Summary:

Hawks is sprawled on his desk, fast asleep, a frown creasing his forehead. Fumikage presses against it to smooth it. Hawks' eyebrows twitch then he relaxes fully, his breathing evening out further. If only removing the worry and pain from Hawks' life always worked out that easily.

Tsukuyomi's last patrol of the day ended at midnight — nothing to report. Few villains had showed up at all and those foolish enough to do had been taken care of swiftly. Night patrols usually worked out that way, satisfyingly so.

Hawks should have come home hours ago and is possibly asleep, or perhaps foolishly waiting for Fumikage's return. Fumikage smiles just as his phone rings.

The call comes from Mera. Fumikage sighs and takes it.

"Again?"

"Afraid so." Mera yawns widely.

"I'm on my way."

"Thank you."

A glance at Dark Shadow and of course they're on the same wavelength and ready to fly, as fast as Hawks once taught them. In the office building, Fumikage nods to the security guard who likely alerted Mera of the sleeping president, and wonders if it would be faster to just distribute his own number to the entire security staff at this point.

At the top level, Fumikage lets himself into the president's office. Hawks is sprawled on his desk, fast asleep, a frown creasing his forehead. That makes Fumikage frown in turn. Gently, he presses a finger against it, hoping to smooth it. Hawks' eyebrows twitch then he relaxes fully, his breathing evening out further. If only removing the worry and pain from Hawks' life always worked out that easily.

"Better go before he drools on anything too important."

Dark Shadow chuckles quietly then slides under and around Hawks, wrapping and expanding around him with such utter care and gentleness that someone who's only ever watched him fight as a hero wouldn't believe it possible.

Hawks doesn't wake up, but that's because he trusts them both fully.

They leave, with Dark Shadow above him carrying Hawks like a sleeping princess. As they step by the security guard again, shadows rise to hide Hawks when he appears so vulnerable.

This sight is private.

In the shadowy cocoon, Fumikage can feel how closely Dark Shadow holds Hawks, a tender embrace that warms Fumikage's heart.

Soon enough, they will be home, and Fumikage can get his fill as well.

Once they get into the apartment, they're careful helping Hawks change though truly, it was unlikely he would sleep through that as well. Bleary eyed, perhaps still more asleep than awake, Hawks shares a loopy grin, happy to see him, happy to see them.

Fumikage has been patient enough. It's his turn.

He walks up to Hawks and envelops him in his arms. Hawks also locks his arms around him with a happy sigh, cheek resting on Fumikage's shoulder.

"Missed you..." Hawks whispers.

It only takes a moment before his breathing turns steady again, close to a soft snore. Fumikage tightens his hugs before Hawks can slip to the floor, then slides his arms under his knees to carry him to their bed.

Later, they'll need to have yet another discussion about workaholism. For now, plenty of time for more hugging, whether awake or asleep.

With Hawks in his arms and Dark Shadow like a blanket over them, Fumikage sleeps.
