｢𓆄｣ "...I wonder how she's doing."

｢𓆄｣ "Knock knock! It's an early dismissal for Ms.Gainsborough!" Hawks announced as he barged into her little shop, comically dressed for their vacation: tropical vacation shirt to really hammer home their plans. He didn't seem to have a care in the world that he was pulling this during business hours. He was even so kind as to have strolled in with her own luggage behind him!

"You all set and ready to go?"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "An important one!" He shot up though, leaving his arms around her waist, just to return the kiss she'd given him earlier!

"That you happened to answer." She's not escaping his flurry of affection now..

"Pfft, what kinda question!?" That earns a laugh of her own before she shakes her head. She almost sounds defeated at admitting it, but she can't really say not to him...so!

"Yeah, Keigo. You're babygirl." Another laugh follows after saying so. He's so ridiculous.

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "It's totally doing something for you, though." After she kissed him, it earned a light laugh from him as he squeezed her lower half in a lazy sort of hug.

"Sounds good to me! Am I babygirl, though?"

"Keigo, you're being very bratty right now when we're trying to have a conversation about vacation planning." But unfortunately, it's working, seeing as she doesn't try to stop him. As he looks up at her with an innocent expression, she can't help but sigh and lean down to kiss him before she leans back, a hand brushing through his hair again.

"Sounds...good! I've got a couple of things in mind, so hopefully that'll make it easier on you! For now, though, let's just enjoy the night, yeah?"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "Gravity.....wavering." Oh, he's playing again, and sliding down her, just so he can look up at her from her lap.

"Oh!! Give me a list of what you want to do. And I can take care of it from there. How does that sound?"

"I don't doubt that it will be! I guess I'm gonna have to start putting together an itinerary, though, huh? Or should I leave that to you?"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "I 'unno, that's your call."

"It wasn't that bad. You're just thinking too much about it." Hawks leaned over and pulled his arms around her waist, "It'll be fine!"

"Just what am I gonna do with you, hm?" He was being ridiculous!

"On a real note, I hope I can do better this time as far as our vacation goes. I didn't take into account how hurt you were, so that made for a pretty...difficult time."

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "I appreciate a woman who could kick my ass. Go for it!"

"Guess I'll just have to come down to the agency and issue a duel to everybody then. How's that sound?"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "Hmmmmm!!"

"Why don't we stop talking for awhile?" He's playing!!

"Ooh, I'm your fave person? Pretty prestigious position! Anyone else fighting for it?"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "We love efficiency!" An he loves her!

"Uh, yeah! I think it's just what I need to get me out of this weird funk." Because he hardly slept during the Cotes lockdown he implemented! "Is it so wrong to want to spend time with my fave person?"

"Nope, 'cause I'm already half finished with my prep! Had some downtime sitting at the agency."

"Geez. That eager to go on a romantic vacation as soon as possible, huh?"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "Oh, dang, that's it? You can knock that out in no time!" He's quick with the praise!

"How about I pick you up from work then? Bags in tow?" And they can leave straight from there, he figured!

After she finishes her own froyo, she sets her empty cup next to his and leans over to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Not much, just need to make sure the kids and the shop will be okay." While she initially had her reservations about allowing children to work in the shop--if only for their own well-being--hiring Chara and Oliver proved to be an enriching experience for both the shop and clientele.

"I'm sure the girls and the others will take care of them just fine, but I thought I'd leave them both with some tasks to do, y'know? Gives them something to work toward."

A special Hawks shikishi board commission for the lovely @achlysfx! Thank you for commissioning me!!! TmT

[wingherc]

A special commission for a new friend! Please do not repost (Like/Reblogs OK) 

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "Oh don't worry about it, then."

"I'm sure you are." He's finished with his frozen treat, and now placed his undivided attention onto Aerith, crossing his legs and leaning forward.

"So. What business did you have to take care of before we officially get into vacation mode?" He tilted his head at her curiously after he asked, because he was honestly aching to get into the vacation mindset!

"Too bad you do sound like a sappy anime protag. Whatever that is!" It's appreciated, though. He's always good at taking the edge off in these conversations.

"Sounds like you're implying that you might just marry me one of these days."

"Hehe...just kidding."

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "Not to sound like a sappy anime protag." That was ironic....But, chat, he doesn't know. "But, I think we'd meet again if it were to come to that!"

And then she used his own spoon against him, causing him to grin his stupid lopsided grin he typically reserved for her!

"I'm willing to agree to disagree. I like what we've got going on anyway. How's that sound, dove?"

"I'm not worried, I just think it's something that everyone should consider before taking that step. It feels irresponsible and thoughtless toward the love we have for each other." He always says that, reassures her that he isn't going anywhere. And she wants to believe him, she does believe him, but she's seen many a friend go over the years.

She takes that plastic spoon poking against her cheek, sits up, and pokes his cheek instead. "It's because I love you that I don't want you to be devastated by me. Sounds pretty dramatic, I know, but it's true!"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ Silently, he perked up, not realizing this was where their night was going to go. "That's anywhere."

"What I think matters most is making the most of being together in the now, rather than living in fear of the potential future. What happens if neither of us leave, then, mm? We're both just waiting in the wings for something that may never happen? Talk about a boring way to live." Hawks was never one to sit still, and began to rock back and forth, playing with the plastic spoon in his mouth as he talked.

"Regardless. I think I'm gonna stay here awhile. And I'm just coasting on whatever waves get thrown my way." He poked at her cheek with the end of his plastic utensil. "You should stop worrying so much about things like that."

He's right that she's thought about it, but that's just it: it's only ever been something at the back of her mind. Not necessarily with him, but ever since she'd seen people over the years get married here. "In theory, I will admit it's a nice thought,"

"Everyone seems so happy when they get married, too. I don't think it's that simple, though." She took another bite out of her froyo before she continued, "You kinda have to be prepared to lose someone, don't you? I think that's where it gets...difficult."

"And honestly? I don't know if I'm prepared for that. If one of us leaves. If one of us doesn't remember. If one of us doesn't ever come back."

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ He's all too happy to steal a quick bite of her treat, humming in approval when her flavor of choice hit his tongue! Not what he'd personally get: but it was still good!

And, as she reassured him, what remained of his wing wrapped around her as he didn't have a free arm.

"Yeah...I know. But, it's going to get to the point where you're gonna think past it being teasing." Hawks shrugged and took another bite of froyo, "It's had to have crossed your mind if you keep bringing it up like this."

Before she can press him further, their frozen yogurt finally arrives, and that's her cue to gently remove him from her lap so they can sit and enjoy it properly. As they sit and enjoy themselves, Aerith even lets him sneak a bite or two of her own before she scoots closer to him, head leaned against his shoulder as she continues eating.

"I'm not being serious, y'know." she says all of a sudden, continuing off from their exchange earlier. "I just like to tease you. So if you feel like I'm putting pressure on you, I want you to know I don't expect anything!"

[wingherc]

｢𓆄｣ "Who said anything about being tense, huh? I think you're imagining things, dove." He's all smiles, but he's dying! "I 'unnnnoooo...Seems like a big decision to make." Though his expression, exuding all its total adoration for the woman definitely betrayed his words.

"Y'know! The one! Your special one, the love of your life, your soulmate. That kinda thing! Why're you getting all tense about it? I'm just teasing!"
