[kingsbridgelibraryteens]

Middle School Monday: Everyday Hero Machine Boy by Irma Kniivila & Tri Vuong 

When Machine Boy crash lands into the domed city of Mega 416, he has protocols that he must follow, like destroying anything that he perceives as a threat. This leads to an epic fight with Goh, an old man nicknamed the “Karate Grandpa.” By the end of the fight, Machine Boy’s heart has been activated and his personality has completely changed, but Goh is already dying from a heart attack. Later, Machine Boy finds Goh’s wife Mrs. Kobushi, and they gradually learn to trust each other.

Machine Boy commits himself to helping others, but he still doesn’t understand enough about himself or his origins to know whether or not he could still be dangerous. If Machine Boy keeps doing good deeds, will it be enough to make up for the destruction he caused to the people of Mega 416 when he first arrived? Or is it too late to earn back their trust?

Give this graphic novel to older kids and younger teens who love science fiction, action, and stories that manage to be funny and heartfelt at the same time.

Warnings!: minor obsessive behavior, protective reader, vulgar language, fluff and suggestive content towards the end

You never thought you would give your entire life to protect someone. Give everything you have and do whatever possible just to make sure they're happy and safe.

But everything changed when you met Neteyam.

***

You shook slightly under the gaze of the four humans in their large mech suits. They stood over you, each holding a large gun they pointed at you. Your back was pressed against the forest floor, frozen as they yelled odd things you didn't understand. None of them spoke your native tongue.

You let out a meek hiss as one of the soldiers took a step towards you.

They all let out a noise you recognized as laughter at your attempt of intimidation.

"What should we do with her?" one solider said, though you didn't understand.

"I say we just kill her," another answered.

You notice something blue flash between the branches above you as the soldiers talk among themselves.

"No, we need to take her back. She might have some information of Jake Sully."

"I don't know anything, stay away from me!" you yelled in your native tongue, feeling your tail swish behind you.

"Shut up, na'vi!" one yelled, his mech's metallic hand grabbing your thick braids. You let out a wail of pain as he picked you up by your hair, lifting you high above the ground. You let out a sound that was a mix of a wail and a hiss as he stared at you through the glass veil of the machine.

He laughed once more but the sound was cut short by a large Na'vi arrow hitting his chest.

"There's another one!" the soldiers yelled as their dead comrade dropped you.

"Where is it?" one soldier yelled, only to be shot down as well.

You scrambled across the forest floor as the giant machines fell left and right, the humans within them killed effortlessly by some your mysterious hero in the trees.

"Come with me," a voice said in Na'vi. You looked up to see none other than the son of famed Toruk Mokto. He stood high on a root, his hand outstretched for you to grab, his bow slung over his shoulder. Your breathing became heavy as your eyes scanned him, still frozen in fear and shock.

"I will not hurt you," he said, holding his hand a bit farther. "Please just come with me."

The sound of gunshots behind you was what finally broke you from your trance. You ducked down and took the chief's son's hand, allowing him to pull you through the forest. The two of you ducked and swiftly avoided the large vegetation of Pandora before the boy pulled you under a large bush.

"Stay down," he said, holding you close against him as you stayed close to the ground. You felt your heart beat in your chest, adrenaline running through your veins. "Okay, we're all clear."

You watched as the boy looked up and over the bush before finally standing to his full height. You stared up at him, sure you had stars in your eyes.

"What's your name?" you asked quietly, still staring at the boy before you.

"I'm Neteyam," he answered, giving you a comforting smile. "What is your name?" He offered you his hand once more.

"Y/n."

***

Ever since that day, you had swore to yourself and Neteyam that you would do everything in your power to protect him. You trained everyday and even followed the Sully family to keep him safe.

And you did. Anytime Neteyam was in any sort of danger, you were there to defend him. And anytime he needed a shoulder to cry on, there you were.

Which now led to this moment.

***

"Who the hell did this to you?" you seethed, rushing into the Sully's small hut to see a bruised and battered Neteyam.

"I'm okay, sevin," Neteyam stated, giving you a small smile. "You should see the other guys."

"Neteyam," you frowned, kneeling in front of the boy. You swiped your thumb across his bleeding lip. "What happened?"

"Just an incident with some people," Neteyam said, smiling at your touch. He grabbed your hand and kissed it gently. "It doesn't matter, okay? Just leave it alone, sevin."

You frowned once more, your tail swishing anxiously behind you. "Alright," you sighed, pressing your forehead against his own. You let out a small sigh, pressing yourself closer to the boy you loved. "The others looked worse?" you asked, feeling Neteyam's ragged breath against your lips. He nodded slightly and you could practically feel his chest swell with pride. You smiled slightly before pressing your lips against his. "My mighty warrior," you whispered, pulling away.

"The mightiest warrior," Neteyam echoed, his hands grabbing at your hips. "Kiss me again, sevin." You chuckled before obliging his request. Neteyam let out a low hum as you pressed your lips against his. Your lips molded against one another, the faint taste of blood lingering in your mouth.

You felt your cheeks flush as Neteyam's arms wrapped themselves around your waist, pulling you into his lap.

"May I please know who it was at least darling?" you gasped, pulling away slightly, both of your chests heaving. Neteyam frowned at you, nudging his head against your chin. "Please, my mighty warrior," you whispered, running your hands against his chest.

"An'oung," Neteyam said quietly, pressing kisses against your throat and chest. "Now please keep going my Y/n."

"An'oung," you said to yourself. "Anything for you, ma Neteyam."

Sevin = Pretty

Summary:

Life isn't fair to those who don't take what they want   The sooner you take what is yours the happier you'll be   Now that Hawks finally has a family to call his own he won't ever let them go...

Characters: Hawks | Keigo Takami, Tokoyami Fumikage, Dabi | Touya Todoroki, Shouto Todoroki.

CW/Tags: Kidnapping, Parental Takami Keigo, Yandere, Stockholm Syndrome, Obsessive Behavior, Possessive Behavior, Stalking, Infantilism, Parental Yandere, Yandere Hawks, Animalistic Behavior, Animal Instincts, Forced Bonding, DabixHawks, Winged Tokoyami Fumikage.

If there was one thing Takami Keigo knew for a fact it was that his life did not matter in the grand scheme of things. His wants and needs would never matter to anyone. Before he was sold to the commission his mother neglected him, leaving him to starve and struggle to survive by himself; while turning a blind eye to his father abusing him. They never cared about him living or dying; they didn't even bother to ask the commission what he they wanted him for when they sold him. The commission trained him to be the perfect heroic puppet in daylight and a trained assassin by night. They beat him and tortured him to prepare him for the harsh battles he would fight when he was older. None of them cared that a six year old couldn’t consent, only increasing his punishments when he would resist the training. They tried to train all his bird characteristics out of him, calling them unsightly and abnormal. They shaved his talons and fangs down into bleeding little nubs, plucked his tail feathers, and punished him whenever he would release any bird-like sounds. For years he was convinced everyone would hate him if he let any of these traits show. 

