I'm gonna go sleep on my Hawks body pillow now
"Woah there, sorry. Did my wing hit you?" Hawks asked as you picked yourself up from the ground.
You didn't expect his wings to be so powerful that a simple flap would knock you off your feet. You dusted yourself off and turned your gaze to him. He waited for an answer as he looked you up and down, analyzing you and your mood.
"It's fine. It was my mistake to get so close to them in the first place." You admitted, getting ready to head to where you were going.
Hawks let you pass, but not before questioning what had happened. Normally, he would have picked up the vibrations and moved before his wings would have hit you. However, he didn't sense a thing. Was he sick? Were his feathers alright? He didn't know. He decided to write it off as spacing out and went on with his day. A few villains and helping the common folk was what his day was filled with. That is, until he got a call from a certain flame user. He went to their normal meeting spot and waited for Dabi to arrive.
A few mintues go by, and Hawks goes to call Dabi, wondering where he was, only for a ringtone to go off behind him, making him jump. He clutched his hesrt as he turned towards Dabi, who stared at him bewildered.
"How long have you been there?!" Hawks exclaimed, trying to calm down from the near heart attack he almost experienced
"I've been here, waiting. Didn't you pick up on me walking behind you?" Dabi questioned the hero, clearly confused.
"I..." There was no way for Hawks to lie and make an excuse, so he decided to just tell the truth.
"I haven't been able to sense anything with my feathers as of late. Haven't been able to pick up on anything. I'm worried it may affect my work and efficiency."
Dabi raised a brow, clearly unamused.
"Let me test something then." Dabi went to grab a feather and plucked it from Hawks' wing. He didn't sense Dabi going to grab it, and watched seeing what he may do next.
"Tell me if you feel anything." Dabi stated as he set the feather ablaze.
Hawks didn't feel a single thing, which terrified him. Usually he would pick up on his feather being burnt, the pain equal to that of a pinch. However, he didn't feel anything at all, as if the feather wasn't even a part of him. As if it wasn't apart of him...
"Anything?" Dabi asked
"Nothing..." Hawks muttered.
"Send a feather my way, yeah?" Dabi suggested.
Right. He couldn't sense vibrations, that was all. Right? Hawks tried to send a feather at Dabi, only for nothing to happen. His wings didn't even move. This caused fear to shoot through Hawks' spine, and the feathers on his wings puffed up. He turned his head, wide eyed as he looked at his wings.
"That's not supposed to happen." Hawks admitted, as he tried to flatten his feathers.
He couldn't, the panic he felt was too great, causing his wings to stay the way they were.
"Are you okay?" Dabi asked, getting sort of freaked out by the display in front of him.
"I don't know, I d- OW!" Hawks removed his gloves as he looked at his hands, more specifically, his nails.
His nails, once trimmed and filed, now long and sharp, darkening as they grew. He watched as his hands changed, his fingertips now thickly padded and the back becoming layered in scaley thick skin. He kneeled over in pain as he felt feathers begin to grow on his back and neck, some on his shoulders, face, ears and even his arms. The feeling overwhelming as he turned to Dabi in desperation. The villain, taling a step back as he watched Hawks transform before his very eyes.
Hawks felt his eyes dialate as his surroundings became more clear. His throat burned as if his vocal cords were on fire, a deep throated, high pitched shriek coming from him instead of his usual scream. He could feel his muscles contract and relax as his whole body transformed into something, not even he could comprehend.
"Da-bi... wh.. what is happen- ing to m-me...?" Hawks groaned, his voice hoarse and dry.
Dabi readied himself, arms in flames as he watched from a distance, waiting to see if Hawks would attack. After another minute of pain and agony, Hawks ended up passing out from exhaustion, his body reformed. Dabi wasn't sure what to do, but he did know one thing. If Hawks was to be spotted, then his plans of using the hero, would go down the drain. So he stayed, and waited, and watched. He waited for the hero to wake up, maybe then he would get some answers as to what the fuck just happened.
