I walked into work Monday morning in a slightly better mood than previously. I received stares and points from other civilians as I made my way to the office. I quickly walked in, immediately drawing looks from my other coworkers.

As I had a few minutes before I needed to clock in, I went to the bathroom. Examining my appearance, there didn't seem to be anything off. I was in my normal, everyday clothes, nothing on my face, so why were people staring at me like I had two heads.

I went to punch in my time card. The photos that needed editing for today were already loaded onto my computer, so I left no time to talk to Jennifer, especially after Friday; I wasn't going to let her ruin my elevated mood.

Not too long into my work and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I smiled seeing Theo behind me. "Hey, what's up?"

He grabbed my arm, pulling me out of my desk chair and down a small hallway. "Girl, we gotta talk." I was greeted by Haruki and Yumiko in the hallway as well, staring with anticipation. "Spill all the tea, tell us everything."

I looked to the three of them, wondering what the hell was going on. "I'm confused, what tea?"

"Don't play dumb, your concussion was what, a month and a half ago? Your memory should be all healed by now," Haruki accused.

I shook my head dumbfounded. "No seriously, I'm confused. Is there something on my face that I can't see, because I've been getting looks from literally everyone this morning. So what's going on?" I begged for them to tell me, they looked to each other then back to me.

"Wait, so you haven't seen the picture?" Yumi asked.

"No, what picture?" I snapped. "Sorry, I just have no clue what is happening right now."

Theo was quick to pull out his phone, typing something in. "Well the first thing you see when you type 'Hawks' into the search browser..." He trailed off turning his phone in my direction. On his screen was a picture of me wrapped up in Hawks's arms as he landed on the ground.

The color left my face as I recognized the picture, it was from the other day when we came back from using my quirk, right before he was bombarded by people asking for pictures of him. My legs wrapped around his torso tightly as my head rested on his shoulder.

"Someone uploaded this to twitter last night and it blew up. Is something going on between you two? Come on girl, don't lie to us," Theo said, pulling his phone back. I looked to each of them urging me to answer the question.

"How do you know he didn't save me from something?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Look how he was holding you (Y/n), he's never held anyone he's saved like that before."

"Yeah, and if so, then what did he save you from?"

I chose to ignore their questions. "I gotta get back to work." As I began walking off they all stepped in front of me, blocking me from leaving.

"Look, if something is going on between you guys you can tell us," Yumi said.

"Seriously like who the hell are we going to tell, unlike most of the other people who work here, we actually respect your privacy," Haruki mentioned after.

I scratched the back of my head not knowing what to say. "Okay so I kinda know him, but I swear we're not like a thing if that's what you think, just acquaintances."

They nodded, seeming satisfied with my answer.

Theo developed a smirk on his face. "You mean you aren't a thing yet, don't worry though, we promise your secret relationship with him is safe with us."
