Grass Is Green (Except For When It's Not)
When someone else walks through the door, the staring contest dissolved with his Handler as the winner after Hawks whirled around to assess the new threat in the room. Juice drips from where his grip had crushed the juice box, further staining his clothes and making a mess on the bar top. Hawks continues to blink owlishly at the newcomer. The person, who seems to be made of shadow, rather than it clinging to him, looks at him with mild interest, a towel and a bar glass in his hands. His eyes move to address Hawks’ Handler.
“He’s very,” the man pauses, as if choosing his next words carefully, "small.”
His Handler grunts in irritation, and Hawks almost chimes in that he's sorry, he knows he supposed to be bigger.
A hesitant pause.
“Was it-?”
“Fuckin’ drop it,” his Handler spits out.
“Ah, I see,” the other hums tactfully, and wisely drops the topic. Hawks thinks that his eyes are pretty, the color of a flower that grows in the part where he meets Touya sometimes, but he doesn’t tell him. He's not supposed to meet anyone, and he's not supposed to speak without permission.
Or: Hawks get's de-aged and the league takes care of him
