Picrew Used Quirk: Nekotori // Cat Owl

Name: ?? Takami

Despite what her Quirk says, the ear-like shapes on her head are just her hair. They don't function as ears like Akira's do.

Has wings! Brown, like her hair. Outside darker than inside, though. Can support flight.

Not sure about the full details of her Quirk, tho; still hammering that one out. 

BUBBLY GAL. So sweet, but can and will cut you with her words. Learned that especially from Keigo. 

Also, hates paparazzi. Like.....so much. Kinda bothered her parents all their later life, so she's learned how to be bitter over them, LMAO. 

A sweet little princess, otherwise, though. Highkey spoiled by her parents.

[knotted-kitten]

Dammit. That’s all I’m gonna say.    Obviously, this has some uhhhhh Lewd Self-Ship Content. This is an n/s/f/w blog, bro. [dances] Keep that in mind, have fun.

   “K-Keigo, I have to go...” Whines wouldn’t stop leaving their mouth, trying to stuff down moans. Attempting to struggle up and leave like Akira had meant to do 10 minutes ago, hurrying to a pro-hero QnA with fans... Before their boyfriend had kissed their neck. Hands on their chest, groping, squeezing, tugging-

   Nudged them backwards so he could take advantage of their skirt, lifted slightly so they could put on the very black knee-highs that had become the distraction in the first place.

   “They can wait... Your hero...needs something first,” he hummed, voice deliciously low as he glanced up smugly before pressing his face into their thigh, kissing it...then opening his mouth to bite, grinning slightly as his partner finally gave in, squirming and moaning above him.

   Thighs were just as sensitive as ever, he noticed... Good.

   Biting the skin of Akira’s thighs was always his favorite. The way they moaned, broke down under him, squirmed and tried to get away from the pain-pleasure of how just sensitive they were... It riled him up like nothing else. So warm and the scent of their need? Heavenly.

   Speaking of... Keigo shoved their thighs open wider, humming lowly in appreciation at the sight. Such a cute pair of panties... Shame they’d have to go on the floor now. Though he was pleased that Akira lifted their hips to help him in taking it off, getting to admire a peek of fur from their tail. Base of that was sensitive, too, he remembered... Something about the flesh connecting up into the nerves of the tail was a hotspot for their pleasure...or maybe his cutie was just sensitive all over~?

   He was pleased with either, honestly. Whatever made them whine and squirm more, beg for more pleasure... Keigo liked them all. It was always worth it to see how much more wetness could come from them, how sweet it could taste this time.

   Spreading them open, he licked his lips, scooting forward and flatting his tongue against them, holding down a grin at how their hips bucked up for him. Yes, yes, exactly that. That’s how he loved them to be...along with the delicious taste on his tongue, groaning softly. (Another whine sounded above him, watching their muscles twitch... It was impressive how tight his pants could get in moments like these. What Akira did to him, whether it was their noises or the fact they made or even watching their body react to him; beg without words.)

   He needed no further encouragement to press his face close, going to town with his flicking tongue, lapping against their folds, sucking them, teasing with his teeth... He knew how they liked it. What to do in order to frustrate or keep them away from the edge, but so, so close it would be maddening. Keigo loved it, hooking his arms around Akira’s thighs and tugging them closer, gripping them tight. Drinking in not only what his mouth took, but the sounds of pleasure, the desperate rocking of their hips against his face.

   Another guilty pleasure: ruining them this much. That they would rut against his face like the desperate, horny cat they were, egging him on to eat them up to completion. Keigo was always happy to comply, feeling them tense up, those thighs quiver with want...

   ...Not this time, however. The second the begging started, he pulled away for a proper breath, laughing a bit at how wet his face was. Cleanup time for him...but not for his kitten, oh no.

   “Wh-What...?” Akira peered down at him with the most pleading, confused expression, he almost felt bad for stopping so close. Oh, but almost doesn’t count, does it~? “K-Keigo.....”

   “What? You’re running pretty late, sweetheart,” he pointed out, standing up...and wincing a little at how his dick pressed insistently against his jeans. At least he caught their eyes glancing at the tent with needy hope, looking back up to him and meeting his gaze. “I gotta...wash up my face really quick, but I’ll fly you over.”

   “You’re really going to-”

   “Nah,” he assured, waving a hand. “I don’t leave you hanging, you know that! You’ll just have to wait for me, baby... Until after the QnA.” A pause, hand on the sink. “....Nah, actually... Wait for tonight, okay? I’ll take pity on you by then.” He laughed at the last sound he heard, a distant groan and a flop; must’ve laid back on the bed. Hands over their eyes, since their contacts were in... Yeah, he could visualize it perfectly.

   Distantly, he heard grumbling and then shuffling.

   “No panties, kitten~!”

   “WHAT?!” Keigo lost it, roaring in laughter over the sink. It took him a minute, looking up with a devilish, playful grin at his partner in the doorway, cheeks flushed and underwear in hand...arms crossed.

   “Ju... Ehehe, just kidding, babe,” he corrected, grin unable to be wiped away. “Wear ‘em. It’ll be more embarrassing for you, anyways.” So worth it to tease them, watching Akira roll her eyes with a huff, storming away. Mad though they acted....he knew he’d still be getting a goodbye kiss. A smile stuck on his lips as he finished, drying off his face.

   Today was gonna be fun~

[neko-shinigxmi]

   Okay, so I read BnHA chapter summaries and, uh. The most recent chapter actually requires me to reevaluate NekoHawks, so-!!!!

   If you don’t care abt spoilers or w/e, feel free to keep reading!! But I need to talk abt 299 and how it works into self shipping now.

   So... I knew on some degree that Keigo’s past is a huge deal, his name is a huge deal... He’s really had to “move past it” (whether he wanted to or not) and become the hero he always idolized in his youth. That much is pretty damn apparent. But 299 just showed the extent of all of that.

   With things shown in their proper light.... This really is making me think more about how Keigo and Akira function together, what it means for them to be dating, and so on. Especially because they’re both coming from similar backgrounds and that’s become so much more important now???? (Which is still wild to me. They’re so similar? The main differences between them being how their mothers acted, how their dads treated them, and the way that they lived.)

   Actually, I want to get into that. Akira, middle class life. Y’know, the “we’ve got enough to be okay, but it’s not great, either,” kinda deal. A mom who was a ridiculous optimist; so much so that it tics in for toxic positivity. Father was in and out, but left behind a really toxic imprint on Akira’s life.

   Since this follows their Hero Verse, both Keigo and Akira were stripped of their names (Akira changed names to “Maiko Inoue” while in school to hide from their past) to become the heroes they wanted to be. Distanced from their families and trying to even soar above their blood connections.

   Akira’s is really meant to be the early pin, which ends up settling bc it’s a solo event, no other heroes are also called out; things move along.

   Keigo gets found out far later and with a gaggle of other heroes falling all around them, failing to stop the might of the PFL. Endeavor just got knocked off the throne by his own son!! A child he thought had died! (And nearly did, considering the state of him.) Hero society is now crumbling to pieces...

