14; Good Christian Man

"Stop making that fucking noise, you're making me nervous." Dabi snapped for the third time. I was tapping my nail against the car window not that hard but annoying enough in the quiet car. I couldn't help it, i'm just really, really nervous.
Dabi turned his eyes back on the road, we had been driving for two hours now back to Tokyo. The others stayed at my mum's house though Mirko begged to come with us, Dabi wouldn't allow it. I had assumed first that she would have come with us but Dabi probably changed his mind about it. She had to stay with the others to keep them calm, plus i suspected she had her eyes on Compress- Atsuhiro. I mean i couldn't blame her, he looked fine as hell. Maybe that's why Dabi said she should stay home, so she could spend the time she had with him, who knew what could happen? That sounded really depressing and i scoffed at my own thoughts.

I turned my head to watch Toya. His roots were now clearly showing, he had cut his hair when he did mine, so it was shorter and less spiky. I ran my hand through my own hair. He had shaved the sides slightly so i had an undercut, i liked it but i didnt know if i want it stay like this, i looked a lot like my father and that was something I'd rather not.

Dabi was wearing a black button up shirt, which he borrowed from me but when he put it on i decided he could have it. The shirt was slightly too tight as it was one of my teen years but it showed his newly gotten arm muscles clearly, he'd been eating properly and still exercised these past few weeks so he grew some muscles, he was still kind of scrawny but in a healthy way now.

I looked at him in an awe, he clenched his jaw as he noticed me staring.

"Find something else to do instead of undressing me with your eyes." he grumbled.

"I wasn't undressing you with my eyes," I protested, "I was admiring your muscles, those are two different things!"
He sighed and rolled his eyes.

Eventually i fell asleep in the car and was woken up around dinner time.

"We're here." Dabi touched my shoulder. I blinked bleary eyed, "We're here." I whispered, now that we were here i had my doubts. So many things could go wrong. We could end up in prison, and oh boy i definitely did not want that.

"Dabi i don't think this is a good idea." I whispered a little louder, Toya didn't get out of the car but his hand was on the door.

"Why not?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow at me.

"I'm scared."

"He won't hurt you, I can handle him." Toya simply said, even though it wasn't true, Endeavor is definitely stronger in strength.

"It's not that, i don't want us to end up in prison." i said softly.

Toya didn't get the importance of that statement immediately but when he did he blinked at me.

"You mean you're dad--"
"Yes, he's alive and in there. Anyways I'm a hero, or at least i was. Half of them are guys i put in there." interuppted him

"He's not gonna lock us up. We'll run away before that happens, i promise."
I looked up at him, his eyes were fierce, he meant every word he said.

"Alright then, here goes nothing." i said and i got out of the car. We quietly walked to the gate and i pressed the call button. It felt like ages before someone finally answered.

"Hey who's there?" a female voice said through the speaker.
Fuyumi.

"Hey Fuyumi, it's me, Hawks. Is your father home?" i asked my voice shaking slightly. I glanced at Toya his expression was dark.
"Hawks? How are you doing, I heard about the fight!" She said, not answering my question just yet.

"Fuyumi, your father is he home?"

"Oh right, no he's not home yet, he'll be home after dinner, do you want to join us? It's been so long since we saw each other." She sounded nearly cheerful but also slightly anxious like she knew i had with me. Toya nodded and I responded.

"Yeah sure, i got someone with me though, it might be a shock for you to see who." i said.

She took in a sharp breath but said, "Alright I'll open the gate."

A small buzzer was heard and the gate slowly slid open Wwalked inside into the big front yard. Fuyumi was already at the front door with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

She froze as she saw us. "Keigo your wings." She said before she noticed something else.

"Wait you really--" she clasped her hand to her mouth not finishing. She had expected it obviously, she had seen the news.
I nodded, "Let me explain before you panic." I said, she glanced at Toya quickly before letting us in. Dabi stiffened once inside. He clenched his jaw visibly.

"Say something." i nudged Dabi's shoulder.

"She hates me." he hissed back.

"I'm right here you know?" she interrupted her eyes glistering.

Toya sighed, and she continued, "Is it true you're Toya?" He looked down and nodded. She stood quietly for a second before tears started to stream down her cheeks. Toya or me didn't even have time to move as she started furiously wiping the tears from her face as she sobbed.

"Why-- how--" she said inbetween the sobs. Natsuo who had heard her crying came into the hallway.

"Fuyumi, what's wrong?" he asked her as he put an arm around her shoulder, he looked at me and than at Dabi whose expression was still dark and nearly unreadable.

