Saying that I was nervous would have been an understatement when Hawks dragged me over to the hefty number one hero. His glare was hard and stern, and the flames that whipped across his face made me feel much smaller than I was.

"Sunshine, meet Endeavor! Endeavor, meet the love of my life, (L/N) (F/N)!" The blond stood a little off to the side as I looked up at the man, offering my hand for a polite shake.
"Uh...It's great to meet you...I'm really sorry about...you know...his existence, and all that..." I chuckled shakily, and I wasn't sure if the rise of his brow meant that he was impressed or disgusted.

"Hmm...likewise, I suppose..." Endeavor reached out and shook my hand briskly, almost throwing me off balance. His hand was ginormous, and I was somewhat perplexed as to how Hawks had managed to avoid being beaten to death by such a man. We had only been there for a few moments, and I could already see just how much my partner annoyed him.

"So, how was the trip, my man?" Hawks tried to make some kind of small talk as he grabbed my suitcase from me, giving me that half-hearted 'let me do it' look. Endeavor shrugged his broad shoulders and looked down on him. I didn't like the looks he was throwing around so casually.
"It was fine. I assume yours was also comfortable?" Man, was he bad at this. Laughing, the avian man began to walk off towards the elevator, and I hurried to follow.

"Nothing but the best! First class for my precious cargo!" He beamed, and I could feel the revulsion radiating from the flame hero as he remained standing in the hotel lobby. "We'll be right back down! Just gonna stick these up in the room and change our clothes, 'kay, buddy?" We had arranged to have a quiet dinner; just the three of us, and even though I didn't particularly like Endeavor, I was glad that I could be a part of it all.

Once we had made it to our floor, I followed my fiance down the hall and into our room, which was quaint and cosy. Nothing overly fancy, like the first class seats he had insisted upon booking on the plane, and I was happy that it felt almost like home.

"You...called ahead and requested extra pillows...didn't you..?" I mused, eyeing the ridiculous pile of cushions and blankets stacked upon the ottoman.
"Well, duh! I mean, I know this is supposed to be a business trip, but once the official meeting is over and done with tomorrow, this is going to be a little getaway for the two of us." Hawks placed our luggage up against the wall and jumped into the air, gracefully gliding his way over to the bed and landing upon it in a lazy, almost kind of sexy position. "We could make this our own little love nest~"

The thought had my chest thudding hard. We hadn't been intimate at all since I found out I was with child; mostly due to the fact that he had rarely been home to initiate such sensual activities, but it was kind of a weird thought. I could only imagine how awkward it was going to be if we tried to have sex with my growing gut in the way, but I wasn't about to say no to such an intimate invitation.

"Aw, somebody a little horny..?" I teased, turning to my suitcase and unzipping it from the top.
"Well, it has been like, what, five months since I got to bury myself inside you? Do you know how hungry for you I am, Sunshine?" He was testing the waters, that was for sure; trying to get some sort of flustered response, and it was working. Keeping my heated face turned away from him, I pulled out a modest black dress from my messy collection of clothing. Two could play at that game.

"Starve." My wicked smile caused his vermillion wings to shiver, and I tried to ignore the way he dragged his bottom lip inward with his teeth. Making sure to be as cruel as humanly possible, I began to undress, slowly riding my shirt up and over my head.

Sure, my body may have been stretching and warping in all sorts of ways, but that didn't mean I thought he'd find it unattractive. That wasn't the case at all. Hawks was worshipping my form more than ever, and I could almost feel the heat of his desire as he ate me up with his lidded gaze.