   Which is interesting bc....I really have to consider what path I want to take with this ship.

   Before all of this, I treated Keigo’s name as though it was...discarded. Like a coin from his past, hidden away. To be toyed with sometimes, but forgotten in others. But not omitted from the tale like, say, how a Sith discards their name on the whole to be a Sith lord. Y’know? But the latter is what seems to have happened...

   So when does the name reveal come into play? How does having someone who loves him tie into his past? Is it a “I’ll tell you when the time is right” sort of tale? Or is it the Steven Universe “I love you regardless of your past; you don’t need to confess everything to me” sort of deal?

   Like... I think the one thing I could at least agree on is that the name doesn’t stay a secret for as long as his past does. As much as it’d reassure Akira to know they aren’t alone in having a villain father who they don’t want to associate with... It’s something, I feel, Keigo wouldn’t be ready to face for himself until this point in the manga. Which sucks, but-!!!! Akira would kinda understand, considering the circumstances and how just so everything’s been for him.

   But hey!!!! For the first time in who knows how long!! Someone saying his name and not just his hero title!!!!! Must be nice.

#Aki speaks #otp; nekohawks #bnha spoilers #this is.....So Much #BUT I LOVE IT A LOT HEYO #299 has given me a LOT to consider.... #also a lot of information in regards to Hawks #(past chapters give me shit to work on w/ Dabi) #there's just....so much going on... #[EATS MY HANDS] #WHOO BOY all this material for me to work with #and yet I must first control my emotions #good luck with that one!!!!

[neko-shinigxmi]

   My most recent boys and their candles!! (Plus anything I have w/ me right now...which I also believe is actually. All I have of them rn. But heyo! I’ll bide my time.)

   So...Dabi’s candle is VERY MUCH cologne-like. It’s got a sweet undertone to it, though, so it comes off as either A) a cologne he puts on randomly and it fades, but lingers pretty well OR B) a cologne he’d wear on date night.

   The mask was a gift from my boyfriend’s dad (bought off of Amazon and came with filters!) and the art is the only thing I have left of a button I got from @slime-grime. (I used to have a Dabi button; he’s long since been lost, however.) Fun fact, I keep the Dabi art in my phone-wallet, LOL.

   Hawk’s candle is SWEET. There’s also a cologne-like scent to his, but his candle is sweeter than candy. Literally makes me crave candy. I love it for him.

   My other merch of him... The pin is from RootisTabootus (Etsy shop is linked). The signed print was ordered from me by @mxstrongfork!! It also came with a little video of him signing it, which....that was adorable to watch. He’s such a goof.

   If it’s hard to see, I bought these candles from Otaku Scents! (They open at specific times/dates, so if you want to buy one of these, sign up to their mailing list or get notifications from their Instagram!)

   NEKOHAWKS ART. My second time drawing Keigo and I’m STILL trying to figure out....how exactly I’m supposed to do that.......but I’m DOING MY BEST. AND THAT’S GOOD!

   Anyways, my favorite hobby: doodling a representative of the ship. It started with Graveyard Shift (Sans’ skull with my shinigami-esque bat wings) and now NekoHawks can count itself among the ranks with this one!

   And then Keigo and Akira...idk, posing for the media, ig. It has the energy of “I wasn’t ready for this, but my fiance was and now I look DORKY next to him”. Which is.....probably how our relationship goes, LMAO!!! In retrospect...

   Also, if you compare this to NekoMight, you’ll see I colored the ears differently... That’s my bad. I thought about making the ears lighter than the hair, but-! I guess that’s noncanon now. Whoops....but oh well.

[neko-shinigxmi]

HEY AKI. I know I've probably sent asks like this before BUT have you ever imagined what a mission with Keigo would be like. How would you two work as a team?

   I HAVE DECIDED TO TRY ANSWERING THINGS instead of just. Staring at them!! Wrow!!!

   Anywho! Mani-Neko actually functions quite like Miruko in that they- primarily- work alone. It’s really stressful to guide and control sidekicks in their opinion. However, their preferred way to work is often alongside agencies! Almost like a “sidekick for hire” sort of deal, but without the money involved.... Usually. (Some agencies think this is really how they work and/or push the money on them, anyways. A little extra in pocket can’t hurt, right...?)

   Anyways, Keigo often imposes himself on Akira, so a official hiring is nearly never involved, if at all. In the early days of their partnership, it mostly functioned that way... However, nobody can deny the fact that between Keigo’s Fierce Wings and Akira’s Cat, they make a formidable pair.

   Akira is better known for close combat scenarios, so Keigo’s majority long-distance attacks work to cover their back and provide support without being too in the way....but when close combat all around is unavoidable, Keigo can use his feather blades and Akira’s spatial awareness- being top notch as it is- keeps up to his speed with surprising ease.

   There’s more tension and a sort of annoyance at Keigo’s persistence and constant badgering (as he’s won’t to do; man just loves playfully antagonizing people) in the beginning, but as of the part of their story that we’ve currently reached (married and living together), they work together fantastically as a team and Akira has furthered their own hero career a little bit thanks to tips from Keigo on how to improve distance fighting as a largely physical player.

[neko-shinigxmi]

✉️ It's a letter! Who could this be from? Why it's from your bird boy himself, Keigo! The letter states that while he wasn't able to see you today, he can't wait to catch up with you and he loves you so very much! Dinner date? ❤️

   .....A dinner date with Keigo is EXACTLY what I need, even though I know he’s gonna fucking....buy, like, 4 restaurant's worth of chicken-related products. BUT I also know that it means another night of teriyaki chicken and probably some tonkatsu because Keigo isn’t that mean and I just like to tease him for being such an addict for really good chicken...........

.: Summer Days :.

Mani-Neko is insecure, and Hawks thinks about how he wants to spend his future.

NekoHawks

   “...I never liked the summer,” they blurted out, eyes still focused on the hustle and bustle of the city below. An unexpected comment, but it caught Hawks’ attention enough to turn, a brow raising. He’d wonder where it came from, but the temperature has been going up lately... Not too much, but the humidity will be their downfall sooner or later.

   “Humidity too much for ya?” Mani-Neko is keeping enough eye out (and ear) for the both of them, so Hawks takes a break from watching life roll by to focus completely on his partner, a small smile already on his face.

   “That...and I’m tired of it. Very, very tired of it.” A pause, a certain pain coming into their eyes. “...Actually, I’m getting pretty tired of everything, Hawks.” That part surprises him; he’s always known Akira’s taken life pretty hard over the years- he’s seen it personally enough times to get the idea- but the pure pain that’s seeping in this time...

   He didn’t notice the buildup. And that’s where the guilt kicks in.

