There's been millions of Hallmark movies that have depicted this moment, trillions of romance novels that have written it. Yet if you asked either party what this moment felt like, they wouldnt be able to give you a poetic descriptions but instead say the most redundant sentence of it"felt something they never felt before".

Chase stood there, frozen, as another's arms entangled around his torso pulling him closer to that person. His cheek and Aizawa's long hair sat beside one another while the other cheek behind that hair wished to be touched. Both having every feeling the other person felt transmitted through the collision of random bare skin touching.

The bell rung departing students from their classes to lunch, and departing the healer and eraser from their embrace. Even though both parties arms where beside each others separate bodies, the distance never broke. Both standing inches apart wondering what this all meant but out of fear of an answer no one asked. So they just starred.

"Do you want to eat lunch outside for your birthday" The flustered Recovery Boy was the one to break the silence this time. Finally causing Aizawa to be aware of how close he stood near Chase. 

"If you'd like" his voice still monotone as he took a few steps back so that Chase's breath could freely walk the air without being blocked by Aizawa's chest standing three inches away from the recovery boys mouth. 

Once Chase grabbed his lunch, Aizawa shortly lead them to his classroom so he could grab his before they headed outside. It was until they where a few feet away from Aizawas door that Chase remembered who Aizawa's room neighbor was. A wave of heat went through his face to his stomach as his brain reprogrammed the memory of the red winged teacher. He waited outside Aizawas room for him to grab his lunch and starred at the door that could have incased Hawks.

He knew that it was a stupid thought given the time it's been, or the fact that he had Aizawa now to talk to, he still wanted to text out of the blue once in awhile. Hoping that he would text him a Hey and get a paraphrased biography of what has happened in Hawks life since last time they spoke. But he was smarter then that and knew the text would just lead into a forced elongated dry conversation that would only upset Chase more.

Aizawa was not ignorant to the fact that Hawks's room was next to his so he made his scavenger for his lunch quick. Making sure he didnt give the bird boy any time to fly by. Putting his new cat stuffed animal on his desk he grabbed his lunch and met back up with Chase in the hallway, seeing how the recovery boys eyes where glued to Hawks door.

After an almost escalated debate on where to sit the two had decided on the roof. They didnt want to bother any students who chose the outdoor courtyards over the indoor cafeteria, and leaving the premises was not an option for the two.

Arriving to the roof they where greeted with the blessing of isolation and a view of the entire courtyard. Both sitting at the edge, they enjoyed the company of one another's being rather than one another's words. Sitting in silence looking at the kids.

Chase unwrapped his veggie sandwich when his eyes settled on a duo. Both students, standing under a tree away from the group of kids who chose to sit outside. They stared into one another's widening eyes as their cheeks where painted pink by the blood inside. Smiling at one another as a communication of "I like you". It took a few seconds for one of them to gain the confidence to rest their hand on the others cheeks. Fingers going back and forth on the side of the others face in a soothing manner. Before the two leaned in to interlock in intimacy.

"Have you ever been in love?" Chases question was simplistically delivered but catastrophically received as it took Aizawa by surprise. He looked at Chase with a curious glance, expecting to see wide eyes looking at him but when he was met with a side profile he realized the question was less about him and more about something else.

"Who's to know, why?" A sigh left Aizawa's lips as he traced Chases gaze down to its target, seeing the duo interlocking lips. When chase heard the "answer" he got out of his trance and turned his focus on the eraser beside him.

"What do you mean" Now chases gaze where no longer on the couple and finally on the man that sat beside him. The two looked into one anothers eyes in a manner that felt like they were testing their pyschic ability. Trying to see if they could get a clue of what every aspect of love that person felt.

"I mean that Ive dated of course, but Im not all to sure about that being in love part", that was the final answer and Chase wasn't going to pry a storytime. So Aizawa decided to turn the question to Chase now, and ask him as well if he's ever been in love.

"No"  the speed the sentence ended shocked Aizawa as Chase broke the gaze. "You have to date someone first" and as Aizawa thought about those words the two spent the rest of their lunch in comforting silence staring at the kids that ran around below them.

Hey, I'm so sorry for how late this is.
