Running my fingers through my hair, I slump against the couch in Keigo's dressing room while I wait for the oversized bird to get out of from behind the curtain so I can lock up the office. My eyes slowly drooping as I release a tired yawn, groaning as I check the time, pouting about how long it's been since the end of my shift. Why is he taking so long?! He's a tiny man! How does he take ages to get changed?! I swear guys take ages to get themselves ready!

It's insane! I want to get home. I want to have cuddles with my dog. I want to spend time with Rumi and Amai! I want to get into my comfy clothes and watch movies! I want food!

"Keigo! Hurry your ass up! I wanna go home!" I whine, hitting my head head against the pillow resting in my arms against my chest. A small groan leaving my lips as I hear Keigo chuckle to himself, "Keigo! Don't be a dick! I wanna go home!"

"Be patient, baby bird, I'm nearly finished," Keigo says with a small chuckle, throwing the shirt he was wearing earlier over the curtain and making it land on my head covering my face making me whine, "Unless you wanna come in~ We could have some fun~"

"Oh my god, keep it in your pants," I exclaim with a little giggle, pulling the shirt off my head and folding it up while setting it down on the desk. A small smile on my lips as I turn around when I hear the curtain being pulled back, the male now clad in his hero uniform, with a charming grin on his lips. So, to play along, I pretend to swoon making him chuckle and catch me, "Oh my! It's Hawks! I'm saved!"

"You're so adorable," he says with a chuckle, poking my nose as he helps me to my feet and pecks my cheek without thinking making my eyes widen and him freeze. The winged hero clears his throat and rubs the back of his neck nervously, the male looking away to try and hide the bright red blush dusting over his cheeks, "Sorry... I — I... I don't know what came over me..."

"I — it's fine..." I reply, biting my lip gently as I look down at the floor, finding my shoes rather interesting with a small sigh, clearing my throat gently, "L — lets just go home..."

Nodding quickly, Keigo pushes past me without another word and heads out the office making me sigh gently. Yet, despite the rather awkward moment, a small giggle leaves my lips as I smile like a giddy little school girl. My insides bubbling with excitement as I walk out of the dressing room and lock the door with a small click. Running my fingers through my hair, I head down the hallway with a small hum, turning off the lights of the hallway as I go through the building. Flicking the switches with a click, humming as I make sure each room is locked shut.

As I leave the building, I lock the two glass doors shut after punching in the code for the burglar alarm and the security cameras. After making sure the building is locked up, I head down the street for a couple of steps before allowing my wings to spread and boosting me into the sky. Smiling to myself as I fly through one of the clouds ahead, giggling as some cloud catches onto my wings.

However, my smile begins to sour as I realise that maybe he didn't mean to do it. That the kiss wasn't mean to happen. My insides coiling in anxiety as my wings begin to puff up. What the hell was going on? What was I thinking?! Of course he didn't mean it! Why would he?... Why are feelings so confusing?! Why are they so difficult?!

I really needed to speak to Amai...

As I descend to the ground, I grab my house keys and allow my feet to touch the ground before unlocking the door and heading into my home. A giggle leaves my lips as Angel instantly races over to me and jumps up at my legs, her front paws grasping for leverage on my thighs as she barks happily up at me. Happily, I pull her into my arms and press a soft kiss to her fluffy white cheek releasing a giggle as she wriggles and barks in my arms.

"Hey gorgeous, hows you and feathers?" Rumi asks with a laugh, grinning toward me as I walk into the living room, "Join me so I'm not the third wheel! These two are killing me over here!"

"Oh? Is Arata home?" I ask with a small smile, giggling gently as Rumi nods cringing before throwing a pillow toward Amai and her boyfriend, the male laughing and throwing the pillow back toward Rumi who kicks at it, "Hey Arata,"

Arata Yakanua. My older sisters rather annoying yet rather handsome boyfriend. He had unruly curly black hair that was often messier than a bush (although he tell us everyday that he brushes it). He also had bright  blue eyes that were the colour of the sky, Amai often went on and on and on and on about his eyes. He wasn't buff, per say, he wasn't a stick either. He was in the middle. He works as a cop down at the station so he often works with many heroes (his favourite is Ms Joke). His quirk allows him to see through buildings and walls, which is helpful in hostage situations to get exact numbers and locations. He's not that bad, to be honest, he's just really full of himself and very annoying.

"Hey (Y/n), got frisky yet?~" He asks playfully, laughing as I flip him off and slump into the sofa, leaning into Rumi who pulls me close and presses a friendly kiss to my temple, before grinning as Angel trots into his lap, "How is my favourite makeup artist?"

"I'm alright... just had a long day," I reply yawning gently, resting my cheek against Rumi as she pulls me close, "Can I ask you something Amai?"

"What's up? What's he done now?" Amai asks tilting her head, arching a brow as I shift nervously on the couch, playing with my nails with a small sigh, Amai sitting up, "(Y/n)? What's he done?"

"He hasn't done anything... I just..." I begin, biting my lip as I try to find the right words to say. Trying to word this in a way that Amai won't kill me, or Keigo, "Uh... how... how do you know when... when you like someone?..."

"When you like someone?" Amai asks with a growing smile, giggling while Rumi squeals clapping her hands, "Who do you like?!"

"I — I don't know if it's that yet! That's why I asked!" I whine, covering my face while Rumi pokes my sides with a bright grin, the rabbit hero squealing happily, "Just answer the question!"

"Well... when you like someone... it's different for everyone but... I guess your stomach feels like it's in knots... like you have butterflies," Amai begins explaining, looking toward Arata who coos and kisses his nose with a small chuckle, "When you're around them, you feel happy and at home. They make your heart flutter... they're everything you want,"

"Does (Y/n) - Cham like someone?~" Arata teases with a smirk, his eyes gleaming with playfulness as I flip him off while sticking my tongue out making him chuckle, "Who is it?"

