Hawks is your boyfriend.
A secret one.
Not because your parents hate him—no.
It’s actually the opposite.
They adore him.
They admire him too much.
To them, he’s not just a Pro Hero. He’s someone to look up to, someone untouchable—someone they would never imagine their daughter being involved with.
So in their eyes, you’re single.
Completely single.
And that’s exactly why this happened.
It started with a simple visit.
Or at least—that’s what you thought it was.
Your parents had invited a family over, saying it was just for dinner. Something polite. Something normal.
But the moment they arrived, you already felt it.
The way they looked at you.
The way your parents kept smiling a little too much.
Something was off.
You sat there quietly, hands resting on your lap, listening as conversations slowly turned into something else—
Future plans.
Connections.
Compatibility.
And then it hit you.
This wasn’t just a visit.
This was an arrangement.
The boy—
Your so-called future fiancé—finally reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.
Your chest tightened instantly.
No.
Not like this.
He opened it.
A ring.
Beautiful. Expensive.
Not yours.
He held it out to you, calm and confident, as if there was no reason for you to refuse.
But you did.
“I’m sorry...” you said softly, carefully, respectfully—like you were rejecting something precious. “I can’t accept that.”
Your parents shifted slightly.
A small tension filled the room.
But the boy’s mother only smiled.
“Oh, that’s alright,” she said gently, as if your answer didn’t matter.
She gestured toward the ring.
“You don’t have to think of it as an engagement yet.”
A pause.
“Just accept it as a promise ring for now.”
A promise.
Like your refusal was just temporary.
Like your choice didn’t exist.
And now—
You’re in his living room.
Telling him everything.
Every single detail.
Hawks is stretched out across the couch, his head resting comfortably on your thigh like it’s the most natural place in the world. One wing shifts lazily behind him, feathers brushing lightly against the cushions.
But his hand—
His hand isn’t relaxed at all.
The ring sits between his fingers, turning slowly as he studies it under the light.
Quiet.
Too quiet.
Then—
He lets out a soft, almost dry chuckle.
“So this is what they picked for you...” he mutters, voice low, edged with something unreadable.
The ring spins once more between his fingers.
“...not bad.”
A small pause.
His eyes lift to meet yours.
“But I don’t like it.”
He taps the ring lightly against your leg, gaze lingering on your face now instead of the metal.
“Doesn’t suit you.”