Fuyumi pushed Natsuo's arm off of her and jumped into Toya's arms. He wrapped his arms around her as she was now sobbing in his shirt.

Natsuo looked at me, "Is that-" he asked not managing to complete the sentence.

"I've found your brother." I said as a sort response. Natsuo ran his hand through his hair. Toya looked at Natsuo with his blue eyes shining.

"Fuck." Natsuo said and tears started to form in his eyes too. He joined his siblings in the hug. I stood by and watched. Even though he left them and unintentionally hurt them, they let him back in. I had to wipe a tear from my eye, Toya was back with his family who loved him so much even though he thought they would hate him.

I smiled slightly, this wasn't the hardest part though, we still had to face Endeavor. Fuyumi finally calmed down enough and took us to the livingroom.

"Have you ever visited mom?" Fuyumi asked Toya.

"No, the reasons for that are pretty obvious i think." he answered, he didn't dare to look up at her.

"He could get her in trouble with going in the hospital." i finished, Fuyumi glanced at Toya again then back at me.

"What happened to your wings? I heard you fought the head of the league but they said you didn't have any long lasting injuries." she said, i scoffed.

"It's not really an injury anymore, they're gone. They may or may not grow back, the doctors weren't sure." i gritted my teeth. She looked sympathetic.

"Should we just order some food?" Natsuo suggested as silence fell into the room. "Good idea Natsu." Fuyumi answered with a smile.

"You guys want anything to drink?" she asked as Natsuo left livingroom to get his phone. "Do you got anything strong and alcoholic?" i answered, she nodded and went to the kitchen.

There were another pair of footsteps, they were to light to be Endeavor's. "Fuyumi have you seen my--" Shoto looked up from his phone just as he turned the corner.

"What the fuc--" He managed to breath before he dropped his phone and changed into a fighting position.

"Shoto, don't, he's your bro--"

"I know who he was!" he yelled back. Was, that didn't sound good, i frowned.

"What ya gonna do? Fight me?" Toya said as he got up from the couch cracking his knuckles.
Shoto blasted his fire to Touya who made a circular move with his hands and the fire was gone.

"Guys stop." i said as i stood up from the couch too, just before Shoto fired another shot of fire. Dabi shoved me away and did the same thing with his hands again.

I landed back on the couch and climbed over it away from the fight, let's just see how this continues.

"Your flames aren't as hot as mine, i can touch them without being burned." Toya stated, Shoto stopped firing fire and just charged forward into a fist fight, he could have used his ice quirk but no.

Toya didn't expect it and that was probably the only reason Shoto got the first hit in, against his face, that's what i thought at first but then i realised Toya wasn't even fighting back, he was letting Shoto hit him as many times and as hard as he wanted. I wanted to yell for him to stop but someone else was faster. "Stop it!" Fuyumi shrieked as she got back into the room. She put down the tray more carefully than i had expected from someone who just ran into her brothers fighting like that. She ran over to her brothers and grabbed Shoto's fist before he could land another blow. He could have easily shrugged her off, but instead Shota looked up at her in anger.

"Stop it!" she said again, Shoto let her pull him off Toya who had fallen when Shoto had first hit him. I whined softly in sympathy before I jumped over the couch where Toya sat up on the floor. I touched his face with my fingers slightly, he flinched.

"Sorry, are you okay?" i asked quietly, "Yeah I'm fine." he said as he touched the blood on his face.

"You just let him hit you." I stated. Toya turned his head away in embarrasment.

"He had the right to do so." If he hadn't just been beaten up i would have smacked the back of his head for saying something so stupid.

"No he didn't just shut up will you." i said and i pulled Toya to his feet with a little too much force. Shoto was being scolded by his older sister now which was a pretty funny sight, he was taller than his sister and his shoulders were broader than hers but he let her scold him anyway. he hung his head. Natsuo came back looking at his phone in his hand.

"I ordered pizza is that okay?" he looked up and around the room, his eyes lingered on Toya's bleeding face for a second.

"The fuck happened here?" he arched his head in confusion. "Just get the first aid kit Natsu." Fuyumi said irritated and Natsuo left the room once again.He came back with the first aid kit. He gave it to Fuyumi who huffed a thanks.

"Toya come here." he did and she treated his wound and held a tissue against his nose to stop the bleeding.

Once the pizza arrived, the peace returned and Shoto was even willing to talk to Touya civilly. Not soon after the pizza had finished the front door clicked and heavy footstep thumbed on the floor. Touya tensed next to me. I stood up as did Fuyumi and Shoto. Shoto disappeared quickly to his room.

Endeavor appeared into the room and froze, "Hawks, " his eyes fell onto Toya.

