"Okay"

Hawks felt bile rise in his throat as Dabi stared up at him with a shocked expression on his face. He'd knocked the men helping Kenji out and hurried to help Dabi. He'd seen Dabi in danger and he'd had a sharpened feather in his hand and he'd just...


He'd just pushed it out and into Kenji's back, angled up just enough that the feather would puncture the lungs.


Hawks' knees gave out and he fell to the floor, turning away from Dabi and allowing the vomit to burn up his throat and out of his mouth.


Dabi's arm was around his shoulders in seconds, patting him gently. "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."


Hawks turned to Dabi and the villain wiped Hawks' mouth, wiping his hand off on Kenji's shirt. He didn't feel particularly upset that the man was dead, seeing as he had been about to kill Dabi, but he understood Hawks' predicament well enough.


"I-"


"I know," Dabi interrupted. It wasn't like Hawks regretted killing Kenji, the man had been about to kill Dabi anyways. He just... hated the feeling pooling in his stomach.


"Okay, this is sweet and all, but I'm about to pass out from blood loss." Toga's annoyed yet somehow still giggly voice sounded from the hospital bed.


"Shit," Dabi mumbled, helping Hawks stand. "Can you cut the leather?" he asked gently.


Hawks nodded, dropping the bloody feather still in his hand and pulling a clean one from his back, this one just slightly smaller than a pocket knife and tearing it through Toga's restraints easily as Dabi pulled the needle out and put a Hello Kitty bandaid on her wrist.


"Thanks," Toga mumbled. Her eyes brightened as she gazed at Dabi. "I knew you were gay!"


Dabi rolled his eyes and Hawks' chirping laugh escaped his mouth. The hero didn't know about Toga and Dabi's conversation when he had 'come out of the closet' but it was still an amusing comment.


"Everything'll be okay..." Toga whispered as she swung her legs over the edge of the hospital bed. She glanced at Kenji's body and turned into Dabi's open arms, hugging him as tightly as she could with her body weakened by blood loss.


"Everything'll be okay."

"Are you alright?" Dabi asked as Hawks cuddled into his arms.


Hawks shrugged sleepily. "I have... no idea."


"That's okay," Dabi breathed, kissing the top of Hawks' head. "That's okay..."


Not perfect, not glorious or wonderful, but not bad either. Not broken or hurt or cracked.


Okay.


Maybe a little burnt, but okay.
