└─・。゚: ∘◦☾◦∘。゚. ─┘


You stayed at his place longer then you have anticipated. You expected to be home by at least sun down...you where home at midnight.


Sora had taken you back to your place out of respect for keeping you out this late. If it was anyone else you would have declined and headed off before they slipped on their shoes but sora was a nice guy. His personality was super addictive and charming, a nice difference from the people you usually talk to.


Once getting home you felt your stomach be all fluttery and your cheeks be all warm and fuzzy from the euphoric warm feeling that came through your body.


There it was again, it seemed every time you let yourself go you would get a sudden rush of warmth. You only ever felt this feeling with keigo...but it was never as strong as this.


Choosing to ignore the feeling you slip into your lounge wear as you walk to your bed.


The files met your gaze as you approached your bed and that warm fuzzy inviting feeling was soon replaced by a cold and unsettling feeling, a bittersweet taste reaching your taste buds.


You sat at the corner of your bed and lazily grabbed the files taking a look at them again. They never made it clear why they gave you this information. Where you a part of a bigger scheme or was it truly just a warning.


What ever it could be you decided not to dwell on it to much until morning.
——


Morning came and you where bright and early for work. Maybe it was from how such a good day you had yesterday...well mostly.


Your happiness even radiated from outside your office as you where back at seeing potential candidates of UA.Everyone in the building can feel your energy, even Sakura was a bit taken back, but she wasn't gonna bring it up because you know what they say, a happy boss a happy workplace.


The agency radiated in joy this morning.


" so your choosing these three-?" Sakura looked in disbelief " no I'm not choosing three, I chose three so you can give me advice on who's fit." You huffed a bit


First runner up was Class 1-A
Momo yaoyorozu.


Her quirk caught your attention. If you where able to train her to focus on both long range and close range attacks it would help you greatly. As well as her creation quirk coming in handy when you are in need of evacuation of an area due to how destructive and powerful your quirk really was.


Then there was Kaminari Denki


His quirk was something similar you had got as a side move.


Due to also being a support quirk you where able to use your own energy you use from your wings to create a type of gold electric shock to those around you, almost like lightning. You never knew why you had this but it came in handy. If you could mentor him how to direct his own electricity he can grow up to be a fine hero.


Then there's Katsuki bakugo


You knew him very well. The kid that was kidnapped as well as taken hostage by a sludge monster back in his younger years. His temper made him well known at the sport festivals too. Not many would be able to handle him, and believe you where one of them. But considering that he was in need of a mentor and someone to guid him to be a suitable hero you would be able to provide that.


You weren't popular. You weren't known, so you'll see how this would go.


Sakura looked over each kids file and sighed " I'll see who responds first. And we can choose that way" she smiled while taking them and bowing to you and you bowed your head down in return.
———


You got most of your work done today, that took a whole load off your Back. You where reading hawks file once again trying to put two and two together. You where breaking your head over something that probably didn't concern you...but deep down it really did make you worry.


Your thoughts where interrupted by a door closing and you shot your head up to see the man himself.


Keigo Takami.


You blinked at him, you certainly didn't let him in.


" I knocked for a minute and you didn't answer so I decided to let myself in" his cheery mood back on track...but it was unsettling.


You only saw that red panting mess as he grew closer to you. Your head felt like it was going to exploded for even thinking such thing. You snapped out of it as your heard him talk again


"..- your face is getting red are you even paying attention to me!?" He squawked while ruffling his wings behind him softly " I'm trying to apologize from yesterday!"


He was never easy on apologizing, he never had to do it before as often so admitting he did wrong was truly a ego crusher.


" no no I'm listening go on." You gestured while looking him dead in the eye. Even if that was the only image playing in your brain at that very moment you couldn't help but almost break character. Was there such quirk to erase memories?


"—- and I am sorry for acting so UNPROFESSIONAL, like it matters anyway because we are friends right? So we can move past it and hang out like we used to-" and you had missed the whole part again why he apologized in the first place.


It would be rude to ask again so you just sighed " okay- just shut up your killing my mood already" you closed your eyes and pushed your seat back to approach your friend.


After a fight you had the tendency to hug it out. Your friend taught you that. Her name was Irene, she was never around much but when she was she taught you a lot of life lessons, And well, these where one of them.


She would tell you that the way to the heart and a sincere apology would to be as close to the heart. The hug indicates both hearts being close and accepting each other's wrongfulness.


He looked at your outstretched arms like you where some sort of 3 headed monster. You took his facial expression to offense and indicted to him " hello I'm tying to accept your apology." You scoffed while moving in and hugging him yourself. He acted as he never hugged someone. Did he never hug anyone with sincerity?


The hug was truly only a few seconds but the awkwardness surrounding it was enough to make you pull away and place a fake smile to hide the uncomfortable expression you where so desperately trying to hide.


——————


You and keigo had gotten past the awkward atmosphere and went about your day with him like the good ol days.


You two had made it back to your home since his was off limits at all time. When you thought about it you where never really allowed anywhere near his property. You wondered why?


Sitting on your floor as you both indulged in crappy reality TV. While it wasn't your cup of tea it was fun to make fun of with your friend.


In keigos mind his head was still buzzing with who he saw you with the other day. He couldn't bluntly spurt it out that wasn't the vibe he wanted to put out.


He looked around to see what could possibly trigger that conversation. His eyes darted around the room and even to your phone but nothing.


He sighed wanting to give up until his eyes trailed to something that wasn't there before. It was a small vase of Lilly's that where adorning the entrance.


It was almost to perfect " wow I didn't know you where a flower type of person" keigo raised his eyebrows at you as you looked at him a bit confused and looked to where you had placed a few Lilly's sora had gave you. You hummed in understanding " you see this place looked to dead, it needed more life" you lied, it was the first lie you had said to him. But why? You could of easily told him sora gave them to you but..why did you have the feeling that would spark a bit more of awkwardness in the room.


You smiled trying to convince him more while he didn't seem to buy it entirely but it was enough to get through his thick skull.


He already knew the answer anyway, it was him that had gotten those for you. And it was him that was comforting you the day he had shun you away.


And it was him that was getting closer to your heart.