"Toya." he gritted through his teeth.

"You're wishing you'd killed me the last time you saw me right?" Toya said, he reached for the hem of his shirt, "Still got the scar by the way." Touya lifted his shirt and showed him the now fully healed wound, it had left a huge scar though.

"I can still kill you," He said back calmly, i was amazed about how calm he still was.

"We aren't here to fight." I added, Endeavor turned to glare at me.
"You. You think you can just disappear for a few days, turn up in your hometown and then fight the head of the league of villains? You're fucking crazy." Endeavor hissed.

"I'm doing fine, thanks for asking." I answered dryly.

Fuyumi and Natsuo moved to go away from us. "No, stay here." Dabi said as he pointed his fingers at his siblings without breaking eye contact with his father.

"We're here to make a deal and you're going to listen." he said to his father.

We went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Listen." Dabi said harshly as Endeavor opened his mouth again.
"Calm down Toya," Fuyumi whispered. I took in a deep breath, calming myself down.

"Don't call him that Fuyumi. He's not my son."

"Believe me i haven't seen you as my father since i ran." Toya responded, simply.

"Don't fight you two." Fuyumi responded. She didn't dare to defy her father about that comment but focused instead on keeping the two guys from turning this in an all out fight.

"We want you to clear the names of the members from the league," i said. It was quiet for a second before Endeavor started to laugh.

"And why would i do that?" he said, with a smirk on his face.

"It's either you help us or we bring everything out." Toya said. Endeavor raised an eyebrow.

"Define everything?"
"You having abused us, physically, mentally, you used and abused our mother, probably raped her too." Toya gritted through his teeth.

"No one will believe you." Endeavor said, he didn't sound unsure.

"They might not believe Toya, but they'd believe me, I've seen the damage you did to him," I said before i turned my head to the two other siblings.

"Fuyumi, Natsuo you'd help me right? I'm planning to take your mother out of that hospital and you out of this house." I said, the siblings glanced at their father before nodding.

Endeavor's expression changed, "You're blackmailing me?" Endeavor said, before slamming his hands on the table. "I've raised you!" he yelled out at the three siblings.
I scowled at that, what a job he did raising them. He had two kids probably mentally scarred (as far as i know not physically) and two kids both physically and mentally scarred for life, I've raised you my ass.

"You did? Look at me! Does this look like someone who has been raised well?" Dabi stood up and he slammed his own hands on the table.
"Toy--" i started as i reached for his arm. He pulled his arm away, "Don't Toya me right now."

"You should show more respect to me!" Endeavor yelled.
"People get respect when they've earned it, you lost yours a long time ago." Toya bit back, i glanced over to Fuyumi and Natsuo for a second, Fuyumi looked like she'd cry again and i felt sorry for her.

"We want the League to be free, to be able to walk without getting arrested." I said before one of them went to yell at the other again. Toya continued, "They didn't do much and they're prepared to spend time in jail for it, as long as the sentence isn't longer than 2 years." i hadn't heard anything about that, did he discuss this with the others when i was in bed these past few weeks?

I looked at Dabi quickly, why hadn't he told me this? Touya didn't look at me and i knew he was avoiding eye contact. Endeavor scoffed," I don't go over that."

"Yes but you can help, for example, Twice, he needs mental help, the only reason he joined was because he wasn't accepted in society 'cause his quirk made him all crazy. If you tell the Judge that he won't get a long sentence and probably be out on probation after a month or so and he will get the help he need. Toga, she was also neglected because of her quirk she has never learned human norms and just used her instinct, she did these things because she didn't know better. She can get out on probation too after a few months" Dabi took a breath, before continuing.

"Compress, has never killed someone, he didn't do anything except be with us and helping us escape, so probably a few months in jail too and probation." Dabi said, he stopped there, what was he thinking is he gonna say something about himself or is he just gonna take the blame for everything?
"The point is, you can make their sentence, shorter and better for them, to help them and not to fully punish them." Endeavor thought about it and when Fuyumi started to talk he perked up.

"What about you?" Fuyumi asked, her voice was on edge.

"Me?" Dabi said, he scoffed before continuing, "I was in the right mind when i did these things, when i killed people." Fuyumi flinched at that, "I felt sorry everytime i did but I'm not crazy, maybe depressed, you could use that but i don't think they can really use that. We have to bring up how i was raised in my trial obviously but that won't reduce the sentence much i think. But I'm willing to take that risk for them." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

I couldn't believe it, this wasn't the plan, he was finally here with me and he was willingly throwing it away to help others, but what about me? It was selfish to think that, i know, but I've never made selfish choices before, i always helped others. When was it my turn to be happy? Why can't anyone learn to respect my happiness?

