The Bird and the Flame

Rainy Day

~~~Sorry guys 🧍‍♂️ Didn't mean to take this long~~~

(Hawks' P.O.V.)

     I curled into a tight ball with a bunch of blankets covering me. I was so cold that not even my own feathers could keep me warm enough. Enji is at work and will be for a while. So here I am, a cold bird that can't even find warmth in his own home. How fun. I curled into a tighter ball, feeling a little warmer. I sent some feathers to gather more blankets cause I NEEDED to be warmer as soon as possible. I made the blanket fall on top of me, finally feeling the warmth I had yearned for. The sounds of rain hitting the window made me sleepy. Now that I was warm enough, I felt like I could actually manage to fall asleep. I closed my eyes, falling asleep.

     I woke up to a shower of nice, warm kisses. I slowly opened my eyes, looking at the one I call my lover. A smile snuck onto my face as I closed my eyes, leaning further into the kisses. He laid with me and held me close, warming up the entire room. I curled into a tight ball, smiling. I wrapped my wings around him, sighing in relief. I closed my eyes, only to wake up once again. I was alone. I rubbed the back of my neck. "I forgot...Guess that was a dream, haha.." I laid back down, staring at the ceiling. I blew a lock of hair off of my face. It just fell back to the same place it was at before. I just then remembered that I bought him some hoodies so that he'd feel more cuddly instead of just being in those boring, basic clothes.

     I got up and grabbed one, slipping it on. "Still warm!" I dove under the covers again and curled into a tight ball. I closed my eyes, smiling. "So comfy.." I think I'm gonna...fall...asleep..

(Endeavor's P.O.V.)

     I miss him. I wanted him to join me but we both knew he needed a break after all the work he had been taking on. I want to embrace him and never let go. I feel like a child. When did my thought process change to this extent? When did I become so cuddly and clingy? I sighed heavily, continuing with paperwork. I wish he'd drop by. Maybe I should send him a message? What if he's resting? Hm. This is far too complicated. Just go for it, Enji. Quit being so foolish. I huffed at myself as I sent him a quick hello. He wasn't as quick with his responses as he usually is. He must be resting. 'I love you,' was something I considered typing but...I don't feel as though I should be allowed to have someone to love.. Shouto is texting me more often than before. Sure, it's only a few words, however, it's far more than before.

     I have yet to receive any responses from Natsuo. However, I understand why. I hope he's doing well. As well as Fuyumi. She's been quite busy lately. Perhaps I'll visit during my break with Keigo. I smiled at the thought. I sent the message to Keigo without another thought, humming as I did so. I continued work, impatient as to when I'd be able to hold him so close again.

~~~~After work~~~~

     I arrived at his home pretty late. I asked him if he had eaten yet and he said he spent the day sleeping. So I brought some foods neither of us had tried yet. I just hope it will satisfy him. Just as I was about to knock, he opened the door and hugged me, cuddling immediately. I hugged him back, smiling softly as I carried him inside. I kissed his head. "I brought food, Keigo. Would you mind setting the table?" He hopped off and took the food, going to prepare it while whistling. I took my shoes off and locked the door, walking to the bathroom to wash my hands. Seeing as I won't be able to spend the next few days with him, I'll make the most of the nights we have.

     We sat and talked about our days. Mostly mine, since Keigo slept almost the entire day. He seemed so intrigued by the random events I was mentioning. He asked some questions as well. He made me feel as though what I was saying truly mattered. No matter how simple it was. It warmed my heart. He warmed my heart. His gaze, his smile, his actions, his general existence. It all makes me beyond happy. I wonder if he feels the same. When did I become so enamored by this man? I'm grateful for those who made him my partner when we first met.
