Hawks x Reader: Soaring

20 • Endgame

"I mean, when I saw you, I was like 'wow, her eyes are sparkling' and 'her hair looks extra pretty today' and then I thought 'who wouldn't wanna date such a beautiful person!'" she sweetly smiled directing that last part directly towards Hawks which caused him to use one hand to cover his face slightly. 

"Why are you doing that? You don't think Y/N is pretty?" Shoto looked at Hawks with his usual blank expression. 

Hawks looked at him, frantically waving his arms, "No that's not it, I-i just..." he looked at her face which had a worried expression on it. "Uhhhhh....." he stuttered.

Out of nowhere, Y/N let out a few giggles, which turned into a fit of laughing. Everyone else just stared at her as she continued to laugh as if she was in her own world. "I can't b-believe it!" she said in between laughs, "I see what's going on here, haha!" she said as she got up and pointed at Hawks, "Did you ask these guys to do all this so they could help you with a date idea?" she questioned him as she gave a smile. 

"Yeah, but I didn't think they would do...this," he admitted as he rubbed his temples. Y/N jokingly rolled her eyes as she walked around and took Hawks' hand. 

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but I think I have a better date idea...that doesn't involve you guys, sorry," she said as she tugged for him to stand up. "Thanks for everything though!" she said as she dragged him quickly out of the Todoroki's house. 

Natsuo sat there dumbfounded that his plan would fail this badly. Shoto just stared at him blankly while slurping another bowl of soba. Natsuo glared at him,

"Oh, would you stop!"

Shortly after they left the house, Y/N had let go of Hawks' hand but they still continued on their way to her secret spot. 

When they finally arrived, they found themselves in a water garden. 

"So, this is the place you wanted to go to..." Hawks said. 

"Yeah," she quietly said, "I come here sometimes to escape the hero hustle, and occasionally, I bring special people here..."

"So I'm guessing I'm one of those special people...?" Hawks smirked.

Y/N paused and looked him up and down, "I guess we'll have to see about that one," she smiled and continued walking until they got to a bridge in a more quiet part and sat on the edge. They both sat there in silence, admiring the dusk sky and the moon highlighting the ripples in the water. Y/N let out a big sigh and rested her hands on her knees. 

"It's Takami...Keigo Takami right?" she slightly whispered. Hawks' eyes widened as that was the first time she's used his actual name. 

"Bingo..." he tried not to let his excitement show on the outside. There were a few moments of silence after that. 

"That's a...pretty cool name..." she trailed off as a blush crept onto her face. He just silently smiled and turned from looking at her back to the water. "This is so awkward," thought Y/N. She moved her hair to cover her face and closed her eyes as tight as she could while fisted her hands tight in frustration. "You know," she blurted out which startled Hawks, "I don't know much about you but...I really want to get to know you," she said loudly as her face was fully blushing now while her eyes were still closed and hair still hiding her state. 

Hawks hesitated but slowly moved her hair so he could at least see her face. Y/N felt this and winced a bit but slowly opened one eye to see him. His face was also blush-filled when he spoke, "Y-yeah, just asks, and I'll answer anything...".
