4. Everything Went Wrong

"I think you have enough, Ms Fuyumi..."


He stopped her from taking another sip. That was the eight glasses of wine in the night. Hawks wanted to make her wasted on purpose. She might profess her hidden crush for him or told him Endeavour's embarrassing secret. However, he never thought Fuyumi would be a strong drinker.


"Nonsense! I can still drink more!"


He stood up from his seat. "I'll carry you home. Your family must be worried."


"Family?" She slurred. "Did you know what happens in our family?"


Ho boy. Hawks expected this to come out on their conversation.


"My father wanted a strong predecessor, so he trained my brother. My mother disagreed with his way but he did not care. He sometimes beat or pushed her for defending Shouto. One day, my mother had a mental breakdown and..."


She did not continue her word and cried. This was not new news for him. After all, Hawks was Endeavour biggest fans. Knowing this did not change anything. Endeavor was a shitty husband and father. Nevertheless, he was still a respectable hero. No one was perfect. Hawks exhaled a deep breath. Beating villain and saving civilian was his expertise, but solving the family problem was beyond his power.


"Why you did not leave them?"


"Because the family would be broken if I left!" Tears fell down on her cheek. "I am the only one keeping this family from falling apart! I have to do it! Or else mother will have no home to return! No one will take care of Shouto!"


Hawks could never take advantage of a sad person. He tapped her shoulder, hoping it would calm her down. "There, there. Feel free to cry tonight. I'll listen to all of your grievances."


Fuyumi sniffled on the table. She murmured incoherent sentence between her sob. Hawks paid attention to her story and sometimes nodded in agreement. Her cry eventually subsided. She was silent now. However, that woman gave him an eerie stare. Hawks felt quite uncomfortable at that stare.


"Now that I look at you closely. You're pretty cute..."


"Miss Fuyumi, you're drunk. I think you should rest."


She purred, trying to get closer to him. "Hmmm, let's take a rest together."


Only one thing flashed through his mind.


RUN!


Fuyumi caught him before he escaped. They struggled for a few minutes. She snatched the necktie from his clothes. Much to his surprise, Fuyumi overpowered him. The side effect of alcohol made her stronger. She pushed him down to the floor and flipped his position.


"Miss Fuyumi, stop! What are you doing?!"


"Making sure you're not getting away!"


Hawks shrieked inside his mind. "How could she be so powerful? Damn, Endeavour's gene is scary!"


Fuyumi bound his hand with necktie behind his back. The drunk lady took the whole bottle from the table. She dragged the poor man while chugging on the alcohol. Her face was red from booze.


"Yay! We're going to have fun!"


Hawks screamed for the top of his lung. Everyone was terrified to help. They avoided her gaze and stepped aside before bumping to her. Fuyumi lumbered to one of the employees who were late to flee. "Waiteeeer, do we have any booked room?"


The man checked the data with a trembling hand. "It-it's room number six hundred one."


She sneered. "I knew you prepared a room."


The waiter gave her the key. She continued dragging him in the hallway. Hawks covered his face in shame. That room was a gift from the chef. He never even thought about spending the night with her. The second hero just wanted to have a nice dinner with a gorgeous woman, nothing more.


They have arrived at the room after Hawks contemplated his life choice. He was shocked when Fuyumi threw him to bed. She sat on top of his body with a smirk on her face. That woman took off his suit and ripped his white shirt. Hawks screamed like a pitch high school girl.


"Okay, Keigo. You can use your quirk to immobilize.... Oh God, she is hot. When was the last time I was fooling around with woman? Wait, that's not the point! She is not sober and makes irrational decision... but I'll never get another lucky opportunity like this. DAMN IT, HER FAMILY WOULD MURDER ME!"


He moaned when her finger traced from his chest to his abs. Her hand was oddly cold and pleasant. That must be related to her quirk. She licked her upper lips and gazed at him with desire.


"You have a nice body."


Hawks did not know whether he was scared or aroused.


Maybe both.


Before Hawks made a decision, Fuyumi halted on the place. She was frozen stiff like a statue. This made him rather puzzled. He waved his hand in front of her face. "Miss Fuyumi? You're there?"


She stood up and vomited on the floor. Fuyumi never drank too much, it was only natural that her body rejected it. His excitement disappeared in a flash. She continued taking out alcohol from her system in the toilet. Hawks helped her by patting her back and gave her a glass of water. She became a bit sober after puking. That woman was incredibly embarrassed by her impulsive behaviour.


"I'm truly sorry!"


Hawks feigned fake tears. "To think you would rip my clothes like that..."


She now kneeled on the ground, feeling guilty from her action. "I'M SORRY!"


"Wait, I'm just teasing you. It's fine, please get up!"


Fuyumi was about to utter another apologize when they heard loud footsteps in the corridor. Endeavour, Natsuo and Todoroki opened the door. They saw Fuyumi on the floor with a messy gown. Hawks was standing in front of her without a shirt.


A cold sweat broke on his forehead. From any point, the scene looked bad.


Icicles and balls of flame came flying toward him. Hawks screamed when one of the ice almost impaled his head. Shouto and Endeavour stood behind Natsuo who carried a spiked baseball bat. They were ready to maul him.


"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH MY DAUGHTER, YOU TRASH?!"


"YOU'RE A SICK BASTARD! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"


"... Die."


Hawks stepped back. "This-this is a misunderstanding. I swear!"


No one heard his plea. They went all out on him without hearing his explanation. His plan went wrong in the worst way. Hawks should have listened to his fellow heroes. He cried inside, accepting the consequence of his deed. "At least I'm dying on the hand of my favourite hero.... Even though the circumstance is ridiculous."


"Stop!"


Fuyumi blocked their attack with herself. Three of them stopped in the air before assaulting the pitiful hero. He was grateful for Fuyumi's interference. His eyes were teary from the rescue. "Miss Fuyumi..."


Natsuo complained. "What are you doing?! Let me at least punch his face!"


"He didn't do anything! He helped me since I drank too much!"


"Fuyumi." Shouto gave her a sad look. "You don't need to cover for him."


"But-"


Endeavour shook his head. "Don't worry. We will take care of everything from here."


"Enough!" Fuyumi snapped at them. "I'm tired of everyone ignoring me. I-I..." She finally spoke her mind. "I'm sick with this family!"


Fuyumi pulled his arm. They ran to the balcony. "Let's go!"


"Wait, where?"


"Anywhere is fine!"


Hawks carried Fuyumi and flew away from them. None of them chose the couple. Fuyumi's words were stuck in their mind. Endeavour felt guilty since he made Fuyumi carried the family burden. Natsuo felt bad since he barely helped her. Fuyumi must stay in the house in exchange for their mother to nurture their youngest brother. That boy still stared at the dark blue sky, blurting out his thought. "Natsuo, did you notice it?"


"Notice what?"


"He carried Fuyumi in a bridal carry."


It took Endeavour and Natsuo a while to realize it. "DAMN IT!"
