I am sixteen years old, male, and human, I was raised in a house that isn't religious but celebrates the Christian holidays and also is homophobic. So I found out after I knew I liked the same sex as me. Two years ago we were at an Easter gathering...
I drove to the Cafe, carefully parking, so I wasn't blocking anyone else from doing the same. Walking in I glided to the counter ordering a, freshly squeezed sweet type of fruit tea, ashy vanilla flavor, at room temperature.
After I got my order, I sat at a table in the corner drinking my tea, and asked one of the ladies working there if I can get any apple bread. Which I got, I gratefully thanked them. Then finally Raven walked in.
He looked at me with a glint of happiness in his eyes. He order a black coffee and walked in the corner and sat down across from me. My breath hitched in my throat. His shoulders were visibly tensed.
"Um- why did you ask me to be here?"
He closed his eyes, "I thought you were interesting, so I want to understand why you are."
My cheek flushed with embarrassment,
He probably doesn't know what he is talking about. I got to stop thinking about relationships.
Then a memory came to mind.
When I was ten years old, I broke my leg, when I was running from my uncle and his friends. I tasted the sweet scent of the mountain rain. Well, I was younger then, take me back to the roaring fields in England, I know I've grown. Had my first kiss on a Friday night, and I don't think that I did it right. Grandpa Calgoerus left to sell clothes, Grandma Kertz works down by the coast, Uncle Cody had two kids but lives alone, his brother overdosed, Dad's already on his second wife, Justin just barely getting by, but these people raised me and I can't wait to go home.
"Hasabira? Are you with me? Hasabria? Hello?" Tokoyami was leaning across the table and waving his hand in my face.
I coughed, "Yes I'm fine. Sorry, I was just thinking."
"You sure are an interesting waiter." He said while sitting back down.
"Waiter?! I'm sorry I don't work there anymore. I got fired." I laughed nervously.
"Why were you fired? You seemed very good at your job."
"I got fired because I'm going to U.A. Hey! Did you ever get in?"
"How the hell did you know I was going to U.A.?!" His ruby-red eyes widen with shock and a dark fabric-looking shadow forms from his body.
"TOKOYAMI, PLEASE PUT THE SHADOW AWAY, I JUST SAW YOU AT THE PRACTICAL EXAM!!"
After that exchange, we all settled down and sipped at our drinks. We awkwardly looked at each other not knowing what to say. I thought I saw a deep red in Raven's feathers, but when I gave him another glance it was gone. Tokoyami's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, "So, how does your quirk work?"
At that moment I think my eyes sparkled, "My... my quirk... RIGHT! My quirk is called Rainy Night, I have to think of a liquid of any kind, which can be water, acid, or even lava! If I'm using the quirk I am unharmed. Rainy Night is also at its strongest at night, the moon makes a powerful glow so enemies can't see what liquid I have thought of! With make's it hard to train, when I am busy most of the day, so I have to work at night."
"Interesting." He stated.
"Tokoyami... you never answered my question, did you ever get into U.A.?"
He looked up from his coffee, "I have. You?"
"I did! I got into class 1A, I bet you did too!"
He nodded and went back to his phone and coffee. I fiddled with my thumbs. Not knowing what to do. He was so stiff like he doesn't want to be here. So I studied his appearance. His jet-black feathers, and pointy beak, the way he holds his head up with his pale bony hands, his chest moving up and down, maroon eyes hiding behind black eyelids, dark persona, and the cute way he shivers when a person walks by.
