Hawks X Fem reader Oneshots

Paintings part 2

Heat rushed to my face as I Gawk, "I don't-"

"Kidding" he sung lightly.

"O-of course. I-"

"Mail" Koji interrupted coming in.

"Koji I've told you to just leave it-"

"Its not for you" Koji hissed handing me a letter

"For me?"

"Your name is on it" Koji shrugged heading back out

Hawks looked over my shoulder curiously as I opened it. It was a letter sent along with a pendant.

Dear (y/n),

I hope this letter finds you well. Unfortunately I do not send this with the brightest future. This letter could be my last. You see I have made a grave error. Painting was my passion but I have mistakenly painted someone who is stronger than you or I who now wishes for my head. A powerful enchanter who has threatened to make me anything but whole.

I went to a wise man for guidance and am to follow his instruction. I leave with you a piece of myself that has been sealed in a pendant. I fear for the worst and that my fractured being will seek it out. My wish is for you to throw this piece of me to the sea, so my body will be drawn to where I long to see again and remember who I am.

I hope you can do this my dearest friend,

Lady Naia

I closed the letter before letting Hawks read over my shoulder, "I must request a carriage"

"Unfortunately I must deny" he sighed

"Why?" I ask without thinking

"I do believe there is the chance of you running away" he smiled, "But if you wish me to accompany you somewhere i will gladly do so"

"The ocean, I wish to go to the ocean"

He looked perplexed furrowing his brows and looking to the letter in my hands, "I have a beachside estate we can go to, but who is it your meeting" he looked at the piece of jewelry that came from the letter. He practically stared a hole in it.

"A dear friend who loved the ocean"

He seemed to visibly relax and nod, "We will leave tomorrow. Until then I should get my affairs in order"

The rest of the day was spent packing up anything I needed for the trip. I looked over the letter many times. What happened to her? It wasn't even a year ago I visited her. Her painting of the sea were no longer selling as portraiture became more popular with the public yet she still painted them in her free time. I couldn't sleep the worry haunted me.

The next morning with the carriage packed I got in with Hawks following. I stare for a moment seeing instead of him sitting on the opposite side from me he chose to be next to me.

Hawks POV

I was reading in the carriage when I felt her lean against me. She appears to have fallen asleep. No point in waking her. She looked tired earlier so ill let her nap.

God she makes me do such idiotic things. If I didn't know better id say Enji sent her to curse me. I never would have bought a slave myself but she practically came with a cute bow on her head. If I didn't accept her she would have been put to work at Enji's manor.
