Beautiful Disasters- Hawks x OC

Chapter 68

It was a bit difficult to find a restaurant that was still serving ice cream during the winter season, but they eventually stumbled on a small family restaurant that still had it on the menu. People were more than surprised when they entered the establishment. Hawks was famous, and now he was coming in with his girlfriend and a child that looked suspiciously like a mix between the two of them.

"Table for three please," he requested.

The hose stared at them wide-eyed for a moment before nodding dumbly. As if in a daze, the young man led them to a table.

"Uh, would you guys like a high chair?" he asked looking at Ayuri.

"Do you guys have booster seats?" Mariko asked sitting down and pulling the girl into her lap.

"Oh yeah, uh I mean, I think so. I'll check," he said scurrying off to the back room.

"He looks scared," Ayuri commented.

Keigo nodded, "I think we surprised him."

"Why?" she asked tilting her head.

"Because Hawks is famous," Mariko explained, shifting their position slightly.

"What does famous mean?"

The brunette thought for a moment, "it means that everyone knows who he is."

"Why is he famous?"

"Because he's a hero."

"Really? Hawks-san is a hero?!" She asked, her eyes wide with wonder.

The male smiled proudly, plastering a blinding smile on his face and spreading his wings out slightly for effect. "Sure am!" he exclaimed pointing at himself.

"I thought heroes were supposed to save people though," she commented.

Mariko nodded. "They are, that's what he does every day."

Ayuri tilted her head in confusion, "Why didn't he save you then?" she asked.

The brunette blinked, not understanding. "What do you mean?"

The little girl nodded as though it should've been obvious, "he didn't save you that time. He left."

Keigo frowned in confusion. He'd only ever met Ayuri that day. Was she getting confused with another hero? "When are you talking about? What time?" he asked.

"I wasn't in any danger today," Mariko said.

Ayuri shook her head, "I saw it when I fell. Aunt Mari got hurt really bad and Hawks-san flew away," she looked at the hero, "That was mean Hawks-san. You're not a very good hero," she told him.

The two adults exchanged looks, neither one of them understood what the child was talking about.

"I promise that if Mari ever got hurt, I would never leave her by herself," he assured her.

"Are you sure it was us you saw? Maybe you're remembering something that happened to other people," she suggested.

Ayuri looked up at the brunette. The little girl's normally sky-blue eyes had turned a blood-red color. "I see it though. A really big fire and you're hurt. Everything is red," she told her.

Mariko did her absolute best to maintain a normal and disbelieving expression. Her mind raced as she put the pieces together. Ayuri hadn't made anything up, she most likely had seen hawks abandon her in a vision of some sorts. Maybe it was her quirk? "Hayato's quirk is technology manipulation, what's Kaede's again?" she asked herself. Rather than concentrate on that though, she knew she couldn't let Hawks see Ayuri like that or else he would freak out. She smiled softly and covered the small child's eyes. "What do you see now?" she asked.
