Colleagues (Shota Aizawa x Reader)

~2~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quick A/N- This is just some help to decipher between the text message conversations: *You* and ~Shota~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You got home and sat down on your couch and sighed from the long day. You looked down on at your phone and had a small heart attack.

Shit... I just realized he gave me his number but I didn't give him mine...

You decided to text him first.

*Hey Shota, It's (Y/N). I realized that I don't think you actually got my number. What time are you guys going to the bar tonight?*

You sighed and waited for a response. You felt your heart slightly speed up at the thought of texting him.

Cut it out, (Y/N). He's your coworker now, you need to be professional.

You felt you phone buzz, and your body decided to ignore what you just thought to yourself, and you felt your heart start to race even more. You picked up your phone and opened the message from Shota.

~Oh wow, I feel like an idiot. We are meeting at 8, thanks for texting me. I'm sorry about that, here's the address.~

*Oh it's no  problem!*

You looked at the address, and your heart sank a little. It wasn't too far away, like if you wanted too you could walk, but your quirk wasn't really the self defense type, so you hated walking alone at night. You also didn't have a car,  so driving was out of the question.

*Hey, so like, I'm not sure if I can make it. I don't have a car, and as embarrassing as this is going to sound, I hate walking alone in the dark. I'm sorry!*

You sighed and put your phone on the coffee table and decided to make yourself some cup noodles for dinner. They had these back where you were from, but for some reason they were just better in Japan. You put a kettle on and waited for the water to heat up, and then you walked over and sat back on the couch.

You had traveled here from (Country of Origin, C/O) after you got the job at UA. They had paid for all of your moving fees, and it was really a great gig. You sighed and felt your phone buzz on the table. you picked it up to look.

~Where do you live?~

*Oh, I actually live a couple streets away from UA. It's like a ten minute walk haha.*

~Send me your address, I can pick you up. Wouldn't want you to miss this, it will be a good opportunity for you to meet everyone.~

*Oh gosh Shota! You don't have to do that.*

~Send me your address please."

You sent him the address and he didn't reply after that. You walked over to your kettle and poured the hot water into your noodle bowl. You turned on your TV to watch anime while you ate your cup noodles. After a few episodes, you looked at the clock. 

7:00, I wonder if Shota is actually gonna-

Your thoughts were interrupted by a knock at your door. You got off your couch and went to answer the door. It was Shota.

"Hey sorry I'm a little early, I thought maybe we could walk over. That way I can show you around a little, since you're new to the area." His hands were in his pockets.

"Oh that would be nice, I'm still in my work clothes though, I was just about to go get changed. You can have a seat on the couch, I'll be right back."
