Hawks was specially smug when you named him your number one, but that title has never been enough for the national hero. Knowing there were more in your list made him feel ridiculous for having a one-sided love interest.

And it's the moment you joked about him catching feelings for you when Hawks was too quick to get defensive.

"That's stupid, I would never. This is just for fun, 'as it." He snapped, lying. Because he couldn't say otherwise, too afraid of driving you off with his feelings.