   “Hey, kitten... I’m so-”

   “Don’t be,” they say, cutting him off. A sigh leaves Mani-Neko, standing up, though not meeting his eyes. It’s fine for now- they function better not looking at people sometimes- but Hawks already knows it’ll make him nervous soon enough. He wants to see their eyes... See the pain and try to help. “I...I didn’t tell you. You would’ve had no way of knowing.”

   But he should know. He can’t help but feel he needs to be able to read those eyes better than anyone else.

   “...Is it anything I can help with?” They laugh in that breathless, sad way that makes his heart hurt. The sound of the defeated and exhausted. When Mani-Neko’s been cornered by their own thoughts...a villain so tough, not even speedy Hawks can defeat it.

   It’s so frustrating, but... There’s things he can do to soften the blow. He knows this. It’s all the more frustrating that they have to wait to get there, though. Waiting’s never been an option for Hawks, as long as he could help it.

   “Take over the rest of the shift?” Mani-Neko finally asks, voice soft and uncertain. “I...kinda want to rest at home. Focusing is-”

   “Say no more,” he assures, stepping closer and pulling Mani-Neko into a one-armed hug, kissing their forehead. (He’s always liked that about their hair; perfect for forehead kisses.) “Go home, baby. I’ll be there soon.” It’ll be easier to round up on, too. Solo-work means flying as much as he pleases for patrol. Much as he loves his baby, being grounded for too long makes him itch for movement.

   They nod, sighing out some of the stress...and press a kiss into his neck before they go. After that, Hawks is alone, and free to patrol as he pleases.

   Hawks is still flying on patrol when a certain glow of lights catches his eyes, pausing in his sweep to stare. A jewelry store...huh? Things like that have never really caught his eye before- and what jewelry he has typically came from what few modeling gigs he picked up in the early days to bolster his name, from the rings to the custom watch.

   Now, however... He watches a couple exist the store, talking happily about something. Though with the bright smiles on their faces and exciting chattering, it’s not the biggest secret on what they probably went there for, though...

   It gives Hawks pause, watching from above...and sharp eyes noticing movements in a nearby alley. Seems that couple wasn’t the only group who wanted to go shopping... It’s just such a shame these guys don’t seem intent on paying, if the dark clothing and masks are anything to go by.

   Dealing with them is almost too easy: first go the feathers to pin them against the brick, then Hawks swooping down himself, subduing anyone he missed or who was strong enough to get away... The bigger guy- the muscle or the leader...?- gives him a bit of trouble, but a smaller size and far more speed hands the win in his favor.

   After which, Hawks steps into the establishment, to the confused gazes of the workers and customers.

   “No problems, just helped you guys avoid trouble,” he assured, waving a hand casually with an even more casual smile. His eyes sweep over the store until he spots the rings, walking further in with no hesitation. “Cops’ll be on their way soon to pick them up...but in the meantime, could I get a recommendation on a ring?”

   The silence was quickly filled with shocked gasps.

   Akira was still up by the time Keigo got home, landing on their balcony with long-practiced ease and a newfound weight in his pocket. Unsurprisingly, his partner had already taken residence on the couch, watching videos off of the internet while mindlessly eating chips. Though judging by the paper plates he sees on the table, there had been other food involved at some point early on. Nice to know they’d extended their interests to other foods and not just chips.

   “Hope you’ve been eating healthy,” is how he decidedly calls attention to himself, opening the sliding glass door and stepping inside. As a point and testament to how much of a badass, gives-no-fucks his datemate is, they simply tossed another chip in their mouth before responding.

   “I eat healthy enough. Better, actually, since you’ve moved in.” A moment of pause as they swallow the remains of chip, giving up on the bag for now to focus on and talk to him. “Patrol go well?”

   “Quiet and happy for it,” he admits, a small smile on his face as he takes off his boots, taking them in hand and walking over to set them by the doorway. “Stopped a small group from jewelry theft.”

   “Oooohh, a classic. I’m surprised criminals still do that,” Akira remarked, an ear flicking. “Anything else?”

   “We’re past our bedtime, maybe?” Keigo grinned at that one, leaning over to swipe the bag of chips from their arms, ignoring the gasp that sounded and the pleading whines for him to give it back. “Clean up the table, baby. And brush your teeth, okay~?”

   “...You’re terrible.”

   “You only say that because I upkeep the rules,” he shot back with a soft laugh, picking up the abandoned clip off of the kitchen counter, rolling the bag up to clamp closed. Quietly pleased when he heard soft rustling; the sound of Akira listening to him and cleaning up as he asked.

   Getting ready for bed went on without incident. Snarky comments and hilarious retorts going on as usual, Keigo having to hang up his jacket for the night. Hesitating...but unsure. Was it even a good moment? Did they even want to...?

   He hung his coat quietly, then went back into the bedroom to get changed into his pajamas.

   “Called out of work for a spontaneous date...? I never thought you the type,” Akira hummed, arm in his. People gasped and crooned, took pictures as they would...but to their credit, Akira handled them so much better these days. Much as Keigo was loathe to admit it, most people ended up tying his image to them. The only reason their heritage was put aside, as much as early-days rumors went flying at how Hawks was going to experience “abuse” at the hands of his new, public lover. How he would surely be screwed over by that--

   He needed to stop thinking about that. It always pissed him off so much remembering how nosy and assuming the press had gotten when the news leaked. Here, Keigo had been trained by the best how to wear masks and appear personable and friendly to the public... Be anyone they needed him to be.

   But at that one moment in time, Keigo had considered some pretty unherolike stuff if it meant clearing Akira’s name.......but considering it would’ve put BOTH of their images in the trash to do so, he spent more time around them, calmed down, and then took it to the press himself. Together. Just so they could handle the media onslaught.

   Damn, it’d been embarrassing to have been shown up so easily by Akira...but he was damn proud of them, too.

   Ah, anyways. Akira benefits, they’re better off, and people love them. That’s fine, isn’t it? It’ll have to be.

   “It’s a day well deserved,” he hums, sending a few feathers out to help some lady who’s dropped her groceries. Much as he’d love to help everyone, as per usual...he can’t waste too many today. Gotta keep his wings together for a flight later.

   “It is...but you’re such a work addict, you know,” Akira points out, a brow raising. “What changed?”

   “Oh, just some thoughts I’ve been having...” As of a few weeks ago, on and off, but who’s keeping track? Surely not him, who’s pocket is once again burning as hot as Endeavor’s flames.

   “I won’t let you keep spoiling me like this, you know.”

   “Oh, you will. Especially today.” Akira’s steps stutter a bit, looking up at him in bewilderment. Even-footed as she is, that threw them off harder than expected. Especially today...? What does that even mean?!?

   “Wh-?”

   “Oh, here we are~! Just where I wanted us to be.” And yet, before they can ask, he’s stopped them in front of a fashion store...? Their eyes widen and stomach drops in sudden, deep embarrassment; they’ve brought this up to him before in passing, mentioning how they’ve always wanted to dress cuter- more feminine- and though Keigo’s been covering bases on the masculine side... They never thought...

