stay-at-home husband Hawks
dabihawks post war fluff
I know trophy husband Dabi is a popular concept in the fandom, but what about trophy husband Hawks???
After the war he is just DONE, he’s so tired and burnt out, and nobody blames him for taking several big steps back when society are slowly starting to function and heal again.
Dabi, no, Touya, however, doesn’t quite have that luxury (for good reason, Keigo reminds him when he gets too grumpy about it).
The major condition of the house arrest he’s currently serving under Keigo’s roof is that he attends a program All Might is putting together for rehabilitate villains, and in the future hopefully catch at risk youth snd help them avoid the villain route.
This is a lot of work, and Touya surprises himself with enjoying the work, and when he ends up accepting an offer to get a bigger part in the project oing forward, agreeing to be trained to eventually be one of the in house teachers and mentors for the at risk youth, which might even result in his house arrest being shortened over time.
Keigo is so proud of him he could explode.
However, it does give him a lot of time to be around the house by himself.
At first, it made him anxious.
The one thing Keigo had always worked for was suddenly here, not just a possibility, but a fact.
And he had no clue what to do with it.
He spends his days restless, waiting around for something he doesn’t know, the highlight of each day being Touya coming home to him.
So he tries to work with that.
He starts working on making their place feel more like a home, step by step, and slowly it starts to work.
Not only does it make Touya both proud and happy, but it also makes Keigo feel accomplished in a way he’s not used to.
He starts to document these changes with a new, anonymous social media account, and he starts getting a small, but passionate following.
His next step is trying to conquer the kitchen.
This turns out to be a bit more of a challenge, but after a lot of trial and error, as well as an endless supply of cooking videos online, he starts to see some progress.
Cooking also happens to be one of Touya’s favorite things, so it becomes a perfect bonding activity for the couple during weekends and Touya’s days off.
Then one day Touya mentions how they should paint the bedroom, and Keigo realizes that they can do anything they want in this place.
So Keigo starts to plan the home renovation of a lifetime. The new project gets him a whole new levels of followers on his little interior account, and he is having the time of his life.
Touya also finds it highly amusing to come home to Keigo covered in paints, just as excited every single day to show off his progress.
And Touya must admit, Keigo has a knack for this.
But even more so, seeing the spark in his boyfriend’s eye makes Touya’s heart clench with pride and happiness like he’s never felt before.
All is well in their new life, and for once, Keigo finds himself able to enjoy it.
bonus: the tabloids and hero fan accounts have an obsolute field day when Keigo accidentally posts a pic on his interior account where you can see his entire reflection on a shiny surface, and he outs himself as the person behind the account.
