Summary : A situationship with Keigo because he knew HPSC more than a relationship
Warning : Situationship, literally. OOC, probably angst but with happy ending
Neither of you remembers exactly when this complicated thing between you started. Keigo never made it official, never even confessed. But late-night flight at 3 AM right after you vented about your bad day to him over the phone?
"I'd prefer to hear it from you in person, kinda miss you dove"
Or when Keigo bought you a gift on not-your birthday of something that you mentioned about-once, three weeks ago because you saw it while scrolling through your Instagram. You never asked him to buy it, just a silly sending posts kind of thing that he secretly took notes.
Or when Keigo ordered your food on lunch hangouts (he'd call it) specifically just like how you like it, and proudly winking at you after adding a small note if you're not liking or having allergic of something.
Or when Keigo complimented you through texts after he saw you in your new dress during one of his patrol, chuckled to himself if he saw you blushed after he teased you like he didn't stalk you from the rooftop. Bonus is when he almost hit a billboard while flying when you posted a a picture of yourself on your snap.
Or when Keigo called you with 'sweetheart' and 'dove' in public drawing the attention from others, and everyone's sure you guys are dating. You're not.
Or when Keigo just casually chilling at her couch like he owns the place, taking a nap on his break time after patrol with a stolen blanket from your room wrapped around him. Let's not talk about how long his toothbrush has already made its nest at your place and how one of his shirts folded neatly in your closet. Yeah, let's not talk about that.
Or when Keigo who immediately changed the subject smoothly every time the question "what are we?" was brought up, either he distracted you with his dumb jokes or he straight up flew you to the nearest food shop of your liking. Shout out to the king of deflection.
Or when Keigo had one of those quiet days with no texts or calls. That he could gone for days leaving you worried, disappeared to hell knows where and came back after those long silent days with a simple message asking about the pastry you bought him a week ago like nothing happened. May or may not bribed you with the same pastries after you nagged him like an apologetic "boyfriend". Funny thing is, you never get the explanation from him why he disappeared like that. Huh.
But when you visited Keigo at the hospital after the raid, his face lit up under the respirator mask while the sight of his condition only made your heart hurts even more. He tried to lighten up the mood with cracking a few jokes from his text-to-voice app as your face frowned and he noticed of course. Deep inside, he's afraid. Because now that you know about his past-his sinful, bloodied hands and he understands if you'd want to walk out of his life. But would it be selfish of him to wish you'd nag him once more before you disappear completely?
Keigo flinched once you stepped closer to him. He turned his head to the side, avoiding your eyes. Something he'd not do if he was Hawks.
Ah, he understands now.
He wasn't scared to face your anger, he's just wasn't ready for you to see right through him. He didn't want to drag you into the hellish part of his life where you'd see the vulnerable side of him, and maybe judged him. Because that's what happens if Hawks ever shows a flaw, right?
and the texts would stop, and no more memes you'd sent him for his daily dose of happiness in his break time, and no more lunch together where he would sit by your side as an excuse because he likes to watch you from the corner of his eyes, and-
His train of thoughts were stopped when Keigo felt your hand resting on his calloused one, your touch was gentle telling him that maybe for once... it's okay to fall, and you'll be the one to catch him.
Guess he owes you more than just an apology and a full explanation once his voice is returns. He's promised himself that he will start over. Taking things slow and proper this time.
Notes : Phew, that's a lot. Wrote this while listening to backburner's playlist. Grammar error, and maybe the story being out of context because it's almost 1 am, but i still have more ideas
Y/N and Keigo walked through the lit streets which were illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights. Keigo walked by his side. The warmth in Keigo’s eyes makes his heart skip a beat, and his feathered wings gently rustle in the evening breeze, creating a captivating melody.
Keigo's hand finds its way to Y/N’s, it felt like a perfect fit. Time seems to stand still as you explore the city together, lost in each other's company.
“You know, I’m the luckiest person in the world. Being able to have you by my side..and being able to call you my boyfriend.” Keigo spoke up.
Y/N glanced at the other, his cheeks lighting up slightly as he smiled, his heart swelling with affection for the charming hero beside him.
