Blurred

Chapter 51

Your last day of your internship, your last day in Kyushu and your last day with Kei. You're a little sad because now you can't see him as often as you'd like and he's extremely busy so there won't be too many calls either.

The only thing that brings you a little comfort is that you have him in your life, at the very least, and you're returning home and can finally talk to Katsuki. You missed him, even though it has only been a week.

You didn't see Hina again after that night and you think it's because of you. You didn't tell Kei or Iwasaki anything. If that man was really Touya who is supposedly dead, then Hina will be the one to tell her brother the truth.

"You seem distracted, Nagata." Tokoyami said, giving your shoulder a little squeeze like he's comorting you. "That's not good, need a hug?" Dark Shadow popped out.

It only makes sense; you are in the agency, sitting on the couch, doing nothing. Kei is out with his other sidekicks for patrol and he left you two to finish up some last minute things.

Iwasaki is out to get herself and Kei some coffee for when he returns. So, you are basically left alone.

"Oh, I'm okay," You give him a smile and clench his hand. You got deja vu; this is what he did right before you two entered Kei's agency. "I just have a lot on my mind."

"I see," He mumbles and sits down next to you. "We can listen if you want to talk."

"Aw, that's very sweet," You pout, widening your smile. "But it's okay. I really am fine. Thank you."

"Okay, then," He stands up, pointing behind him with his thumb. "Shall we go?"

You nod and follow him to the exit. Your train departs in a few hours, so you still have some free time. You'll get your luggage ready and then hang out with Tokoyami for a while, until Kei returns.

The thoughts of Hina aren't leaving you alone, though. You don't know how to feel about her. It's wrong to hide Touya from Kei but at the same time she might have a very good reason. Had you not made that mistake, you would've talked to Hina and figured things out so it wouldn't consume you with guilt right now.

You're about to walk towards the balcony when you hear someone knock. You know it's Tokoyami because Kei doesn't know how to use the door; that man always comes from the balcony door like he's scared to pass through the reception.

"Hey, I just finished packing." You say, stepping to the side to let him in but he only nods and steps back.

"I'm heading to see the city, it's quite different from home." That suggestion sounded very nice and you really need something to distract yourself from Hina. "Join us, it will be fun!"

They keep surprising you with how considerate they are, even though you two are not that close. And they know something is bothering you so they want to help somehow.

"Yeah, I'm in," You smile and immediately go back in to grab your room key and phone, and put them in your bag. "Let's go. Oh, and thank you, again."

"No worries."

You walked around, asked him to take some pictures of you and rejected your offer to take a picture together. Though, Dark Shadow was all in for it.

It's cute how Dark Shadow is more than a quirk. It's alive and it has feelings and also helps Tokoyami whenever he needs help with conversations. They have a bond and you love that.

Tokoyami must really love poetry. You have noticed since the day you met him but now that you're spending some time with him, he will throw some poetic lines here and there.
