You were upside down, legs dangling over the top of the couch. Your body was facing the tv, but you weren't watching it. TikTok after TikTok scrolled over your phone screen. It was mundane, and boring by this point. You had traveled to a nearby shop, got some snacks, and even called Akio to chat a bit before his classes.

"I cannot believe you're dating Hawks! Of all people. Do you know his reputation?" The words weren't judgmental, but more worried than anything. "I guess it is the safest option..." Akio let his words trail off, not wanting to offend you.

Your lips were pursed as you considered what Hawks may really be like. Social media and "Stardom" wasn't something on your radar. Your feed was full of silly cats and fun art videos. Not who is dating who in the industry. You simply couldn't find time to care. Now being relatively close with one, you had to take it back a bit. People might start to recognize, or think you know something about the missing people. "We're not dating," you finally forced out. "It's unofficial. We hardly know each other. Plus, why would he even want-"

"Rambling," Akio interrupted. That happened when you got overwhelmed. The young man had come to learn in the short span of working with you that you thought aloud quite often. It was a nervous habit, but almost endearing.

"Right. What I'm saying is, we're taking things slow. I'm not going to be another mark to his tally." But you weren't so sure. Your heart raced thinking about the man, who you so desperately hoped was being safe.

Akio, being quite the empath let out a "hmmm", and definitely didn't believe you. See, his quirk was interesting. The man was almost like Eros, the god of carnal love, with his sense for romance and odd ability. Not only could he detect high senses of desire and passion, whether it be violent, sexual, or romantic, but he could also influence them. Not very powerful, so he never made it into any hero course, but he was going to still try to use it for good in the future. "I don't believe you, but I'll shut up about it for now. Other than that, how have you been?"

The run down was long, and with quite a few gasp from your coworker as he needed detailed explanations. You were sure the news of you surviving would spread fast, and how Eraserhead saved you. And now you were connected to two famous heroes. How fun. You couldn't have been more excited with all of this unwarranted attention.

It fucking sucked. The news was a nightmare, and you were frustrated with your own boredom. You missed Hawks more than all of that, though. A long sigh left as you sat up from your awkward sitting position. The blood rushed from your head down, giving you a rush.

Lil Sparrow
I'm so bored 😑

You shot Hawks a text, not expecting an immediate reply. He was very transparent with his availability. Nights and early mornings were when he contacted you the most, and honestly it was kind of romantic. You let yourself live in this small fantasy for a while, coping with everything.
