first-time dad! keigo who presses his lips to the swollen curve of your stomach with the promise to give his unborn offspring the childhood that he never had.
first-time dad! keigo who tries—and fails—to be subtle with his pandering, often waking you in the middle of the night when your breath pauses for a second too long, brows knitted with worry.
first-time dad! keigo who accompanies you to hospital appointments, and stares at the monitor, glossy-eyed and enamoured by the tiny thump, thump, thump of his baby’s heartbeat.
first-time dad! keigo who, later that night, burrows beneath the covers with you by his side, and dreams of the future that is to come, the spread of his palm warming your skin as he nuzzles at your pulse.
first-time dad! keigo who frequently litters your changing body with affection, the press of his fingers gentle as he tests the weight of your milk-laden breasts, humming an answering moan when you keen the syllables of his name.
first-time dad! keigo who is determined to show you just how much he adores the marks that stretch along the expanse of your hips and the patch of curls that have taken home between your legs now that you can no longer reach to tame them.
first-time dad! keigo who makes love to you on the nights that sleep evades you, chuckling when the mood is broken when he titters a calming symphony that has your unborn babe responding in kind with a swift kick to your ribs.
first-time dad! keigo who taps the tips of his fingers to your belly, irises gleaming the colour of liquid gold with unabashed excitement that renders him giddy, because, fuck, he can’t wait to meet you.
first-time dad! keigo who, despite his meticulous preparations, finds that, actually, he isn’t at all ready for when the day of your child’s birth finally arrives, horror paling his cheeks a worrying shade of white when your waters break.
first-time dad! keigo who looks a little green, overwhelmed with a flurry of mind-reeling emotions when he smoothes away the sweat-soaked hairs that stick to your forehead as the crooks of your fingers tighten around his own, straining as you finally bless him with the perfect bundle of joy.
first-time dad! keigo who, whilst you slip into the arms of slumber, counts ten tiny fingers and ten minuscule toes before he’s then blinded by his own affections that roll down the apples of his cheeks in rivets, a singular droplet landing on the tip of a perfectly small nose.
first-time dad! keigo who brushes his lips to the wisps of those finely curled hairs that match the colour of his own, greedily inhaling the new scent of life that intermingles with the taste of freshly fed milk. and there, he whispers a promise of an unconditional love that wasn’t gifted to him until the day he met you.
He’s not gonna outright ask you, that's not his style, or more specifically, he’s too embarrassed to. Dabi’s scars sometimes hurt, he’ll just wake up and feel pain all over his body, this usually happens when he’s burning, so snuggling up to you was perfect to him, since you were like a block of ice compared to him.
Usually you're able to tell when he wants attention or love, but if you don’t realise, he’ll try to give you hints that he wants affection, typically by saying things like “Baby, y’know i’m not around often, might as well do something” or “Are you just gonna ignore me?”
One day however, he worked up the courage to try and y“Hey, um, I was wondering if you wanted to…” he paused, all your focus was on him, which only embarrassed him more.
After a few seconds of silence, he simply picked you up with no warning, the sight of shock on your face making him chuckle, he plopped you on the couch as and then wrapped his arm around you waist as he pulled you in and laid his head on your shoulder
“Y’know dabi, you could’ve just asked me for cuddles” you laughed
“Shut up.”
₊˚✩彡 𝐇𝐀𝐖𝐊𝐒
This man is an attention whore, let’s face it. Whenever he gets home from work, all he wants to do is cuddle you until you both fall asleep, and he isn’t shy to admit it
If for some reason you reject his offer to cuddle, he will take it VERY personally, he’ll cup your cheeks and say “do you not love me anymore?” while pouting like a kicked puppy
If you still won’t budge, it will actually start to hurt him, did he do something wrong? Eventually he’ll get your attention one way or another, so prepare yourself..
He’ll poke you with his feathers, nuzzle you with his nose, just ANYTHING that will annoy
When you finally agree he immediately pounces on you and gently wraps his arms and wings around you
As soon as he heard those words his eyes widened, glancing up at you in shock.
Your voice was dull, but full of worry and almost regret in his eyes slightly widen meeting yours.
“What do you mean your pregnant?”
he asked, still trying to process the words that just came out your mouth.
“I mean, Im pregnant.” your voice shaked as fear washed over you.
You both stood there in complete shock, Keigo trying to make sense of the situation.
…
“A-and im the father?”
“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK ASSHOLE?!” You screamed at him, upset that he’d even ask that.
“Im sorry, I just.. I wasn’t expecting that..”
“Yeah,” you sniffed “me neither”
You felt the tears flow down your face, terrified of what to do. He was your co worker, you two were sidekicks. How the hell could you two be parents? Would you two finally have to come clean about your relationship? How would the press respond? even worse, how would keigos agency respond?
“Y/n, i barley have time to see you.. how am I gonna be a good father?”
“I know..” you felt your breathes heave a little harder, more tears flowing down your face despite trying to play it cool. “And.. I don’t know..”
Your eyes could only look at the floor, too scared to look at him. All that could be heard was your small sobs of uncertainty. Uncertain what to do. Uncertain how this would change your life. Uncertain how he would respond.
