Chapter 20

I woke up by the sun shining through the window. I took my phone out to check if I got any messages. Nope, I didn't get any, but I realized that I was late for work because it was 8 am


I got up and ran to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes. I had no time to fix my hair. While walking downstairs I realized that the clock on the wall said 7 am.


'Huh?'


I continued to walk and was surprised by a lot of yelling.


"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"


Confetti was raining and the whole room was filled with ballons, gifts and a big cake. It was so colorful. A lot of pro heroes were standing next to me and Tsukauchi was coming towards me and hugged me.


"Happy Birthday (Y/N). You're now an adult..."


That's right I'm now 18 which means that I can finally do anything that I want.


"Thanks everyone but that wasn't necessary.."


"Don't be so shy (Y/N) and celebrate with us you're 18 now." Ryuko said while pushing me towards the center of the room.


I met a lot of pro heroes whom I didn't see anymore since I was working in Hawks agency. The room was filled with a lot of chatter and music. Some asked me if I want to drink with them but I quickly denied it.


" (Y/N) could I talk with you in private?"


"Sure Tsukauchi."


Both of us walked outside and wore thick jackets since it was 9 pm and winter. We sat on a bench and stared at the night sky which was filled with thousands of stars.


"So what do you want to talk about?"


"I wanted to tell you how much I miss you and hope that you'll return home."
His eyes were now filled with regret and he looked at his hands.


"You need to understand that it was too much for me and I'm now 18. I can do what I want to."


"But (Y/N) you don't get it. I miss you. I miss the time when you were still living with me. It's filled with a lot of memories like when your quirk developed and your eyes turned gold colored for a second, because you were so happy. I can't stay there without you!"


"Don't worry everything will be fine, Tsukauchi." I petted his back.


I saw a tear falling down his face.


The party went on for 2 more hours. Many left and some stayed. I didn't get the chance to open any of the gifts.


'Wait a second where's Hawks? I didn't see him since the party started..'


I searched for him and asked some of the pro heroes where he was but no one knew.


"(Y/N) are you looking for something?" I turned around and saw Ryuko.


"Yes I'm looking for Hawks. Did you see him?"


"No, but I know that he's on a mission."


"Mission?"


"Yes it seems like it's a secret between the heroes but now you know it."


"Where is it?!" I walked closer to her. She remained calm while my hands were shaking because I was too worried.


"(Y/N) it's too dangerous."


"Please Ryuko. What if he's dead?! We would lose a strong pro hero and that would be bad for all the civilians!"


"Fine I'll tell you."
