Who are you

I Can't

1 WEEK LATER

"And how does that make you feel?"

Aizawa placed his elbows against his knees, fingers tangled together in deep thought. Therapy has been intense these past few days, bringing up a lot of complicated emotions, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the beginning.

He let out a sigh, before answering Dr. Blanely, "Stuck. Like there's no way for me to fix things"

This session consisted of his feelings towards not being in contact with his so called secret lover. He made it clear he had no intentions on calling her that, seeing as though she was more than a lover. She was a friend. She was someone he held dear and that's what makes this so hard. He put her in a situation where she had to be called such a thing. It was embarrassing. He hated that.

"Feeling stuck can be another way of saying you feel like you're out of options. You mentioned earlier she hasn't contacted you, so you've been keeping busy, but have you tried reaching out yourself?"

He thought about it, but didn't feel it would be appropriate. He's at fault for the initial argument, so if he called, it looks as if he was trying to save his own ass. "No"

"I see. Why is that?", she furrowed.

"It would send the wrong message", he said.

"And what message would that be?", she questioned.

"That I was avoiding her and took this long to reach out to make myself feel better", he stated.

"Well is that the reason you would be reaching out?", the Doctor asked with genuine curiosity.

"No, not at all", I defended.

"Then I would give it go. Reach out to her and maybe you'd be surprised of the outcome. Despite having quirks that can help solve other problems, we're still human. We tend to overthink these scenarios and the simplest things can be the solution"

"There's no solution. I had sex with her knowing I was legally married and put her in the middle of my mess. How do you fix something that screwed up?"

"By being honest with yourself which you have been this past week. You've been having a difficult time with this because you care and that shows me you want to deal with the pain. You want to move forward and we will get you there, so reach out. Call her today and tomorrow we'll pick up where we left off. Sound good?"

Reiss P.O.V

"Haruki, please tell me there's rumors going around about me getting my job back", I whined.

"Sorry Reiss. Only rumors going around is about who Katsumi was sleeping with at the party", he sighed.

My eyes narrowed from the sudden news, "Who's asking?"

"Sakiya. She's all gossip and I'm telling her that it's not our business", he said.

Shit. I failed to even think what would happen if Sakiya found out. "Well...who do you think it was?", I muttered.

"Reiss seriously?", he scoffed.

"Oh c'mon, it's me. I'm not gonna go blabbing to the whole team. I'm just curious", I just want to see what he knows.

"I'm surprised you don't know. You've been stuck to her hip even after being demoted", he said.

"If you haven't noticed I was drunk the entire night because of that. I was barely sober when I woke up the next morning, so spill. Who do you think she was with?"

"Alright, I didn't want to tell Sakiya, but my bet is on Leon. That dude has been hitting on Katsumi all night. One moment they're downstairs chilling and next they're nowhere to found for hours. I was gonna go upstairs to check on her, but I just got my job back and I didn't want to lose it again for- uh...interrupting", he stated.
