You were the number four hero, just behind Hawks. Despite the unusual nature of your friendship—if it could even be called that—he was one of your closest companions. Deep down, you always harbored a fear that surpassing him in rank might strain your relationship.

When All Might retired, the Hero Public Safety Commission re-evaluated and issued a new ranking list. On the day of the announcement, you received a call after Hawks, informing you that you had moved up to second place, while Hawks had dropped to third. The news left you both elated and apprehensive.

The next day, driven by a mix of excitement and nervousness, you decided to visit Hawks at his home. You knocked on his door, and he answered almost immediately. To your surprise and relief, he didn’t look angry or disappointed. Instead, his face lit up with a cheerful smile.

Without a moment's hesitation, he pulled you into a tight embrace, lifting you off the ground and spinning you around with infectious enthusiasm.

"Hey there, birdie!" he exclaimed, laughing. "Looks like you’ve surpassed me now, huh? Stronger than me already?"

His joyful reaction dispelled your fears, reinforcing the unique bond you shared. It became clear that his support and camaraderie transcended mere rankings, reaffirming the strength of your unconventional friendship.