I like to think that at some point, while Hawks was flying, he hit a bird. Like, unintentionally ran into a bird and both of them almost fell but managed to stop themselves and fly again. Now Hawks has to actually pay attention as he flys rather than going on auto-pilot.
People: I didn't know that the ends of Hawks' gloves had fur! I thought it was the jacket!
Hawks' Outfit:
His sleeves are tucked into his gloves. Why? More than likely for protective measures, like to keep his sleeve holes from getting caught. To also keep anything from getting inside, and just overall insulation in the air.
Replying to asks and stuff will take slightly longer than normal. As I have a puppy nomming on my hands and cries if my attention isn't on them. :) So bare with me I WILL GET TO REQUESTS AND ASKS AND ALL THAT. Just delayed.
C.Hawks: I wonder if that new restaurant that opened up has any good beef bowls.
F.Hawks: I just want something with chicken!
C.Hawks: Why not cannibalize yourself then, chicken boy.
F.Hawks taking offence: I'm not a chicken! I'm a Hawk!
C.Hawks: Uhuh, and I'm a pidgen.
F.Hawks: Wait you are?!
C.Hawks: I was being sarcastic.
F.Hawks: ... I knew you were a government spy!
C.Hawks: Wha- FANON WE BOTH ARE!
Anyone else love that even when Hawks is relaxed his eyes remain sharp and predatorial? Man's always alert even when he is relaxed. That carefree attitude of a man who could kill you in an instant if he felt like it? Hot.
F.Hawks whispering: Hey.
F.Hawks whispering a little louder: Heeeyy. Lark, wake up.
F.Hawks getting closer to your face: Lark bird, come on. You've been asleep all day. It's time to rise and sing your beautiful song.
F.Hawks putting a hand on your face and rubbing your cheek with his thumb: Come on Lark bird. I promised to take care of you, including your mental health. I can't do that if you sleep all day. If you want, I can buy us some food, and we can watch a movie and eat on the couch. How does that sound?
F.Hawks after you wake up: There's my Lark bird. Come on now, let's get you something to eat. Let's also get you out of this home, and refresh the scenery for you.
How I imagine Canon Hawks vs. Fanon Hawks would react to Y/N being flirted with by someone else who is making Y/N uncomfortable.
C.Hawks: *very casual and calm, doesn't even care because you and him are not a couple. Then he notices how visibly uncomfortable you are getting so he decided to tell the person to leave you alone. The person doesn't stop and he sees that Y/N is starting to back up a bit as the person gets closer, which makes Hawks push the person away repeating himself telling them to back off, in a more aggressive tone. After the person leaves he turns asking if you are okay.*
Vs.
F.Hawks: *Wings are puffed up, but is smiling trying to look casual. Seeing how you are uncomfortable, he decides to insert himself between you and the person flirting with you, in an attempt to get them to leave, while also being very passive aggressive. The person who was flirting with you now starts to feel uncomfortable as he is now all over you, with his arm around you and he pulls you closer, asking if this guy is bothering you, whilst also being semi flirty/affectionate towards you, and glaring at the person. After the person leaves, he sighs and shakes his head, going on about how 'some people just can't take a hint'. *
Hi there! Auro here with yet another question for both canon and fanon hawks if that's alright with you! I was wondering if either of you guys believe in soulmates, and how much of a romanticist would you guys say you are?
Thank you yet again for your time, keep up your amazing work! Bye boys, play nice! Peace! -Auro
C.Hawks: Soulmates? I don't think so. Plus I'm not big on romance, I'm already married to my work. I don't think I'll have any time for a relationship until maybe after I reach my goal.
F.Hawks: Soulmates? Cringe. I'm more of a, fuck around and find out kind of a guy. If I meet a girl I like, take her on a few dates and then if all goes well, then it does. If not, all well might as well move on.
