In 1 week.

KEIGO POV.

A week has passed since the day I met Touya and my eyes were bleeding. This week was more calm and I finally organized my thoughts in my head.

I also went to the doctor. He told me that the ribs are healing well and that they will be fine within a week, and that he doesn't know what caused my eyes to bleed, but that if it happens again, I should definitely contact him.

Today we had a smaller Hrudin event in honor of the new heroes. I quite like these events, so I was looking forward to it. I love social events. Rumi and I always prepared together and this time was no different. When we were ready, we got into the car and let ourselves be taken to the main building of the being.

When we got out, journalists immediately appeared near us and asked us various questions. My head was spinning about my injuries, when I would return to work and if I was okay in general. When we entered the building, the atmosphere calmed down. It was not a very formal event. Some heroes came here in their heroic clothes and others wore jackets or dresses. It wasn't a big event. It was held on the same day every year. He would speak for about an hour and then you could leave or stay and drink.

Rumi and I always stayed longer, it was our tradition.

When we entered the room full of heroes I relaxed. Immediately several "friends" came to us and we started talking. Later, the toast and speeches began. It wasn't so formal, so the guests kept talking, dancing and those who wanted simply listened during the speeches.

I was just drinking my third wine when I realized that it was Touya who was speaking. The journalists themselves were around him, and he smiled softly, talked and answered them here and there. I couldn't feel what the splash was too far away. His hair was as messy as always. The stance was straight and he was wearing a white jacket. For a moment, I broke into a cold sweat.

" Are you watching the new one? Blue fire? He's handsome, but so is everyone, from the Todoroki family," Rumi spoke next to me, and she was watching him just like me.

" It's... an old friend" I said and looked away from him.

" Oh, obviously very old when you never told me about him," she frowned.

" I really don't want to discuss this now," I said and grabbed her hand. " Will you dance?" I challenged her.

" Always with you Hawks" she laughed and reached for my hand.

TOUYA POV.

I stood at the table where Shoto was sitting, who was watching the people around him boredly. He looked like he always did. I don't think I need to describe it much.

" Do you want?" I asked and handed him a glass of red wine that I was holding in my hand.

" I'm sixteen "

" When you say" I shrugged my shoulders and drank from the glass. When I saw Enji smiling and talking to the reporters, I frowned.

" You also don't believe him, that he's changed," Shoto said without even looking at me. " They're all blind."

" Dear masterpies, I'm the last one who would believe him and even if he really changed. I wouldn't mind" I laughed and looked down at the floor. I immediately recognized Hawks, its wings could not be missed. He looked different than when we sat together for coffee. More relaxed and happy.

I just smiled and looked away from him.

" I'm glad Hawks is okay, he.. is a good hero" I didn't say anything to him and continued. " What happened between you two? You know.. he was quite broken when you disappeared"

,, It is complicated"

This was quite enough for Shoto as an answer.

After a few minutes I moved away from the table. " I have to leave now. Take care of yourself"

I said and slowly left the entire event area. When I went out, I immediately registered Hawks who was standing in front of the building and just staring into space.

When did he go out?

I slowly walked up to him and stood next to him.

,, You're okay?"

He waved it and turned to me.

"Oh, yes, I just needed some air"

" Understand" I said and opened the door to the taxi that was standing in the parking lot waiting for a person to seduce. I was already closing the door when Keigo stopped me by grabbing it and preventing me from closing it. I could see in his eyes that he had some words on my tongue but none reached me.

" Be careful" he finally said and slowly closed the door for me.

KEIGO POV.

Shit

I grabbed my neck and watched the taxi drive away. Finally I just sighed and went back inside.

I wanted to ask him why.. why was he pushing me away, did I do something wrong?

It was my fault?

After he left. I had so many questions.. so many thoughts.

I stepped into the room and stared at the parquet. I immediately noticed Rumi, this time she was dancing together with Fuyumi and their bodies were moving gracefully. Rumi just grabbed Fyumi's waist and gracefully tilted her back.

I took another glass of alcohol in my hand and sat down at the table.
