Your Beautiful Wings (Hawks x OC - BNHA)

Feeling This

Unable to get into Sayomi's apartment because she was sound asleep, Hawks walked into his own. She would be fine on the bed for now, and he could take the couch. After he kicked off his boots, the man walked straight into his room and placed her down on his bed. It was a fight to get out of her arms, but he eventually managed.

Making his way back into his living space, he threw his jacket and shirt off, before rummaging through his clean laundry basket to pull out some clothes for the night. A quick shower later and he found himself unable to leave his bedroom doorway. He was by no means tall, but she was somehow smaller than him, his bed dwarfing her further still.

As he eventually managed to force his feet to move, she rolled over to look at him, her red eyes glowing sleepily in the low-lit room.

"Keigo..." she murmured.

Her voice caused a shiver to run down his spine, the hairs on the back of his head standing up. The old magazine articles about her, that he was unashamedly reading, weren't wrong when they said her voice could soothe a monster. Even though he told her to call him Keigo two months ago, she always defaulted to Hawks.

"Keigo," she murmured again, "It's cold..."

It's like she existed to torture him.

Making his way over to the bed, he leaned down to her, "Would you like another blanket?"

"No..."

That voice again.

"Warm me up..."

Dear god. She's so cute.

Unable to tell her no, he crawled right under the blankets with her, covering them both up once more. Immediately, she practically melted into his arms, her nose right back in the crook of his neck like it was when they were flying.

At least I get to enjoy it now.

It wasn't long before she was sound asleep again, her quiet snores filling his room. Hawks didn't know if she wanted to sleep too, or if he just wanted to lay there and listen to her breathe.

He had only known her for a couple months, but she never ceased to amaze him. She left Pro Hero work only after a couple years to pursue other interests, but still helped everyone, even in the middle of the night. Worked three jobs even though her father was a billionaire CEO, just because she wanted to be independent. She pushed through with a smile, even if she had nothing left to give.

As he continued to marvel at her life, the place where her hand was pressed against his chest started feeling warm, and suddenly he was filled with a gentle sprinkling of joy and amusement. He felt her happiness and could almost hear her laughter from within him.

"Whoa..." the word escaped his lips before he could stop himself.

So this was a taste of her uncontrolled subconscious. It was beautiful.

"What do you think about me, Baby bird?" he whispered in her ear, almost willing her to think about him or dream about him, just so he could experience it, good or bad.

Hearing his voice made her snuggle in closer, her leg taking up residence between his as her face pressed harder against his neck, her lips almost touching his skin but not quite; like she was trying to hide herself in him.

He closed his arms tighter around her, surrounding her with his warmth and wings. As soon as he wrapped around her, the places that she was touching him seemed to come to life.

The feeling of laughter remained in his chest, but his head was soon filled with the feeling of a tender touch and the smell of the rushing wind. Something that felt almost like love was racing through his veins and swirls of red and pink filled his eyes.

"Ohh..." he whispered, enraptured by her.

He pulled himself as far away from her as he could without letting her go or waking her, just so he could take a breath.

The way she thought of him made his heart sing. She would never tell him to his face, he knew that. He knew that she hid her true feelings most of the time, as a way to control her quirk. But he was glad he knew now, even if he couldn't act on it.

"If I was a better man," he whispered in her ear after he caught his breath, "I'd move away from you now and let you sleep on your own."

He kissed her forehead softly.

"But I am a selfish man, so I will stay right here. You may yell at me in the morning."
