The Bird and the Flame

Mini Hawks

(Endeavor's P.O.V.)

     It has been three days. Three. Days. He hasn't turned back. He has been sticking with me almost all the time. It doesn't help that he makes some of the most innocent expressions I've ever seen. There are only a few moments when he's not with me. During those moments, he hangs out with Shoto or Fuyumi. Apparently, he and Shoto are somewhat friends. He smiles whenever he's around Hawks so I suppose it makes sense.

     I arrived from patrolling the city and found Shoto playing a game with Hawks. Hawks was running from him, laughing. This is something I never thought I would see. Shoto was smiling, Hawks was happier than he is with me, and they're taking part in something I should have done with my own children. I walked further into the room, heading towards my room. I heard the light pitter-patter of feet behind mine. I looked back and found none other than Hawks. He looked up at me with expecting eyes. I looked at Shoto and he shrugged. I lifted him and he hugged me to the best of his ability.

     This is too much for me to bear. I set him down after a few moments and hurried to my room. I closed the door quietly and went to gather clothes for a shower. Luckily, there is a bathroom right next to this room. I won't have to be outside for too long.

What a weirdo.

(Hawks' P.O.V.)

     Did he not like the hug? Does he not like me?? I looked at Shoto and ran over, hugging him instead. He hugged back, lifting me. I poked his cheek and he smiled. He doesn't seem to hate me so at least I have a friend! He reminds me of a candy cane!! I looked around for something to do. He carried me to the couch. "Would you like to watch a movie?" I nodded happily as he went through the options. He let me pick a movie and we got snacks! My dad wouldn't ever let me do this... He isn't here so it's fine!

~~~~ Hours later~~~~

     (Shoto's P.O.V.)

     He fell asleep. His head is on my left arm so I can't move. I'll take him to my room and keep warm so that he doesn't wake up. I carefully lifted him with my left arm, warming it up a bit more, and carried him to my room. I turned everything off before I picked him up so there isn't a reason to go back. I laid him down before laying down myself. I covered him up with my warmest blanket and laid down. I don't need a blanket for obvious reasons but he does. His wings aren't as big as they were before so he can't cover himself with them.

      I got comfortable and closed my eyes. I felt him shuffle closer to my left side and he stuck close. I got warmer again and he seemed to relax more. I relaxed as well and fell asleep rather quickly.

~~~~The next day~~~~

     I felt something heavy on my arm so I looked at whatever it was. Oh, he's at full size again. Thank goodness. Of course, I had fun playing those games but I haven't been able to take any naps. It's gotten to the point where I sleep in class. Anyway, he woke up and looked around, confused. "Why am I here??" I sighed and sat up. I then began explaining as much of the situation as I could. I stretched and stood. "Well, I have to go to school so have a nice day I suppose." I went to shower and get ready for school. I heard Endeavor get up and I left before he could see me.

(Hawks' P.O.V.)

      I'm confused. Why don't I remember any of the things he told me?? The last thing I remember seeing was the villai- Oh.

Should I write a story with a Todoroki ship? If so, what ship?
