I blame my buddies on discord for this. (You know who you are. I don't need to tag you fuckers).

If you had walked up to Hawks a year ago- heck if this had happened a month ago- and told him that that he would be so intoxicatingly in love with someone that he would come up with a game to create purposefully bad pick up lines and still swoon his partner, then he would have laughed.

And yet, here he was about to swoon just because Dabi pulled out a cowboy hat and murmured in the worst accent he had ever heard, "Do you wanna ride my horse, partner?"

What the fuck has his life become? God blessed him real well, didn't he? I mean, Dabi was a villain, he was a hero, shouldn't work, right? Yeah, well somehow he was able to build up a strong enough case to make Touya a good guy until proven otherwise and even get Endeavor to love his son again.

He would be lying if he said that it didn't boost his ego a bit. But I mean, he had the best man in the world. (Although a certain explosion and green-haired pair would like to argue that they were the best couple).

Hawks was snapped into reality when he realized that one, he had fallen back and into their bedside table, and two, Dabi was standing in front of him worried as fuck.

"Hawks? Takami! KEIGO!?" 

Hawks frowned seeing how worried his lover was. Nothing a little kiss couldn't fix. So he grabbed Dabi's face and pulled him in.

He would never get over how soft his lips were against his. How amazingly the inside of his mouth just felt like it was made for him. Everything about Dabi made him think he was the only one made for him...ever.

And if anyone wanted to test that fact by hurting him well...they were in for a bad time. He pulled back- finally- and smirked at the snarky look on his partner's face.

"You're an asshole, Birdy," Dabi said, lips pressed in a firm line.

The anger was fake but still made Hawks feel guilty unlike anything else.

"Sorry, Touya~" he cooed.

Dabi shook his head, still not used to hearing Hawks say his real name so adoringly. He didn't think he would ever get used to it, but he never wanted it to stop.

"Yeah yeah, come here!"

The flathead pulled Hawks. The smaller of the duo nuzzled his face in Dabi's neck, his arms coming around them both protectively.

"I love you Touya," Hawks mumbled.

He didn't expect a reaction...he never did. Dabi always opted for silent love and affection.

So maybe that's why it surprised him so much and made his heart melt when the boy's voice let out a whisper sent out only for the ears of the boy he needed with all his heart.

"I love you too, Keigo. I always have."

Keigo felt a blush form on his face. And a smile stretch on his mouth. He soaked in the moment for a moment before a more...scandalous thought filled his head.

"Sooooo...about that ride~"
