Free Falling | Hector & Eliwood (WingedAU)

@devotedscarletknight

For Hector, the best part of the morning wasn’t being able to see the way that the sunlight reflected off the clouds, creating a beautiful display of colors. His favorite part of the morning was being able to wake up next to Eliwood, who was always curled up in his arms. He looked around at their roost, taking in all the knickknacks and other treasures that he had collected on his journeys away from the nest, and smiled to himself before he gently ran his fingers through his partner’s hair. While he was doing that, his giant hawk wings shifted slightly, moving a little in order to make sure that his wings didn’t get stiff from being curled around the two of them all night. 

He rarely ever woke up before Eliwood, always preferring to sleep in instead of waking up the second that the sun started to rise. It was moments like these, with Eliwood asleep in his arms, enjoying the peace of the morning, that he treasured the most. He pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead before letting his eyes wander, drinking in the natural beauty that his partner possessed. There wasn’t a single thing that he would change about him, even though he knew that many other’s wouldn’t agree with him. His eyes lingered on his wings, fighting back the urge to run his hand over the small wings that weren’t big enough to carry the other man’s weight.

He had never minded that the other wasn’t able to fly, it wasn’t something that was a problem for him. He thought that Eliwood’s small wings were perfect for him, they just seemed fitting for the type of man that he was. He didn’t think that he would look right at all if he had his massive and powerful hawk wings. He knew that being unable to fly had given Eliwood some challenges that he had to overcome, but Hector was always dedicated to ensuring that he was able to live a fulfilled life no matter what. 

He only let those thoughts hang around for a few more seconds before he started thinking about what they would be able to do that day. He hoped that he would be able to take Eliwood flying with him, just to get away from their nest together for a little while, but he knew that they were also running low on supplies. He always hated doing supplies runs because it meant leaving his partner, even if it was only for a day or two, but he would much rather have him there with him whenever he left their nest.