He was just a cog in the machine; he would live his life running for other people until he finally broke and was replaced. It was a simple fact that he knew would always be true. That was until he was given the order to infiltrate the League of Villains. Then he met Dabi and he taught him how to be loved and appreciated in a way he had never known before. He taught him what had happened to him was wrong and that he doesn’t have to take the abuse any longer now that he was here for him. The league treats him like family; they are the only people in his life that ever truly cared about him. It really hurt that a government sanctioned commission could treat him so badly that villains were what he looked forward to seeing everyday.

He was conflicted about whether staying a hero was really worth it for a long time. Until he met his baby bird Tokoyami Fumikage. The then intern was just supposed to be a routine apprentice he took on for three weeks and would never have to see again. But unlike with his previous interns Hawks found himself absolutely infatuated with Tokoyami and his quirk Dark Shadow. He’s not sure if it's because of the avian nature of their quirks or how well they got along but at the end of the three weeks Hawks did not want to let Tokoyami go. The kid reminded him of a cuter version of Dabi. He had a sarcastic and serious personality but would often laugh and indulge Kiego in his games. The boy's little shadow was quite happy and funny to be around too, often blurting out things the other was thinking, but it was fiercely protective of its user and once even snapped at Hawks for simply trying to hug Fumikage when saying goodbye.

For weeks after the internship Keigo’s mind could not stop drifting away to think about Tokoyami. Would Tokoyami like this drink? That looks like a sweater Tokoyami would like? Does Tokoyami have a nest? Would he like this blanket for it? So much that it was distracting him on his partols, he got a particularly harsh punishment for it by his handlers. But he couldn't help it, his bird brain had latched on to Tokoyami as his chick and it was not letting him forget. Everytime he had to do something his mind would always lead back to his chick. Is he eating enough? Has he been preening his feathers correctly? Is there anyone there to keep him warm? Does he have anyone to play with? Is he happy?

Since Hawks couldn't stay focused he decided it would be okay to visit Tokoyami every once in a while… without telling him. It started off small, just him following the chick to school in the morning and then watching him walk back to his house. He had to watch out for his little chick since clearly no one was there to protect him! Then it transitioned to looking through his windows, planting feathers in his room to listen in, sneaking into his attic, coming through his window at night and watching him sleep.

What he realized while watching his chick was that his parents did not love him as much as he could. It's probably because he is so different from them. Neither parent had any avian quirks in their family histories when he researched their geneology. Tokoyami was a completely random mutation they were not expecting. They take care of him, give him basic necessities and don't abuse him but they don’t love him. They weren't even feeding him the correct diet for a hatchling for christ's sake. There were no hugs, no kisses, no affection whatsoever which isn't a crime but Keigo could do so much better than them. There was no way for him to get Tokoyami out of there legally because there was technically no abuse being committed. If anything he was technically committing a crime by watching a minor. He’s not stalking okay! He's just protecting his fledgling rightfully so. But if word ever got out about this his career would be destroyed.

He was comfortable with the routine just silently watching over his chick from the shadows. Until the commission informed him that they were looking into Tokoyami for the paragon program he had been raised in. They wanted to make him into a full time assassin. They thought his quirk would be great for taking out large numbers of people quickly. But unlike him Tokoyami would not be doing any daytime hero work since he has more physical mutations. The commission could never want someone like him in the limelight representing them. It took everything in Hawks that day not to murder the commission president for daring to even consider using his Tokoyami as an assassin. He knew his chick’s parents wouldn’t fight for him if the commission came knocking. He had to find a way to take his chick for himself once and for all.

So he confessed his sins to the league. He told them everything from how he grew up to how he was bought and raised by the commission. He told them about the infiltration mission and how he had come to love the little family they had despite the spying. And lastly he told them about his chick and the commission wanting to steal him and put him in the same program he was raised in. They were understandably angry at first, except Dabi, he knew the whole time, but they understood his situation and they would help him take down the commission and get his chick back.

He fought alongside the league to bring down hero society and won. Together they tore down the commission. He helped his mate kill Endeavor and give his family peace. It was finally over but… the little bird he was fighting for flew away. During the chaos of the war his chick had fled to god knows where with the rest of his class leaving him behind. His chick left him… Keigo did everything for him and he just left to hide away in some desolate hideout with some pest who could never treat him as well as he does. When he finds him he is going to smother him and love him so much he won't remember the life he had before Keigo. Tokoyami will be begging for him to never leave again once he is through with him…

Dark Shadow knew that while he was his beloved Fumi’s quirk he was also an entirely separate entity from his brother. He could feel what was going through Fumi’s head but Fumi could not do the same for him. He is his brother's built-in protector; he’s been caring for Fumi since he emerged as his quirk when no one else would. He could detect the danger Fumi couldn't feel and respond before he got hurt. So that is why he is so uneasy around Hawks. Their mentor always acted outwardly kind and warm to them but Dark Shadow could sense danger radiating off the man. This man could not be trusted around his Fumi. There was something very off about Hawks that Fumi couldn't sense like he could.

The entire internship he could not rest easily and he refused to retreat back into his brother when Hawks was around. It didn't feel safe to leave Fumi alone with that man. It all came to a head when the final day of their internship Hawks tried to hug Fumi and Dark Shadow lashed out beak piercing through the skin of the man's hand. Fumi had gotten really angry with him for that but he couldn't help it. That day the aura surrounding Hawks was suffocating, like a predator stalking their prey waiting for the perfect moment to pounce. From then on Fumi would not believe him when he said he felt Hawk’s presence. Fumi would argue that Hawks was so busy in Fukuoka that he would never have the time to come visit them. He would tell him to stop acting crazy but Dark Shadow knew that something was very very wrong, but Fumi just wouldn’t listen. 

Darks Shadow’s concerns had come to fruition when they turned on the television one day and saw a video released by Dabi detailing his life of abuse he endured as the son of Endeavour. The video ending only for a news broadcast to begin showing Hawks fighting alongside Dabi of the League of Villains, the duo successfully killing the number two pro hero. Shortly after Hawks released his own video detailing the abuse he went through during his time in the paragon program. He talked about how he was bought by the commission and was forced to sign a contract at six that meant he would work for them for the rest of his life. He announced that he was done being a hero and he was going to bring down all of those who've wronged him.

Dark Shadow had been correct but now it's too late for them…

As Tokoyami awoke his eyes wandered groggily, taking in the room he was in. The space was huge with enormous windows and tall ceilings. There were large perches made to look like branches high on the wall for birds to rest on and large divots in the wall near the ceiling for hiding. The ceiling looked tall enough for someone to fly in there. He was at the bottom of a large nest with tall sturdy but soft walls surrounding him. The nest was decorated with many soft pillows and fluffy blankets, it was making his avian instincts very happy. He was distracted cooing in the nest happily; it wasn't until he tried to call out to Dark Shadow that the happy haze taking over his mind shattered. He couldn’t feel dark shadow anymore. Why couldn’t he feel him? Then it all came rushing back to him. Hawks had kidnapped him. The mentor he trusted and cared for had betrayed him and took away his brother. Tokoyami was so lost in his thoughts he didn't notice the distress chirping he was releasing. The boy doesn’t know it but the distress chirp he was releasing is one used by fledglings to call for their parents.

