    Summary

    Several quiet beats pass between them. Far away, the ruckus of the rest of the League echoes into the night. Everyone always goes buck wild after these meetings, all riled up.

    Dabi holds his hand out. In the shadows it’s hard to see his face, even with Hawks’ eyesight.

    “Light?” He offers again, flicking his fingers together. A tiny blue flame pops into existence in his palm and dances against the dark. It’s…sort of beautiful. Like a miniature star.

    “…Yeah.” Hawks nods minutely and bridges the gap, stepping closer. He dips the cigarette into the small fire and lifts his hand to shield it from the wind.

    Dabi shakes his head. “It won’t go out on its own. Don’t insult me, Birdie.”

    Hm. Hawks isn’t sure if it’s the funny nickname or the first breath of nicotine, but he gets a head rush.

    “Thanks.” He says, blowing out a cloud of smoke. Warmer already.

    ***

    Or, where Hawks and Dabi start out as nothing, and turn into something, over time. It's complicated.
