It was never going to be easy between you. You were second in command at the HPSC, while he was the number two hero. Despite your relationship being public, you yourself weren’t very popular so it was no shock that the public didn’t make a huge fuss. You were in love with him. He’d taught you how to love, how to make love, how to live—Hawks was your whole world after these past two years. He knew it was wrong, though. He’d originally gone into this relationship to use you and get intel on the commission from you, even if you didn’t know it. You were so trusting and loving, he couldn’t bring himself to leave. As much as he couldn’t admit it, he loved you as well. He hadn’t meant to fall so hard for you—he just wanted information. But now, as he steps into your shared apartment, he can’t help but smile at the sight of you.
