    Summary

    “Come on..." Tipping his head to the side, Hawks tugged on Dabi's hand to draw him closer. "It's your soulmark. You have to at least be a little curious.”

    “No," Dabi said firmly, "I don't. I've had enough of people telling me what to do and how to live my life. If it’s not my decision, if it’s not something I chose for myself, I don’t want it.”

    Hawks blinked. He couldn't very well argue with that. "That's fair," he relented. "What do you want, then?"

     

    Some things are inevitable.

    Summary

    “Touya-nii!” The voice says and it’s undoubtedly the voice of 5 year-old Todoroki Shouto. The voice of his little brother.
    “Touya?” Hawks questions as he tries to piece together why the name is being said.
    “Touya-nii, you’re so big!” Shouto says in awe as he hurries over to where Dabi’s standing.
    Dabi’s legs give out. He’s overwhelmed by the image of little Shouto running to him. The tousled red and white hair, his ice blue and gray eyes, the soft skin of his unscarred face. It nullifies Dabi. Suddenly, he can only remember being Touya.

    AKA a fic where Shouto gets hit by a de-aging quirk and Endeavor charges Hawks with watching him until the quirk wears off, featuring Hawks' terrible child caring skills (thanks to his own terrible childhood) and a Todoroki sibling reunion

    Summary

    “No, actually,” he says, voice carefully casual. He takes a step forward, putting distance between him and Dabi before he turns around. When he has a better view, he says, “I have a proposition for you, Dabi.”

    Dabi melts into the shadows—the rough purple-black scars on his face, his dark clothing, his lank hair. The only parts of him that holds any light are his eyes, which are a startling shade of light blue. Something about those eyes is familiar, but Hawks can’t put his finger on what.

    “A proposition?” Dabi says. “Is this some kind of fetish, a hero/villain thing? What would the press say?”

    Hawks couldn’t give less of a damn what the press says about anything. Chances are, when this is all over, his reputation is going to be sullied by far worse than a sex scandal. That knowledge makes it easy to smile, to laugh, at how ridiculous Dabi is.

    “Maybe later,” Hawks says, waving an idle hand. “The proposition I’m talking about is a bit more serious. One your boss is gonna want to hear, I bet.”

    Five times Hawks let Dabi get too close, and one time he got too close, himself.

    Summary

    "So that means Dabi did accept the bodyguard job?"

    Mera nods and Hawks runs a hand across his face.

    How is this happening?

    He and Dabi haven't spoken since graduating from the Commission's program years ago. They were never close as they were kids, let alone friends—their personalities clashed every time they were put together.

    This is hardly a good idea.

    or; HPSC President Hawks needs a bodyguard, and childhood rival Pro Hero Dabi just might fit the bill.
