide answers her brother may be uncomfortable to answer…
"You didn't respond to my text." Tentatively, Hawks argues as Katsumi couldn't help but furrow her brow by the lie.
"If this is about another animal thing…" Tiredly, she decided to play along hating this sense of playing chest with Hawks but for her brother's sake she would. He had been through enough with the slime incident and now this USJ attack she would do all she could to protect him even from Hawks…
"It's not I was going to ask what you want from the shop tonight but…" Hawks reveals a familiar bag for the two.
"Alright." Katsumi sighs maybe this could distract him for a bit.
"Wait what?" Hawks blinks baffled.
"I'm too tired to cook tonight think you can get it?" She sighs.
"The normal order." He assumes.
"Yeah. Thanks." Katsumi stands stretching ready for another round with her brother.
"No problem have fun, I'll see you tonight." Teasingly, he winks at her walking off heading to the door just as Katsumi returns, a sharp scowl on his face further frowning when Hawks brushes by him bidding him farewell only to receive a grunt in return.
"Don't give me that look…" Katsumi sighs scowling at her brother once the door slams shut leaving the two siblings alone.
"Why would I look at your ugly fucking mug!?" Mad, Katsuki snaps scowling.
"Yeah well jokes on you we both have the same ugly fucking mug!" Mischievously, Katsumi reminds him.
"The fuck is that meant to mean?!" Katsuki yells at her.
"You're fucking ugly!" Katsumi barks back.
"So are you! You're the queen of being fucking ugly!" Katsuki declares.
"Then you're the fucking king!" Katsumi screeches.
"You wanna die!?" Katsuki snarls seething.
"Do you wanna fucking die!?" She counters baring her feral fangs at him.
"DI-" Katsuki strikes with his leg about to go for a right punch again only to gasp when his foot is swiftly snatched as he is once again tossed to the ground, a hand firmly flat open to him.
"You'd be the one dead in this situation little brother." Icily, Katsumi reminds her baby brother shaking squirming beneath her.
"I ain't that fucking little…" Seething, Katsuki grits his teeth together trembling before her.
"Little brother says what?" Smirking, she swiftly slams her foot into his toros making him heave salvia spurts out of his mouth.
"Wh-POH FUCK YOU! " Katsuki snaps as he gasps as next thing he knew he was put into a hold of some sort crying out.
"Sorry what was that? Can't hear you over your bullshit!" Bellowing, Katsumi cackles sadistically smirking down at the mess that was her baby brother.
"Let me fucking go!" Katsuki yells.
"Say uncle!" Katsumi orders him.
"Fuck off! " Katsuki curses.
"Say uncle!" Katsuki repeats.
"Fuck off!" Katsuki curses again.
"Say uncle!" Katsuki commands him.
"…Fucking never!" Katsuki refuses resolved as next he knew he was screaming as Katsumi shouted…
"SAY UNCLE!"
Shouting, Soundspark releases bellow after bellow of soundwave destroying the sharp spikes of bright blue sent their way causing crystal of shimmering shining spears of ice be thrown into the wind with the sun shining shimmering down descend down upon the sharp shard. Said shards shimmer, shine glinting from the shimmering sunlight bright beam bouncing off the ice as said silent sparkles thrown into the air are soon swiftly guided away courtesy of the air current courtesy of Haneul focusing on damage control. Katsumi rushes up when seeing Soundspark squeak slightly, his voice hitching breaking briefly before his eyes. He cradles his throat wincing, his fingertips fidgeting around his throat, feeling the ghostly fingertips around his throat. His icy blue dilate horrified as another wave of ice is thrown his way courtesy of the villain cackling as said woman flees from the three of them, sliding upon the icy path created from the soles of her feet sliding, skating away from the three, bag of money in hand.
Soundspark tries to step forward only to wince whimpering when feeling the sore sensation in his tight throat. Worried, Haneul rushes over to Soundspark's side her hand flat on his back, trying to console him worried when seeing scarlet slowly slide from the corner of his lip. Katsumi nods her head at the two before brushing past them as she focuses on the villain trying to chase her down.
