The First snowflakes of the year started to fall from the Fukuoka sky. Well, they're not exactly snowflakes yet, the weather is still hot enough to make them into rain drops once they hit the ground. However, these snowflakes mark the beginning of a harsh and cold winter that comes ahead. Makes your walk to your apartment building colder, wrapping your arms around yourself to bring some warmth. Thinking to yourself about how the weather Is fitting to your life right now. Feelings of coldness, numbness and emptiness crept into your being after your talk with Keigo.

Your conversation with the number two hero lasted roughly 30 minutes or even less. There wasn't anything else to say after you poured your heart out and he gave you nothing in return.

Tears threatened to fall down your cheeks but you held your ground. You left his office with your head high and your hands trembling by your sides. Instead of facing you, he stared at the skyline from his big office windows, The sky turning into a yellowish/golden hue, closely matching the golden irises of his eyes.

You knew it was going to be a challenge dating Keigo, especially in secret. Hawks didn't want to expose you to the hero commission, telling you it could make you a potential target to villains and he couldn't have that, you're just an ordinary civilian—an ordinary civilian who captured the admiration of the winged hero.

Even knowing his real identity was an obstacle to overcome but he eventually opened up once he knew he was safe with you.

You had been going out for a year now, however, it didn't feel like you were dating Keigo, the real him. Due to his busy hero schedule, you could only meet up during odd hours and at secluded places, he would pick. While you didn't mind, you couldn't enjoy your time alone. Keigo would wear a cool, careless smile on his face throughout your conversations but you knew it was fake, you could read him like a book. His eyes scouted the place the entire time, paranoid that someone would see you two. Keeping a facade to the staff of the restaurants you dine at.

After all, he still has a reputation to keep up, an image. The image of being the suave young single hero, the poster boy of the hero commission. What would the public and the media say if they knew their favourite bachelor was taken.

In another universe, in one where he wasn't picked up by the commission as a young boy and became a hero for them to use. You and Keigo would both be civilians. There would not be any reputation to keep up, any secrets to conceal. He would be all yours, you would know the real him. You're jealous of that universe's you. They had all that while you only had small glimpses of it.

Tears started falling down your cheeks as the snowfall transformed into rainfall, raindrops mixing with your tears making them ricochet around your face. You want to believe that what you had with Hawks was real because even with all of your issues, he became your home. Your apartment is just a shelter for your physical body, but your heart cannot go back to its home.

You will never know it but you became a home for Hawks as well. You were the only normal thing about his life and he ruined it, on purpose. He wanted to fight for your relationship that day you came to his office after hours. But he knew it was for the best to let you go, he knew that as a high-profile hero, he couldn't have relationships like normal people do.

When he does his patrols either day or night, he would fly around places you could be at, just in hopes to see your face again. On some days, you could see Keigo fly around, and the people around you make a fuss about it. All of them getting excited to see their favourite hero protecting them. While you just get a reminder that you could never go back home.

It's your first time going to the gym after a couple years, since high school. The active side of you died after you started university, essays and exams killing your free time and motivation. After a few friends started going, you got a boost of motivation to go again. Plus you got to hang with them between workouts. It was at the end of your first week, when you saw a familiar face in the weights area. It was Kotaro Bokuto from Fukurōdani academy.

He looked different than he did back in high school. He got beefier, broader shoulders and a bigger chest, his pecs are more prominent now. However, you can tell he's still the same Bokuto from high school, with his bubbly and eager personality. You were glad that you were a bit sweaty, the sweat made your cheeks flushed and shiny, camouflaging the blush. You always had a small crush on Bokuto, his confidence and how he expressed himself is what reeled you in. People always called him immature and childish with his tantrums during matches. Maybe he was but you didn't mind because you knew he cared a lot and was passionate about the sport he loved.

You haven't seen Bokuto since graduation, you doubt he remembers you, you were quiet and blended into the crowd back in high school. As you were taking your sight off him, his eyes glazed over the treadmills, at your direction. When his golden eyes saw yours, they widened as did his mouth, showing a huge grin. He let go of the handles of his row machine and waved at you. You waved back, a part of you happy that he remembered you and another embarrassed that he saw you in your sweaty state.

When Bokuto was done with his reps, he made his way to you. You paused your workout on the treadmill and got off.

"Heyy (L/N), how are you? It's been awhile, you look good." He said while looking at you, scanning you from head to toe.

"Hey Bokuto, thanks" you began to fiddle with your fingers.

"yeah it's been awhile, since graduation. I'm good, how about you?" You meet his gaze.

"Ah me, nothing really. Just training to get into a good team in the league, I have tryouts for a couple of teams coming up." He said this while scratching the back of his head, sounded like he really didn't want to talk about himself right now

"Nothing really, Bo that is something. Good for you! I'm sure you're going to get into one of those teams, they'll be lucky to have you!"

Bokuto gives you a soft smile, you can see a hint of a blush on his face.

"You really mean that?" You nodded quickly

"of course I do!!"

"Thank you, I appreciate it. Anyways enough about me, let's talk about you! How's life treating you?"

You put your hands on your hips while looking at the floor, gathering your thoughts. "It's been okay, nothing much really, just focusing on school. Coming to the gym is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a bit. It's actually my first week here"

"Really? That's so cool that you came here, I have been coming to this gym for forever. I'm happy to see a familiar face again, especially yours." You were surprised at his words

"How are you liking it so far?"

"I like it! I'm still afraid of the weight machines though, I don't want to pull something"

"In that case, how about I show you around and show you how the machines work?" He said excitedly

"Are you sure? I don't want to take away from your routine."

"It's no problem, it's always good to have a gym buddy, we can train together even!" His eyes getting bigger by the second of how psyche he was about the idea

"Sounds like a good idea but I'm still just a beginner" You look at him sheepishly

"Hey! Everyone starts out as a beginner, you have nothing to worry about" He went to grab your shoulders and gives them a gently squeeze

"Okay, okay you convinced me haha"

"Great! So it's a date, see you later, gym buddy" and with that Bokuto left to go back to the weights area

A date huh?

Over the next few days and weeks, you and Bokuto made a habit of meeting each other at the entrance and walking in together. Making small talk on the way over to the lockers and changing rooms. After the warm up, he would show you how to use a new machine or how better your form at a machine you had experience in. This led to some "intimate" moments between him and you. Either his arms were around yours or around your waist. You would make eye contact with each other for a few seconds and quickly look away, a blush usually making its appearance on both of your faces. It's something out of a cheesy rom-com movie.

One day after training was over, you walked out side-by-side. Your Hands are almost touching. Bokuto was tired of not expressing his true feelings towards you. Bokuto forces you to stop by grabbing your arms and making you look at him.

Those moments fuelled the feelings you had for him. Not knowing that it also fuelled the feelings he had for you. He hoped that by calling this little routine you two had a date, it would make it clear that he liked you.

"(Y/n)... I really like you, would you like to go on a real date with me? He said without catching a breath

Your eyes blinked rapidly multiple times, having a hard time to process his words. Did Kotaro Bokuto just ask you out?? You quickly answered, in hopes that this wasn't a dream or an alternative universe you fell into.

"I like you too Bo... a lot! I would love to go on a date with you" you shot him a grin, mirroring the same grin he gave you back during your first week at the gym.

"I'm so glad! I can finally say how cute you look when lifting weights" He said while giving you a bear hug, moving you side to side

You pulled away afterwards

"I look cute when lifting weights?" You raised an eyebrow

"Bo honey, I look sweaty when I lift weights."

He replies with a "yeahh and what's your point?"