"Just promise you'll help them, I dont care what happens to me."

This time I slammed my hands on the table and stood up, i glared at Toya, venom in my eyes, before leaving the kitchen. I almost bumped into Shoto on my way out. He looked at me confused as i pushed past him angrily, tears in my eyes. I heard no one standing up to follow me which somehow made me even angrier. I opened the front door and slammed it close. Once i was outside i turned to go into the garden.

I didn't want to leave him here alone so I'd just wait for him to finish so i could yell at him. I sat down against a big tree. The sun was slowly setting and the voices inside were loud, i couldn't hear what they're saying and who was talking but it didn't sound good.

"Touya used to sit here and read, you know?" Fuyumi said after i sat alone for a while, she had her hands in her pocket and approached me slowly, she'd cried again i noticed, her eyes were red rimmed and puffy.

I shook my head, i hadn't known.

 "You know he's only trying to help them. That's what i always admired of him, he always helps the people around him even if it meant he'd get hurt." she said. Fuyumi sat down next to me against the tree trunk. "That's what would've made him such a great hero." she said. 

"He did so much for me, he helped, he saved me from Shigaraki you know? I'd have died if he hadn't. But i want him to be happy too and finally do something for himself." i sighed before rubbing my face with my hands.

"I knew that you liked my brother from the moment you first stepped into our house." Fuyumi said instead, she hugged her knees to her chest, "I don't mind you do, but i was a little confused about it at first, i didn't really understand it at all. How could a guy like a guy? I've grown over that a long time ago."

I didn't really get what she mean to say, "Toya is doing this out of love, you know? He doesn't think he's the man you deserve right now, he thinks he doesn't deserve your love till he gets punished for what he did and when he stops hating himself, " Fuyumi continued, "He hates himself right now, he hates everything he did. That's why he's willing to do this all." She finished, a tear slipped down my face.

"Did he tell you this just now or did you figure this out yourself? "
"He kinda told us, he screamed out how he hated himself just a few minutes ago at Dad but i figured out the rest myself." she said.

"He does deserve the love he gets," i said to her softly, "He really does, he's just broken and depressed right now. He was saying that the Judge wouldn't take that with the sentence but he would, depression can make you do weird stuff." i said firmly, not to comfort Fuyumi but myself.

"That's true, we'll help him get through this. And even if he has spend time in jail we can still visit him and after he gets out he can have a fresh start, they all can." Fuyumi said with a small smile. I nodded.

"You guys can too. What i said inside is true. I'm gonna get your mother from the hospital and get you guys a place to stay without your father." she smiled and grabbed my hand and she squeezed it softly.

"Thank you."

Toya finally approached us, slouched down and head hung slightly.

 "It's done, Father agreed. Let's go get Mom." He said, Fuyumi scrambled to her feet, "What already? Did he-- how did you do it?" she said. "I told him to get Mom out of there. So he called and everything, she'll be off the hook tonight. So we'll go get her. Obviously i won't go, you two go. I'll go back to Hawks' hometown and get the other league members." Toya said, Hawks, he'd called me Hawks again while he'd been calling me mostly Keigo this past few weeks. He also didn't adress me, only his sister.

"Dad'll be gone tonight, he won't be here when mom arrives. It might be to much for her in one evening. I won't be here either." continued Toya. I stood up, instinctively Toya took a step back, which was pretty smart because of my temper.

"Alright go get the others." I spat at him, let's see how he'd react, I was still angry at him and he was avoiding me in the worst way possible.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." he said, he turned around, did he actually think he deserved the scolding he got right now? I scoffed, fucking idiot.

I took a few quick steps towards and grabbed his wrist yanking at it. Toya turned around, he was bleeding from the purple patch under his eyes. 

"Did your really think you could leave without saying goodbye?" 

He grumbled something which i couldn't understand.

"Is this how you cry?" I asked, i had been wondering that since a while now. I wiped the blood from his face with my thumb. 

"Yeah. Burned my tear ducts, can't cry real tears anymore just blood." he said quietly. "Come here." i wrapped my arms around him, i couldn't stay angry at him, not now i know our time together is limited.

He hugged me back tightly. Before letting go slightly and kissing my lips softly, "I'll be back soon with the others. Be careful." He said as he let go.
"You too, I'll see you later." i held onto his hand as he walked until i couldn't reach him anymore and his fingers slipped away through mine.
This felt like a forever good-bye but it wasn't, i couldn't be.


Yes i finished this chapter and no this is not the last chapter:))