"Just give up already!" Angrily, the woman wails, she has long icy blue hair braided held together by bright broad bands of green matching her glaring green. The woman wears a purple catsuit swiftly skating through the icy path produced from the soles of her feet furiously sliding trying to flee from the bombastic Bombarda scowling, cursing as she tries to blast her way forward, to propel herself forward only then to falter from the swift slide of the ice. She slips cursing at her sluggish strikes. She furrows her brow by the ruby-red feathers flickering before her hues, feeling her crimson cherries dilate, feeling her blood turn ice cold, feeling her heart drop at the hero easily catching up to her.
"Need a hand?" Hawks hollers heckling slightly smirking smugly at the scowling Katsumi.
"Hawks wait!" Katsumi tries to call out to him brow furrowed concern clear in her voice.
"Bastard!" She seethes swiftly slamming her foot down as spikes spew out from the icy floor below which she sends at him, kicking the spears towards Hawks narrowly avoiding said projectiles only then for his hues to widen when suddenly a stray spark of ice nicks his wing making him hiss at the sudden shark spike of ice encasing his wing making him come crashing down.
"Hawks!" Urgently, Katsumi rushes over swiftly grabbing the blonde holding him bridal style.
"My hero." Hawks flutters his eyelashes at the furrowed frown of Bombarda bloodlust emitting out of her fuming state seething snarling scowling down at the blonde before her. Unamused, she swiftly drops him causing him to come crashing down to the floor below.
"Just die already!" Angrily, the villain screams screeching as she swiftly slams her heel to the ground below, shark spikes of ice spurting out from the ground below. Scowling, she furrows her brow as she turns back to the villain before her releasing a sharp spike of ice at her and Hawks scowling, she swiftly strikes at the open air, smoke spews into the open air as the glass shards shatter right before both their eyes as Katsumi seethes, screaming snarling roaring raising her fist, furiously releasing it back before unleashing fist after fist, explosion after explosion startling stunning the villain gasping when smoke soon consumes the villains. Heaving, the villainess gasps, her hand darting towards her throat, her fingertips coiling around her throat as she tries to spit said smoke out of her unaware of a pair of bloodied bloodthirsty raw reds peering in from the dark depths of smoke. She lunges forward furiously revealing herself through the thick smokescreen startling the villainess screaming when next she knew all she was black before descending down into the dark depths of her unconscious…
"Why is it so cold in here?" Hawks questions his teeth girt grinding together chatting. He clings to Katsumi's side, holding her bridal style. She sighs as she gently places him down into the water below brow furrowed at his frigid feathers seeing the ice encasing one of his wings twitching.
"Probably because you were nearly turned into a popsicle." Katsumi gets out a jug gently guiding Hawks back down as she pours the water over the ice trying to be gentle grimacing at the bruises of a still healing back, watching shy streaks of steam slowly fade into the opne air hearing Hawks hiss lowly under his breath brow furrowing.
"Heh guess we were close to see if a chicken flavoured icicle would be formed." Feebly, Hawks smiles strained as he resides in the bath, steam spewing out of the baby blue waters wearing his trunks of sorts shaking, quivering quaking.
"Hawks we were talking about slushies…I mean… what were you thinking!? We had that handled." Scowling, she furrows her brow at Hawks gently placing his head to her shoulder.
"Oh I'm sure." Dryly, he remarks.
"I could drown you." Scowling, she glares down at him nuzzling into the crook of her neck.
"But you won't cause you like me." Mischievously, Hawks smirks smugly gently nestling into her side.
"Honestly if I didn't know I'd say this was an elaborate ploy to get more cuddles." Katsumi mutters as she gets out the shampoo making him smile.
"…Did it work?" Cheekily, Hawks smirks smugly.
"What do you think?" Tensely, Katsumi grumbles under her breath focusing on washing his hair.
"Well you are doing my hair so…" Smirking, Hawks begins but…
"Hawks…" Warningly, Katsumi snaps scowling down at him.
"It's a joke! I was trying to do my job." Hawks assures her.
"…Clearly." Dryly, she huffs as she then looks towards his feathers while he drinks his hair.
"...Am I really that transparent?" Teasingly, he wiggles a brow bemused before smiling softly enjoying her fingertips tending to his wings no words needing to be shed between both of them as she continues tending to his side.
