Noctem

Hawksy

Y/N was buzzing with anticipation as she awaited her introduction to Hawks, the number two hero known for his laid-back charm and incredible quirk. She had heard countless stories about him, and now, finally getting to meet him felt surreal.

As she stood near the entrance, Shoto and Bakugo flanked her, both looking unusually tense.

"Are you ready for this?" Shoto asked, glancing at her with concern.

Y/N nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely! It's exciting to meet another high-ranking hero. I can't wait!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted as Hawks sauntered in, his signature casual demeanor exuding charisma. The moment he stepped through the door, the energy in the room seemed to shift, all eyes drawn to him like moths to a flame.

"Hey there, gorgeous!" Hawks called out, spotting Y/N immediately. He flashed her a dazzling smile, and in that moment, he became the center of attention.

"Wow, I feel special!" Y/N exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement. But aware of the competition ahead, she stood tall. "I'm Y/N, or Noctem."

"Hawks, the one and only," he replied, his tone playful as he approached her. "So, you're the shadow girl stealing all the heroes' hearts, huh?"

As he leaned casually against the wall, Bakugo clenched his jaw, barely holding back his frustration. "What a loser," he muttered under his breath while trying to suppress his annoyance.

"Why are you here, anyway?" Shoto asked, his voice edged with suspicion as he eyed Hawks, feeling the competitive tension rise.

"Oh, just here to bring a little light into the agency's life," Hawks grinned, his eyes sparkling as he turned back to Y/N. "And by 'light,' I mean you! Seriously, you've got that aura going on, and it's kind of intoxicating."

Y/N couldn't help but chuckle at his boldness. "Thanks! I've always believed in the power of shadows, but I guess they don't have to be too dark."

Hawks leaned closer, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "You know, I'd love to get the inside scoop on your powers over lunch sometime. Maybe I could show you a few aerial moves? You'll find me utterly charming up in the sky, trust me."

"Charming? Is that what they call it?" Y/N flirted back, allowing her own playful side to shine through. "I'd like to see that, but just know—I'm not easily impressed."

Bakugo's irritation boiled over, unable to contain himself anymore. "Seriously, stop flirting like a total idiot! This is supposed to be a professional environment!"

Shoto, arms crossed, shot a sideways glance at Bakugo. "This is why I don't trust you with introductions."

"Relax! We're all friends here!" Hawks shrugged, winking at Y/N. "And besides, if she can handle my dazzling personality, then I'll take that as a win!"

"Dazzling? More like distracting!" Y/N shot back, and the camaraderie among them turned into playful competition.

"Honestly, if you think you can charm her more than I can, you're mistaken!" Bakugo interjected, glaring at Hawks as the room suddenly felt charged with playful rivalry.

"Bring it on, dynamite," Hawks replied, unfazed. "But I think I can handle a little competition, especially if it means vying for the attention of such a lovely lady."

Y/N laughed, glancing between the two. "Well, I must admit, I like a challenge. You're both compelling in your own weird ways."

The room fell silent for a moment, everyone taken aback by Y/N's unexpected confidence. Shoto and Bakugo exchanged bewildered looks, each processing how Y/N had managed to put Hawks in his place so swiftly.
