note:

Hi, the wait is over. <3

Touya's warm fingers dance along my arm gently. Back and forth and back and forth as his eyes never leave the television, some horror movie he was really wanted to see is playing. Shoto is at his moms house for the weekend so Touya showed up for an extended weekend sleepover. Bacon is nestled on his warm lap purring away. And for some reason I can't seem to pry my eyes off of the moon lit sky. The stars are all so bright tonight despite the city light pollution. I wish I could go capture one of them and keep it for myself. Touya clears his throat, and I rip my eyes away from my open balcony door.

"Kana... can I ask you something?" he seems nervous. Which makes me nervous.

"Of course. Anything."

"It's about Birdie..." I stiffen. He sighs, "I just... what's going on with you two?"

"What do you mean?" I ask my voice is high, far to cheerful, and I can't bear to look at him.

"I saw you two the other night at the bar. I mean you barely even said hello to one another and then you left completely. I feel like things were so good for a while, but I don't know. It feels like you two have been driven apart and its hurting me."

My tears are stinging my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall, "it's nothing. Hawks is busy is all."

"Please don't lie to me, Kana," His voice is sharp, and I bite my lip. The jig is up.

I'm not prepared for the sob that wracks through me. Nor am I prepared for the way my voice wavers when I start to tell Touya everything, "Hawks and I haven't spoken since we started dating."

"Sweetness, that was three months ago."

I sniffle as I laugh. Nothing is funny it's just all so atrocious, "I know. He said he didn't want to get between us. He wanted us to thrive on our own without him. I thought things would be awkward for a while and then... and then he took his feather back."

"He what?" If I thought Touya's voice was sharp before now, it's a razors edge.

"I haven't had it for a long time. I," my sobs are uncontrollable as I choke through what I can, "I'm sorry I lied to you Touya. I didn't want you to be mad at him. I don't want to come between your friendship. I couldn't bear the thought of some girl coming between both of you, so I shut up and I delt with it."

"Hawks, I don't give a shit what you're doing right now. You better get here. Now." Touya curses as he pulls me into his chest. The dam has opened, and it isn't going to shut until all my tears are gone.

I hear Hawks before I see him. His wings thump heavily before his boots make contact with my balcony. I glance at him and everything shatters. His face is a mirror of mine. Tears stream down his cheeks, and he sniffles uncontrollably. He pushes off his work visor and tosses it on my coffee table. Then without a word he gathers me in his arms. I don't fight it this time. I don't want to. I just want everything to go back to normal. I miss my flirty bird. I miss his dumb jokes and his stupid face. His knees give out and then were on the floor of my living room. He's holding me so tightly in his lap and I'm holding on just as tight.

Hawks pulls back and my heart aches at his teary golden eyes. He cups my cheeks gently, gloved thumbs working overtime to wipe away tears that are instantly replaced with new ones. He looks past me and up at Touya for what feels like a long time. When his eyes finally meet mine, he's smiling softly. Time seems to slow around me. Every little thing taking four times as long as it should. My heart pounds loudly in my ears so it feels like it's the only sound I can hear. Bu-bump, bu-bump, bu-bump. Hawks eyes are laser focused on mine as he slowly closes the distance between us.
