    I find myself running towards Hawks. What the fuck, am I that dumb? The hero's eyes meet mine and I skid to a stop. I get into a deep stance and ready my quirk. Hawks backs up to the wall and slumps down, head in his knees. Was this some kind of fighting tactic? I walk over to him and stand above him.

"Are you oka-" I get cut off.

"Leave me alone!" Hawks says, his voice cracking. He looks up at me with tears streaming down his face. I don't move. Seeing such a powerful pro-hero crying was almost a relief. My eyes stray from his face... His wing was out to the side, it's feathers were fried and it looked broken. I sigh. I bend down and try to pick him up bridal style, but he pushes me away and swats at my face. 

"Look I don't know who did this but they're probably going to go after you again" I pause to judge his reaction. Nothing. "So why don't you come to my place to hide for the night?" 

He stops fighting me and just looks down. I'll take that as a yes. I carry him back to my apartment. 

 *Time skip *

       I carry Hawks to my room. I gently put him down on the bed and brush his hair out of his face. Hawks arms wrap around me and pull me into a hug, causing me to fall forward. 

"Hawks what the-" I said startled. Even injured and half asleep, Hawks had superhuman strength. With his pre-existing wounds, fighting his "hug" might hurt him more. I let myself stay there. I soon fell asleep to the rhythm of his heartbeat.