He was startled out of his cries when something large swooped down from one of the upper levels of the room. The boy hadn’t realized there had been someone else in the room the entire time. Tokoyami’s feathers ruffled and his wing flared in response when he realized it was Hawks. Hawks eyes widened at the blatant disrespect Fumikage was showing the older avian. Flaring one's wings is an act of dominance in avians and his chick is clearly not the one in charge here. He knows it's not the chicks fault he doesn’t know much about his avian instincts but Hawks will not tolerate the fledglings insolent behavior. He is going to make Tokoyami understand that he is the flock leader and that he must obey him as his fledgling. Hawks opened his much larger wings, flaring them wide and began to stalk towards the boy while releasing ear-piercing screeches and warning growls. 

“W-wait wait Hawks please stop!” Tokoyami whimpered, the little wings on his back quivering. He didn’t know what he did to get the other man so angry but this is terrifying. He had never seen the other man act even remotely close to this, he was truly acting like an animal.

Hawks did not respond to the boy, advancing further into the nest. The boy was too small to escape the large nest, he could only try to crawl backward away from the angry avian. The boy released a terrified chirp when the man pounced on him screeching close to his face, the boy followed his base instincts, folding back his wings, bowing, and exposing his neck in submission, releasing more terrified chirps. The man loomed over the boy before sinking his fangs into the soft skin of the chick's neck. Hawks was asserting his dominance over Tokoyami and claiming the orphaned fledgling as his own. Tokoyami cooed softly as an foreign feeling overtook his mind and body. Suddenly it was like his mind couldn't register why he had been so afraid of Hawks anymore. His body wouldn't listen to him to get away from the man, his body and mind now think that Hawks is his father.

“Aw baby bird look at you~” Hawks cooed looking down at the boy in his lap, his claim had worked Fumi was docile and cooing back contently in his hold. Tokoyami was now imprinted onto him; the boy won’t be able to fight back even if he wanted to.

“Fumikage, look at me please.” Hawks asked gently cupping the distracted little chick’s cheek and guiding his eyes toward him.

“I'm your papa now. Things are going to be different now that I'm taking care of you. Your old parents, if you can even call them that, didn't love you the way I do. They didn’t treat you like the precious little boy you are so I'm taking over now. You know that this is for your own good right baby? Say yes papa if you understand.” Hawks asked, coaxing the boy out of his hatchling daze.

“Yes papa,” Tokoyami warbled out, his mind still hazy. He was sure whatever his papa was saying was true. Fathers always know what is best for their hatchlings.

“Can you turn around and lay on my lap baby? Papa wants to explain your new rules while preening those cute little wings of yours.” Hawks asked, chirping happily. His chick finally recognized him as his true father!

“Okay papa,” Tokoyami chirps, flipping onto his back obediently.

“Good boy,” The man trilled, he had been waiting far too long to preen his fledgling’s wings. He gently smoothed out the downy feathers, coating them evenly even in oil and picking out old broken feathers from past molts. The chick was reduced to a purring puddle on his lap, the poor never boy had anyone to help him with his wings.

“Now that I am taking care of you, you are going to have to listen to everything I say. Some things won’t make sense to you at first because you were never raised with other avians but you have to trust your papa okay. I know what's best for you and I would never hurt you, you just have to listen.” Keigo's cooed, fingers coaxing more oil out of the little gland at the base of Fumi’s wings rubbing it through the soft downy feathers, receiving more content purring from the boy in his lap.

“Okay papa… but what about Dark Shadow?” The boy asked through happy purrs. While his mind was easily replacing his distant parents, his heart would not forget his brother who cared for him more than anyone else has his entire life. Dark Shadow may be just a quirk but to Tokoyami he was his only real family for a long time. Which is pretty sad if you think about it.

“Dark Shadow will have to go away for a little bit because he is a danger to papa right now. In a couple of months once you get used to life with me then we can try to let him roam free but that won’t be for a long time.” Keigo tried to explain gently not trying to upset the chick but that clearly didn't work judging by the heartbreaking cries he was making.

“Shh shh you don’t have to cry baby, I promise you won’t be alone. You'll have your papa here with you at all times and then later once you've proven yourself trustworthy you’ll meet my mate and your new brother and be able to play all around the manor and attend school with your friends. Things will get better, it will just take some time to get used to, okay?” Keigo cooed, he was so excited to meet Shouto and have him and Fumi stay in his nest but that won’t be until later. His and his mates' nestlings both need a bit more training before that can happen. The boy just chirped in agreement, getting sleepy from the treatment his wings were receiving.

“Come on baby, let's take a nap.” The man whispered, laying back and curling around the boy enjoying the skin to skin contact and chirping contently. He finally has his chick safe and happy in his arms.

The next couple of months were bliss for Keigo, he had got what he had always wanted. His fledgling was finally under his control. At first it was hard for the boy to get adjusted to his mind running on instincts he’d never used before but he quickly got used to it with Keigo there to guide him. The boy was hesitant when it came to his new diet, eating raw meats was not something he had ever done before. He had refused to at first but after a stern nip from Keigo the chick accepted the raw food. Now the baby bird will even hunt down little birds in the garden for fun before eating them. The fledgling acted like they were attached by the hip wherever Keigo goes Tokoyami would follow, releasing quivering sullen chirps when he couldn’t. Keigo always had such a smug expression when he would watch the fledgling cry out for him. Just a couple of months ago, his boy wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. Now here he was absolutely crushed when Keigo had to leave, as all nestlings should be. 

Tokoyami was ready, his chick has not tried to escape even once in the time he has been here. Keigo wants him to meet the rest of his family but first, he needs to have a serious conversation with his chosen mate. His hands trembled as his thumb hovered over the call button before finally pressing down. The phone rang a few times before his mate picked up. 

“Hey pretty bird, what's up?” Dabi’s soothing voice rang out through the phone.

“Can you come up here for a bit? I need to talk to you alone.” Hawks uttered nervously.

“Yeah I’ll be there soon. Is everything alright?” Dabi asked, concerned with the other man's behavior.

“I’m fine, we just need to talk.” Hawks answered, ending the call abruptly. He knows Dabi loves him the way he is but still asking him to indulge in his more avian habits always makes him so nervous. The league has always been kind and never shown any disgust towards his more bird traits but he has never asked them to take part in any of them so he’s anxious about how Dabi will react.

The few minutes it took Dabi to come up to their floor felt like hours to Keigo. He wasn’t sure how his mate was going to react to what he wanted to do. The elevator ding rang out into the apartment as the door opened revealing his concerned looking mate.

“What wrong Kei? You sounded upset over the phone.” Dabi asked, he hoped the other man wasn’t trying to break up with him. Keigo belongs to him, they are solemates there is no leaving their relationship. They were made for each other, Dabi could never let his little bird go.

“It’s just that Tokoyami has been doing really well and I want you and Shouto to meet him today but…” Keigo's voice tapered off as he moved his eyes to look anywhere but Dabi.

“But what?” Dabi asked, tipping Kiego’s jaw upward and guiding his eyes toward him.