As they reach a park, Keigo spreads his wings, inviting Y/N to soar with him. After a few moments of thinking, Y/N joined him as the two take flight together, soaring high above the city scape, the world beneath them fading into insignificance. With each graceful movement of his wings, Y/N felt an indescribable sense of freedom and exhilaration.
“Keigo…this is absolutely breathtaking..” Y/N whispered, turning his head to look at his boyfriend fondly.“I’d do anything to see you smile.” He responds, holding his gaze for a moment.
As the moon shines above, Keigo landed back in the park after a few moments, leading Y/N to a scheduled area. Surrounded by fragments of flowers and the soft caress of a gentle breeze, he takes Y/N’s hand in his, his touch sending sparks of warmth through Y/N’s body. With an affectionate smile, Y/N whispers sweet words of admiration and love, stealing a tender kiss. He caressed Keigo's cheek softly, interlocking his fingers with the others.
Keigo smiled softly, happily pressing his lips against Y/N’s as he rested his free hand on the other's chest. After a few moments, he pulled back, muttering a few incoherent words that made Y/N laugh softly.
This is how i think dating keigo would look like! (All of these are my opinions so of course it's not valid but most of these are gonna relate to my other writings)
Before Paranormal Liberation War:
Let's pretend you have dated for maybe six months or over
You and Keigo made a deal to not let this relationship being known in public for your own good, that's why you don't date in crowded place.
I wouldn't expect Keigo would make it on your every date. There were times where he'd cancel your date just an hour before because of an attack going on. You're dating a pro-hero, what do you expect?
Pretty sure in this timeline he'd lie about his name as well saying he was born with the name Hawks—and you believed him.
He'd ghost you sometimes leaving your chat on read or even maybe on delivered, who knows? (maybe he was scared his work doing would bring danger in your life)
When Keigo came back from two weeks of absent pretending like nothing happened—like he didn't just ignore you, made you two get into a heated argument but ends it with both of you making out. And at the end of the day, he still didn't tell you why he's gone. (there's no way he's gonna be honest about him being a spy for LOV)
Feel close and yet too far. He lets you do all the talking when you guys were having a deep talk. He loves your babbling, about your day, your work, your dog, your neighbor and never made it about him.
He loves you. He respects you. Won't cheat on you. Won't hurt you. He's just bad at showing it :(
I wouldn't say he's a red flag. Keigo's just unexperienced because he spent his life with training and mission without the HPSC giving him a chance to get his emotions getting in the way of his hero life. Just give him time. He's trying😭
After Paranormal Liberation War:
He told you everything. His name, his past, his fear, his weakness, his insecurity. He's ready for your judgement and almost shed a tear when you still look at him like he's matter.
This would be the first time he ever brought you to his place, no, not the one the HPSC prepared for him but the one he bought himself that you're surprised to see how minimalist the interior was for the number two hero. But it feels more like Keigo.
Keigo sometimes asked your help to apply an ointment oil for his burnt scar and please feel honored because those were moments where he showed his vulnerable side.
Doesn't care if someone finally found out about you. To make it even better, Keigo will soft launch you or just actually posted your picture on his official account.
Post Final War - Time Skip:
If someone asked him, how did he cope with his life after he lost his quirk, he will actually say it loud and proud that you taught him how to live.
Keigo always yearns for you. It's because either he saw you as the only anchor for him to keep going with his life or/and he's free from his quirk and the system that tied him up.
When you guys are hanging out in his or your place, expect him to suddenly falls asleep beside you or maybe on top of you when you're both cuddling because he felt safe with you :). And actually has the best sleep in his life if you're around.
Your happiness equals his happiness. So he most definitely spoils you to the point that makes you wonder the purpose of your own wage.
You can cook? your food will bring him to heaven.
You can't cook? no worries he has the money to buy takeouts for the two of you and still feel in heaven every time you eat with him.
If he's taking a day off and you're working, expect him to spam your chat or even call just because he doesn't know the different between clothes fragrance and liquid detergent.
Note: Hi!!! So yeah, that's just how i imagine dating him to be :). I know there are plenty of grammar mistakes because i wrote this at 2 am but i hope you get what i'm trying to say asdfghjkl. Also i passed my thesis presentation with a grade A, yeaayyy. I wasn't expecting the high grade but im really proud of myself im crying so much. Anyways i love you guys
