Maybe sitting on the railing of your balcony and listening to music isn't a good idea. I may or may not have fallen backwards. You wouldn't expect that from a hero, so that just makes this worse. I was just listening to music and dancing a little to drown out the sound of nearby screaming fan girls and before I knew it, I was falling from my balcony. It's not super high off the ground, but it is high enough for me to break a ton of bones and possibly die. Apparently my reflexes aren't fast enough and before I could activate my quirk or hit the ground, I was caught by a pair of strong arms, well they have to be strong to catch me. Honestly I wasn't scared of falling because I know I can save myself before I reach the ground. It's happened before, usually almost right before impact. But this time, I was saved way before impact. My eyes scanned my surroundings and the hands holding me, then my savior. It was Hawks.

"Oh... hey there... can you put me down now?" I wasn't really impressed or enthusiastic to be in his presence.

"That's all I get? Not even a thank you?"

"If that's what it'll take for you to put me down, thanks for 'saving my life'." I said with quotations around the saving my life part.

"Wait a minute, I know you. You're (hero name) aren't you?" I simply nodded my head in annoyance, "Well how about that... someone's a clumsy hero. Luckily I was here to save the day. Guess that shows which one of us is a better hero." He teased as he lowered down to the ground. He finally let me go and I thanked him with annoyance in my voice and continued to do what I want.

After my little encounter with Hawks, he's been basically following me everywhere I go. If squealing fan girls can be heard nearby, I leave the area immediately, just to avoid him. We've gotten into a few squabbles about why he keeps following me. I'm not trying to be cocky or anything, but I think it's because he may have a crush on me. He's told me the opposite and said it's because he has nothing better to do and that he'd never be interested in me. That stung a little but not too much to where it hurt my feelings. Anyway, I was just walking down the street and talking with my friend after we just got some boba. Out of nowhere, Hawks lands right behind me and starts intimidating my friend. Hawks eventually scared him away and chuckled as he ran. I turned and looked at him with a pissed off expression.

"What the hell, Hawks? This is the third time this month."

"What can I say? I'm bored as hell. And you're fun as hell to mess with." He laughed as he hovered over me. I sighed and started walking away with him following of course.

"For someone who doesn't even like me, you sure do hang around me 24/7." I looked up at the flying bird man.

"For a hero you're awfully clumsy." He shot back

"Ha. Touché. I can't argue with that. At least I can admit it."

He followed me the whole way home. This happens quite often actually. Sometimes I let him in, sometimes I fight him off with a broom. The most memorable 'fight', if you can call it that, was when he was watching me through my window. He was sitting in a tree. I was in the middle of a mental breakdown and was looking at myself in the mirror with disgust. I was wearing nothing but undergarments and he knocked on my window which of course scared the crap out of me. I immediately covered up and grabbed a broom that I had laying nearby. I opened the window and began swatting at him to get him to leave. We were both laughing but I was still pissed.

*a few more months later*

I told myself I wouldn't become friends with him but... I did it. We got closer and I developed a crush on him. We actually hang out now and I don't fight him off with a broom as much anymore. Him visiting me and entering my apartment through the balcony almost everyday became a routine, he'll disappear for a while but come back eventually. Sometimes, and I never did this before now and wouldn't even think to do it, I grab one of his fallen feathers and mess with it just to get some kind of reaction out of him. He's usually annoyed or emotionless before he sees me. But I see the way his mood changes when we start talking. Usually he comes in and is all happy and goofy and hella flirty. It's been a few days since I've seen him which concerned me. He randomly popped up and it eased my anxiety. But today was much different. I hadn't seen him as much but he did come in from my balcony as usual. But something about him was off. He didn't smile or even smirk when I greeted him. He seemed distraught and fearful. His eyes were glossy and his face was red and puffy, which meant he was probably crying. It was strange seeing him like this, it hurt my heart to see him so... off.

"What's wrong, feathers?" I stood in front of him, looking into his eyes. He grabbed my hands and placed them on his face as tears fell down his cheeks. I wiped the tears away with my thumbs and he pulled me closer to him, "Hey hey. Let it all out, Keigo. I'm here for you, tweety bird. Tell me what happened."

"Kid, I'm so scared. I... I... please just listen to me, okay?" I nodded and continued to listen to him, "I... I've been working with the league of villains for the past few months... that's why I leave for a while then just randomly come back. I know how you feel about them and... I just didn't know how to tell you," I slightly retracted my hands from his face and he placed them back, "Kid please. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I was too scared to say anything because I didn't want to lose you. I love you. I want you to be my baby bird, my song bird, my everything. But I couldn't live with myself knowing or even thinking I was going behind your back. I'll give you the world kid. Hell, I'll quit this thing for you. I just don't want to live without you and I know I'm a selfish bastard and I haven't been the most honest but everything I'm saying is true. If you're mad at me I understand but I'm sorry. Please... say something, anything. Just let me hear your voice, even if this might be the last time we'll see each other." He squeezed my chubby/curvy body and buried his face in my neck as he sobbed. I pulled his face out of my neck and looked him in the eyes.

"Keigo, it's going to take me a while to adjust to all of this but... I love you too. It's okay. I'm not upset or anything, just shocked. We'll make it through this together, okay?" He nodded and captured my lips in a passionate kiss. He was still a little shaken up so I spent the rest of the night soothing and consoling my big bird man.
