"GOOD MORNING (Y/N)" Hawks yelled while slamming the door against the wall. He wore his hero costume and looked happy compared to yesterday.
I jumped out of the bed.

"Why are you so happy?"
"Because today you're coming with me. We're gonna go to the Hero Billboard Chart."
"But why do I need to be there? I'm only your secretary."
"I want you to see me up there and I want you to be proud of me."
"Fine." The only thing that convinced me of going there was Hawks' smile. I didn't want to change his mood.

"You should wear your hero costume, because we need to patrol after the event."
"So you mean that I can use my quirk again?"
"Yup. But only if I tell you to."
When he closed the door I went towards the closet and took my hero costume out.

'Finally. I can't believe that it's been 2 weeks since I last wore it'
I hugged it tightly against my chest and spinned around with it.

The building were the Hero Billboard Chart was held in was full of people dressing elegantly or being in their hero costume. Most peoples were staring at me while whispering something to another person. Some people also stepped back when I walked in their direction.

Hawks probably noticed me looking sad and insecure, because he hugged me with his right arm. His right arm was now resting against my waist.
I heard people gasping when they saw where his right arm was.

"You're making it worse Hawks." I tried to whisper, but failed because more people paid attention to us while we were walking around.
"I just wanted you to feel protected."
His voice showed me that he was serious and that he was kinda pissed off.

I was sure that they probably hated me, because of the thing that I did 2 weeks ago. Hawks told me that there were reporters and they filmed us. It went viral in a short time. Many people commented that I don't deserve the freedom that I've now and that I should rot just like AFO. It still hurted me to know that so many people think bad of me, because of it. Most of them didn't even know the story behind it.
I didn't tell Hawks about my feelings of the hate that I was getting now, because I deserve it. After all I've put 3 pro Heroes in a pretty bad condition.

We finally arrived to the room where the event is going to be held in. Hawks went towards the podium and I was sitting in the front line. I slowly noticed that all heroes that were also sitting in the front line walked away and sat somewhere else leaving me alone. Now I was the only one sitting there.

I tried to keep focused on the event that was held in front of me, especially since Hawks was now talking and he seemed to enjoy it. I was happy that he became  the number 2 pro Hero in Japan. He was flying midair and looked to the audience. His eyes met mine and I saw that his happy face changed to a worried one. I was confused about the change and then I felt it.
Tears were streaming down my face. I couldn't let him see me like this so I ran out. I heard him yelling my name but I kept running.

'I'm such a nuisance. I ruined Hawks' mood because of my own ignorance. I knew that I shouldn't have come. I don't deserve his affection.'

I felt a tight grip against my wrist. I already knew who the person that held me in place was.

"Why are you crying?" He turned me around and saw my red face. He wiped my tears away with his gloved hands.
"Is it because of the people that were mean to you? You shouldn't care about it. They don't know what really happened and they aren't better than you."
"I don't deserve the affection that you give to me Hawks."
"Please calm down (Y/N). Everything will be fine." He started to hug me and petted my head.

I felt a presence behind Hawks and lifted my head to see the person behind me. There was an angry looking Endeavor. I lightly shoved Hawks away and he looked confused. I pointed a finger at Endeavor and he turned around looking at him.

I only saw Hawks being dragged away by Endeavor and heard Endeavor yelling at Hawks.

"Well, Endeavor is going to patrol with us. Right?" Hawks slapped Endeavors back which caused him to look angrier.
Endeavor couldn't scream in front of Hawks, because we were in the hallway and he wouldn't get a nice reputation as the now number 1 hero. So he nodded.

"Hawks, why are you even patrolling with her?"
"Because it'll be fun."

'Yay that will be fun'
I thought to myself sarcastically.
