Please

I hummed softly to myself as I threw away my, now dirty, Clorox wipe that I used to wipe my desk off. Putting my laptop, papers, and files back on the desk.

Kei was gone for his internship and Keigo has been flying off a lot lately, so out of boredom I cleaned and rearranged my whole office. Without the energetic sunshine at the agency it was rather boring. I was kind of hoping I could spend some time with Keigo but he flew off, saying he had someone to meet.

I sighed and plopped down in my office chair again, my eyes were drooping and before I knew it, my eyes shut and I was snoozing.

My dream wasn't much, just smoke filling my nose and making my eyes water. My arm hairs were getting singed and my face was hot. Blue flames were surrounding me and I was reminded of the day I walked on that hill...and saw those flames...and heard his cries...

My eyes snapped open. Keigo standing over me a smirk playing on his lips, "Good morning Snowflake."

My eyes took awhile to focus, the feeling of the smoke was still there, and my vision was fuzzy. "What are you doing in my office?"

"Well, I came back awhile ago. Aaaand, I wanted to see you." He leaned on my desk and crossed his arms, his eyes were filled with a glint of an emotion I didn't quite know. His gloved hands were stuffed in his jacket.

I bit my cheek to fight back a smile, my heart skipped a beat, "Why?"

"I had something to talk to you about."

"About...what?"

His bottom lip found it's way between his teeth, and I hated that I took the quickest glance.

"Well, you know how I need a few new sidekicks?" He started.

"yes."

"And we went to the Festival to see if I could find any?"

"Well, I didn't know that, but I guess."

"Well-"

"Keigo, just tell me what it is and stop starting you sentences with 'well'" I snapped.

He huffed, "Fine Snowflake. I sent out a few invitations and a student at U.A. accepted." 

"So we're going to get a new sidekick?" I raised a brow.

"Yep." He confirmed.

I pursed my lips, "Who?"

"Fumikage Tokoyami." 

I closed one eye, squinting. I tried to remember who this kid was. The only kid I was really watching was my brother and I couldn't really remember any other kids. "Oh! The kid with the bird head."

Keigo chuckled and nodded, "That's him."

I clapped my hands together, "Great! When do we meet him?"

"He's coming over today, he'll be here in a few hours." Keigo smiled.

I jumped from my office chair, my knees popping. I put the last of my files away and slammed the file cabinet shut.  "Well, I'm bored. Can we do something?"

"Like what?" He smirked and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

I felt heat climbing up my neck and cheeks before I forced my quirk to cool down my cheeks, "I don't know. Something."

"That is so specific Snowflake." He sighed, his stubble was slightly itchy against my temple. 

I elbowed his side, "Shut the fuck up Bird Boy." 

He laughed and pulled me out the door, swooping up my in his arms and shooting up in the sky. I've grown used to this by now, and I didn't scream in Keigo's ears about him going to drop and kill me. Instead, I peeled my head back and let my white hair flow in the wind, a big smile gracing my lips. 

That was before Keigo decided to loosen his grip and throw me in the air, before catching me again. 

"KEIGO I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DO THAT WITHOUT WARNING I WILL KILL YOU!" I screeched. 

Keigo bursts out laughing, "Calmed down chickadee. I promise I'll always catch you." 

I rolled my eyes and pressed my body closer to him, ignoring my heart that was pounding. Half in adrenaline, the other half in flustered mess. 

After awhile, Keigo started to lower us on the top of a building. I slowly lowered myself on the top and sat down, Keigo sitting next to me. I smiled softly as I saw Keigo slowly wrap one of his wings around my body. 

"You know Bird boy, being your partner isn't that bad." I gently muttered. 

Keigo sighed and pressed his shoulder against mine, "Of course, working with me is absolutely amazing." 

"I take it back." I scoffed before I sunk into his touch. 

We sat in silence. Not the awkward kind though, the kind where you could just sit and feel like everything was fine. I let out a small laugh, I don't think I've felt this safe. Even if I was sitting on a really high building with a cocky bastard who I've only known for about two months, who was also the man I was hopelessly falling in love with. 

Don't fall in love. You mustn't put yourself first, you're not worth it!

 "What?"

I was snapped out of it by Keigo's questioning glance. 

I gave a forced smile, "How can you be happy with someone?"

He seemed taken aback from the question, his beautiful golden eyes going wide and his face scrunching up. "What's this about?"

I let out a shaky breath and stared into the sky, my eyes were focused on the gliding clouds, "You know Keigo, I'm falling in love with you." I said bluntly, "And now I don't know how to be happy. I was never happy with Kido, he never really loved me. I've never been...noticed I guess by my family. And the one person who I loved more then anything," I squeezed my eyes shut. "I don't know if it's possible."

Keigo fell silent, his breathing came in deep and he cleared his throat. "I guess you should know, that you do have love in your heart. You can be happy when you can share it with someone." he said lowly, "You know, you're not unlovable. You were just giving your love to the wrong person who couldn't understand how you felt."

I felt a tear slip out of my eye. 

You can't be loved. That's why Touya left you. That's why Kido never felt anything more then a good fuck with you.   

I shook my head, "But-"

That's when Keigo shut me off. My face buried in his shoulder, the fur of his jacket tickling my cheek. "Don't say that." he whispered in my ear.

A shiver went down my spine, I clutched his arms that were holding me tightly. I breathed in his cologne, a smelled a hint of wood spice. 

"Why do you for me? I'm so rude and I don't like anything."

"That's a load of shit." He smiled and I felt his wings wrap around me, like a second pair of arms, "You're sarcastic, you're selfless, beautiful, and you should see your face when you talk to the kid. It looks like you're the most happiest person alive when you talk to kids." 

I stayed silent, soaking up all the words Keigo just said.

"Yukino, you are the most...amazing and beautiful person I know." He pulled back, "And I'm falling in love with you too."

I smiled and slowly put my hand on his cheek. Keigo smiled back and leaned into my touch. 

I wanted to stay here forever. My heart was swelling in my chest and I felt an explainable feeling in my whole body. I made me want to squeal like a high school girl and giggle, and twist my hair on my finger.

I gently pulled back, "We need to go meet Tokoyami." 

Keigo brushed a kiss on my fingers, "okay."

He wrapped his arms around me and we started to fly off again. This time when we flew, I wrapped my arms around him and pressed a kiss on his neck before I leaned into him. Like I was going to melt in his arms.

I didn't know when the tears started, but I knew they weren't for any sad or depressing reason. Rather, I was finally able to wrap my arms and press my lips on someone who loved me.

Really loved me.

I smiled.