“Y/n, i want this.” He finally said, breaking the silence between you two, “so bad..” he slightly smiled, his eyes begging to gloss.
“Kei, I can’t be a mother I can’t. We can’t be parents.” You admitted, feeling the defeat the world had bestowed upon you. Feeling the curse of falling in love with someone you should. All you could do was think to yourself ‘how stupid must you be?’
“I don’t even know the first thing about being a parent.” He said, his arms wrapping around you to hold you closer. “But I do know that we can at least try.”
Your eyes could only face the floor, scared to look at him.
“Kei, we can’t keep this baby a secret,” you muttered.
“we won’t.” He answered, trying to reassure you.
you hesitated before looking up at him. “What about your agency? They’d kill you, we could get fired!”
“Then you and our baby are worth it” he said honestly.
“Kei..” you look into his eyes, honesty filling your shaky voice as you softly whispered, “I-I’m terrified.”
You couldn’t get anything out. It felt like you had a rock in your throat and you couldn’t breathe. Keigo could see this, how scared you were, how when he held you, you trembled.
“Me too, y/n. I mean I’m scared shitless” he admitted with a small laugh.
“But you don’t have to worry.” he said, his hand cupping your cheek.
“I mean i don’t know what to do-“ his thumb caressed your tears away, as he tried calling you down.

Masterlist
✩。:*•.───── ❁ ❁ ─────.•*:。✩
* Disney is his favorite and you can't come between him and a good ass Disney movie
* Lilo and stitch is his favorite and you cannot tell me any different
* He quotes it every 2 fucking seconds and you giggle every time
* One time when he came home from work, he just laid on the floor and closed his eyes. You heard the door open but you were concerned why he wasn't coming into your shared room. You walked into the living room and just saw him laying on the floor.
* "Hawks what're you doing?"
* "Just leave me here to die"
* You weren't even concerned because you knew immediately where that quote was from and you giggled, grabbed a pillow and a blanket, then cuddled with him.
* Not only does he love Disney, he is IN LOVE with marvel.
* Every marvel movie? Watched at least 30 times.
* He watched them in order too
* Every marvel series? Tuned in every week.
* His favorite character? Wanda, Bucky, and Sam Wilson.
* I feel like he would connect with Bucky because they are both toys and don't really have any free will.
* Wanda I feel like he would see his kid self inside of her because she lost her parents, he lost his and they both just don't know what the hell to do. They found that one thing that gave them hope, for Keigo it is Endever, for Wanda it was Vision.
* I don't even have to tell you why he likes Sam aka The Falcon.
* HE BROKE DOWNNNNN when Wanda had to kill Vision in Infinity war.
* He wanted to watch WandaVision with you because he knew he was going to cry throughout the whole thing and you would bring him comfort.
* Best believe this man will take time off to go to Disney land/world.
* He rarely takes days off so his boss already knows what day he's gonna take off and where he's going.

Alrighttttt, how did you guys like it? If you have any requests or constructive criticism I would love to hear it. I hope you have a good day and thank you for reading. See ya!
A/N: This is more of a self indulgent fic than anything else. Been going through some things and figured people who were feeling down or anything else could probably use it too. Just really want Hawks to wrap me up in his arms at the moment. I hope you all are doing well and I’m very thankful for every single one of you. Thank you all for sticking around, I’m so thankful you all enjoy my writing so much.
Words: 1K
Warnings: Cussing and they change in front of one another but that’s literally it. All wholesome and SFW here.
You felt numb. Could numbness really even be a way to describe the painful emotions you were feeling right now? You felt as if nothing was going right for you, that things were crashing down around you. No matter how much you tried to pick up the pieces and put the broken shards back together, how painful it was for you to do so, it didn’t matter. Nothing made sense, and it was if you couldn’t get a win. You just wanted one win, just one. All your life, you always tried so hard to do the right thing, to be a shining light for people. But you felt like it was fizzing out, you felt like the light was becoming dim.
You felt yourself get up but didn’t really process it. You felt yourself walk to the bathroom before shedding your clothes and turning the shower on, again not really processing as you sat down to let the water run off of you. You didn’t realize how long you had been in the shower until you heard the door to it open up, seeing a pair of tan boots in your line of sight before you looked up to see your boyfriend, Hawks.
“Keigo....” you croak out, realizing that you haven't made a sound all day while being home by yourself.
“Baby,” Hawks sighs, his golden eyes filling with pain at the way you said his name as if you were far away, not really there. He shrugged his jacket off and you heard it land outside the shower with a wet thud. Hawks got down on the shower tiled floor before moving some of your hair from your face, his own hair now sticking to his forehead.
“Baby, the water is cold now. C’mon. Let’s get out, hmm?” Hawks asked sweetly but you shook your head. He knew that this is what you did when you needed to. He never rushed. You were thankful for him reaching over you and turning the knob slightly so it would make the water hotter. Hawks pulled you into his lap, brushing your hair away from your forehead as he pressed a kiss to it. Despite now being cold, your body warmed at his touch and you felt as tears fell from your eyes. Keigo was here now and everything was alright. But you were still hurting, things still felt as if they were crashing down around you.
