tw: gaslighting, victim-blaming, stalking
    âKeigo? Ya ainât supposed to be here ya know? daddyâll get mad at you again. He doesnât tolerate hardheaded boys like you.â you huffed. âCâmon. Sit down here.â
    You tapped on the wooden bench after swiping away the molecular debris bathing in the sun. Keigo followed, his wings closing as he walked up to you with a nonchalant nimbus.
    âWho cares? I can just quickly fly away from him. Iâm the fastest birdie in this town in case you forgot!â A smug smile rests on his baby face as he puffs with confidence â showcasing the large pair of wings emerging from his back. Its bright red tint intensifies as the light from the sun refracts through its compacted feathers.
    His amiable nature was almost as intrinsic as it came like his wide, red wings. There was always that smile plastered on his face that you had gotten accustomed to for having to see him multiple times in a week for years after your family had moved into town. Keigoâs a very sweet child, you had no qualms about that.
    There was no help in getting you to erupt a laugh at his silly behavior; besides, even if it was his face, a smile would curve every time. He joins your laughing fit a little after being caught off-guard, blinking in a discombobulated manner like a kid when it comes to Mathematics.
    The union of laughs slowly dispersed, taken over by a dead silence. A swift shift in the ambience was all it took for you to become morbidly depressed once more, bereft from the sweet happiness from Keigo. It didnât take for him to utilize his sharp senses to figure out your current feelings.
    His eyes travel down to your hands, sharpening as he takes note of your faint fiddling. âYâknow. Iâm almost turninâ six. Daddyâs doubtinâ if Iâll ever get my quirk.â
    A frown enraptures your face. âAll the doctors weâve gone to have said the same thing too. I just have to wait for my quirk.â
    Leaning against the bench, your sight fell to the gorgeous sunset with its aureate shades. You feel yourself sinking deeper into your seat as the sun dipped further into the horizon. It would have been so good if you could just pull your quirk out from this stupid sunset.
    sigh. âBut I donât know. Itâs so hard to keep myself from doubtinâ. People always say I should believe.. itâs easy forâm to say that. They already got their quirks.â
    In a sudden movement, he grasps your hands into his. His grip has a tender sensation that subtly massages the stress out of you, leading your eyes from the tips of his fingers to the crease between his brows. The small twinkle in his eyes shouts his desperation, but his lingering emotions tell something else.
    â[name]. Trust me when I say this. I know youâll manifest your quirk soon.â He says through locked eyes. âIâm holding your hands, arenât I?â
    âWell.. Yeah.â
    âSo... donât ever let that frown get the best of your pretty face, okay? It doesnât suit you and never will.â
âYou.. you think Iâm pretty?â
    âAnybody on this planet would have thought so the moment they laid their eyes on you, [name].â
    The dim fire in your soul, for once after many months of being with him, was finally enlightened. You know it too. It was seeping into your blood circulation and raided your entire internal system, a conflict raised within the marrows of your bones when that very same fire had already filled your body and soul and was spreading over the hand sandwiching yours like a plague.
    It can be seen within his eyes, filled so much with hostility yet so much light. His black pupils dilate inconspicuously at that same moment you drown into the rocky layers of his dirt eyes. The way the edge of his lips faintly twitched up that slowly displayed his adorable smile lines.
    He was experiencing something so trite and unique coming from the source of his constant desire, and it was intensified by the sheer glee you felt at that moment.
    Your father often brings up how special you look to him as he dances with you in the living room, and that heâll always fall in love with you every time because you were his special little baby. The neighbors coo at your soft features, that your face was definitely a carbon copy of your father. But whatever they said to you had yet to reach the level of happiness you felt when you heard the same boy your father was not fond of refer to you as pretty.
    It could never compare to it. The raw emotion swirling in your soul shows how much it wounded you.
    The two of you had separated and leaned against the bench, watching the sun float down to rest. A mixture of purple and orange hues painted the skies with an ethereal beauty an artist wished to capture its essence.
    âThank you. You were so sweet to say it to me.â
    It was heavy in your chest when you ran that moment in your thoughts again. A blooming friendship killed in season for no concrete reason, just the absence of his presence that flashes in your mind every once in a while.
