Broken (Dabi x Female!Reader x Hawks)

49 ~ The Small Black Box

"Keigo, what the fuck are you-" My back hit against the wall, a pair of lips connecting with mine as my wings fluttered out in defense. His rough hands trailed down along my dress, playing with the hem of my skirt as if wanting nothing more than to take it off. Everything about him was wild like an animal, a carnal urge holding onto his senses.

My hands pressed against his chest softly pushing him away though he didn't budge. Anger bubbled inside of me when his hands found my hips and pulled my body closer to him. I put my hands up to his chest and pushed once again, this time using the necessary force to get him off.

"What the hell!" I took a step to the side and dodged the blonde man before me, desperately trying to reach the door to the closet. We'd been looking for Moria and Cane when I was dragged in here with Keigo. He'd been so quiet since our conversation with the old hag that I was worried but apparently he was fine. "This isn't the time for this shit Keigo."

When I turned to look at him I felt a piece of my heart break, the golden eyes that had always been so tense and alert pooled with sparkling tears. "Are you mad?"

"Keigo-" I outstretched my hand but he smacked it away, his lips falling into a frown. He didn't want comfort, he wanted answers. "Pretty bird I'm not mad but I need to know what's wrong."

"I've never had control over anything." His words seemed to stand in the air as if they couldn't travel far with the weight they carried. "I signed away my whole life when I was a child. They choose who I spoke with, what I ate, what I did."

Grabbing onto his calloused hand I pulled it to my chest, laying it flat over my heart. Keigo stood there for a second, his eyes fixated on me as if I was the only thing in the world. I'd wanted to say something to him but my words fell from my lips when I realized he had only been acting on instincts. She'd taken everything away from him and he wanted to know that he had control over at least one thing: His baby bird.

I took a step forward, his strong hand falling limp in the moment as all the will left his body, "Keigo no one is taking me away from you. I promised that I wouldn't leave you, remember?"

"I know." He wiped away the last of his tears and placed the smallest of smiles on his face. "Baby bird, you're my everything. Just let me hold you a bit longer."

Without hesitation I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his body down towards mine. We fell back together, my body squished under his as I hit the floor. It wasn't the most comfortable situation but I wanted him as close as I could get him. Tonight was filled with dangers and I'd realized something on my way here: I might not survive.

"I love you so much Keigo Takami." I whispered, knowing that he heard me even from his spot buried in the crook of my neck.

"What's with that tone baby bird?" He asked, pulling up and meeting my (E/C) eyes. That crooked smile was back on his face, much larger than the remnants of the one from earlier. I really do love my two idiots. "You sound like something bad is going to happen."

I was silent, the words I wanted to say being too heavy for me to lift into his ears. "You're going to be okay, right?"

All I managed was a shake of my head before I tucked myself under his chin, pushing him back up so he was sitting on his knees. The deep voice that I'd learn to love was gone and replaced with shallow short breaths. I clung to him, my arms tightening. Dabi and Keigo were all I had. My everything. Why isn't he saying anything? Please. Please. Please just say something!

"Why didn't you tell any of us?" Drip. "If we knew- if you would've told us."

"If I would've told you then you wouldn't have let me come here." I cupped his cheek and gently ran my thumb over the falling tears. His golden eyes held my stare as though he was trying to understand why I was doing this. Truth is, I didn't know either. For so long I've wanted to take Cane down that I ignored all he did to me: It was more a dream than a reality back then. THey helped me get here, where I can finally beat him.
