He sits down next to Hawks and grabs the laptop, pulling it in front of him.
Dabi glares at Hawks as he plays the game. “You should’ve worn this skirt.” He turns the laptop to face Hawks and points at a pleated skirt. “That fits with ‘School’ better.”
Hawks deadpans, staring at Dabi. “I-I’m sorry?”
“And—“ Dabi moves the character around. “—this necklace. Don’t layer them.”
Hawks blinks once, then twice, then manages to say, “You—how do you know this?”

Hawks has spent over half of his earnings on Roblox, is definitely mentally ill, and has a lot of problems with ‘PuppyLoverXx235’.
And Dabi is good at Dress To Impress.

((i came up with the name for the random kid on the spot, don’t go looking for it 😭😭😭))
Hawks plays Roblox.
That’s about all people need to know to know that he’s fucking out of it.
He plays Dress To Impress, scams kids on Adopt Me and yells at them in mental hospital servers on Maple Hospital.
He also has about 15 accounts with hundreds of thousands of yen put into them all, because he gets banned so much.
The first time he thought he was truly mentally ill was when he spent half of his earnings as the number two hero (and a spy at the League Of Villains) on Robux and subscriptions.
Everyone’s out today. So, he sits at the bar on his laptop and plays Dress To Impress, arguing with children that get more stars than him.
But, honestly, ‘PuppyLoverXx235’ should not have gotten 15 stars for that absolute fucking abomination.
“Are you playing fucking Roblox?” The lid of the laptop slams down as Hawks swivels in his chair, and comes face to face with Dabi, who’s staring at him in disbelief. “Was that Dress To Impress?”
“No.” Hawks says. “I was, uh, looking at emails-“
“Looking at emails my ass, you were playing Roblox.” Hawks purses his lips as Dabi stares him down. “And you weren’t even on theme.” He sits down next to Hawks and grabs the laptop, pulling it in front of him.
Dabi glares at Hawks as he plays the game. “You should’ve worn this skirt.” He turns the laptop to face Hawks and points at a pleated skirt. “That fits with ‘School’ better.”
Hawks deadpans, staring at Dabi. “I-I’m sorry?”
“And—“ Dabi moves the character around. “—this necklace. Don’t layer them.”
Hawks blinks once, then twice, then manages to say, “You—how do you know this?”
“Because I wasn’t a sheltered kid?”
“No, like, how do you know…fashion. And this game. And school.”
The burnt villain’s eye twitches. “None of your business. Now, do you want to place first or not?”
“Uh, yes, yes please.” Hawks says, his hands holding the cushion of the barstool as Dabi makes an outfit to match the new theme—‘Pink’.
Before this, Hawks didn’t even know if Dabi knew that the colour pink exists.
And before this, Hawks only talked to Dabi for all of five seconds before the latter would start aggressively making out with him. Which Hawks didn’t mind, not at all, but this version of Dabi was a lot…calmer.
It almost didn’t feel like Dabi was a villain. Just a kid playing a stupid game with stupid children.
“Fucking disgusting.” Dabi snarls. Hawks looks at the screen, and laughs a little at the dumbass outfit some kid has created. “Do these kids actually know fashion or are they taking the piss?”
“Do you really need an answer to that question?” Dabi looks at Hawks, and Hawks swears he sees a little bit of a flicker at the edge of Dabi’s mouth.
“It was rhetorical.”
“No shit.”
The voting continues, and then the curtain falls. And Hawks…
Gets first place.
Dabi punches the air and Hawks just stares at him as he actually…smiles.
Oh, shit.
That looks good.
“Yes! See, I told you I could-“ Dabi’s voice fails as he clears his throat. “Yeah. You won.”
He gets up and walks away, but Hawks grabs his arm. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Dabi says. “Leave it.”
Hawks tightens his hold. “No, seriously. What’s wrong?” He gets up and looks up at Dabi (because Hawks is incredibly short for his age and gender, unfortunately) and says, “That was fun.”
He sees a flicker of something other than hatred or rage or annoyance in Dabi’s eyes for just a second.