“You promise you won't get mad?” Keigo asked, golden eyes looking up at him through thick blond lashes.

“I could never be angry at my pretty bird,” Dabi said, soothing Keigo’s frazzled nerves.

“It's just I don’t know how to have a normal relationship. Red tailed hawks only have one mate for their entire lives and you are my chosen mate. And as my mate your kin become my kin as well. So I was wondering if when you guys come over to meet the fledgling can I put my claim on Shouto and can you put your claim on Fumikage? I want them to be mine just as much as they are yours but I don't know if you're okay with that.” He already thought of Shouto as his own but he wants to make it official.

“What kind of claim? How do I do it?” Dabi asked, relieved his little bird didn't want to leave him. He was quite pleased to know that his feelings were reciprocated just as strongly. 

“Oh it's just some bird stuff. If I claim Shouto as my son in front of Fumikage then the chick will instantly understand that they are now brothers and nestmates but for Shouto it will just be a quick little bite. Then you just need to bite Fumi’s neck and the chick will imprint on you as a parent as well. I understand if you don't want to deal with all this bird stuff. It's okay really a lot of people don't really like this kind of thing- ” Keigo’s frantic ranting was cut off by Dabi cupping his jaw and kissing him, effectively shutting him up.

“Keigo, I would never dismiss any of this kind of stuff. I know how important it is to you. You said you're in it for life well so am I, I want all of you. You don’t ever have to be afraid of telling me something like this. I am never leaving you, I accept all of you always.” Dabi crooned looking deeply into the teary golden eyes of his mate. He wishes he could burn down the commission all over again for making Kiego think all his avian instincts were unsightly and disgusting, his poor bird still can't shake their harsh words to this day despite Dabi telling him the HPSC was wrong and he loves him the way he is. 

“You really don’t mind?” Keigo asked, sniffling and wiping his teary eyes.

“I promise, I don't mind at all. I can get Shouto right now if you want. Shouto is so sweet he won't mind any of this at all once I explain it to him plus it would be good for him to have another father figure in his life. Lately he’s been staring longingly at Twice and Toga whenever they're around.” Dabi explained, his little brother clearly wants a father in his life and Dabi wished he could be that for Shouto but currently the boy only thinks of him as his big brother. Maybe once he and Keigo move in together and he sees how they interact both boys will come to see them as their fathers.

“You’re such a good mate.” Keigo swooned looking at Dabi through half lidded eyes. Keigo was irrevocably in love with this man who changed his entire world as soon as he entered it. He wishes he could find a way to repay Dabi in some way for all he has done for him. Well… he has some ideas but that will be saved until later after the kids are asleep.

“Glad you think so.” Dabi winked with a smirk, walking towards the elevator to retrieve his younger brother. As he rode the elevator down to his floor he thought about Shouto. He hopes he’ll be happy with this new arrangement, his brother has been missing the rest of their family so the addition of a new brother will be good for him. When the doors opened he strode towards Shou’s room opening the door only to find him napping contently while Bluey played quietly on the tv. The floor was scattered with toys, clearly he had been playing for a while before he fell asleep. Dabi didn't want to wake the sleeping cherub but he promised Kei he would be up there soon. Well maybe he can nap with the fledgling in their nest if he’s still tired. He’s sure Keigo would be happy to have both their chicks in the nest. He quietly approached the sleeping boy gently shaking him only receiving whines and grumbles in response.

“Firefly, it's time to wake up.” Dabi cooed down at his sleeping brother, shaking him a little harder when the boy would not respond.

“Nooo you said today was a lazy day. Leave me alone.” Shouto whined lifting up his blanket to cover his head. There was no school today and he wasn't planning on going anywhere, he just wanted to play in his room.

“Well plans change, come on firefly. I have someone very special to me that I want you to meet.” The man spoke quietly trying to rouse the grumpy child from his blanket den.

“But I already met everyone. Don't wanna go.” Shouto pouted from underneath his blankets.

“But Keigo will be sooo sad that you're not with me.” Touya cooed in a teasing tone.

“Were going to see Kei?” Shouto perked up rising out of his blanket den to meet his brother's eyes. It's not a secret that Keigo is one of Shouto’s most favorite people in the manor.

“Yes but I haven’t been completely honest with you. Do you remember how I described the relationship between everyone in the league?” Dabi asked most of what he had told Shouto had been true; he just left out the fact that he and Keigo were together…in a very un-platonic way…

“You said that you were all family. That Giri-san and Sako-san were the papas and everyone else were like siblings.” Shouto said in a very matter of fact tone. He didn’t know what his brother was talking about, Shouto did think Touya treated someone more special than anyone else in the league.

“Well that's mostly true except for Keigo and I aren't like siblings were a couple.” Dabi said hoping that's enough for his brother to understand. He really does not want to have the talk with Shouto today.

“A couple of what?” Shouto asked, confused.

“Okay you're a little confused and that's okay it's not your fault. What I meant was that when two people love each other very much they get into a relationship and love each other even more.” Dabi said, that's a pretty straightforward explanation even Shouto can understand right? 

“So are we a couple?” Nevermind, Dabi groaned internally. 

“NO! Ahem… Sorry I didn't mean to yell what I meant to say is no we are not. Couples are people who are not related to each other who get married and kiss and have kids together. Like in that show you like so much the mommy dog and the daddy dog were strangers at first then they fell in love got married and had babies. Do you get what I'm saying?” Dabi asked, he can’t get any more blunt than that Shouto is clearly still too innocent for that. God, how do you even begin to explain love to an emotionally stunted kid who has never even seen a healthy relationship in his entire life.

“Oh” Is all Shouto said, a shocked expression on his face suddenly over taken by a jealous one.

“Does this mean you're going to have a baby?” He doesn’t want a new baby to take his brother's attention away from him.

“Firefly, you are the baby.” Dabi said, amused by his little brother's jealous pout.

“Anyways I’m bringing this up because since we're together and you're my baby that makes you Keigo’s baby too. Keigo was wondering if you would like him to be your papa. He already sees you as his kid since you're mine and you'd have a new brother to play with.” Dabi explained. It's not like Shou has a choice, it's going to happen either way but he would like his little brother to think his opinion matters.

“A new papa?” Shouto whispered looking at his big brother with stars in his eyes. He has never had a papa before, only a cold and cruel father who did nothing but hurt him. And a new brother! Not that he doesn’t love the siblings he already has but they're all so much older than him, having a brother his own age sounds like so much fun! Who did Hawks take again? 

“Okay, Let's go!” Shouto said excitedly, wiggling impatiently as his brother got him ready for the day. Dabi dressed Shouto in a cute soft set of pajamas with kittens on them, not bothering to dress him in real clothes because he's most likely just going to fall asleep as soon as Hawks is finished with him. He finished brushing the boy's hair and placed him on his hip heading towards the elevator. The farther up the elevator went the more subdued Shouto seemed to get. When the doors opened he hid his face in Dabi’s neck not looking towards the avian approaching them.

“Hi Shouto! Did Touya explain what's happening today?” Keigo cooed trying not to scare the new fledgling.

“Mm hmm” Shouto mumbled into Touya’s neck.

