Your Red Feather (Hawks x Reader)

Chapter 1

(a/n: The first chapter doesn't contain any Hawks, apologies :'( BUT IT'S INTRODCUING Y/N!!)

I fell for him. Then lost him.

(Few years ago)

10:09 pm and you just finished locking up the bakery. As you close the door you're welcomed with the cold wind kissing your face. You snuggle closer to your scarf and take out your phone, you put in your earphones and listen to music as you walk to the bus stop. 10:18 pm as the songs on your playlist change, the bus slowly approaches. You get off the seat and walk towards the bus door. The bus doors open and you walk in, you take in a deep breath and sit next to a wrinkly old lady. 10:35pm, the bakery was a bit far from your house, but you didn't mind as long as you got paid it doesn't matter how far it is. For the past 17 minutes you've been staring at your phone scrolling through social media. It was all nonsense about pro heroes saving and helping people. You honestly couldn't care about pro heroes, there wasn't really a specific pro hero you liked nor wanted to know more about, but if you had to pick it would be the current number one Endeavour. You've heard good and bad about him, but you find it a bit interesting how he doesn't plaster a smile on his face like the other pros. You didn't notice the time passing by so you looked up to see if you were at your stop yet and saw through the glass window of a store, on the TV was the number two hero, Hawks. There was nothing fascinating about him. He was just another hero. To you at least. You didn't hate heroes you just didn't hype them up like the rest of your friends or family. You were grateful for what they do but you just don't praise them. Turning back to your now vibrating phone you see your friend/co-worker Akira calling. Answering the phone as you exit the bus, which has now arrived at your stop. You hear an energized "Hello!!!" from the opposite end.

"Hello!!" You reply, sharing the same energy as you walk in the cold.

"Hey Y/N did you get back home safely yet?" Your friend asks you while waiting for your answer.

"Not yet, I just got off the bus."

"Aww that sucks you worked overtime today?"

"Yep! The bills won't pay themselves. Being a med-school student isn't cheap, my friend." You joke.

"Haha I know! Anyways, have you heard? The number two hero hawks saved a little girl from almost getting kidnapped today!?" Your friend tells you.

"Is that so? How great!" You say as you look at the busy road and at an alleyway.

"Akira." You call out your friend's name.

"Yes?"

"Should I go down the busy road or the alleyway?"

"Obviously the road. More people is better, I heard villains have been more active recently." Akira tells you.

"Is that so... eh I'll just go down the alleyway, it's closer to my home and it'll be much quicker."

"Why even bother asking me then, Y/N?" Akira replies slightly annoyed.

"Heh, anyways, why didn't you come to work again today?" You ask your friend.

"I already told you! My younger brother caught a cold and my mom and dad are working today so I had to take care of him."

"Oh yeah! I hope the little guy feels better."

"Don't worry, as long as he takes his medicine and gets enough sleep he should be better in no time!"

"Good." You say with a relieved tone.

10:58 pm. You took a turn into the alleyway reaching closer to your home. You like to talk to friends/family whenever you walk down this alleyway. Even though it's closer to home, sometimes you can't help but feel uneasy whenever you pass this alleyway.

"Aw, Y/N I gotta go!! My phone is at 3%!!" Akira whined.

"Aww!"

"Are you going to be fine walking alone? I know how you feel uneasy walking alone. I can call you from my house phone if you would like!" Akira yawned after that sentence.

As much as you wanted to say yes, after hearing the poor girl yawn you couldn't bring yourself to say yes.

"Ah no, it's fine! I'm almost home anyways! Plus you sound tired, you should get to bed, we have to wake up early in the morning tomorrow!" You said declining her offer.

"Are you sure?" Akira reassured you.

"..."

"Yep!" You said hesitatingly.

"Alright then. Text me once you get home I'll answer if I'm awake." Akira said.

"Will do." You replied.

"Bye Y/N."

"Goodnight Akira!"

Once you hung up you could feel chills run down your spine. You really wished she didn't hang up but you didn't want to be selfish and keep her up. It was so quiet. You could hear the footsteps behind you. You were honestly really scared. You could feel yourself start to shake. You've always suffered with anxiety ever since you were a kid but it got better as the years went on.

You slowly take your phone out and start pressing the numbers to alert the cops until you hear a "meow", you freeze and turn around.

"Oh so it was you that was following me?" You relieve yourself as you talk to the adorable stray cat that's been following you.

"You scared me. I thought it was a villain or something. I honestly thought I was going to die." You crouch down stroking its black and white fur with the back of your hand.

"meow"

"Haha lucky for you. I have some cookies I brought back from the bakery. Would you like to share?" You ask the cat and hear a little "meow" in response. "Pfft" you chuckle to yourself as you take the bag of cookies out of your crossbody bag.

"You and I can share this one alright?" You say taking one cookie out.

"Meow"

You break the cookie in half and give the bigger piece to the cat as you take the smaller one.

"Well then. I best get going. It's quite late and I have a study session pretty early in the morning!"

"Goodbye, adorable kitty!" You get up and walk away.

11:15pm. You juggle with your keys before you find the one to your apartment. Once you unlocked the door and walked in you went straight to the shower. 11:20pm, "man am I tired you say as you climb into your sheets. "Right, I almost forgot to text Akira!" You say, taking your phone that's currently charging and type "I'm home girlie <3" and put your phone back down and slowly drift off to sleep.