Quietly, Katsumi stands before the mirror in the bathroom, closing the cabinet with the bottle inside as she then gets out her electric toothbrush and toothpaste. She begins brushing her teeth furrowing her brow when noting her disheveled brown roots all over the place, nuzzling into the furry fluffy confines of the jacket draped over her that had been casted to the floor prior. She couldn't help but wear it, it was warmth and comfy not to mention the pockets…
"You know if you like my jacket so much maybe I should ask for another for you." Surprised, Katsumi jolts up at the hand draped over her feeling a familiar rough stubble nuzzle nestle into the crook of her neck making her lean into the touch.
"Do you know how many your pockets your jacket has?" Fairly, Katsumi argues a part of her envious over the numerous pockets each one even as small as it were deeper than the pockets she was given for her daily attire, she remembered her first costume design her priority was pockets.
"That's what you love about it?" Amused, Hawks chuckles coyly a small smirk upon his lips as he nuzzles into her side even more, his grip tightening around her as his wings tower over the two.
"I don't think you realize how shitty female trouser pockets are also it's comfy." Grumpily, she huffs leaning into Hawks briefly before bowing her head spitting said toothpaste out of the sink, the wash washing away at the foam substance courtesy of the tap pouring waterfalls down the sink.
"Aww you're cute." Cheekily, Hawks winks as he wears his causal gear nuzzling into her side even more.
"Piss off." Katsumi grumbles glaring to the side.
"Heh…cuuuute." Chuckling, Hawks snickers endearingly his grip tightening around her.
"Stooop." Scowling, Katsumi whines drawing it out rolling her eyes exasperated.
"Come on let's lay down and relllaaax." Hawks argues gently trying to drag her out.
"I can't. I got work." Sternly, she reminds him washing her face.
"Whaaa…" Hawks huffs furrowing his brow at her.
"Like I said I got work." She sighs.
"You'll be back soon right?" Hopeful, he asks.
"I'll be back when I'm back." Aloofly, she brushes him off.
"Kat." Hawks begins but…
"Look Hawks it would be best for you to get food for yourself tonight." Tiredly, Katsumi sighs at him.
"Why?" Hawks asks.
"I got videos to do with Kane not to mention editing with Han as well. I got a lot to catch up on." Tiredly, Katsumi sighs.
"Come on don't you think you deserve a break?" Hawks argues annoyed a bit.
"The Onsen was a break." Briskly, she shrugs it off.
"A break you used to work." Scowling, Hawks removes himself from her, crossing his arms over his chest taking a step back.
"Hawks…" Katsumi places her hand on the rim of the sink turning to furrow her brow at him.
"I'm just saying live a little all those breaks you took were to care for someone else never yourself." Hawks sighs tossing the towel over to her.
"Hawks…don't." Drained, she groans, cleaning her face.
"That's all I'm saying." Hawks shrugs.
"And all I'm saying is enjoy yourself I got work to do." Dutifully, Katsumi remarks shrugging Hawks hand off her brushing bird boy off as she leaves her home, heading to work….
Quietly, Katsuki sits down upon the bench softy sipping the bottled water while her younger brother Bakugo takes huge heavy gulps of his own drinks, sweat slithers slides down his tense temple, his brow furrowed heaving, huffing, trying to catch his breath. Patches of dampness drenches his form as he tries to catch his breath.
"I…I want to make a special move." Seriously, Katsuki breaks the still silence that hung heavily in the air as Katsumi feels her throat tighten up briefly by her baby brother's declaration. Instinct take over as next she knew baby blue spurt out of her mouth staining the floor below her as she coughs, her throat hoarse feeling the sharp sting to her throat tensing up. She bows her head, placing her hand over her throat, massaging it trying to find some sense of composure from his request.
"Eh?" She turns to her brother blurting out her supposed answer lost, not quite sure what to say in response.
"You heard me." Mad, Katsuki huffs brow furrowed fury flowing through his veins.
"Katsuki you're a first year I don't think you're meant to make one yet." Gently, Katsumi hints brow furrowed she knew her brother wanted to be ahead. But she didn't know if she could legally at the least she couldn't she was no teacher they had a schedule when it came to dealing with Katsuki and his classmates, she didn't just want to ruin anything not to mention making a super move was not easy…
"I want to, I need to win and this move will do that." Sternly, Katsuki states the fact firmly to his sister.
"Or it could cost you the festival." Frowning, Katsumi argues as she eyes his arms, she didn't like the idea it could cause a tear and have him be left behind a whole lot more.
"…That's a risk I'm willing to take." Katsuki states the fact firmly.
