Burnt Out (Hawks X Reader)

Chapter 23: Leading On

I ended up staying with the league that night.

Not that I minded, it was actually fucking amazing because Toga was there.

But that's not my point.

The point is that I had stayed with the league without telling Keigo, and, well . . .

"Y/n, where did you go last night? I almost called the police to file a missing person report like three times."

Yeah.

He got worried beyond belief.

To be honest, I have no clue why he cares for me so much. I mean I'm just some girl that moved in with him, right? So why does he care?

"I just had to figure some stuff out with Netami," I responded. "I stayed the night with a friend, too. It's nothing to worry about."

I mean, technically I'm not lying. I'm just kinda twisting words.

Yes, I did stay the night with a friend—that friend being Toga and the LOV, now named LOLA.

And yes, I did end up texting Netami about the Hamilton play thing, telling him I'd be Eliza or whatever.

He gave the the whole fucking script and oh my god so many songs.

I think I might need to watch it before even thinking about looking through that.

"Sorry," Keigo said. "It's just, you left without saying anything and I thought I did something wrong. You just scared me."

That may be another reason I decided to confess to him. He kept leading me on by saying things like that. He kept doing stuff for me a boyfriend does for a girlfriend. Things like calling my phone when I can't find it, he's helped and supported me with my life goals, he's always helped me with my panic attacks and mental break downs.

Yeah, I think I see where I got the idea he liked me.

"Why are you worried you did something wrong?" I asked. "I'm not your girlfriend so you don't need to have mending our relationship as your first priority. Focus on what you have with Hezā."

"Y/n, you're still my friend and I care about you—"

"Well obviously I'm not a good enough friend since you didn't tell me about your relationship until yesterday," I cut him off. I forced my voice not to crack, not wanting Keigo to see that I was upset about this whole ordeal.

Even though I'm pretty sure he could see that just by looking at me.

"I'm sorry," I said, waving my hand around. I eventually rested it on my forehead, inhaling deeply. "I'm busy today. I have to get going."

I quickly walked to my room, grabbing my bag and guitar. I had signed up for a gig about a week ago. That's where I'm going now. A really nice wedding venue.

I'm gonna die with this emotional state I'm in.

This is a sucky filler chapter

Anyways, I'm kinda going through a writer's block so just deal with it

Peace ✌🏼
