Part 7

In the morning I woke up the same as the day before, but this time knowing there was nothing to do. Which means no need to get dressed in nice clothes, just being able to chill around in shorts and a shirt like every day should be enjoyed while I read.

Even though the light shined through the windows, I still close my eyes for a bit, just to have some silent thoughts to myself. The quiet makes me sigh happily before standing up and grabbing the book I dropped as I fell asleep.

First thing first, breakfast! Time for some quick easy cereal and to relax with a little TV as I eat. The news was boring for the most part until it changed to an interview with All Might. I mean everyone likes All Might right?

He was asked the usual questions and always came up with funny answers to steer the conversation the way he wanted. Honestly, he really knew how to take charge in a certain way. I know he started teaching at UA this year, but I haven't seen him around at all. He's probably busy teaching and getting pulled around by different duties.

After the interview ended and my cereal bowl was empty, I washed the dishes. Finally, it was time to plop on the couch and curl up with my new book and a blanket. I did just that.

A couple hours later I was jolted out of the trance that was reading, and there were knocks at the door. They were soft, so I could only assume Shouta showed up randomly. I stood up and opened the door. I was right. "Hey, didn't know you would stop by," I said with a smile as I stepped to the side.

"I was just wondering how your week at UA has gone." He said as he walked in and went to the kitchen to make some coffee that I kept here just for him since it wasn't something I usually drank.

"And by that you mean, you were in the area and wanted some free coffee." I tease as I look at the clock, "It's only about 1 pm." I followed him to the kitchen and leaned against the counter.

He glanced at me as he made it, "I was wondering how your week went. Hizashi didn't bother you too much? When he sees an attractive woman, that's all he can focus on for a bit. If you reject him enough it will get through his head that you aren't interested and he'll back off." Shouta said in his plain voice.

Did he say I was attractive or was he saying that Yamada thinks I'm attractive? Either way it made me blush a bit, "Its fine really...he's not giving me a hard time or anything." I say a bit quiet as I look away, trying not to let him see the tint on my cheeks.

Once his coffee was done he poured it into the cat mug that I bought for him a while back and walked to the couch to enjoy it. Shouta saw the book I was reading and picked it up where my bookmark sat and started reading out of it. "He made his way to her and slammed his hands on either side of her head against the wall, looking down into her eyes as he kept her trapped against the wall. There was a moment of silence as they looked into each other's eyes-"

I cut him off by grabbing the book from him and sat next to him, "Stop reading my things."

"That sounds like a terrible book. Things like that don't happen in real life." He said, looking over at me before taking a sip out of his mug.

I roll my eyes slightly, "That's why it's a book. It's not real life. I enjoy it for the story. Besides, you enjoy the RomCom's we watch all the time."

That made him go quiet for a second, "I watch those because you like them, plus they are easy to pick apart and show how poorly written most of them are."

"Suuuure..." I say with a chuckle and smile at him as he glanced away and grabbed the remote to put something on.

It was always a nice quiet day when Shouta decided to come over. Half the time he would fall asleep while watching television or reading a book that was lying around. It always felt peaceful around him and he always looked so tired, it makes me happy to see him relaxing on the weekends. Even though he would probably get more sleep at his own place.

We watched something on TV but I wasn't paying much attention as I slowly started getting tired from watching the screen and dozed off, leaning against him.

When he noticed me using the side of his arm as a pillow, he felt like he couldn't move to disturb me, so he would be stuck in this position for a bit, eventually falling asleep himself.

About an hour or two later I woke up to the both of us fully laying on the couch with my face against his chest and his hand in my hair like he was petting me as he slept. My face heated up as I looked up toward his sleeping face.

He was so peaceful looking, even though he had a scruffy look, his expression was so soft. I slowly moved up to take a closer look at his face, feeling like I had to hold my breath in fear of disturbing his slumber. Gently, I moved a piece of hair from his face with a smile.

I had never gotten this close of a look at his face, so I never realized how handsome Shouta actually is. He always hides behind baggy black clothes, his unkempt hair, and his scruffy face.

As my eyes almost scanned his face, his eyes opened slowly and made my face go red. I looked away too quickly to see his cheeks turn a shade of pink at the closeness. Quickly I sit up, "Sorry! I woke up and I was lying next to you and I wanted to see if you were awake was all." I kept my back turned to him, not wanting him to see my face.

"That's fine...You just caught me off-guard is all." He said as he stared at the back of my head.

After that incident, we were quiet as he got up and got ready to go, "I'll see you tomorrow morning. Enjoy your book." Shouta said with a small smile before he left.

"See you tomorrow," I say, trying not to think about the situation they woke up in. I keep it out of my mind for the rest of the night and read, make dinner and eat alone before going to bed and trying to read another chapter before falling asleep.
