hold your breath//Shota Aizawa

Chapter 11; In which Azumi gets Decked in the Face...Again

"What. Is. His. Name?"

"I'm not going to tell you when you ask with that tone, Maki. I don't condone murder." Keitsu sighed and reached over his bass guitar for his can of beer.

"He hung up on you. WHILE THE BOMB WAS STILL ACTIVE!" Maki's hair turned neon green with anger.

"I know, I was there."

"EXACTLY!" All three of his band mates shouted.

"He wasn't really obliged to. I mean, he didn't sign any contract binding him to the phone 'till the end so..."

"Still leaving you was a douchey thing to do." Tomo frowned. "I don't know how you managed to defuse it. I'd be losing my shit in there."

"Well, I was, as I was saying before I got interrupted. I panicked and I called someone else."

"Who?"

"I need you guys to not laugh at me, okay?" Keitsu patiently waited for them to nod and only once they did so, did he continue. "I called Aizawa."

"Pfftt-" Tomo let out before covering his mouth with his hand. "Ehm. Sorry, eh, something... was in my throat."

"Aizawa? Your coworker? Why? You barely mentioned him since we saw him and his friends at the gig." Maki frowned and Keitsu avoided her gaze. Dai silently studied him.

"You have a crush on him." Dai announced and Keitsu looked at him with betrayal.

"Dude, what is it with everybody saying that?!"

"You literally called him with what could have been your last breath." Tomotake commented offhandedly.

"That doesn't mean anything!"

"Okay, okay, if you say so. We're gonna do an exercise. I'm gonna say some names and you're gonna say the first song that pops to mind. Don't think about it too much, 'kay? Let's go. Tomo."

"My Alcoholic Friend by The Dresden Dolls." Keitsu shoots out, the song popping in his head almost instantly. Tomo looks rather proud.

"Dai."

"Mr. Policeman by Eva Simons." Keitsu grinned.

"Fuck you, Kei."

"Me."

"Oops I did it again, Britney."

"Aww, thanks. Your students."

"Teenagers by My Chemical Romance."

"Endeavour."

"Fuck You, Lily Allen."

"Saito Yukinaka."

"Fuck You by Lily Allen."

"Aizawa Shota."

"Fairytale by Alexander Ry-wait!"

"Guilty!!" Maki shouts and starts mimicking being a judge.

"Wow, that was easier than I expected." Tomo hummed and watched Keitsu's steadily spreading blush.

"It's not even that long." Sighed Keitsu and buried his face into his palms, resigned. "It just- when he was staying at my place and was being all cute with the cats and..."

"Is that when you started having feelings or was it when you realized you already had feelings for him."

"I..." Keitsu groaned.

"Oh my god... How long?" Dai asked, a bit more sincerely.

"I- I guess I've felt attraction since our first serious encounter when we actually spoke to each other."