    Time passes in an instant and now it has been more than a decade since youâve activated your quirk. Dead memories of him torment you more than his recent debut as a pro hero confidently fleeing with the serene clouds up in the skies.
    He might have achieved his dream already. Without you too. His empty promises stabbed you in the heart, and what twisted it was the fact that you were gullible to believe you would be there by his side always.
    You remained in your fatherâs farm to help him handle it due to his old age. It was better than sulking for some stupid broken promises. Your quirk was rather useful in your fatherâs fields tooâfrom the food down to the soil.
    After Hawks vanished as though he never existed in the first place, you and your daddy arranged an appointment with your doctor. Your quirk had manifested, and the doctor explained a rough idea of how it should work.
    Your quirk was magnify; itâs the ability to enhance a part of an object. For instance, if you touch the hand of somebody in love, their feelings will intensify. It does not work on quirks, unfortunately. Additionally, youâd develop migraines whenever you overexert it and might be bedridden for a day or two.
    Starting from that moment, you trained your quirk to its limits, brainstormed alternative ways to use it, and attempted those theories. Some were successful, while othersâyou tried your best.
    It proved itself to be useful in your daddyâs farm and you didnât regret having to be in the safest place in the world. It was quiet and simple. Didnât have any prerequisites to just survive and you were honestly thriving in your home.
    You sighed in the early rays of the cheeky sunrise. It was too early to see that old face in the television with an accomplished life and new dreams stemming from his milestones. His wings have brought him to the dusty clouds of your shared mountain, while your fists grasp onto whatever rock was there to push you above.
    A routine you looked up to was now soured. Around these hours, youâre supposed to check on the farm animals. The chickens were due to lay their eggs today, the pigs and horses supposed to be fed, and the sheep in your barn you first have to wake up so it would accompany you throughout your day.
    He wasnât exactly a dog, but heâs got the spirit of one. Loyal and helpful, can also help relieve your anxiety and stress while being a comedic baldy when getting his wool sheared.
    You knelt on one knee before petting him and peppering him with morning kisses, a routine you slowly developed from nowhere.
    âThe only handsome guy Iâll ever give a sweet kiss to.â
    He leaned closer to your touch. Your soul felt more light than before, and your tarnished mood was instantly built again. Sometimes, a girlâs best friend is just a dog under the disguise of a sheep who is sweet.
    âOkay now. Iâll give you more scratches after we do everythinâ, alright? We need to start our morninâ fresh and early, Shawn.â
    You could feel his internal whine through his short onomatopoeia, giggling at his silliness as he trails behind you.
    Upon marching your way to the chickensâ coop, you hear a rustle near the tall trees you passed by. Both you and Shawn looked at it suspiciously, but only one remains to keep eyeing it while the other brushes it offâbelieving it was some bird they disturbed.
    You looked back after noticing Shawn wasnât catching up to you. âShawn! Whatâre you doing there?â
    He doesnât listen to you, but blankly gapes at a particular tree. It was eerie how he did it out of the blue, because usually he wouldnât do this unless there was something lurking in the shadows.
    âShawn..? Câmon, boy. There ainât nothinâ in that tree.â you hear flaps and rustles from that tree again. âSee? Itâs goinâ away now.â
    The sheep advances slowly, while keeping an eye on the trees. He dismisses it anyways as he comes running into your arms.
    âYâknow, boy. You should stop freakinâ me out like that.â you leaned into his height and raked your fingers into his curls.
    âI know, I know.â you stand, returning to the pathway leading to the chickens.
    Entering through the fenced gate, you locked it up again to prevent any chickens from escaping their home. They were already up and going, playing with each other or hooting on the roofs of their coop.
    They quickly trail after you as soon as they hear the familiar noise of their food being held. They gather around you, ready to devour the food you were about to give out.
    After you activated your quirk, you tossed it around the ground, moving from one spot to another. It was after you decided to check up on their hays to see if they had laid any eggs.
    To your luck, there were. You collected them on your little basket, whistling a tune your father used to do often.
    Unbeknownst to you, Shawnâwhich remained outside of the fence waiting for youâsuddenly blurted another one of his shenanigans out of the blue, causing you to be alarmed and ran over to his spot.