“What’s going on?” Hawks mumbled in your ear as he held you close and you tried your best to hold back the sob that wanted to escape your lips.
“I…. Nothing is going right for me, Keigo. Stuff keeps going wrong and I don’t understand and I want it to stop.” You admitted, hiccuping on sobs as you tried to control your breathing. “It doesn’t matter what I do, nothing is going how I want or need it to. I just want a win, just once.”
You felt as Keigo petted at your hair, his other hand on your back, fingers rubbing soothing circles as you continued to vent. You finally stopped, feeling slightly better as you had told your frustrations. You felt as Keigo gently lifted your head before placing his forehead against yours, his golden eyes staring into his.
“(Y/N). You are the most important thing to me, more important than any mission that the hero agency assigns me to fulfill. I’m thankful everyday to wake up to your face and give you kisses till you're smothered with them. You’re trying your best in this fucked up world, kiddo. That’s all you can do, that’s all any of us can do. But I’m going to be there for you through all of it, you aren’t alone. I will never let you be alone.” Hawks said softly, and you felt the tears start to overflow again, spilling down your face. “You mean everything to me. You’re a fighter and I know you can kick this feeling in the ass. Fuck the people who don’t realize your worth, you’re the sweetest person I know and you have a light that shines brighter than the sun. Trust me, I’ve been close to it.”
Your heart swelled at Hawks’ words, and you placed your hands in his hair, pulling him closer to you. You wanted to disappear into him, to be protected from all the evil in the world. Keigo was your hero, not just the world’s.
“I don’t mind us staying in here, baby. But I don’t want you getting sick.” Hawks said before wrapping your legs around his waist and standing up, turning the shower off before taking you to the bedroom to change into dry clothes.
“Keigo… can I wear some of yours?” You asked softly, looking up at him with those eyes that caused his heart to stop every time.
“Course’ you can.” Hawks said as he retrieved sweatpants and a shirt for you, while drying himself off with a towel and changing. The familiar scent of Hawks embraced you as you changed into his clothes and you felt the dreaded pit in your stomach fade away into a warmth that spread through your body. Hawks quickly ran into the living room before you could say anything to him, bursting back in with your favorite snacks and blankets.
“Now, let’s turn that frown upside down and watch some of your favorite stuff!” Hawks said as he placed the blankets down, retrieving the remote to turn on one of your favorite movies. He settled down beside you before pulling you as close to him as he could. You felt as his wings pulled close to your body, the soft feathers caressing against your face as he looked down at you with a smile.
“I love you so much. Never forget that. Never forget the amazing person you are, either.” Hawks said, a bit sternly but you know it was only filled with love. You nuzzled closer into him, sighing happily when you felt his wings drape protectively over you. Hawks always had a way of making you feel safe, like he could protect you from everything in the world. He was your rock and you were grateful for him, always. His wings around you seemed to shield you from the world, allowing you to just be grateful for this moment with him, just to have him be here with you and be exactly what you needed.
“C’mon, it’ll be alright” Hawks insisted, wrapping both of his huge crimson wings around you “Hell to the no” You retorted “I don’t really feel like getting exploded today” Hawks chuckled at your response “Darling, do i look like the type of boyfriend who’d put you in danger?” he tilted his head with a playful smirk, you paused, staring into his golden eyes for a few seconds, before looking away “uhm.. No?” Hawks smile widened “Then trust me dummy”
It wasn’t your first time flying with Hawks, you loved doing it, the cold yet soothing feeling of wind on your skin, the sound of your boyfriend's wings flapping, while he held you tight to ensure your safety, it all made you feel warm inside.
But… You weren’t too convinced that flying closer to the fireworks in the sky was a good idea, despite their beautiful shapes and mesmerising colours, they were loud and possibly dangerous. Then again, you trust Hawks, and you know he’s not an idiot.
As you two approached the fireworks, they only got louder and louder, even if you were both decently far away from them, they’re thunderous sounds couldn’t help but make you dig yourself more into your lover's fluffy jacket. “Hm, what's wrong feather?” Hawks pulled you tighter, holding you almost as if you were a baby “Nothing, they're just.. Kinda loud” you turned your head to look at the fireworks, still burying yourself into his embrace.
Hawks looked around the sky for a few seconds, scanning his surroundings before taking off at full speed towards something “W-WOAH! HAWKS WHAT ARE YOU-” before you could finish, Hawks plopped you gently on top of a balcony. You weren’t too far away from your initial position, but it was far enough to enjoy the fireworks without so much noise
“Is this better love?” Hawks smiled, locking eyes with your own. You nodded in response, looking up at the fireworks once again. You stared at them for a while, admiring their colourful beauty. You occasionally looked over at Hawks hand. You really wanted to hold it, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.
Luckily, Hawks is a pro when it comes to reading your body language, and didn’t hesitate to gently grab your hand and intertwined his fingers in yours
Hoping to put out a soft Hawks fic tonight. Possibly a Drabble. It’ll be more self indulgent than anything else. Pls send good vibes/thoughts my way.
