I lean against the railing of the balcony a cigarette in between my fingers.
Going to visit my sister brought back the bad habit of smoking, so here I am at 4am smoking a cigarette.
The day before had been stressful, full of paperwork and fighting villains one of which killed a little girl and her mother.
The scene unable to leave my head. "Mm babe?" Keigo yawns opening the sliding glass door.
"Yeah?" I ask quietly not turning around.
The city is beautiful at night.
Arms wrap around my torso, Keigo rests his head on my shoulder.
I offer him the cigarette which he accepts taking a small hit before handing it back.
"What are you thinking about?" I shrug sighing.
"If I got there earlier that little girl and her mom would still be alive. I know I can't save everyone but if I had left quicker-"
"Jada. You couldn't do anything about it."
"I didn't even catch the guy who killed them. He burnt them to a crisp."
Keigo gently pulls away and starts playing with my wings.
"How did you get these scars?" He asks tracing the scars made by a knife.
I sigh reaching my hand back to touch them. "After my mom was found out to be a traitor Alexa left, she didn't want to accused as a traitor so she moved to America. I couldn't. I was still only 10. I tried to cut off my wings. I hated the fact I was related to her. My dad walked into me doing it and brought me to the hospital. They stitched me up and my wings healed." I shrug taking a hit of the cigarette then putting it out.
Keigo runs his hands up and down my chest kissing my neck. "Your nothing like your mother." He whispers.
I nod turning around to face my boyfriend. His tired eyes staring back at me.
I kiss him gently his arms wrapping around my neck while mine rest on his hips pulling him closer to me.
He pulls away smiling brightly.
"It's almost 5 how about we get dressed and patrol around." I nod and he leads me inside.
"Phoenix?? Hawks?!" A young boy runs up to the two of us happily.
"Hey there kid." My boyfriend smiles greeting the young boy.
"Can I have a picture with you guys?!" He jumps up and down in front of me.
"Uh sure yeah why not." I smile kneeling down.
Keigo holds the boys phone on the other side of him. The little boy smiles brightly hugging onto me.
I wrap my arm around him smiling gently while Keigo smirks at the camera holding up a peace sign.
He snaps three pictures before handing the phone back.
"Nice meeting you...."
"Akio!"
"Nice meeting you Akio." I hug him gently.
"Can I touch your wings?" He asks as a man jogs up.
I look up at Keigo who shrugs. "Sure."
I stretch my right wing watching the little boy smile and start to play with the longer feathers.
I reach around releasing one of my feathers and handing it to him. "Keep it kid." I ruffle his hair.
"REALLY! THANK YOU! YOUR SO COOL! DAD LOOK!" The little boy runs to the man showing him the pictures and my feathers.
"Have a nice day." I grab Keigo's hand and we continue our patrol.
"That was really nice." I smile over at him.
"It's weird having fans. I just want to do what's best for them and makes them happy." I shrug as we walk past a club.
A man steps infront of me clearly drunk. "Hey there handsome."
I raise my eyebrows, "Hi."
"Your your pretty." He smirks.
I look back at Keigo seeing him frowning. "I'm working right now. And I have a boyfriend." I say bored.
"Where?"
I roll my eyes stepping back kissing Keigo gently.
He smiles into the kiss his wings fluttering happily.
"Have a nice night sir."