“And you're okay with it?” Keigo asked, watching with adoring eyes as the boy peeked out of Dabi’s neck to slyly nod in confirmation before hiding once again.

“Yeah,” Shouto answered shyly, still hiding.

“Wow, such a good boy. Dabi, follow me.” Hawks exclaimed in an exaggerated tone similar to one used when trying to sooth a young child. He led them toward Tokoyami’s bedroom, opening the door and motioning for Touya to place the boy in the nest with his other chick.

“Tokoyami?” Shouto asked, perplexed, he had forgotten Tokoyami had been one those that had been picked to be part of the family. He wouldn't call him a close friend or anything but they got along well during the period when they were in hiding.

“Todoroki? What are you doing here?” Fumikage asked bewildered, this is the first time he's seen anyone outside of Hawks in months.

“Well remember when I mentioned you meeting my mate once you were a bit more settled into life, well this is him and his child, your new brother” Hawks explained gently wanting the transition to go as smoothly as possible. 

“Dabi, come here.” Keigo motionted for Touya to enter the large nest. He picked up Tokoyami and placed him in the other's lap. The boy shifted uncomfortably sitting in the other villain's lap sending distressed chirps towards Keigo.

“Fumikage behave.” Hawks said sternly, giving him a warning nip as the chick began to struggle in his mates arms. The chick settled down and allowed Dabi to tip his head to the side exposing his neck.

“You're going to need to bite pretty hard for him to get it since you don't have fangs.” Hawks said as he watched his lover sink his teeth into Fumi’s neck watching the chick's eyes glaze over.  

“Look at him Kei” Dabi whispered, looking down at the boy chirping and nuzzling into his shirt, big hazy red eyes staring at him adoringly. Huh he could get used to having two adorable little birds in his life.

“Yeah he’s imprinted pretty hard, now it's Shouto's turn,” Keigo said, watching his mate and his fledgling fondly. Turning to advance towards the frightened looking boy. Tokoyami’s hazy eyes widened as he watched Hawks pounce onto Shouto pinning him down, the boy screamed towards his brother for help.

“W-wait what's happening?! Nii-chan help!” Shouto yelped whimpering when Keigo opened his mouth revealing a set of sharp fangs.

“Calm down firefly it's okay this is just a ritual avians do when welcoming new members into their family. You’re going to be okay, I promise.” Dabi cooed from the other side of the nest, watching his lover slowly sink his teeth into the soft flesh of his brother's neck.

Shouto whimpered as he felt sharp fangs painfully sink into his neck, squeezing his eyes shut as tight as possible feeling tears escape them. Then as suddenly as they were there the fangs were gone and there was something soft and wet lapping at the wound. The sensation made him giggle, it tickled. He opened his eyes when he felt himself being pulled off the floor of the nest and being nuzzled by two birds. As scary as that was he was glad he has a new papa and brother even though his papa is kind of scary. 

Tokoyami felt that fuzzy feeling taking over his mind as he was claimed by Dabi and watched Keigo claim Todoroki as his fledgling and his mate as their father. Suddenly he could no longer see just a distant classmate, this boy was his nestmate and the other villain is also their parent. And his brother is in distress! Fumi quickly crawled out of Dabi’s lap and to the other boy's side nuzzling him and releasing soothing coos trying to make his little brother feel better. He calmed down a little once his brother started giggling from their father tending to his wound. He screeched as he pushed their papa out of the way and curled his body around his brother. Papa was the reason his brother had been in so much distress, he watched him with narrowed eyes releasing warning growls when he would get too close to his brother. While snuggling this close Fumikage could hear his brother tummy rumbling, he released demanding hungry cheeps toward their papas to get him food for his little brother. 

“Alright alright I'm sorry. If I go get you the food will you forgive your big bad papa?” Keigo asked, raising his arms up in the air with an amused smile on his face. Well Fumikage definitely sees Shouto as his little brother now. 

“What’s he saying?” Dabi asked not fluent in bird talk.

“He's angry I made Shouto upset and wants me to go get them a snack. Come on, let's go fix them up something for lunch.” Hawks explained laughing when he heard Dabi snort as he followed him to the kitchen. Fumikage is clearly attached to Shouto now; it's fine if they leave them alone to bond. He doubts Fumi is going to want to leave the nest with Shouto in there acting like a nestbound hatchling. 

As they made lunch, Dabi making Shouto a quick grilled cheese with tomato soup while Keigo made Fumikage an assortment of raw meats,fruits,and nuts, they talked of their plans for moving in together. They originally had thought they would have to wait a little longer to officially move in together but seeing that the boys get along so well they could do it a lot sooner. When they were done preparing their food they walked to the chick’s room with the food in hand only to find the boys sleeping curled around each other like a pair of kittens. Hawks trilled excitedly seeing both his babies resting in the nest while Dabi shook his head fondly. Oh well they can nap for now, they'll put their food away for later. They tipped toed out of the room not wanting to wake the nestlings and settled down on the couch. Keigo resting in Touya’s lap, the pair couldn't help but think life couldn't get better than this . Heroes are over and their chicks are home safely in their nest, they can finally have the peaceful family life they've always wanted.

A couple months later

Life has been bliss for the little family. Dabi and Shouto have moved into Keigo’s floor leaving their old floor vacant for when the rest of their family is found. The chicks have since gotten closer to each other, practically attached by the hip. They go to school together, eat together, play together, sometimes they even find them sleeping together in each other's rooms. Though that is mostly because none of the other kids are ready to play yet. After the Izuku incident the others have really cracked down on their kids, not allowing them out unless they are 100% sure they are ready. 

The pair are quite the handful, always getting into some sort of trouble together more often than not, resulting in time outs and sore bottoms. There was the time they wanted to test if Fumikage could actually use his wings to fly or if they were just superficial so they decided to try to jump off an eight story balcony, turns out they do work he just didn't know how to use them. Thank god Keigo was there in time to catch him. Or the time they were playing hide and seek with Twice and Toga and they decided to hide in a trash can and were loaded into the back of a garbage truck. They only got to them in time because they got an alert from their collars that they had left the manor, Kiego had flown out just in time to see them screaming as they were dropped into the truck, he then had to chase down the moving vehicle to retrieve his brats.

Hawks never knew having children was going to be this exhausting. Dabi being the more experienced of the two when it comes to children just said the boys were testing them and that all kids did it and they would calm down soon. While it was exhausting they were happy that the boys felt comfortable enough to act out with them. They know that neither boy ever had the opportunity to do so safely in the environments that they were raised in and they were glad the chicks felt safe enough to do it with them. 

The only problem now was Dark Shadow. You see, recently Dabi decided that he would be taking off Shouto’s quirk canceller. The boy has been getting sick recently with no explanation. When they took him to the doctor the man explained it might have to do with his body temperature and what he has grown up being used to. Before Shouto had to wear the collar he rarely get sick because of the temperature his quirk made his body naturally, so with it gone his body isn’t used to not having the extreme temperatures of his quirk to kill of all the bad germs, without it his immune system is doing terribly trying to make up for the lack of quirk. So they took off the collar. They trusted the boy fully and wanted the best for his health. Though they did replace it with a tracking bracelet for safety.

