Hawks wasn't there when I woke up in the morning.
Glancing at my alarm clock, the time read 5:27am, and the sun hadn't even risen yet. At first I thought that maybe it had been a vivid dream, but when I moved to roll over, the crinkling of paper made me realise it had been real. Scooting up until my back rested against the headboard, I flicked on the lamp and picked up the note, squinting to read it.
Sunshine, sorry I had to leave before you had a chance to wake up. I really am glad that you're willing to give me a second chance. I hope you won't regret it. I will come and see you very soon, and we can discuss the fight for liberation. Under the magazines on your dresser I have left a copy of the book I gifted Endeavor, so I hope you can give it a read as soon as possible. Don't worry about the agency, I'll ask the guys to keep things running so you don't have to juggle so many things. I have to keep my phone off for work, but I promise I'll be in contact. I've got a lot of making up to do, so I'm going to see if the two of us can have a few days to just be together. Somewhere quiet and secluded, without having to worry about anything else.
I love you,
Keigo
At first, I thought it was just some stupidly long letter, but after reading it over and over, I realised that some letters were a little bolder than the rest. Not by much, but they spelled something out, and I quickly became concerned. Who was he working for? What was the goal? Why the fuck hadn't he done this in the first place?
Ugh, I've got a headache...
There was no point in trying to get back to sleep, so I started my day, making sure to have a long, scorching shower to get the ball rolling. I knew exactly what I had to do today, and I wasn't looking forward to it. I adored Natsuo to the moon and back, but Hawks was a part of me that I couldn't shake. It would only be cruel to continue on.
"Great..." I groaned as I stepped out onto the balcony, raindrops spitting down from the ashy grey heavens. It would start to snow again, soon, and I didn't exactly want a third costume upgrade. Ducking back inside, I retrieved one of Hawks' old visors, slipping it over my eyes before I took flight so I would at least avoid being blinded by icy rain.
It was still far too early to go and speak to Natsuo, so I decided to drift around for a while, which of course led me to buying a half-dozen bag of anpan and knocking against Endeavor's office window. When he lifted the blinds, he looked at me as though I was the biggest idiot in the world, but let me in anyway.
"Special delivery for the brute with the fire quirk who might be nice enough to warm me up so I don't catch a pneumonia." I chuckled as I flew in, immediately deactivating my quirk and handing over the soggy bag, which was thankfully only one of three layers I had requested.
"On days like this you should really consider public transport." Endeavor sighed, hovering his hand over the top of my head and activating his quirk just enough to act as a heater. Removing my borrowed visor, I shook it out, then ran my fingers through my hair so it would dry a little.
"Yeah, well, I'm a dumbass, plus I needed to clear my head."
