"Beautiful"

I look at him surprised and blush a bit at his comment. It took him a minute to register what he said, and he also was embarrassed. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable!!" He says as he covers his face with his hands and I just advert my eyes. "No no your fine Hawks, thank you I've never been complemented like that in years" he looks back up at me surprised at what I said but he held his tounge "we should head to the store n-now" "y-yea we should" we both stutter and head to the store.

When we get there I quickly hide my wings as I land so I'm more comfortable around the public. We go inside and I tell Hawks I need to go get some stuff for me. He gets the hint and I take off. As I'm walking around I notice something. 'Chocolate Milk Mix' my eyes light up. "I haven't had chocolate milk in so long!!" I grab a box and look around, Hawks isn't able to see me so I put it in my basket and finish my shopping.

As we're checking out I quickly try to slide in the chocolate milk mix into our things when he stops me. "Allison? What's this" I freeze 'play dumb' "who's allison?" 'DAMNIT NOT THAT DUMB'
"You can't have chocolate" he says as he puts it away but I grab the box again "pleeeeeaaaaasseeee??" I give him my best puppy eyes look, "Allison no" "Allison yes~" I smirk and he just looks at me. "I said no" "and I said yes! Now that we're done stating the obvious, it's mine and I can have it!" He groans "no" "yes" he sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose "your not gonna let me win are you?" I smile "Nope!"

He sighs dramaticly as he grabs the box and let's the cashier scan it and hands over his card. I feel so happy I could just jump up and down like I'm a child again. "Happy now?" Yes!"

We leave the store but I walk into an allyway before flying up again. "Why do you make sure no one can see you when you take out your wings?" I sigh "I don't- I'd prefer if people didn't have any clues on what I am. Is all I'm going to say" he looks at me confused but he doesn't press on. Once we get there I see Kamini is awake and so is Nicole. Hawks and I walk in and I say hello to my brothers "hey guys good morning" "Morning Alli!!" I hear Nicole say with so much energy in his voice, "hey" Kamini says with, not so much energy.

'Okay now I'm starting to worry.' I walk up to my older brother. "Hey what's wrong? Are you okay?" He nods "just tired" "okay" I give him a quick hug and return back to the kitchen with hawks. He doesn't look like he knows what he's doing which is kinda funny. "Ah ah I'm gonna cook you go away" I take the pan and spatula away from him "I can't just go away!" He says with a pout. "Well then what do you want to do? I'm still cooking" he shrugs "can I help?" I pause and look at him "YOU want to help cook?" I say suspiciously "yup!" He says with a happy smirk. I roll my eyes "fine can you make the mix?" He stares blankly at me. "Mix?" I mentally face palm.
"The pancake mix bird brain" "oh! Uh sure?" He walks behind me while I get ready to make smoothies. "Hawks?" "Yea?" "The flour is the other way" his face turns crimson "O-Oh right!" He goes to get the flour and I stop him "birdy do you not know how to make pancake mix from scratch?" I laugh to myself a bit and his face goes darker confirming my suspicions.

".....no" his wings droop a bit and I feel my heart melt. "It's okay I'll help" I smile at him and his wings perk up and flutter a bit. Why does it feel like I've known him since birth?

I show him how to properly make the mix making sure he didn't slip up, "hey Hey HEY! CAREFUL THATS TOO MUCH MILK!!!" "STOP SCREAMING!!! YOUR MAKING ME PANIC!!" "WELL IF YOU HAD MEASURING CUPS!!! WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM!!!" "IVE NEVER NEEDED THEM TIL NOW!!" I do the eggs since he got shell in the mix the first time I let him do the eggs. "How did you get so many shells in here with just one egg???" I grumble and just shrugs "I dunno"

Finally it was time to cook them. I showed him how to tell if it was ready by keeping an eye on the edges of the pancake to see if they turn a golden brown. "When they turn golden brown you slowly make your way under the pancake and flip it over, you go slowly so you don't mess up the top of it when it's uncooked" I see him look over my shoulder like a child watching me use magic. "It's brown!! It's brown!! Is it ready??!" I smile "yes its ready now stand back" he does so and I flip it with the pan and catch it and he just stares in awe.
