It had been a few months since you started working at Hawks’ agency, though you weren’t entirely sure why he hired you in the first place—you didn’t even have a bird-related quirk. Maybe he just wanted to expand his team?

Your first meeting with him was awkward. You literally bumped into him, muttered a quick apology, and hurried away, embarrassed. Definitely not how you imagined meeting one of the top Pro Heroes.

Over time, though, you got to know him better, and you realized he was incredible. Hawks was laid-back, constantly giving you advice, and he often stopped by your office. He’d comment on the plain decor, sometimes bringing you small things like blankets, decorations, and even snacks or coffee. As time passed, it seemed like he preferred being in your office—perhaps he felt lonely? He even trained with you, something that felt rare for someone of his status.

One day, while Hawks was away, your colleagues started talking about your “relationship” with him. Relationship? You quickly dismissed the idea, explaining there was nothing romantic going on. They seemed to understand, pointing out that without a bird-related quirk, it made sense you hadn’t picked up on any signals he might’ve been sending.

Later, sitting in your office—now practically his too—you found yourself thinking about it. What signals had you missed? Just then, the door opened, and his familiar scent filled the room.

"Hey.." His voice was softer than usual. "The others told me what you said earlier. I... I'm sorry, I thought there was something between us. You were responding to my signals, so l assumed... I should've realized that without a bird-type quirk, you wouldn't pick up on them."

His words left you stunned. How had you missed so much?
