Note: Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I write smut on company time <3

Happy reading.

The bar is lively this time of night. People come and go in large groups, laughing loudly with friends as they drink and chat. My eyes scan the crowd. It's been three weeks since I've seen Hawks. Three weeks and I've been attached to Touya's hip, if he likes it or not is to be determined. Three weeks and two dates. I stir my straw in the fruity nonalcoholic drink Touya left me with. While I enjoy coming to the bar to talk to him while he works, nights like this one are the worst. He's busy and can't talk. Everyone is busy and can't talk. When she isn't running food Toga manages to stop by me to chat about school or a show, she's watching but it isn't often she gets to rest. Things were a lot less boring when Hawks was around. I run my fingers down the feather. It doesn't move anymore. It used to dance around my apartment, chase my cat, or rub my cheek when he somehow knew I was sad. Now it just sits there like a normal necklace. I've thought about not wearing it anymore, but I think Touya would start to suspect something so when he's around I always make sure to put it on.

"What's wrong sweet heart?" Touya says gently. I didn't even hear him come over. Too consumed by my own wallowing thoughts.

"Hmm? Oh nothing. Actually, I might head home. I can feel the beginning of a migraine coming on," I laugh lightly. I don't really want to sit here around so many people alone anymore.

"Better idea?" Touya asks and I nod as I wait for him to continue. He digs in his pocket before producing a key, "go upstairs and lie down. I get off in like an hour or two. You can curl up, watch tv, take a nap, whatever. I- um... I got that tea you like too. So, you can make some tea if you want."

I can't help but smile. I stand on the wooden dowels of the chair to give me a small boost as I kiss Touya gently before plopping back down. I take the key from his warm hands, "I will see you in like an hour then."

He smiles at me as he watches me gather my things and exit the bar. As soon as the outside air hits me so does a solid wall. I stumble as I try to recollect myself. The person I ran into steadies me carefully as I blubber out an apology, "I am so sorry," I say looking up at the person I ran smack dab into, golden eyes and messy hair. My heart jumps into my throat, "H-hawks."

I hate the way my voice sounds when I choke out his name. It sounds weak. It sounds so broken.

"Oh, hey Kana," he rubs the back of his neck as he looks past me. So, I do the same. I rip my eyes away from him and stare at the red bricks of the wall on the opposite side of the bar doors.

"Right. Um..." I don't know what to say so I just step out of his way and move to go up the metal stairs.

"Kana?" Hawks asks.

"Yeah?" I hate how hopeful my voice sounds as I spin to face him. He looks remorseful and maybe he should be.

"N-nothing. Sorry."

And with that he dips into the bar. I wish I could go after him. Demanded a real explanation as to why things turned out the way they did. But I don't. I sigh as the spring air invades my lungs and I turn to head into Touya's apartment.

I go directly to into Touya's room and steal a shirt before making my way to his kitchen to start a cup of tea. When that's done, I settle onto the couch and find a documentary to put on. I bite at my lip pulling the skin between my teeth nipping until I taste blood. I curse at myself. I thought I had grown out of biting my lips and cheeks but lately I've started doing it more and more. I reach for my feather but find only the necklace Touya gave me. Panic blooms with in me.