Fumikage saw Shouto with his collar off and questioned why he couldn't have his off too. It broke their hearts when they saw one of their chicks crying that they don’t trust him. They tried to explain that it was a different situation since his quirk is sentient. It's not that they trust his brother more, it's just that they don’t trust Dark Shadow. This just led to more tantrums, Shouto joining in because he thinks it's unfair they weren’t being treated the same. After a week full of tantrums, crying, and several punishments they eventually agreed that they would try to release Dark Shadow to try to talk to him but neither boy could be present. They sedated Fumikage while Shouto was sent off to be watched by Magne. They unlocked the collar and out came the huge roaring shadow. Dabi unleashed a burst of bright blue flames to keep Dark Shadow at bay. The shadow decreased in size but stayed just as loud.

“What did you do to Fumi?!?!” Dark Shadow screamed, still trying to lash out despite his small form.

“We didn’t do anything to him, he’s happier now than he’s ever been” Keigo spoke truthfully.

“DON'T LIE TO ME! Just because you take away my ability to come out doesn't mean I'm not there. I can see and feel everything happening to Fumi. So I’ll repeat what I said before. What did you do to him? ” The shadow growled raging against the light keeping his form small.

“We didn’t do anything to him honestly.” Hawks said, raising both hands in the air in a placating manner.

“You're still lying! I can feel that you have done something to Fumi’s mind; he's running solely on some sort of chain of command he can’t fight against.” Dark Shadow growled, there is something very wrong with Fumi’s head he hasn’t acted like this since he was very small.

“Oh that, that's just our avian instincts you know bird to bird.” Keigo replied since he is the eldest avian that makes him top of the chain.

“NO I DON'T KNOW YOU FUC-” Dark Shadow screamed, cut off by another burst of flames. Contrary to popular belief he is a quirk that has nothing to do with birds at all. His user is shaped like a bird so he is shaped like a bird. He knows nothing about avian instincts, he isn’t even a bird himself. He is just a shadow with consciousness and the ability to fight.  

“Okay, simmer down little shadow. We didn't let you out to have a screaming match. We came to negotiate. The fledgling has been wanting to see you for months and we are willing to allow you to have contact with him if you follow our rules.” Dabi said sternly. 

“As if I would bow to the likes of you scum. I'd rather kill you all and take Fumi with me.” Dark Shadow spat venomously. 

“You seem to forget who's in charge here, Dark Shadow. All it takes is one quirk erasing bullet and you're gone forever. We already have Fumi, we don’t need you, all this is for his sake. So you can either cooperate with us and help protect Fumikage or you can be erased. Though I suppose you can also remain dormant if you'd like but I’m sure Fumi will be devastated when we tell him you purposely chose not to see him. The choice is yours.” Hawks purred a teasing smirk on his face, he was bluffing obviously he loves the little shadow and doesn't ever want to get rid of him. He's a part of Fumikage and Kei loves all parts of Fumi, though this particular part is going to be incredibly difficult to manage given the massive amount of power it holds. He needs Dark Shadow to think he is disposable to them, that with the flick of a wrist they would erase him. He needs him to think if he ever steps a toe out of line he will be killed so he never dares to use that immense power against them. 

“I want to see Fumikage. I don’t care what rules I have to follow to see him.” The shadow grumbled angrily looking to the side. He’s doing this to save Fumi, he would do anything for the boy even if it means he gets erased. 

“Good boy Dark Shadow, we knew you would make the right choice.” Keigo smiled.

As much as he would like to rip these villains to shreds and steal Fumi away he has to stay calm. He’ll gain their trust and take Fumi away from here when they least expect it. For now he'll just have to lay low and behave until the opportunity arises. Don't worry Fumikage, I'll fix whatever they did to your mind and get you out of here I promise…

drowning in it

oooooOOOO he was not in the last episode but he was in my heart and that's what counts. i've had one single paragraph from this in the wips for months and it wasn't even supposed to be about shouto but i was down to clown and now i give you this. wc: 2.2k cw: some mentions of childhood abuse/neglect (shouto), very much fluff, reader has an unspecified quirk

Shouto was not, despite all that he was, quick to catch on.

You couldn't blame him. You'd been the best of friends since childhood—the quiet, brooding boy in class quickly became the target of your attentions, and—as he began to allow it—your affections. Even as children, you saw a need to coddle him, to look after him—there was no one doing it at home, after his mother was sent away. Although he did not indulge you with what did happen at home, the bruises and fatigue he wore like a second skin told you enough.

You'd bring him extra fruit or small bowls of rice that you could sneak out of your mother's kitchen. And after your mother caught you doing that (and promptly scolded you for not telling her sooner), she'd sent you with a second lunch to school everyday. The two of you would sit underneath the flowering trees and eat—in silence most days, but sometimes you would chat about your school work or your future plans. His aspirations never changed—he wanted to be a hero. The greatest. Over the years, you'd wondered—the greatest to whom?

There was no need to ask. You spared him the pain of having to answer.

You'd been a constant in each other's lives since then. You'd grown up together, way too fast—you'd both felt the lasting scars of living through war, physically and mentally, and you leaned on one another. After graduation, you decided to move in together. It really was never a discussion—school ended, Shouto texted you a link to a vacant apartment listing, and you both moved in. It had been just the two of you since then, albeit in a roomier apartment now. The money came with the climb in ranks, and you now overlooked the entirety of Musutafu. The sight often had you reeling. Shouto was something grounding. A reminder of where you'd been.

Now, both working as full-time heroes, you were like a well-oiled machine. During a battle, it was hard to know where you ended and he began. You were not his sidekick—you were his equal. So it was unsurprising to all when you opened up your own agency together. You spent most of your days together—most missions you did in tandem, but there were some that were better suited to Shouto's quirk or to yours. In those cases, you'd be apart—and you felt every stinging second of it.

You weren't sure when your feelings became more than what you'd consider appropriate for a friendship. You'd always had a close relationship—when he finally allowed physical contact when you were children, he didn't let you stop. He was constantly making sure he was in your reach—playing with your fingers when you'd walk side by side to lunch, leaning on your shoulder during a lag in the fighting over the years, now resting his cheek on top of your head as you watched a movie on your couch. He'd always called you by pet names, terms of endearment—you never questioned it. There was a part of you that wanted it that way—a part way larger than you were willing to admit.

But it was different now. The brush of his fingers against your scalp by way of a greeting sent a shock up ever nerve in your body. The drawl of his voice in the morning settled in your gut and writhed. You'd watch him, sometimes—eyes tracing the angles of his face and the line that differentiated him. You weren't able, despite your best efforts, to stop your face from flushing when he'd catch you.

Today was no different. You hadn't looked away fast enough, and immediately you regretted it.

"Are you sick?" he asked you, reaching out to grab your chin, turning your face so he could study you. You held back a groan.

"What?"

"You're hot. Are you not feeling well?"

You could've laughed. You could've cried. You might've done both, if the mortification of being caught hadn't taken over.

"No. I don't know," you mumbled out, kicking yourself for the non-answer that he surely would pick up on.

