HELLO. I have not posted in the longest, I apologise! I don't have anything ready for ya, but I got a pov i wrote on a yt comment

"I'm here!" Hawks closed the door behind him with his foot as his hands were preoccupied. It was a little weird not hearing your voice immediately after he entered, but maybe you hadn't heard him. He shrugged it off and made his way to the kitchen, where he dumped the groceries he'd bought. A little gesture he'd hoped you'd appreciate.

Afterwards, he dipped his head into the living room, a little surprised at not finding you there. Hawks explored the house a little more before it hit him. Where else would you be, besides your bedroom?

Hurriedly, he opened the door with a grin, hoping to see you sprawled on the bed as usual, doing whatever you were. He'd pictured how brightly your face would light up; it's all he could think about today.

Hawks' heart sank once his eyes landed on you. Some papers scattered in front of you on the bed and you sat right there, fat tears rolling down your cheeks. The way your teeth dug into your lip as sobs wrecked through your body had his heart sinking even further. It was as if you forced yourself to stay silent, like you would get caught having a justified moment of weakness.

It was exactly like that. You'd learned that if you were ever going to allow yourself to cry, the least you could do was stay silent.

"Aww, baby." Hawks was quickly right next to you. "What's wrong? Is it your work? I'm not the brightest, but I can always try helping?" Fuck, he knew he wasn't the greatest at comforting you, or anyone for that matter. "Is it really that hard?"

You felt a little ashamed at getting caught, but once you'd started, the tears just wouldn't stop flowing. A stressful piece of work had just been the breaking point for you; you'd held it together for so long. Too long.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't. This... all this work, and all this stress and all these problems and I'm trying so hard-- and I'm trying so hard, Keigo, but I just can't. I can't." Your voice turned into a whisper at the last part you said through your tears. Wiping the tears away did nothing but bring more, so you buried your face in your hands.

He peeled your hands away, taking a closer look at your face. Your red eyes were so puffy, your cheeks stained with tears. You didn't want him looking at you right now. He could look anywhere but at your disheveled self.

Keigo's arms pulled you into his chest, his wings keeping out the rest of the world by enclosing around you. The physical form of comfort had you sobbing even harder and you hid your face in his chest. "I'm just so tired, Kei."

"Let it out, little bird. Don't ever apologise for not coping. You've been working so hard, just let it all out."

And you did. No longer scared of being judged, being insulted for your moment of weakness, you cried. Hawks whispered nothing but phrases he thought were reassuring. Yeah, he wasn't the best with emotions, but he knew just how comforting you found his arms. How protected you felt when he enclosed his wings around you. 

Your safe little haven.

An hour later, and all the willpower had just been knocked out of you. Your head had a dull, pounding ache and you were still sniffling every once in a while. It was safe to say that Keigo's shirt was soaked. After sitting you down again, he cleared the bed of any work, took off the feathers making up his wings and lay down, signalling for you to rest with him.

Hawks' goofy self with his side comments was nowhere to be seen; all that mattered right now was you.

"We're gonna be laying here for a loooong time, because you really need to rest. Over my dead body will you be doing anything else the rest of the day."

His hand stroked your back slowly and softly, soothing your tired mind."You'll be okay, Y/N. You've always been okay, and you will be. You're allowed to not be okay right now, okay? Your favourite hero is right here." He pressed a kiss to your forehead.

"And I always will be."