   He drags them in, despite their flustered protesting, and for a brief, tiny moment......they’re kinda glad Keigo never listens.

   “I can’t believe you made me dress cute just so we could go hiking,” Akira huffs, tail flicking as they scale the mountain ever-higher. It’s more like...a steep hill- just small enough to barely count as an actual mountain- but at the rate their going... A lot of view is about to open up before them, regardless. “For someone with a Quirk that allows him to fly- No, I’ll just say it: this is so out of character for you, Kei.”

   “I have my reasons for it!” He laughs, hand firmly in their’s. Not even minding the sweat that gathers there from the cooling temperature compared to their warm bodies or the exertion on either side. “You’ll see. Just give it some time.”

   It’s easy to miss their grumbles, Keigo- at the moment- at tad more focused on working out his stress than his datemate’s obliviousness. Granted, it’s likely for the best; he risked enough pulling a last-minute “how are you on marriage” bit that he can’t believe gave away absolutely nothing of his plans.

   “Marriage? A weird time to ask...” They’d muttered over lunch, confused, but rolling with it. “I used to really want to get married as a kid, actually. However... I guess faking my identity curbed my fierce desire to get married by a lot; couldn’t exactly get married, if I wanted to keep hiding who I really was. But it’s never gone away in full. It’s just a matter of figuring out how I want my life to go and how hero work fits into that...”

   Well. Hero work can be figured out another day. For the moment, Keigo feels like doing something that’s only been becoming more and more obvious the more time passes...

   As expected, the view is gorgeous. The nature in the area is without compare...and the flowers in the distance only add to it. Farther out, even, the rice fields in eye-pleasing patterns. The wind cools them off of any worked up sweat, but Keigo needs to pull in his wings more to avoid being buffeted too harshly. Last thing he needs is his wings dragging him away in such an important moment.

   “Well... It’s definitely worth it,” they murmur, green eyes taking on a new light as she peers at every last flower and tree their eyes can pick up. It’s adorable, how greedy their eyes are for the sight...but that’s not why Keigo brought them up so high.

   His hand slips into his pocket, heart rate officially picking up a stressful, worrying amount. But he forces himself to ignore it, pulling out that box, taking a deep breath...and turning to face Akira. Stepping back so he could go down on one knee... Watching their eyes widen in shock, mouth falling open at the pose alone.

   The way their breath (and heart) picked up when he lifted up that little, dark green box.

   “I don’t know how this went unexpected,” he said, giving a breathless laugh. “But I asked how you felt on marriage earlier for a reason... Cause I never thought much about it until you. You made me start thinking about how much I want a little band on our fingers. How much I want a private ceremony for us...or maybe a public one, if you’re ready for another paparazzi showdown.” He grinned a little more as they clasped their hands over their mouth. Good reaction? Bad reaction? Fuck, he can’t even tell and it’s stressing him out.

   ...Might have to wonder if smiling is a stress reaction of some kind. Hmm.

   “What can I say? Wanna spend my life with you the old fashioned, official-by-the-law sort of way... What do ya say?” Well, he can only hope for an answer as he opens the box to reveal the ring inside. A simple band for now (he’s going to surprise them with the fancy shit at the wedding), but engraved on it all manner of the sweet nicknames he’s called them in their time with him...and with one of his smaller feathers tucked under the band. (A bit of a reference to one of their favorite games, if a red feather instead of blue.) Though fighting back tears at the sight of the ring now before them...

   Akira manages to nod, muttering a chocked up “yes” through what’s likely about to be a sob. It’s an immediate relief on all the stress that’s built up, wings spreading open in joy despite the wind blowing around them, accepting the pull against his body as he scoops them in for a tight, delighted hug. One of the rare times he’s been filled with laughter, burying his head into their shoulder.

   A snap sounds as the box closes, clutching it tight as his wings unfurl a little wider....and flap them into the sky, grinning so wide it hurts at that familiar little squeak of surprise from his now-fiance. Only spurred on with how hard they hold him, the soft tears of happiness, and feeling their heart beat just as strongly as his.

   They’ll be okay... He’ll be okay, knowing he’s got a home to come back to no matter what. To a partner who’s always had his back and can hold their own. He’ll be able to help them even more, spoil them whenever he wants...be there for them whenever they need him. Keigo... He’ll give them one of his feathers. To keep. Fuck, anything they want.

   “I love you, Akira,” he murmured, face pressing closer into their neck. Relishing in the simple pleasure of calling them by their first name...especially when he knows their last name will be his soon, too.

   “I love you, too, Keigo... So, so much.”

   Honestly, if I understand the algorithm by now... It’s likely reacting to you sending them to me, kdjhfgjfds. Which is great! I get secondhand Keigo!!! (But also, give them to ME, you lil shit of an app-)

   But you never look a gift vid in the comments, LMAO! And he’s just.....he’s great. He’s great.... [melts into a puddle]

   I’m in such a DUMMY SOFT MOOD over Wrench and Keigo and I’m just... I’m....... Hhhhngh.

   Lookit this nerd. He’s the pinnacle of perfection. Dorky perfection. It’s like that song “Nerd and a Robot” but it’s not about the girlfriend, it’s about the HUSBAND. And also with a few explosions thrown in.

   I am so hopelessly in love with this lil shit. Makes me smile, makes me laugh, makes me want to hug him and then never let go until he’s happier. Want to sit next to him and ask about every tattoo he has and I want to fluster him when I poke his skin at first, but then trace the lines of other tattoos. Not even knowing until later how much his face flushes at such a soft, curious touch.

   Spinning around hugs!!!! Just enough strength in that lean body to get my feet off of the ground and spin me around when we hug! Or just lift me and wiggle me side to side.

   Want to touch the mask and goof around with the spikes. Feel his skin heat up when trace the anarchy tattoo at the base of his neck...

   I just want to be with him and be consumed with affection. Especially with lil miss Princess Leia, our kitty cat...

   Sir, please. Do you know how much I love you? Do you know how frustrated I am at the Hero Commission for stealing your childhood away from you? (Do you know how sad it makes me, knowing we both missed out on our childhood experiences because of other adults and their mistakes...?) Do you know how much I worry for your goddamn life every damn day???

   If you don’t even know that, how could you know how happy your smile makes me? That casual look in your eyes, both bored and listening to everyone at the same time. When you get that little glint or look in your eye... Mischief at hand. I could stare at your face forever, with those gorgeous eyes, fluffy hair, that carefully managed stubble... You’re so ridiculous. I can’t help but love it.

   Give me some of your merchandise, dammit. I want to show off how much I love you... I want a plushie of you to hold; of you and Wrench, to keep you two close to my heart and in my arms, if I can’t be in yours.

   ..........and maybe I do want to marry you, too.... Maybe I’ll put up with the dry, oven-like heat and we’ll have a summer wedding. I don’t know... But you make me feel like having a band around my finger and knowing yours is hidden under your gloves....it has me feeling some kind of way...

