    Dabi and Hawks are both your boyfriends

    8:30 PM.

    The house is cloaked in a low, simmering silence, broken only by the faint ticking of a wall clock and the distant hiss of something cooking on the stove. Outside, the last light of day fades into night, casting long shadows across the floor.

    Hawks sits on the couch, unusually still, his wings drawn close to his body like a storm held at bay. His golden eyes are sharp, unreadable, locked on the front door.
