I slowly opened my eyes a little uncomfortable as I felt something heavy on my chest. I looked down to see keigo sleeping on his stomach face in my chest. He looked in total bliss as I hastily and forcefully shoved him off. "Huh wha-" thud. He fell on his back as he put up his head "what was that for I was comfortable" he exclaimed stretching as his red feathered wings twitched and stretched out.
"Yea I bet you were" I glared as he smiled cluelessly. I rolled my eyes and stood up walking to the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast?" I asked looking through his fridge.
"I don't know anything sounds good" he said as he walked in behind me and put his chin on my shoulder looking in the fridge with me. My face once a again turning bright red being able to feel his breath hit my ear and smell the left over wine and expensive cologne on him.
"I'll make breakfast chicken sandwiches then" I said grabbing ingredients quickly and moving to the stove. He pouted and walked over to sit on the counter. He watched me carefully as I cooked.
Keigo POV:
'She's interesting, there's something about her that makes me really clingy. She's hiding something, or I feel like she's suppressing it. No doubt I was happy to hear that she didn't have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend. She is very pretty, I want to give her a job to be my sidekick. If she even would want to be. I don't know what's wrong I just can't help but be close to her. The second she stepped into the city off the train my feathers tingled and shot out to find her. One did, I couldn't even stop it, it's so weird. I need to know more about her, I can't explain it I just need too. Maybe if I talk to Mirko she can help me out'
As I was thinking Akai was calling out my name and holding a plate infront of me. "God damn it Keigo wake up and take it" she said frowning. I looked down and saw a well prepared sand which with "home made potato wedges?" I asked as she blushed. 'Damn I love seeing her do that' she nodded as I took the plate and ate a bite. My eyes widened.
"Ah! I'm sorry if it's bad usually people like that if you don't I can make another one I" I started shouting "THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING THING IVE EVER HAD CAN YOU MAKE ME TWO MORE?!" She stopped in her tracks and smiled, it made my heart jump.
She quickly turned back to cooking, noticing her body language it made her really happy. 'I can get used to keeping her around'.
————————-
About an hour later Akai was doing homework in her room, and I decided to call Mirko.
Hello?
Hey Mirko it's keigo.
Oh what's up, make it quick im patrolling.
I have this weird feeling in my chest that spreads to butterflies down my stomach.
Well what's it about, like when does that usually happen. You're too young to have a heart attack.
I got a new intern, from UA-
Woah hold on, she's a student?! Keigo!
No let me talk! She graduates after this month long internship she's 18 but you know Riakai Akiriatsuka?
Oh yea she got 3rd place every year, she worked for me last year,
OH MY GOD YOU LIKE HER!?
I DON'T KNOW I WAS CALLING YOU TO FIND OUT MIRKO HELP!?
well it's obvious your body is telling you, you like her. Honestly I wouldn't expect her to be your type, she's nothing like how she is in the sports festival. She looked really bad ass but when she's not fighting her anxiety and insicurities over power her. Also her quirk causes major anger issues when she uses them.
I'm aware, but do you think it's okay for me to like someone like her?
She's only 3 years younger, my boyfriend is 9 years older than me.
I guess, so what do I do?
Try and read how she reacts to you, after spending an ample amount of time together shoot your shot. Just don't let the media find out until she graduates. Eraserhead will murder you.
Shit I forgot about him, that's right. I'm sure it will work out, I just can't stand to be away from her I've never been so clingy in my life, I almost opened up on the first night and let my guard down.
Oh yea she's the most comforting and trustworthy person you will ever meet. Brutally honest sometimes, but she's amazing. She'll be a fine hero, and maybe your animal instincts are kicking in like how mine did with my boyfriends when I met him. Since we both have animal quirks it triggers primitive bonds or something. And since her quirk is animals also you're probably registering her as the perfect mate for you, all you gotta do is impress her.
Damn I didn't think of that, thanks bitch bunny, I'll try and do that. See you around the holidays.
Bye bitch bird see you later.

I hung up after that and sat leaning over the balcony. I decided to go check on Akai, I missed her.
"Akai wanna go watch a movie?" I said looking around but couldn't find her. I panicked and looked around her room, in the bathroom closet, and I noticed the window was open. "FUCK NOT EVEN A FULL 24 HOURS AND SHIT IS HAPPENING" I jumped out the window, seething in anger looking around the city trying to catch where she could have gone.
"Uhm Keigo?" I turned around to see Akai staring out the window I frantically jumped out of.
"Akai there you are I was so worried!" I said jumping back in and hugging her tight.
"Oh yea I just went down stairs, I saw you had a private gym so I used it" she said hugging back lightly. I let go looking down at her. "Sorry I kinda smell I'm really sweaty I'm gonna take a shower" she said as she pulled some clothes out of the closet, and walked to her bathroom. "Keigo? Is something wrong?" She said looking at me from the bathroom. Apparently I was staring.
"Oh no uhm, I actually wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping later?" I said as she looked at me 'fuck'.
"Oh, sure" she smiled and my heart exploded. I smiled and walked off.
"God damn it I think I love her" I whispered plopping on the couch.