And he sure did.

"No, you don't know?"

"I just," you started, feeling the exasperation crawling up your spine, "didn't sleep well, probably."

"Do you want to take a nap? None of this needs to be done right now," he gestured to the stacks of paperwork you'd been chipping away at, "we could lay down for a little while."

Your heart ached at his concern for you. It ached because you needed it more.

"No," you sighed, trying to stop the tone of your voice from spiking, "no. We both have work to do and I won't keep you from yours."

"It's not a problem, we could just—"

"I said I'm fine, Todoroki."

He blinked, silent, and you regretted every word you'd ever said up until now. Snapping at him was uncalled for, and he was only trying it help. You scolded yourself internally, mustering up the courage to apologize—

"Todoroki?" he repeated, almost indignantly.

Your eyes met his, and you had no idea how to decipher what was in them. He raised an eyebrow at you, and you fought the urge to shrink away from him. He didn't need to do much to get his disappointment across.

"When do you ever call me that?"

You paused, letting out a breath. You were glad he wasn't upset about your outburst, but you weren't expecting him to get like this about his name. You hadn't thought it'd mattered to him what you called him.

"Sorry," you muttered, resting your forehead on your palm and looking away from him, down at the table in front of you, "like I said, I might be a little tired. Let's just finish this quickly."

You reached for another stack of papers and he met you there, wrapping his fingers around yours.

You reeled back from him like you'd been burned.

There was a pause, and neither one of you moved a muscle. You felt his eyes on you, but yours were stuck a stray crack in your dining room table. You traced the fray and thought about how you begged Shouto to get this old thing, rather than buy a new one. You’d told him your place would be too stuffy without something with character. You wondered if he’d want to keep it if whatever sort of confrontation this was turning into went south.

“My love,” he started softly, reaching out again, pausing just short of your fingers that were clenched tight into a fist, “have I done something wrong?”

You met his eyes then, and the overwhelming concern you saw there broke something loose in you. You felt the prick of tears behind your eyes, and like always, you didn't look away fast enough. You shot back in your seat—moving the chair back several inches with you—and looked to the ceiling, squeezing your eyes shut tight with the hope of keeping the emotion that had you wound up inside yourself. It was unfortunate that you had spent so much energy fighting back something that ended up finding another escape route through your mouth.

"I can't do this anymore," you whispered to the ceiling, cursing every word that crossed your lips.

In standard Shouto fashion, he was beside you before you'd gotten the last syllable out.

"I told you, we don't have to do this right now—"

You did laugh then, short and bitter and regrettable. Despite yourself, you kept talking.

"Not the paperwork. This. With you. You are everywhere all of the time and I just," you sighed, running a hand through your hair, tightening your fist around the strands until it ached, "I can't do it. This... anymore."

You heard him take a step back from you, heard him draw in a sharp breath. He was quiet for far too long. You didn't dare look at him.

"You don't want to live with me anymore?"

You looked at him then, and you'd never seen him look so visibly hurt in all of the years you'd known him. You'd sooner break your own legs than ever have to see it again.

"What? No, of course I want to live with you, I just—"

"Have I done something wrong?" he asked again, and something in the tone of his voice shot you right back to twenty years ago—when he'd laid his head in your lap and opened up about his mother for the first and only time. Even at five years old, you heard the way he shoved the emotion down.

Did I do something wrong?

"Shouto, you didn't do anything wrong," you whispered to him, stepping toward him. He looked away from you, down at his hands—you reached for one, gently taking his cool fingers inside your own.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it like that. I just," you paused, searching for the words that had apparently been cut off despite you not being able to stop them a second ago, "I'm having a hard time...dealing with how I'm feeling."

He looked at you then, but didn't say anything. You took it as permission to continue.

"I love living with you," you told him, giving him a watery smile, "I really do. I love having breakfast with you, sitting together on the couch, making you watch those stupid cartoons with me, doing all this fucking paperwork," you choked out a bitter laugh and paused, trying to steady yourself. The tears were back and you weren't sure you could stop them from where they were headed now.

"I'm afraid I love it too much," you whispered, quiet and broken and enough to snap him out of it. He rushed toward you with open arms, but you held out a hand to his chest, feeling exactly where the line that halved him lie underneath his sweater. It stopped him in front of you, and he moved to hold a warm hand over your own. Holding yours there.

And with all of your fleeting bravery: "I'm afraid you'll hate me if I do."

And it was the truth—you'd been terrified that he'd feel taken advantage of, or betrayed somehow. It was easy for you to imagine, considering you'd been one of the only constants in his life that had stuck around this long. You couldn't bear to feel his disappointment that you'd turned out like the rest—selfish in your need for him, for him to be something for you. You hated that you couldn't even deny it—the way you wanted him was completely selfish. You couldn't stop it. You'd tried.

You'd been stuck in your own thoughts for long enough that you didn't notice he'd moved until his face was inches from yours. He still held your hand where it was, cradled to his chest. He was warm, and you had to fight a shuddering sigh at his proximity and the way he flooded all of your senses.

"Please," you begged, nearly silent. Your eyes were stuck on the way his jaw clenched. You wished he'd spare you—to shoot you down quickly and get it over with.

"My love," he whispered, strained, and it was all the warning you had before you were crushed to his chest.

His arms moved to surround you, then— wrapping around your shoulders and your waist, holding you to him. He pressed feather-light kisses into your hair, your forehead, your hairline. He let go of the hand he'd still had pinned to him, reaching up to grab your face and pull you up to look at him.

"I thought you knew. I'm so sorry."

You froze—unable to look away but still unable to speak.

"I—you. Huh?"

The corners of his mouth turned up a bit at your stuttering, and he pulled you into him again, pressing several more kisses to your hairline.

"I love you," he said into your hair, and your whole body went rigid against him, "I have loved you. I should have told you that."

You clung to him, then—let every word permeate deep inside you, settling somewhere that had been untouched until now. If you thought about it, you supposed he had told you, by way of action—waking you up with tea on lazy Sunday mornings, leaving you notes when a mission called him away, running baths for you after you'd returned from your own.

The battered boy who had nothing had given you everything, for all of these years. You loved him so much that it ached.

"I love you," he said again, and you realized it was in response to the thought you'd evidently vocalized.

You looked up at him, bringing your hand up to rest on his chest once more—settling over his heart. The beat against your palm was strong and constant—he leaned into your touch and it made you smile. He took your face in both hands and brought you closer—his bangs tickled your forehead as his eyes met yours.

He let his head drop until his forehead met yours, and you closed your eyes, breathing him in. Letting every part of him move through you like water, letting him flood you.

"Please kiss me," you whispered, and you felt the exhale against your lips as he let out a quiet laugh.

And then his lips found yours, and it was only you and him. All it ever was, all it ever would be. You poured every single day spent loving him into the kiss, all of your hurt and your fear and your tenderness into him, needing him to feel it. You swore he did the same—kissing you with such urgency it overwhelmed you completely. He was soft and hard and brutal and gentle—a wave to crest over all others that you knew would drag you under.

You leaned into him and let it.

