The Bird and the Flame

Protection

(Endeavor's P.O.V.)

     I've spent nearly the entire day with this man and I'm not sure of the words that could describe him. I now have an unexplainable yearning to protect him. I don't understand what this is but I will try to "have his back" when it is necessary. Be it emotionally, physically, or in the midst of a fight. I am currently heading home. He said he had something to deal with at home so he left earlier than I had hoped he would. I mentally cursed myself for suddenly thinking these things. I'm not supposed to get attached and that seems to be exactly what I'm doing. I sighed and walked into my house. To my surprise I found Fuyumi there. "Hello, Fuyumi. I wasn't aware that you were visiting." I removed my shoes and made my way over. "I wanted to surprise you. I've made usagi mochi for you." She said with a smile. She is the only child of mine who has forgiven me for my past actions. Shoto and Natsuo still despise me very much. We sat and enjoyed the mochi with some tea. We discussed things we usually discussed. How she's doing, how her brothers are doing, etc.

(Hawks' P.O.V.)

     Endeavor is waaayyy more interesting that I thought. He told about some personal things. I didn't expect it but he just brought it up. He has three kids that are still alive, one of them apparently passed away. He lives alone because they're practically grown. Except for one, who's attending U.A. I've met him a few times. His name is Shoto and he's a good kid. He's the silent but strong type. Every time I've seen him he's with that kid who breaks his fingers a lot. Anyway, Endeavor's personality is much better than people make it seem. He just seems like the guy who breaks things without even trying to hold them right. He's actually the gentle type if he knows you well. I told him that I had to deal with something at home because I don't think I'd be able to stick around too long without getting attached. He doesn't want to get too close to anyone so I decided to make it easier. Although he seemed kinda disappointed when I told him. Maybe that's just what I'm hoping for. I dunno but I'd like to take a shower before the photoshoot. Yeah, photoshoot. I may be a hero but I'm also a model. I don't like having too much free time. I took a quick shower and flew to the building where the photoshoots take place. I walked in and immediately went to the photographer. I gave her a tight hug and smiled. "Hey! It's been a while" She took a vacation so I haven't seen her in a while. She's like a sister to me. "Hey!! How have you been??" She smiled happily and returned the hug. "I'm doing alright, you?" We kept talking until I was told to go get changed for the shoot. I changed into some fancy-ish clothes and was practically carried to the spot in front of the cameras. They set me down and told me how to pose. This usually lasts an hour or more because they have to take several pictures of me in several poses. This takes getting used to but I've been doing this for a while so it doesn't bother me.

    I headed home and landed in front of it. I walked in and took my shoes off. "Phew, what an eventful day." I smiled and walked to my room. I collapsed onto the bed from exhaustion and relaxed. "Same thing everyday" I muttered and crawled further onto my bed. I folded my wings and closed my eyes, falling asleep almost immediately. My dreams ended up including some of the memories I wanted to lock away forever. I tried to change the dream but failed. I ended up having to relieve those horrible, torturous memories.