   I’m jUST A LOVESICK LIL FOOL TODAY FOR THE MAIN F/Os AND I CAN’T SHUT UP!!! SORRY, BUT THIS IS HOW IT BE!!!!!!!

.: Day 3 - F/O February :.

Beach Day/Vacation

   Keigo and Akira find time amidst hero work to have a little vacation by the beach.

   Akira woke up to the familiar sound of waves that morning, sighing in pre-resignation as they opened their eyes. White walls and a tad bit too many windows, letting in the early morning light... It felt too early. When was the last time, even, that they woke up at such an early hour?

   Still, they laid there for a moment longer, passively watching the windows and taking the view of the room in again. Side table, doorway to the bathroom/walk in closet...and to their right, a faint view of vermilion.

   Keigo was still sleeping, an arm still draped over their middle, but otherwise face first into the fluffy pillows. It was nice, to see him so relaxed for once. Man of a million faces just to appease every damn facet life demanded of him, but to see him sleeping? Where he didn’t have to juggle them all, keep playing the part of...whatever anyone else wanted him to be?

   It was a relief so freeing, Akira’s heart hurt at the mere thought of it.

   They managed to wiggle on their side, more awake than before, and press gentle kisses over his face. Up his jawline to what bit of his forehead existed beyond a mass of fluffy, golden hair. He didn’t seem to wake, either, giving a small noise before sleeping on, unmoving. They laughed softly; yeah, should’ve expected that. Keigo Takami would sooner sleep past the zombie apocalypse before he woke up an hour earlier than usual. It’s just how he was.

   So they very, very carefully slipped away from him, his arm now stretched over empty bed, put their glasses on, and carefully crept away, not wanting to risk him waking up. Even almost entirely closing the door behind them, bypassing the kitchen to the living room area, and finally popping open the shades.

   It was a beach house in the US for a week, which was why they were both so damn tired. The flight had kicked ass and getting to the beach house, specifically, was no easy little car trip... Which is why Keigo then insisted on doing all the work himself, becoming completely exhausted by the time they made it to the house and settled in that same night.

   He really deserved all the rest he could get...

   Still, it was a lovely scene. The ocean was a few feet out, visible beyond the cliffs less than a mile out. The rest of the land was a bunch of tall grass, opening only for the lawns of shorter, maintained grass. Though what would be especially exciting would be the wildlife that passed through here from time to time, that they were so excited to show to Keigo.

   Deer, pelicans, seals, vultures, hawks (he’s going to LOVE those, they know it), seabirds of all kinds...and maybe they can go by the ranches and check out the animals there, too? There was a horse ranch not too far down the road...

   “Awake already?” Akira jumped in their seat by the windows, looking back to see Keigo, disheveled and still obviously sleepy. For a moment- despite having seen him shirtless plenty of times- they just...stared at him. A combination of simply being in awe of him, loving him, and the rustic look of the beach house... It made their heart ache all over again, taking in his features like it was their first meeting all over again. “Mm, I know I’m handsome, but c’mon... What’re doing awake so early, baby?”

   Well, being called baby certainly called them out of it. That, and he continued to step forward, until he was seated behind Akira and could wrap his arms around them all over again. Without even needing to think about it, they relaxed into his hold, leaning back into him.

   “Sun and the fog made it all just...a bit too bright.” They looked back at him, blinking curiously. “What about you? I thought you were still sleeping.”

   “Well, I was,” he mused thoughtfully, head dipping down to nuzzle into their shoulder, “but I think...I woke up not too long after you left. All I know is that the bed wasn’t that warm and you were gone. So I came out to find you.”

   “Mmm, I’m sorry...” Akira pressed a kiss to his head, much as they could reach. “I tried to not wake you up, but... I guess I did, anyways.”

   “It’s alright, geez.” He laughed at that, shaking them both with the motion, swaying them both side to side; rustling from behind sounded of his wings were stretching out. “No need to apologize... Glad I could wake up with you, even if I was a few minutes late.” Keigo sighed against their neck, grinning at the shiver that ran down their back. Kissing up and down their neck, teasing Akira with hints of his teeth, knowing how flustered and heated it would get them-

   “Anyways, baby bird, what’re we doing for breakfast~?” He left just as soon as he entered, Akira left sitting by the windows in a daze as his footsteps padded away from the carpeted floors, and into the tile of the kitchen.

   ......That. Was so. Beyond. Mean. They looked back in shock, only able to catch a glimpse of vermilion wing from their seat. What an asshole!!!

   “Awh, I was mean~?”

   “Like you didn’t know,” Akira grumbled, poking at the last of their eggs. The pout was adorable, but it was a damn struggle to leave it there. Keigo was slightly more tempted to kiss it off...but he also wanted to see them get more worked up! Decisions, decisions... “You’re such a meanie.”

   “And yet, you love this meanie, don’t you?” He could only grin at their squinty-eyed pout, nodding their head. “Good. I love you, my pouty cutie.” He leaned forward, using his fingers to tilt their chin up and kiss them softly, lingering until they were forgetting how to breathe...and only then did he pull away, delighting in the renewed flush to their cheeks.

   “...Meanie.”

   “Say what you will to make yourself feel better, kitty cat.” Keigo scooped up the last of his own eggs, shoving them into his mouth with all the grace benefiting of the number 2 hero...without the pressure of having to be that man today. Or the rest of this week. “So... What’re we even doing, anyways?” A pause for him to swallow down the food, cheek resting on his fingers. “I never remembered hearing of a plan...”

   “You expect a plan from me, Kei?” A brow raised, though his eyes were glued on them with that nickname, laser focused on future prey. “Nah, we’re doing what I do while here... Lots of wandering, reading, and having fun while getting outta the city. You’ll like it!”

   “Oh? And why’s that?” Akira grinned, cleaning off their plate for dramatic effect before taking Keigo’s plate, as well.

   “Didn’t I tell you...? Hawks live around here.” Keigo froze up, watching Akira go blankly for a long moment.... From the kitchen, they could hear a flurry of movement, a loud thump, and then muttered cursing following soon after.

   “HAWKS?!” He whisper-yelled in excitement, more thumping following each frustrated flutter of his wings. “There are hawks here?!?”

   Afternoon was barely reaching to twilight, and still Akira and Keigo were out and about. Despite the energy sapping that was yesterday, he’d insisted to fly around for awhile in order to find hawks. Dorky man nearly cried to be flying along with them once they were found farther out, hanging around before eventually heading out to one of the many small towns located in the area. Extra food and snacks got picked up to add to the fridge, then they dropped it off back home.

   Now the duo was walking around one one of the natural paths the community used, one that went each which way into nature...or continued alongside the other beach houses, right down to a lighthouse.

   “Think we’ll see the stars here, too?”

   “Like never before,” Akira assured, smiling up at Keigo a moment before looking back out to the ocean. It was gorgeous, that blue-green and the shimmering of the sun...! The skies had really cleared up since morning, leaving the sky a sweet blue and who’s colors were beginning to shift away as the sun sank lower into the sky... In the distance, a wall of grey that signaled fog later on. The usual.

