Hypocrite

The card.

Another mediocre performance...at this rate my boss will confront me.

I sigh as I duck behind the large red satin curtains at the back of the stage and walk to my changing room. The applause is as loud as ever...do they even care if I dance good or not? As long as I take off my clothes and turn them on, I still get my paycheck.

I open the large metal locker in my closet holding my 'normal' clothes and change into them, tossing the old gold shimmering booty shorts into my bag to wash.

I'm about to grab my stuff and leave but something on my old cracked desk catches my eye.

The old wilted flowers that Noah gave me last week are now replaced with new vibrant flowers from him.
Old brown roses now replaced by tall orchids...my favorite flower.

I stalk towards the purple flowers and bend down to sniff them. The sweet floral scent fills my nose and instantly leaves me comforted. All my tension leaves me.

Next to the flowers is a card addressed to me.
I furrow my eye brows and reach to grab the thick card-stock rectangle.

'To midoriya,

I'm sorry that you're hurting...I'm sorry that I'm not strong enough to be the wall that you need to lean on...but I will soon be that person. The one you can trust...the one that you will fall deeply in love with, just you wait. I will be yours."

I turn the card over to see a wonderfully drawn picture of two hands. Their fingers deeply intertwined with one another and each intricate detail accentuated by tasteful shading and lines.

Wow...Noah is such a good artist.

I put the card in my pocket and leave the room with one last sniff from the vibrant orchids.

I lock my closet/changing room and head towards kacchan who is currently sitting at the bar messing with a napkin and spinning his bar stool in circles.

"Hey kacchan...you ready to go home?"
He turns and looks at me. It's unmistakable, the adoration in his deep orbs. He's confused, held back by some inner struggle...but he's undeniably fallen for me.

"Yea...lets go." He gets up and rests his arm over my shoulders and leans closer to me.
I find myself loving the feeling of having him around me, the weight of his arm on my shoulders gives me a sense of comfort even through this stressful day, and I'm excited to go home and lay next to this man, but I suddenly remember something....

" ok...But first I have to talk to somebody." I turn and let kacchans arm fall from me. He stays there, watching me from his place at the door.

Once I'm out of his sight I make a beeline for the sitting area and I see him.

Noah, siting down drinking a beer at a table in the far corner. His stormy blue orbs meet mine and he seems surprised...a smile takes hold of his face and he stands from his seat.

"Midoryia...why ar-" I cut him off and his smile falls to a deep set frown.

"I came to thank you for the flowers..." I'm about to turn on my heels and leave him but his voice stops me in my tracks.

"I didn't give you any flowers..."

I turn and look at him curiously. "You didn't give me the card either?"
His head tweaks to the side and he answers me with a no.

Ohhhh...kacchan! He must've gotten me the flowers...
I suddenly feel very dumb as I turn around and speed towards where I left kacchan.

I hear Noah try to call out my name but I'm already gone.

When I get there he's staring out the window at the slight drizzle outside. When he turns and looks at me his face cracks into a slight smile as he holds out his hand for me.
"Ready to go home?"

My chest squeezes my heart and I give him my biggest smile as I take his hand and he starts to walk outside.

"I didn't know you could draw..." I look up at kacchan and his cheeks turn deep red as he ducks his head into his collar.

I only smile as I lean my head on his arm and move my hand so it mimics the drawing of the two hands on the card kacchan gave me.

I couldn't be anymore happier right now and I know that this man is my everything. I will never love anyone more than I love him.
