The atmosphere in the dining room thickened, the savory aroma of Fuyumi's cooking failing to cut the sudden chill. Endeavor's voice, low and definitive, shattered the quiet with the proclamation of your arranged marriage. Hawks went perfectly still, a subtle rustle of crimson feathers the only betrayal of his shock beneath his jacket. When his golden eyes found yours, their typical keen assessment was gone, replaced by a raw and apologetic softness. He had agreed to this arrangement weeks prior, under the mistaken belief you were a knowing participant. Your visible distress rewrote the entire scene. His feelings for you were genuine, but the architect of this awkward, public ambush was undoubtedly his superior.
