Assistant (Shota Aizawa x oc)

(Un)Comfortable Silence

Tip, tip, tip.

The sounds of our shoes hitting the pavement were the only things that seemed to make noise as I walked with Shota. He was really quiet, but that's typical for him. He wasn't nearly as loud as his best friend...or me for that matter.

Which brings us to the question: why is he walking me home?

More than likely he just wants to be polite. But, then again he doesn't really interact with people so I don't actually think he's the polite type.

I swallowed the lump in my throat as we continued to take steps.

Now the only sound I could here was the sound of my heart beat pounding away in my ears.

Does....does he?

"So where do you live exactly?" he broke the silence first, which surprised me even more.

He was looking away, pretending to be entranced with a passing neon light, when all it truly did was burn his already tired eyes. He didn't want to look at me because despite only having two drinks it was causing him to continuously look at her lips. His body felt a little hot at the idea of kissing me. But, she's younger than him what would give him the right to try to kiss a pretty girl like her?

I couldn't help but smile at him, his actions of looking anywhere but at me almost confirming the thoughts I was having, but who knows it could just be the alcohol. If that's the case apparently we're both lightweights and we didn't want to admit it.

I know I'm not, and I don't imagine him being one either.

"Just up a few more blocks. I live in the Umechi apartment complex."

Why do I feel so nervous all of a sudden? My fingers were tangled in a strand of my hair trying to fidget enough to make me relax just a bit. Unfortunately my heart wouldn't stop pounding.

Does he really...?

"Oh, I see. So that's only a few blocks away." he finally looked at me, his dark eyes twinkling with the streetlights as they met mine causng me to now look away bashfully

This game of cat and mouse was really starting to annoy him. It was obvious that they both like each other. So why can't he just man up and tell her?
Or kiss those cute pink lips. They look so smooth and soft.

They started to move which caused him to snap back and not look at them, but back into those deep chocolate eyes that caused his breath to hitch in his throat.

Hizashi planned this didn't he? He knows exactly how he gets when he starts drinking a little bit of that liquid courage.

"Where do you live?"

Oh right, the other side of town...Should he mention that? Would it make it awkward? Would it be obvious?

"I live in the Shutoma complex."

FUCK. Idiot! Why'd you tell her that?!

Her eyes went wide, "Oh no I'm so sorry. You really don't have to walk me the whole way I can make it the rest of the way. I'm a big strong woman, don't worry about me."

She was looking at him so she didn't even notice they were already outside of her complex, when she finally notices the bright smile on her face fades and a deep pink spreads across her cheeks.

He can't help but chuckle at how cute she is. This girl really was hitting him like a freight train with all of the feelings he was catching so fast.

"I'm sorry you had to go all this way out of your way..." She was looking at her shoes trying, and failing, to not show how embarrassed she was.

"Hey can I ask you something?"

This was it he was really going to flirt with her. He was gonna suck it up and finally do it.

Her dark eyes met his the teal hair framing her face, but her bangs were down a little farther than usual causing her right eyebrow and the top half of her eye to be covered.

Before he could even think his hand moved brushing the hair out of her face, before taking a lock of her hair and twrilling it in his long pale finger.

"Is your natural color really chocolate brown? I think you should dye it back."

There was a pause as he took in her facial features.

"Don't get me wrong the teal hair looks good. Really good. But, I imagine you'll look even more beautiful with brown hair."

Her pink cheeks were back as she tried to think of a response. What was she supposed to say to that?

He thinks I'm beautiful?
