TW- TRIGGER WARNING ⚠: Major character Death, Implied attempted suicide, Blood,

You have been warned, enjoy:

Hawks fly's back to his apartment in a daze.

It's still light out, it hasn't been that long since he left... Since he left...

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙖𝙬𝙠𝙨? 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠  𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚  𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖 𝙜𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩..." 𝘿𝙖𝙗𝙞 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩.

Hawks made it back to his apartment.

𝙃𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙖𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚.

Hawks uses his newly dyed, black feathers to grab the bags he already had packed and waiting for him.

And if he takes the jacket of a certain blue eyed arsonist, then that's no one else's business but his own...

Hawks leaves his final note behind, he already left one for Rumi and another for Fumikage. With that Hawks leaves for the train station, next stop is the airport.

He detaches most of his feathers, leaving only tiny wings behind and puts them into a large (pathetically light) duffle bag. The duffle bag barley weighs anything considering he doesn't own many personal possessions (he rubs his thumb across a small glass vial), how pathetic.

He slips on a pair of sunglasses and sits in the back of the train.

The last thing Hawks saw before he turned his head from the window was a small red bird. The red bird itself wasn't what made Hawks burst into tears, no, it was the bluejay flying along side it.

The young man's shoulders shook with his violent sobs, his tiny wings hidden beneath his hoodie doing the same. He looked back at the slip of paper with a short sentence, a sentence that makes Haw- no, Keigo's heart ache.

𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧. 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚..ꉣꏂꋪꊰꏂꉔ꓄ ꊰꄲꋪ ꏂꋬꉔꁝ ꄲ꓄ꁝꏂꋪꂵꌦꀘꏂ-

𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙏𝙤𝙪𝙮𝙖.

The end of the first paragraph  became blurred and unreadable to him, but even then a familiar guilt makes itself at home inside of Keigo's heart.

Keigo's hands will never be clean, they'll always be 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙮𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙮𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙮𝙙𝙞𝙧-

"Oh Touya, I could never forget you." Keigo says to himself as if he were talking to someone who was no longer there, his breathing still unsteady and his eyes refilling with tears.

Dabi's dead while Hawks runs away. Touya died twice while Keigo runs away to start a new life without his lover.

Keigo may be moving on but, the other half of his heart has died in Japan and shall stay in Japan.

Dabi knew he and Hawks were never meant to stay happy together. He knew it was either me or him... And he chose to run in front of the feather blade about to impale Hawks.

"𝙄'𝙢 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮, 𝙆𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙤..."

Keigo is dry sobbing now, he's cried so much his body is out of tears to shed. The blade was supposed to be for 𝙢𝙚 Dabi! 𝙒𝙝𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙮? Why didn't I stop it when I realized it didn't hit it's mark? 𝙒𝙝𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙮?

Even though Keigo is on the train he feels a gentle breeze brush over his face, gently mussing up his already windblown hair. The breeze feels like a caress, it feels like a final goodbye but without all the anger and bitterness.

He trys his best to think of a happy memory he's had with Dabi.

It wasn't hard with how many happy moments he's had with him.

𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙤𝙥; 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙮𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨.

𝙃𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙖 𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙣'𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 "𝙄 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚."

With that Keigo finally feels a temporary peace settle his aching heart, especially with the feeling of a familiar presence watching over him.

The End.

Note: Yes I'm aware the vial scene didn't make sense and that this is OCC af. Let me live man. . .