   “...Yeah?”

   “I’ve been here before,” they admitted with a shrug. “With family... Mom’s side, anyways. Last time... We saw a meteor shower... I don’t remember it that well, I’ll admit, but I remember never wanting to leave.” Their gaze went up to the still-blue sky, as if to already be searching for those stars. “I...hated blinking that night, too. I didn’t want to look away.”

   “...Heh, I don’t need to look at stars to know how you must’ve felt.” Akira blinked turning to him, cat ear flicking atop their head. He could almost see the curiosity in their eyes, and it was hard to resist smirking...but he managed into a sweet, affectionate smile, leaning down to kiss them. Soft, but lingering. Pulling away only to kiss again....and again, before finally pulling away. “That’s how I feel when I look at you, kitten.”

   ...The blush that consumed their face warmed his heart, pulling them close as he laughed, pressing a kiss into the top of their head.

   “Ugh, I....” A pause, then a deep sigh. “Let’s just....go see if the seals are around. I was only a kid when I came here, so I want to see if we’d be okay to hang around them or...whatever.” Keigo could only chuckle, nodding as he nudged Akira’s back.

   “By all means, kitten...let’s go.”

   By the time dinner rolled around, Akira was out for a catnap and Keigo was on the couch, feet kicked up and reading one of the many books in the house. A ton of them were super old- pre-the glowing baby, even- and it was kinda interesting to see how things used to be before Quirks became so....commonplace. In fact, he’d originally been talking to Akira about all that, but at some point, they’d become resigned to sleep.

   So he let them, reading on his own while their head was in his lap and the rest covered up by a blanket dragged out of who-knows-where. He didn’t care, anyways. The book was damn interesting!

   ...Well, not interesting enough to prevent Keigo from realizing his stomach hurt and started to rumble. Right... Food. Kinda needed that, especially with all the calories he’s been burning today. The only issue was...the cat in his lap. Keigo Takami isn’t as much of an asshole as people give him credit for; he’s not above the law of “they chose you, now you don’t move”, but at the same time, food was important...and if he got up to make it, then Akira could wake up to food, too. One bird, one cat, and the stone.

   Keigo sighed, frowning a little as he carefully moved his hips out of the way, one hand spared to hold Akira’s head. Once he was safely out of the way and free, he slid a couch pillow under their head and snuck off. There! Problem solved, so now... Onto the next.

   What to make for dinner...?

   While attempting to decide, his eyes caught onto the chicken they had...and started to drool. Hmm, well... That, or there was chicken strips and tater tots...just got them today, but why not? With his datemate asleep, he had free reign of tonight’s dinner, as per the custom in the beach house. So really, there’s nothing stopping him but himself!

   And with that much figured out, Keigo checked the bags and got started on preheating the oven.

   “Of course I take an hour nap...and you make chicken strips and tater tots,” they teased, still sleepy, but eyes shining in amusement as they both sat at the dinner table. Now across from him, they played lazy footsies under the table.

   “Like this isn’t the best combo in human history?” He points out, a brow raising. It’s almost a pretty damn compelling look...but the dreaded crumbs around his mouth seriously take away from the intimidation factor. Akira can only smile at him, that “really?” sort of way that has him faltering a little. Where’d his charm go? Thing worked every time before this!

   “You’re right...but it’s also not much of a dinner.” A pause, dipping a tater tot into ketchup and plopping it into their mouth. “Mmm... I could cut up strawberries for us? Or if you still want to save them all for the ice cream, we could do a little berry bowl of the other ones? Cantaloupe slices?”

   “Cantaloupe, hell yeah!” He cheered, suddenly the embodiment of a five year old and Akira burst into delighted giggles, covering their mouth with a hand. The expression of sheer DELIGHT on his face along with the crumbs... It really just brought out a whole ‘nother side to him.

   “Alright, mister crumbs, I’ll do that really quick... Give me a bit.” However, the crumbs comment caught Keigo off his guard yet again, touching the sides of his mouth until he located the offenders of a crime...and it all made sense. No wonder his kitten wouldn’t take him seriously!!! He probably looked ridiculous right then!

   ...But remembering the way they looked at him, warm and affectionate... Maybe being a little childish like this wasn’t the worst thing in the world, huh?

   Washing the plates was a quick, quiet, and easy affair. Leftovers were packed away (surprisingly, there was still some left) and tucked into the fridge. They both got ready for bed...but instead of heading into the cozy mattress of the master bedroom, the two slipped outside and into the night, up at the waxing crescent moon.....and under more stars Keigo had ever seen.

   “...oh,” was all he was able to manage, pupils blown wide in awe and attempting to soak up every little detail of the glorious sky above them. In that moment, he could almost be jealous of his partner, knowing their view very well might have more quality to it...but unable to keep up that envy for long. Especially when they cuddled close into his arms, the waves sounding in the distance only adding to the mood of the night.

   “...Isn’t it gorgeous?” Akira murmured, ears pressing against his chest as they tilted their head back to look up at him. “See why I missed this place so much?”

   “All that and more,” he admitted with a breathless laugh. “Shall we get closer?”

   “Eh, I’ll regret it later, but that’s future me’s problem,” they said, happily letting Keigo pick them up and cradle them close. Definitely couldn’t help laughing a little at their shenanigans, though...and with a jump to start them off, they were soaring high into the air. So, so damn cold... Colder than the city by far, but Keigo couldn’t find it in him to care. The sky was radiant above them and in his arms...

   The moon reflected double; in their eyes and glasses. His eyes could even pick up faint light of the stars, all caught up in their eyes...and once again, he was breathless. Breathless and in love and in awe...and for once in his damn life, uncaring of every wall he’d ever built. That was something for city Keigo to worry about; for now, all he had to do...was hold them a little tighter and not focus on everything else back home.

   “...Keigo?” Their voice was so damn cute... So small sounding like that. A mystery how he let anyone in this deep. Afforded himself to care this much for someone else, even if they were another pro-hero.

   “...I love you, Akira.” Warmth radiated from them in the cool night, head tilting to press their forehead to his. Flustered, but still showing signs of affection, even now.

   “I... I love you, too, Keigo.” A smile grew on his face, eyes lighting up...and kissed them under the light of that moon. Still high in the sky, basking in the moonlight and the light of distant stars... Heart full and at peace.

#FOFebruary #FOFebruary2020 #self insert #self insert community #self ship #self ship community #Aki Stories #otp; nekohawks #THIS IS THE LONGEST FIC I'VE EVER DONE I THINK #PLS REBLOG IT #I'M SO SO DAMN PROUD OF IT AAAAAAAAAA

[neko-shinigxmi]

OMG HELLO AKI I AM SO LATE BUT I'M here and I wanted to send you an ask! I know you're a big tsundere and you know what that's a mood, but what was it that drew you to Keigo, or Wrench or even your new beau, Cloud? Gimme the deets pal ❤️ (also I hope you're okay ilu)

   Ah, D..... Thank you. ; o ; Honestly, I think Wrench escaped the worst of it, Keigo experienced some (bc he surprised me), but OOF, SORRY CLOUD. Full tsundere mode for you.

