At a cozy café, you and Hawks sat across from each other, casually flipping through the menu. Hawks was scrolling through his phone, his red feathers fluttering slightly in the breeze from the open window.

A waitress approached with a bright smile. “What would you like to order?”

You pointed to a special item on the menu. “The Deluxe Dessert Duo.”

The waitress’s smile faltered slightly. “Oh, I’m sorry, that’s a special promotion for couples only.”

Hawks raised an eyebrow at you, clearly amused. “You’re out of luck,” he teased, glancing back at his phone.

You smirked, leaning forward. “Oh, I think I can handle this.”

Without giving him a chance to react, you grabbed Hawks by the collar and pulled him toward you. Before he could even process what was happening, you kissed him—right on the lips.

Hawks froze, eyes wide in shock. You pulled back, smirking confidently, and shot the waitress a look. “We’re a couple,” you said matter-of-factly.

The waitress’s face turned bright red, and she quickly scurried away, leaving Hawks in stunned silence.

He slowly put a hand over his face, clearly struggling to hide the deep flush spreading across his cheeks. “You can’t just do that in public,” he muttered, his voice a little strained.

You leaned back, completely unfazed, and grinned. “Why not? You looked like you enjoyed it.”

Hawks dropped his hand to his lap, still trying to calm himself down. “Really? In front of everyone?”

He groaned, his wings flaring out as he tried to bury his face in them. “I swear, I’ll never live this down.”