    What you didnât know is that your Shawn was actually the perpetrator no matter how quaint his sheep noise was. And your gullible self remained standing as the victim tried to push Shawn away with his enormous red wings.
    You doubted yourself. Should you help him or not? Maybe you should continue collectinâ the eggs.
    His voice was what broke you out of your abstract trance, and having to catch an eye contact with his scarred eyes. There was a lot that said about his eyes no matter how laid back it appears to be, something you couldnât pinpoint.
    Youâd always think about it too every time heâd be on one of the channels in the television. An insincere longing for something, someone. His eyes exploiting his thoughts even if it was hazy with his orange glasses, you could see it even in your dreams.
    An empty obsession, was it? or perhaps, his love?
    â[name]!! your sheep is so scary!â
    He hides behind your back, concealing himself from your manâs peripheral. Your violently harmless sheep walked away with an attitude though, as soon as he knew he couldnât do anything to Hawks anymore.
    âYeah, stop touchinâ me with ya filthy hands.â you yanked your arm from his fingertips. âWhyâd you suddenly visit me, hm? After all these years?â
    You were in a safe distance from him, arms crossed and a brow raised. âDo you know how lonely I was? thinkinâ you died or somethinâ but no. You just went ahead and left me behind.â
    âIâm sorââ
    âI cried so much, Hawks. Your pitiful apologies wonât cut it. Youâve done damages way past your expectations.â
    âI know. But.. I wouldnât have done it if it wasnât for your own good. I wanted you to be better, [name]. You were sick.â
    He advances, hands reaching out to touch yours like it was before.
    âBut.. itâs fine now, right? Even when I was gone, I kept you safe all these years, [name]. I couldnât bear to see my darling get hurt because of the world.â
    âHow? You were never there to begin with.â
    âOh, but youâre wrong. I left a feather near you. You remember my quirk, right? I trained it so hard so I could keep you safe, and thatâs how we end up here. If you werenât such a silly girl back then, I wouldnât have left.â
    His arms engulfed you, pulling himself closer to your body. You allowed yourseld to melt in his embrace, and tears flood his attire.
    âYou crying?â
    âPiss off, you traitor. Told ya to not touch me..â
    He chuckled, resting his hand atop of your head. His calloused hand gently rubbed your hair before he planted a kiss against it.
    âOkay, okay. But I have to tell you something, [name].â He pulled away from the hug.
    âWhat?â you wiped your tears, eyes still grazing his soul.
    âIâm a lilâ hungry, to be honest.â
    âIâve got some eggs over there. We can cook them.â you pointed to the chickens, a small basket left on the floor sitting idly. âLet me pick them up and we can go back.â
    âMâkay. Iâll wait here.â He smiled at you. He couldnât honestly believe that you were here again, in his arms. After all these years that heâd been waiting.
    Your stupid father was always preventing you from seeing him, threatening him with empty words as if some farmer in the middle of nowhere could do something against him. Heck, the police might even suspect your father instead with the way he looked.
    But, it was fine honestly. He didnât regret choosing to hospitalize that bastard. Although, he does regret not doing it earlier. Otherwise, he would have swept you away like the princess you were. He pushed that illiterate fool down the stairs with only a single feather and it costed him a broken leg.
    Whatâs better was that after being admitted to the hospital, the doctor had figured out he actually had a chronic disease growing inside him. He couldnât go back home for some time which was enough for Hawks to gain your trust again.
    Even after all these years, you remain gullible. Always chewing his lies and swallowing them as if his words would do you good.
    His feathers usually followed you around when he was free, checking you out every once in a while. Perhaps, saving some candid pictures for his business later in the late evenings where he yearns for your company.
    His silly obsession first began more than a decade ago, when he holds your hands as children with innocent intentions. Back then, you didnât know that you were actually activating your quirk on him. He already knew though, and heâs grateful for what youâve done to him.
    His sweet darling, unaware of what youâve done to him. You were at fault here too, using him as a tool for your quirk. He got hurt by it, but it was fine. It was you, after all.
    Someone who was better off without him. But, he canât stand it, can he? No man other than him deserves a lady like you. A smile so sweet and contagious, it sends cavities in his wide grin.