   I think what’s pretty funny, though... Is what drew me to Keigo and Reg is basically the same thing? They caught my eye for something that stood out about them (Wrench’s mask and Keigo’s hawk-look due to his Quirk) and then endeared themselves to me for their personalities.

   Both have the issue of “wearing masks” in the way that Wrench is literal to represent his emotional/mental state (it’s a comfort item and also helps him be more confident, especially since he’s insecure over his birthmark). Keigo has the more “true form” mask, as he has PLENTY of public faces he exchanges for each situation. The cocky hero who frustrates everyone. The friendly, public hero who helps everyone without consciously putting forth the effort to do so and even entertains kids by letting them pet his wings.

   There’s the double agent, who walks every line with careful precision....and somewhere, under every mask he’s ever fashioned.... Is this lost little kid who was taken in by the Hero Commission for a potentially powerful Quirk, and trained from a young age by making him think he could be a great hero like his idol (Endeavor).

   They’re both ridiculously tragic, but at the same time, don’t let it get them down. And I guess I relate to that a lot, since I do my best to act in the same way..... Except I typically overwork myself and overextend my kindness. So it’s them (and the rest of my F/Os) groaning in unison when they see me at it again!!!! (Sorry, guys; I cannot stop being kind until I’m drained of energy.)

   This is getting long, so Cloud will be under the cut.

   What drew me to Cloud... FF7 was a lot of fun, but nobody really stood out to me outside of Aerith. Maybe because I vaguely remembered Final Fantasy things, so I was easily more focused on her; I’ve only ever remembered that you can date her or another girl and then she dies! Stabby. So I wanted to know more about her more than paying attention to everyone else. (But as usual, I see child and am also endeared to them; Marlene is so PRECIOUS.)

   However, I follow someone on my main blog who was reblogging Remake gifs...and it was kinda this realization of, “Oh... His eyes are really, really pretty? He’s got a really cute face....... WAIT A MINUTE!!”

   And then his personality just ended up being a ball of fun. In FF7 // R, he thinks he’s so cool! Tough SOLDIER man!!! He’s ex-SOLDIER and here to do merc work! ...But he also smiles without realizing it, makes noises when using element materia (”boom” he says, using thundaga like a DORK), cares too much and can’t put on the breaks, but oh my GOD he’s trying to be so cool and indifferent... He can’t, though. He’s too much of a dork.

   ...And I said it before, but I’m sTILL thinking about how he relented to the kids of the s5 slums by saying he only needs 3 gil to defeat the monster nearby their hideout....cause he’s having a sale today on frog kings.... CLOUD, PLEASE. JUST ADMIT YOU’RE A SOFTIE. IT COSTS NOTHING TO DO THAT.

   I love all my dorky, unable-to-work-with-their-feelings men cause y’know what? Mood. Emotions are difficult and opening up is hard and we’ll figure it out together. Support from all sides!!!!

Stargazing for you and Keigo your birb boy ❤️

Selfship Drabble Asks

9.Stargazing

and @giranswife, who requested the same!!

   “Stargazing?” Akira turns to him in surprise, watching the birdie boyfriend pace around their apartment. He didn’t even live there in...any sort of permanent way (though he’s slept over plenty of times, enough so that he has some clothes over in the guest bedroom), but the way he strides around here and there, gathering things... One would certainly think he might’ve!

   “Yeah. I’ve already got the transportation settled,” on cue, his wings flutter, “and I’ve thought ahead on food. All I need now is my hot date.” He turns back to them to wing, smug smile only softened by the look in his eyes. While their face does heat up (he’s naturally attractive; it’s not fair!!), Akira still raises a brow, propping an elbow up on the armrest of the couch, chin resting into an awaiting palm.

   “Well, that, and three of my blankets, huh? The good ones, too...” He blinks in surprise, looking down at the bundle near his feet.

   “...You have good and bad blankets?” Akira rolls their eyes with a sigh, ignoring the slight smile that grows on their lips. “Not like that, you dork,” they point out as they pass, walking down the short hall to the end cabinet, pulling out a dark green blanket. “Just ones that I take care of more than others...and on that note, this one for the ground. I’m not letting you put ANY of those on the ground.”

   “Fine,” he huffs, bending down to hand back a grey blanket, tossed haphazardly on the couch by Akira in response. “...Y’know, some days, I don’t get you at all.”

   “Good! Makes it more fun that way,” they pointed out, grinning, hands on their hips and tail swishing behind them. “So... When do we go?” Keigo looked them up and down a moment, then back into their eyes.

   “Well, if you’re ready to go...?”

   “I’m not.” They laughed as he groaned, shaking his head. “But I’ll get ready right now... Don’t be a whiner about it~” To that, he smacked Akira’s ass as they passed, squeaking in surprise and glaring back at him. A smug grin the only response they got.

   “Oh... This is nice.” Keigo had taken them quite some way out of the city and into the countryside, but... The forestry nearby, the setting sun, the soft sound of wind... Akira itched to wander around. Get lost, maybe. Something about being surrounded by nature always gave them that persistent itch to get lost in it all.

   ...Though glancing back at Keigo, who was setting up the blanket, and the delicious smell of chicken... Nah. They could bother sticking around. The thought made them smile, walking back over and closer to him. “Ya got it?”

   “Mhm.” He was as neat as they were, making sure it all held up nicely before putting the food on it, and taking the blankets Akira had been holding on the way over. “And perfect. Shall we eat, to open the night? Would probably be a good start.”

   “You’re telling me,” Akira whined, flopping back onto the blanket and toeing off their shoes. “I haven’t eaten in hours... I’m so hungry.”

   “When...was the last time you ate?” Akira could only shrug in response, pulling out their box of food in a hurry, desperate to eat. “If you don’t know, you should be eating more often. You know that, right? Can’t be anyone, much less a hero, without eating right.”

   “Oh, could you give it a rest?” They stuck their tongue out at him, rolling their eyes as they refocused on delicious chicken and fries... Sweet, yummy food~! What a treat!! ‘Specially since Keigo bought it; always nice to not have to delve into the bank for things. “You sound like......well, anyone ever when they hear about my eating habits.”

   “It’s a sign you need to change, kitty,” he points out sharply, a brow raising. Making a small noise, he opens up some sauce, dips a fry in, and jabs it into the side of Akira’s mouth. “Eat.” Unable to do much, they’re forced to give in to his persistent ways, eating it up carefully.

   “Geez, it’s fine, Keigo... I’m eating now, aren’t I?”

   “And you admitted to being bad at it. I’ll be annoying if I have to. If it means you’ll eat more.” Grumpy mumbling is all he got in response, but... They really dug into their food, bringing a little smile to his face.