"I bet it's Hawks," Rumi teases, smirking toward my rather sheepish form, giggling to herself as I try to sink as much as I can into the couch. The white haired female gasping in realisation, "Oh my god?! It's Hawks?! You fell for him didn't you?! Oh my god!"

"Why don't you tell the whole neighbourhood Rumi? I don't think the guy in a coma at the hospital heard you!" I hiss covering my face with a small groan, whining as Rumi shakes my slumped form with a giggle, "It's not a big deal... it'll go away..."

"It is a big deal! You've fallen for him!" Rumi squeals happily, clapping her hands as her ears happily bounce, "This is so great! You two are so great together! Don't you think so Amai?"

"Mhm..." Amai hums softly, biting her lip as she leans into her boyfriend, Arata frowning in confusion, "Just great..."

"Wait... I'm confused?" Arata begins, looking toward me for answers, "Isn't it supposed to be a good thing that she's found someone she likes?"

"Hawks used to bully me a lot in high school," I explain softly, biting my lip nervously as I look at my lap almost guilty. I really shouldn't be feeling like this should I? And there's no way Amai's going to be happy about it, "He was the reason I had to leave high school and move somewhere else... he wasn't a very nice teenager..."

"It's like you don't care about the bullying anymore," Amai speaks out, glaring toward me making me feel guilty. My insides coiling around each other as my heart sinks. I really shouldn't be feeling like this, tears gather in my eyes, "He made your life a misery and now you're crushing on him... it doesn't make sense..."

"What? So she holds onto that moment where her life was hell and just continues like that? She stays depressed about the whole situation?" Rumi speaks up, crossing her arms over her chest almost irritated, "Hawks hasn't hurt her since they started working together, if anything, he's been nothing but kind to her. Yes, he was a shit person, I'm not denying that but what's the point of holding onto the past? What's done is done. You can only grow from that,"

"I'm just saying, what if he hurts her again?" Amai asks, trying not to sound rude or spiteful but she can't help but glare toward Rumi now who rolls her eyes, "I'm not having him hurt her like he did,"

"What? So you're gonna shame her for feeling differently about someone now?" Rumi asks glaring, getting just as agitated. Arata can feel the tension radiating off my sister and he visibly winces as Amai narrows her eyes, "She's never felt like this toward someone before and now you're going to take this away from her? Just because she likes him doesn't mean he's the one. And so what if it's Keigo?"

"Rumi! You weren't there when she was crying her eyes out every day because of him!" Amai seethes, getting more agitated. Tears flowing down my cheeks as I look at the floor and play with my nails, covering my face with my hair as I sniffle. Why did I say anything? Of course I shouldn't be feeling like this... a small sigh leaves my lips, "He's a player, too! He's gone from girl to girl to girl! How do we know (Y/n) isn't just a fling for him?"

"Because he talks about her all the time at work," Rumi replies, her foot banging against the floor angrily, "Usually if it's a fling, we won't hear anything other than it was a good night. He adores the crap out of her and he lets everyone know it! His intern knows it! I know it! Other pros do too. Even Endeavor! It's the happiest we've seen him in a while!"

"Could be a lie," Amai points out, crossing her arms over her chest. A small sob leaves my lips as I wipe my tears away with my sleeve, "He's a snake, Rumi,"

"No he isn't, he's a decent guy," Rumi defends him, her nose angrily twitching as she runs her fingers through her hair, "He's a hopeless romantic and loves spoiling the crap out of someone! He's been sending her gifts!"

"Wait... those... those flowers and stuff were from him?" I ask softly, gulping down a small sob as I look up toward Rumi through my hair, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, the flowers and the love hearts and the chocolates were all from him," Rumi replies turning toward me with a small sympathetic smile, the girl wrapping her arms around me and engulfing me in a huge hug, "Don't be upset, Amai's just got a stick up her ass... you follow what you think is right, okay? If you wanna go for it with him, do it. I know he'll feel the same way,"

"You're insane," Amai seethes, storming out the room with Arata following close behind, sending me an apologetic smile as I snuggle into Rumi with a small sob.

"I shouldn't have said anything..." I mumble softly, wiping my eyes with my sleeve as I sniffle, my breath laboured, "You don't have to tell me it's wrong Rumi... I know it is..."

"Hey! Don't say those things," Rumi says cupping my face in her hands and kissing my nose gently making me giggle weakly, "You're so beautiful, (Y/n), and you deserve the world. You do what you think is right. You could have left your job that day when he walked in but you didn't because you're stronger than anyone. You rise above it and become that bit stronger and that's what makes you, you. You don't let people get to you. You've both built this relationship together that may seem weird and strange to others considering your background but it's still beautiful,"

"You really think so?" I ask softly, looking up at her as she engulfs me into another hug making me giggle and hug back, "It's not wrong?"

"Of course not, you two are made for each other," she says with a smile, grabbing a tissue from the side and wiping my eyes, "Love is a strange and powerful thing, and hey, you could say my relationship is fucked up and weird but it doesn't matter what anyone says because we're happy. You do what makes you happy, you're the one in the relationship, no one else,"

"Wait? Who are you with?" I ask intrigued, giggling as Rumi blushes gently, "Is it a villain? Do you top them?"

"Yes and yes, and I'll tell you in due time," Rumi says with a giggle, pressing a finger to her lips as she grins, "Boys are strange creatures, honey, what they think is affection could be mistaken as aggression. I know Keigo can be an ass sometimes but deep down he really does care for you, honestly,"

"Thanks Rumi,"...
