Catch Me if I Fall - Hawks x Fem Reader [CANCELLED]

Chapter 14

I walk into my cubicle, sitting at my chair and pulling out my notebook. Letting out a sigh, I get to work. "Hey hey pretty bird" A familiar voice calls from above me. I look up, my eyes widening with glee as I see the blonde-haired man peering down at me from above the cubicle wall. "Hawks!" I exclaimed, standing up to run around to him. Throwing my arms around him, I pull Hawks into a much-needed embrace. "Sorry I've been so busy lately, hon, hero work's really been kicking my ass lately." Hawks chuckles, at which you roll your eyes. "Right." You reply, Hawks not taking note of the blunt response. "Hey, let's skip work today and go out. We can go to Shintencho and look around at all the stores." Hawks says, pulling you out of the embrace, his hands on your shoulders. "Sure, that sounds pretty fun." You say with a small smile. Hawks flutters his wings a bit in acknowledgment before taking you by the hand and leading you out of the building.

Shintencho was only a 10 minutes walk from Hawks' HQ in Fukuoka, so the two of us took our time walking there. Being with him again was nice, it having been the first time in a few weeks that I had gotten to properly spend time with him and it made me happy. I missed the calm moments like these where we got to be normal people, Y/N and Keigo, not Hawks the hero and his significant other. It was honestly quite refreshing that we were able to act as two, everyday people again. However, I could not help but feel as if things between him and I were moving too fast. It had dawned on me that Keigo and I completely skipped over the friend zone stage and just jumped straight to being in a serious relationship. Hell, this all started cause I got drunk in a bar and he was just able to take me home. Sure, I'm a believer in love at first sight, but everything just felt... rushed. 

"Y/N?" Hawk's voice snaps me out of my thoughts, I look over at him. "Hm? Did you say something?" I ask, shaking away my thoughts. "Oh, no you just looked a bit troubled. Something on your mind?" He asks. "O-oh.. no I'm fine. Don't worry about it." I say with a small smile. He looks at me for a moment, scanning my face before shrugging a bit. "Right. Anyways, where do you want to go first?" Hawks asks. Oh, we were already at Shintencho, how long was I lost in my thoughts? "Ah... How about *Moriya?" 

Hawks and I arrive home after a long day of walking around and shopping. I set my bags down in our room then walk back into the main space where I find Hawks waiting for me on the couch. I sit next to him. "Something's up with you, Y/N. Talk to me" Hawks uses a wing to pull me closer to him. I peer my eyes over to him before letting out a sigh. "I don't know..." I shift myself a bit to a more comfortable position. "I just feel like things are a bit... rushed between us. Don't get me wrong, I love being in a relationship with you, I mean who wouldn't dream of being with their favorite hero; but, I don't know, it just dawned on me that we just jumped right into a relationship, completely skipping the steps that are supposed to come before. I mean, I'm already living with you and we've only been together a few months" I stop, realizing that I was just rambling on without letting Hawks speak too. Looking up at him, I see a confused and somewhat upset look on his face. "I.. don't mean any of that in an 'I don't want to be in a relationship anymore' kind of way, trust me. I just feel like so much has been happening over the course of the past few months, and adding on a full-blown relationship to all of it is just- overwhelming." Hawks sighs, brushing a hand through his hair. "I get what you mean, Y/N, and thank you for telling me. I suppose things between us have been going a bit fast and I guess I didn't realize it until you brought it up." I nod. "If you want, I am completely ok with slowing things down a bit from here on out." I nod once again, humming in agreement. "Right then, it's getting a bit late, so how about we get some sleep?" 

It's been what? 3 months since my last update? Yeah... I've had a busy summer ;-; I promise that I will try start updating more frequently tho! It just may be hard with school starting soon (I am going into junior year please lawrd save me T-T I am not ready to take 8 classes) Anyways, I am very much out of content to put in this fic, so PLEASE give me ideas as to what you all would like to see! In the mean time, I am working on a Sebastian Michaelis x Reader (gender-neutral) as well as revising this fic so that it is gender-neutral as well. Thank you so much for sticking around with me, and I will see you all next chapter! <3