Mario Cart Besties

Or wild and Sky knew eachother in Mario cart.

Oh also I’m confusing yall with two Legends one of them is Wild one of them is Legend but Legend isn’t rlly relevant it will make sense trust me. 

………

The coarse sound of carving slid  through the chosen hero’s fingers as the once bland block of wood took shape. Another one? He knew Zel- Sun, would say. Sometimes his mind wanders back to how the new-Hyrule was doing. As much as he loves her, Sky still thinks it should be called Linkrule, as he technically was the one who got Skyloft down in the first place, but he won’t argue, Sun really does know best, she’s a leader at heart. 

Thwack

“Aye sleepyhead look at that!” Legend’s familiar gruff voice rang through the forest, “Wild’s got a unicorn machine- or something?!” 

…

“You’re telling me you’re going to race on that?” Link couldn’t hide back a smirk, “At least let me help you get on, for Hylia’s sake-“

“I heard that Link! Don’t slander my name!” Zelda yelled from the bleachers, flaunting a faux scowl, “But help the poor boy out!” Yup, she may be Hylia but still is his Zelda at heart. Link flashed an innocent grin as he ran over to the other.

“Please, let me help you up, you look like you’re going to topple over.” He sighed, “I’m Link by the way, what’s yours?” 

The boy scrunched his nose and gave him a skeptical look, “What do you mean your name is Link, that’s mine.” Wow, other Link was rude. “I mean then again, I’m seeing a short red colored man riding Din knows what, so I guess I shouldn’t judge.” Other Link adjusted his glove, revealing a small spark of triangular shaped light. 

“Legend,” the Skyloftian gasped, reviving a confused look from the other, “Can I call you Legend? You know, because you’re also a hero of Legend?” 

Other Link - now dubbed Legend flashed a mischievous grin, “Only if I can call you Master Shortpants.” He tossed over a postcard, “It looks like it’s for you, and it’s from LD something.” 

Master Shortpants returned the smile, “Alright Legend.” 

…

Final race, Hyrule Circuit. The chosen hero marveled at how advanced the world around him has become, standing at Third, Legend in second, really puts into perspective the true art behind these races.

“Ready Master Shortpants?” 

“Only if you are, Legend.” 

…

“Hey,” Sky stood up from his seat, and reached into his pocket, “Remember this?” A flash of gold flickered in the champion’s eyes as he gazed into the trophy. 

“Master Shortpants?” Wild’s voice hesitated, unsure of if his brother was, also his brother? Time stuff is way too confusing, thanks a lot, Mario. 

“Glad to see you, Legend.” 

“What do you mean you’re glad to see me? You see me everyday for Hylia’s sake!” The veteran grumbled.

“Don’t slander Sun’s name!” Sky grinned, gazing at his brother.

“Unless you wanna topple over!” The duo’s hands slapped together, “But seriously, can you help me up? It’s been a while since I used this thing.” 

“Of course, Champion.”

“Okay what the f*ck is going on???”

LOLLL

                                          ✧･ﾟ    𝐃𝐀𝐒𝐇 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄.  

► 𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐍

★  ⸻  BASICS

NAME: Raffael Dolan  NICKNAME(S): Rafe  AGE: 29-34  SPECIES: Human

★  ⸻  PERSONAL

MORALITY: lawful / neutral / chaotic / good / gray / evil RELIGIOUS BELIEF: Protestant but not religious VIRTUES: chastity / charity / diligence / humility / kindness / patience / justice PRIMARY GOALS IN LIFE: Well, he used to want to get back into the military. He did his basic training after he turned 18 and wanted to combine it with his primary interest that is mechanics, aspiring to become a mechanic in the military. But after his little accident there is no way he could achieve that anymore. So as of right now he’s struggling to find one. I’d say his primary goal in life is to find a goal again before his current state of mind wrecks him completely. LANGUAGES KNOWN: English SECRETS: He keeps everything a secret that concerns his brother’s “business” and what exactly he does to make sure things run smoothly. He makes up lies in front of his parents and they believe him bc hey, he’s the big, responsible one of their boys. Why would he hide anything? His brother Rachel knows that Rafe works for Marky but not that he’s running around, intimidating people in exchange for drugs. Nobody but Marky knows about his substance abuse and even Marky has no idea that Rafe occasionally steals it, too. If it comes out it’s gonna be ugly.

QUIRKS: He tends to misplace his keys the whole time although he uses almost all of them everyday. Same goes for cigarettes he puts behind his remaining ear, he just forgets about it and then gets pissed because he can’t find it. He doesn’t have the best memory, really. Apart from that he always parks his vehicles at work in the same order for no apparent reason and usually lets either the TV or a radio play in the background. He likes background noise, it puts him at ease. SAVVIES: He knows pretty much everything about car mechanics since he runs a local car workshop and apart from that, also a lot about other things related to engines and machines. He likes to figure out how things work and how he can get to make them work. He’s a fixer.

★  ⸻   PHYSICAL

BUILD: slender / scrawny / bony / fit / athletic / herculean / babyfat / pudgy / obese / other HEIGHT: 6′1 SCARS / BIRTHMARKS: Well, his face is pretty much scarred beyond recognition, just as a lot of his general left side from the bomb incident. Sometimes you’d be able to find cuts on his arms that are either self-inflicted or due to defending himself if one of Marky’s customers or friends lashed out. Older scars can be found on his shoulder and clavicle as he had a bike accident when he was 14, breaking both in the process as he fell. ABILITIES / POWERS: Rafe used to have a good stamina but due to his current lifestyle that declined a lot. However, he’s still physically strong when it comes to lift stuff or dish out. He still follows a small workout routine. RESTRICTIONS: Rafe’s deaf on his left ear and also almost fully blind on his left eye. It impairs him in his daily life and was a problem especially at work, but he never wanted to ask for help or that others even know how much it bothered him. He was always the one who helped, not the other way around. 

★  ⸻   FAVOURITES

FAVOURITE FOOD: Chicken and Waffles FAVORITE DRINK: Dr. Pepper FAVOURITE PIZZA TOPPING: Chili Peppers FAVOURITE COLOR: Dark Orange  FAVOURITE MUSIC GENRE: Hard Rock and Metal FAVOURITE BOOK GENRE: Listen, he hasn’t picked up a book since the ones he had to read in High School. FAVOURITE MOVIE GENRE: Action Comedies and Super Hero Movies (if that’s even a genre) FAVOURITE SEASON: Summer FAVOURITE BUTT TYPE: He refuses to answer that xD FAVOURITE CURSE WORD: He uses ‘hell’ quite a lot for someone who went to church a lot tbh FAVOURITE SCENT: Campfires and freshly mowed grass FAVOURITE QUOTE:  "Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue." - Bruce Dickinson

★  ⸻   FUN STUFF

BOTTOM OR TOP: Oh he’s a switch but leans more towards Top I’d say? LOUD BURPER OR SOFT BURPER: Loud. SINGS IN THE SHOWER: Oh yes, totally. LIKES BAD PUNS: Yeah but he doesn’t crack them himself. THEIR OPINION ON THE MUN: Honestly, he doesn’t care about me or acknowledges me really right now.
