Flying Free *Hawks x Reader*

Chapter 22

Keigo had only been home from the hospital for a few days now, and well, my experience with him was draining to say the least.

I cared about him more than he could ever know and I did my best to show that in any way I could, whether it be changing his bandages, cooking, cleaning. He didn't like the fact that I had to do everything, he was still set on doing it all on his own.

When he wasn't sleeping he would be in his room, either doing his at home exercises or watching nature documentaries on the tv. The only time he left was to go to physical therapy or when I brought him downstairs to eat something.

He was clearly depressed and because of that he began to push me away. I tried not to let him, I just had to push back harder. Only when this happened, he would drown out any of my actions like he had drifted off into his own world.

He always used to talk about his dream, how much he wanted a world where heroes had more free time, but I'm sure this isn't what he meant. Being stuck to bed rest, therapy. Most importantly I didn't even know what was going on with his quirk, if it was gone forever, I knew that wasn't apart of his plan.

The only time he ever talked to me was short, dry answers to questions, or if he needed me to change the gauze on his wings or other parts of his body. Though, he would cuddle his body close to mine at night, I imagined he still enjoyed my presence even if he didn't want to admit it.

I waved goodbye as the car taking him to physical therapy drove off, he flashed his hand at me then continued to stare out the window.

I went to sit on his couch, currently overthinking everything. It was a lot to deal with, harder than I thought. Right now all I felt was frustration and confusion, but I had to keep reminding myself that this isn't who he is. It was a minor step back and all that was needed was patience.

I opened my laptop to add more photos to my blog, as well as transfer any money I received from my pictures into my bank account, and then proceeded to open my emails.

I opened one from Ms. Ross from the magazine company. Due to the recent events, the magazine release was being delayed. She also informed me that her friends was pregnant and recommended me to do her maternity photoshoot.

I haven't done anything outside of hero shoots or my regular freelance work since I met Keigo, so I figured it would be nice to do something I haven't in a while.

I exchanged a few emails with the lady, who's name I learned to be Katsumi Juro. She let me know that she fell in love with my Instagram, making me smile bashfully at the compliment. As neither of us were doing much of anything today, we decided to meet and discuss the photoshoot around two PM.

I made my way upstairs to put on any old jeans and a shirt. I made sure to text Keigo where I would be for today, as he would probably arrive back home before I did.
Please text me if you need anything <3

I went back downstairs to put on my shoes and pack up my backpack, then headed on my way to the train station.

Even though the world was still in shambles, people couldn't stop living.

She lived in the same city as UA high school, and we agreed to meet at a cat cafe, something she was extremely fond of; and I've never been to one before so I was actually excited.

Upon my arrival I stared in awe at the enormous cat tree taking up the center of the room, there had to be at least twenty cats from what I could see. I saw a tanned skin woman, who I assumed was Katsumi, waving me over to a sofa.

"(Y/n) (L/n) right? I'm Katsumi Juro again, it's so nice to meet you. You're Instagram is absolutely lovely, I often find myself scrolling through it for hours," she gushed. "Oh thanks for letting me know what you wanted to drink, I have it right here; everything is on me today.
