Authors note- This chapter is gonna go one of two ways and I'm having a hard time deciding which way it'll end up. I would also like to say that this chapter is written in a very different style then all the others. If you guys don't like this style just tell me but I wanted to try it just for this chapter(:

Authors note- This is me after finishing this chapter. I would like to say it didn't go either of the ways I thought it would.

You step into his apartment, taking in every detail you can, although in all honesty there aren't many things to take in. His apartment is pretty bare and doesn't have much decoration. The place is also spotless and if you didn't know any better you wouldn't think that someone actually lived there.

"Please make yourself comfortable" He says as he walks towards the coffee maker, gripping the counter for a little bit of support.

If it wasn't for the fact that he keeps grabbing onto things for support I would've never be able to tell he's been drinking. You think to yourself as you sit down on one of the barstools that are next to the counter.

His apartment is laid out similarly to yours, a few key differences are there though. It's a nice place, it suits him.

As he stands at the coffee maker his mind races. Your in his apartment and sitting at his counter as he makes you both coffee. He doesn't even know what drove him to ask you to come in, he already felt bad for having you drive him back to his house. And now he feels like shit because he thinks he's wasting your time.

"How do you like your coffee?" He questions calmly. You tell him how you like your coffee and he proceeds to make yours first.

"Here" He says softly as he places the steaming mug on the counter in front of you.

"Thank you" you say with a soft smile before taking a sip. "This is really really good Sho" you say.

"I'm glad you like it" he says with a soft smile before starting to make his coffee.

You turn on your phone and check the time '12:56'

"Coffee at midnight, my favorite" you giggle

Aizawa looks at the clock in the stove and his face drops. Mortified at how late it is and that he invited you in for COFFEE at this hour. He probably seems like a creep. A million thoughts race through his head as he turns to towards the coffee maker.

"You look like you've seen a ghost Sho" you tease. He turns to and just looks at you, unsure of how to respond.

"I just didn't realize how late it was. Coffee at this time probably isn't the best for you" he says softly as he takes his cup out from under the machine and takes a sip.

"It's probably not the best for you either" you say as you look at him, admiring how handsome the man in front of you is.

"I'm used to it" He says as he leans onto the counter, his hands wrapped around the steaming hot ceramic.

"Are you also used to burning your hands" You laugh as you nod to the cup in his hands.

He nods and this earns a small laugh from you. He can't help but admire you, you look so pretty right now. You always do, but when you smile or laugh. And not the usual one that you do out of habit. The ones where you are genuinely content, those are breathtaking to him, and he would give anything to keep that look on your face.

He's tried to push these thoughts away, ever since that night when you got attacked he's been thinking like this. He really really tried, but he can't help it. It's no use trying to block out these thoughts, it's a losing battle so he just may as well give in.  Besides, all of these thoughts are platonic. So there's no harm in thinking them.
