Slight obsession, Hawks being desperate for validation, tension-heavy banter and Reader being a little blunt.

—It was supposed to be a brief, simple meeting. Pro heroes gathered around the round table, voices ringing in the stuffy board room as they talk about strategies, schedules and villains that lurk in the shadows—watching, waiting to strike at the most vulnerable moment.
You, on the other hand, stood behind the seated Mt. Lady who was brushing a strand of hair out of her face as she joked with Kumui Woods, fidgeting your hero suit quietly. Like a sidekick should, you kept your mouth shut but ears open, hoping to at least gather information to help out on missions.
But, like any other meeting, this one was too boring for your liking. With a bored gaze, you wondered around the room—until he came in
Hawks always made an entrance.
Hawks isn't Hawks if he didn't.
His crimson feathers trailed behind him, soon attaching to his large wings, shades low enough to flash his golden eyes. Everyone turned, Everyone looked.
Everyone, except you.
Somehow, you weren't impressed like everyone else in this damned world. You just couldn't find yourself to hyped up seeing cocky man in battle, sure he had talent and skill but there was always someone more powerful than a man with wings.
Hawks lazily leaned himself on the circled table, cutting through the monotony of an atmosphere with his usual sly tone. "Guess the party started without me?" A few laughs and a few sighs—the man lived for the reactions and it didn't go unnoticed by your buried annoyance.
"Maybe if you were actually amazing, Pros would care if you showed up early or not."
The thought escaped from your mouth, blunt and sharp and everyone turned, the room went quiet by your sudden words, all eyes stared at your figure while some on Hawks. Some were impressed by your courage while some were annoyed by your intrusion.
Mt. Lady's chair twisted as she quickly blurted out an apology and scolded you for your actions in front of everyone, like a parent scolding their child for being rude to the elderly.
Hawks merely smiled.
Across the table, a smooth soft laugh rang out of his lips. "Ouch, I guess I'll take an L on that one." he joked, throwing his hands up in defeat, as if it was just a friendly banter between the two of you. Hawks laughed, airy and unbothered.
Yep.
That's right, he wasn't bothered at all. It wasn't like this was the first time for Hawks, he experienced this too many times to count. He wouldn't be bothered by someone commenting about his performance and attitude, Hawks wasn't bothered at al—
"Impressed yet?" His voice sounded a little too desperate for his liking but maybe that's enough, for you to actually say yes and take back what you said, say that he was actually so amazing now.
After the meeting, a giant villain appeared on the outskirts of the city. You fought along side Mt. Lady, giving back up and help when she called you, fully expecting that she'll take the spot light once more after defeating it.
That was until you saw red feathers blitzing through the clouds from above—and just like that Hawks appeared, defeating the villain in less than a second and somehow making it land just a few inches from you.
He stood on top of the giant, hands tucked on his khaki colored jacket, looking at your face for a reaction but you merely glanced before walking away, tending to the pouting Mt. Lady who complained endlessly about Hawks stealing her spotlight.
Hawks' eyes watched your retreating form, hands curling into fist by your indifference and lack of emotion towards him. It made his blood boil—it made his heart race. Finally, something more interesting than those lousy missions, someone more interesting than everyone else.
Unconsciously, a dangerous smirk crawled up his lips. He was going to break you, one way or another. That was a promise.