"Alright let me hear it what's this special move of yours?" Katsumi sighs deciding to entertain the thought.
"Howitzer Impact." He reveals.
"Howitzer Impact?" She furrows her brow by the name.
"You fucking heard me." Mad, Katsuki snaps scowling a hint of defensiveness drenched in his tense tone.
"Have you performed this move?" Tiredly, Katsumi furrows her brow at her little brother.
"Not yet." Katsuki answers not helping assure Katsumi at all.
"And you think you can just do it?" Warily, Katsumi crosses her arms over her chest not liking it one bit.
"I have it in my head but doing it…" Katsuki sighs scowling glaring, glowering down at his fidgeting fingertips frustrated, explosions emerging out of the tips of his fingertips, gritting grinding his teeth together once more frustration flowing through his veins at it, hating every single aspect of this helplessness.
"You can't exactly practice a move like that in the garden." Katsumi sighs tiredly.
"No…" Katsuki nods his head in agreement.
"I'll set something up." Katsumi sighs standing up.
"Eh?" Katsuki blurts out.
"You seem proud of this move besides I know someone who can fix the room if it gets demolished." Katsumi tells her brother.
"You're shitting me." Katsuki exclaims slowly standing up staring at her back turned to him.
"Nope. But on one condition." Curtly, she states sternly raising her forefinger to the high heavens, turning her head to stare at him.
"What?" Ruby red narrow glaring into a pair of strict scarlet.
"You can't show it to the others when you're training with the others don't show them your full potential if you do those guys will see what you're capable of and may prepare to counteract it." Seriously, she tells her brother hopeful for him to take her advice.
"You serious?" Scowling, Katsuki furrows his brow from her words.
"Yep. Don't show off." Sternly, she orders him.
"…Why are you smiling?" Scowling, Katsuki demands from his sister.
"Guess I'm relieved to see you're finally taking things seriously…puts my mind at ease. I guess that USJ incident really did put things into perspective for you." Softly, Katsumi smiles softly placing her hand on his shoulder squeezing his shoulder, her cold crimson softening slightly as they gaze into a pair of raw red.
"I need to be stronger." Seriously, Katsuki bows his head brow furrowing staring down at the ground below. He barely had enough time he needed to be stronger, he had to be, especially now with the festival with the people she's met he refused to let her down…he would…
"And you will all good things take time Katsuki." Tentatively, she tries to explain to him unaware of his raw reds narrowing.
"But when? I want to get there now!" Impatiently, Katsuki yells at her making her sigh once more when he suddenly lunges at her
"Then let me give you some advice…." Katsumi begins unfazed by his hand blasting her in the face trying to create a smokescreen propelling himself over her about to blast at her back only then to squeak from her sharp slick movement swiftly grabbing him by his ankle taking him aback as he is swiftly tossed to the side like some sort of ragdoll.
"The stronger the quirk the more imprecise the attacks!" Angrily, Katsuki yells once again slamming his back to the floor making him heave, salvia spurting out of his mouth taking him aback by another sharp slam to the ground and had firmly planted on his head, ruby red glare into a similar shade to her own.
"Which is why we must control these quirks. Your explosions may be strong. But such a blast can affect not only the villain but the civilians the people watching us, the people we are to keep safe, the people relying on us due to that. No matter how powerful our quirk is we must restrain ourselves, we must protect others not just from the villas but ourselves Katsuki." Sternly, she explains to Katsuki.
"…" Katsuki seethes shaking beneath his sister's touch only then to go lax when feeling it soften, feeling her fingertips comb through his hair making him sigh.
"I understand your need of getting to the top Katsuki do but to push yourself to such limits will break you. You are human just as I am just as All Might is you may seem him upon this pedestal but here is human just like the rest of us are." Gently, she whispers unaware of his glistening glaring ruby red scowling at the ceiling above as she soon sits down by his side seeing the tears finally freely fall slipping through the ma he had built so securely, so stably, so stubbornly…
"…Dammit." Weakly, Katsuki whimpers, his voice cracking breaking briefly before stubbornly swiping the tears away as Katsuki looks away knowing well of his hatred for others to see such tears. No words needed to be shed between both siblings as they simply held on to one another, letting Katsuki let the built-up dam of stress, of pain, of emotion out, grateful to not be alone in the struggle…
