The lunch fiasco was weeks in the past now, and yet nothing cleared up from it. If anything the situation got worse. The two where in a tango of utter ignorance. With Chase trying to elongate the song that was seconds to being over, only hearing the nickname "babybird" every other eclipse. Our recovery boy tried giving Hawks the benefit of the doubt. Tried making excuses for the red bird that no longer sang to him. Yet you can only slow down the ending of a song for so long and after hearing the excuse "Sorry Chase, I agreed to help Midnight with" for the 60th time he decided he was done.

This departure from red wings that used to seem angelic wasnt as agonizing as it could've been. As he stopped texting Hawks, he started texting Aizawa, a new formed friend.During Aizawas free periods he would creep into the Recovery Boys room and sleep on an empty nursing bed. Which Nurse Day never protested if anything the sounds of sleep mumbles, and murmured snores was quite tranquilizng to Chases thoughts about Hawks. After their verbal contract of platonic companionship the two had grown quite found of one another company even if sometimes all it was was silence.

"Aizawa wait, I have something for you" was the Yield Sign phrase that stopped Aizawa in his tracks from heading to an empty bed like he always did. He began feeling a pit in his stomach as he thought of what this could be. He obviously knew what day it was, but did the Recovery Boy?

"You have something for me?" He decided to go with the caught cheating husband tactic and went with acting like he didnt know what was going on. Maybe then Chase would second guess his knowledge of what today was and not give him what Aizawa assumed was a gift. Yet his rocky plan as assumed failed and he watched as Chase took out a neon blue bag with ribbons that had "Happy Birthday" plastered all around it in bubble letters.

"Happy Birthday Shota!!" Even though the words where preempted from the bag the Recovery boy held, it still made Aizawa blush slightly which he was not all to thrilled about. However this made the healing powered man smile with glee seeing that he was able to make Aizawa react in a way that wasnt stoic face.

"How did you know it was my birthday?" Furrowed/puzzled eyes met with wide eyes as he tried interrogating the recovery boy in front of him with a look. Aizawa's one furrowed brow jumping up, his mouth in a scowl, and his arms straight jacketing around his body caused yet again the bubble of glee to pop and drip into maluses of fear inside Chase's body.

"Oh I um looked up your file" after every syllable of the sentence that left his mouth he realized how invasive his actions where. He tried letting out a small laugh that came across nervous toned, and a small smile but Aizawa just starred. Chase focus shifted away from the man that now stood across his his desk and to the floor as he pushed the present closer to Aizawa, "Im sorry I invaded your privacy, I just wanted to know your birthday."

Maybe it's his suken eyes or his words that always threaten departure, either way a majority time when Aizawa spoke fear or nervousness always possessed the listner. He quite liked it when talking to anyone but Chase. It was cliche and obvious but Aizawa ignored the reasoning why and just knew that whenever he felt he upset the recovery boy that day he could not sleep that following night.

So in order to participate in one of his favorite activities he changed his demeanor and attitude when looking at the situation. Ripping his arms from their straight jacket cross, softening his brows back to normal, and getting rid of his scowl. It was when the healer of the two heard the unveiling of tissue paper was when he looked up to see the man that was once a detective hunting down a murder was now just a curious young man just wanting to know the story.

"Listen I dont like that you looked in my file, however I understand that it was out of innocent intent." Was his response to Chases apology when he felt the younger mans eyes on him. Nurse Day wasn't completelty back to being his full self but he sure was not beng strangled with anxiety as he watched Aizawa slowly open the present.

"Im sorry it's nothing fancy, since moving Ive been a little low on cash." Aizawa was at the last piece of tissue as he stuck his hand into the bag grabbing the what felt like soft gift from within it. Once his hands reached back to his eye level with the surprise that was inside it, he was faced with a black cat that had a scar below the eye and a scarf. Not to bash the artist who made it but it was definetly no comapany that created it. The cats body was not riddled with wit fux fur instead just some furry material and the stitches that held the cat clone of Aizawa where clear to see on the outsides. Also just the fact that it shared the same attire as Aizawa and expression was a dead give away that this was clearly handmade.

Now Aizawa wasn't a man starring at your gucci sneaker and belittling you for how you they cheap fakes on the bus. He didnt care how much the heal willed man that sat accross of him spent on a gift. If anything the smaller the price ment the less of the gesture he had to reciprocate on Chase's birthday. However this gift was personal which changed the game.

Yet that also wasnt something going through his head either. All that went through his head was "he sewed me as a cat". Something that was painfully obvious to everyone but Aizawa was his infatuation with the feline creatures. Whenever one would walk the opposite direction from him down a sidewalk he pinned like he was a soldiers wife waiting for her loved one to come home. So the fact that not only did Chase take that into consideration, he then went out of his way to sew him a cat but not just any cat, him as a cat. He thought about the healer hunched over a small desk pricking his fingers with bobby pins late at night trying to sew the small curves of this creature. Wondering how much energy and how many restless nights it took this man to make this catsonna for him.

Aizawa couldn't handle it anymore as the thoughts flooded his brain of what all this meant, or if it was just the fact that he was nice. "Stand up" his gaze going away from the cat that his palms caressed and now at the nurse sitting in his desk chair. That fearful gaze rising once again that Aizawa had to numb himself from reacting to.Hestiantly Chase stood up which caused of a ripple effect of actions.

Placing the beloved new kitten down on the desk he walked to the other side of it where Chase stood. His neck had to move his head so that his gaze could look into Chase's. The two stayed like this for a minute. There chest rising up in down out of curosity of what one anothers body would do if they had to bare being this close without touch for a second longer. Then the trending theme, Aizawa broke the silence of touch and wrapped his arms around the nurse torso fourcing the recovery boy to wrap his around Aizawa neck as the two held eachother in a tight hug.

"Thank you Chase"