.:.

   As the sun went down and conversation did as it will, the two eventually found themselves wrapping up in the blankets, curled close with Akira laying down, Keigo sitting up, but still with space between them. Waiting longer more for the sky to darken and stars to become fully visible. Enjoying nature as it was until then...and the turn of conversation.

   “You had a crush on All Might?” His brow raised, looking down at Akira with amusement. “Isn’t he like, ahhh, I don’t know... Ancient?”

   “So what?” The whine in their voice has him losing it, giving into laughter...much to their growing embarrassment. “He’s a supportive sweetheart!! Of course I had a crush on that!” A beat. “Well....and he is really attractive...”

   “Oh, yeah? And you’re the expert~?”

   “N-No! But I have worked with him a few times. He’s loud, but...” They shrugged helplessly, face burning in the growing nightfall. “I ‘unno... Crush was still there.”

   “You’re just into older men,” Keigo sniffed, shaking his head. “And naive as hell.”

   “Don’t be mean,” they muttered, smacking his arm lightly. “I don’t... Well, not saying I don’t happen to like a few older people, but...I like people around my age, too. I just...don’t always focus on some stuff...if I like the person a lot.”

   “So... You have a crush on other people~?” The one thing he zeroed in on... Of course. Akira flushed more (somehow possible) and curled up more underneath the blanket, tail even tucking again their legs.

   “M-Maybe.” Keigo’s grin widened, lowering down so he could lay next to Akira proper. Wanting to watch this go down...cause it wasn’t exactly a secret that he’d gotten far more attached to the kitty hero than even he’d ever expected. However, much to his amazement...this had occurred to nearly everyone except the very person right next to him. His own damn crush, not taking a hint... Even as he inched his into their apartment. What an oblivious dork...

   Made stuff like this more fun for him, though. The “will you, won’t you” of hoping they’d like him back, never hearing a yes....but never hearing a no. For someone like him, manipulation should’ve been the name of the game, but accidentally, over and over...! Akira would get ahead of him. Would trip him up, get distracted, forget the conversation... It baffled his mind every time it happened.

   Not this time. No escape or dodging the questions this time...

   “So... I know the lucky fellow~?”

   “Who knows,” they murmured quietly. That makes him raise a brow.

   “...Do they do hero work?” A slow nod. “Hey, there we go! That’s already more information than I usually get from you.” A pause, wondering... Sometimes, an upfront approach is good, isn’t it? Why not?

   “Is your crush...me~?” He winks, despite knowing Akira can’t very well see it, and waits. Waits for confirmation, denial, avoidance....anything.

   ...Yet, the silence continues. No response. No confirmation or denial. Shit, he’s wondering if they’ve fallen asleep and left his poor damn heart cold when they shoot up suddenly, eyes wide behind their glasses as they look up above.

   Avoidance, then. Damn... Should’ve known.

   “Whoah, the.....the stars...” Despite the fact he wants closure on this, he wants an answer...he looks up with them, a smile growing on his face. It’s hard to be frustrated over a stubborn crush when the sky looks that beautiful. Stars so brilliant and vivid that one could almost see the galaxy at large from just this spot.

   It’s incredible. It’s a view he knows well, in the rare times off where he can fly away and breathe for a damn moment...and now, there’s someone with him. Someone with a cat Quirk who won’t acknowledge their feelings- his feelings towards- them, and sometimes... Things like that have to be dealt with.

   In the best way Hawks knows how to do.

   He gives Akira a few moments to take in the view, feel in awe, and so, so small...before he nudges them with an elbow. Scooting a little closer, too.

   “Hey, want to know something?” They hum a response, but he nudges them again, watching their head finally turn to look from the sky to him...and he leans forward.

   Under an endless blanket of stars, two warm faces and bundled up in their own blankets.... He kisses them. His hand over their own; cold, but warming up.

   ...A gorgeous night, indeed.

   I’m gonna info dump here bc I’m LOSING it and I don’t think anyone’s on Discord rn and I NEED TO YEET AND SCREECH--

   NekoHawks AU: Hawks the Villain and Akira the Pro-Hero

Hawks defected from the heroes and became a villain. Akira, despite her father, defied him still and became a pro-hero, rising above her family... Her father, specifically.

It was Boss Hayashi that told Takami about his daughter. How frustrated with her he was. Hawks took it upon himself to bother the miss...only to realize he’s already gotten in deep. He’s interested damn near immediately, while Lucky Cat won’t give him the time of day.

He fixes his act somewhat, if only to lure them closer. Learning more about them (whoops, wrong pronouns on the first meeting; that probably didn’t help their opinion of him) and only committing petty crime and being lazy about things the SECOND he knew Akira was on his tail.

Only Akira would be allowed to catch him...but the flirtations were a major distraction for their focus. Kinda liked him, but... It’s not good for a pro-hero to have feelings for a villain.

Doesn’t stop Hawks. He pursues them at every turn, even putting the effort to wear out his wings so he can hide them easier; taking Akira out on dates, admitting his name to them, and generally just. Being a huge flirt.

The make out once in an alleyway because Keigo been a pain again for the heroes. As usual, he only let Akira near...but the police were really through with him, huh? Had to pull the “hide in an alleyway” trick...and with him so close, well.....

Making out a tad bit desperately from pent up emotions on both sides. Keigo is still frustrated that he couldn’t make any marks on Akira’s neck, due to the collar they wear as part of their hero costume.

Akira is in a damn tizzy over what they did, but Keigo don’t give a flying fuck; that’s his job, anyways. Proceeds to figure out where Akira lives. Helps himself inside. Akira’s just..... Y’know what. Fine. Tempt fate. Let things get worse......

They SO don’t want to hear any shit from their dad, however.

To Keigo’s credit, he doesn’t brag about his relationship to anyone, not even Boss Hayashi, their father. He’s too aware they’ll make him turn on Akira or use them as bait for other pro-heroes....and the thought of the LoV hurting them makes his blood boil.

The only pain they deserve to feel is the kind they like, far as he’s concerned. Damn birdbrain might be a villain, but he still does have his lines in the sand.....and hurting his kitty ain’t one of ‘em. Anyone who does? They’ll hurt more then Akira did, and that’s a promise.

Protective bird. Their relationship brings out more animalistic instincts in both of them, so Keigo gets worked up a lot more and defensive (still the best damn liar in the world). Akira’s always on guard and prepared for the worst; they really have to take the time to calm each other down the second Keigo can get back home.

Is the dating official? Nope. Is their relationship? Kinda??? Keigo just kinda....eventually moved in one day and now they live together, unofficially.

Akira didn’t mind it then, didn’t stop him, and now definitely doesn’t want to, despite their conflicting morals over everything.

Keigo understands, but still trusts them not to turn him in to the other pro-heroes. (Not that he doesn’t have nightmares about it, terrified he’ll wake up one day and that all of this will be one big lie.)
