"What are you still doing here?" Scowling, Katsumi's raw reds narrow down at the blonde boy draped over her sofa, his legs moving up and down as he plays on the console, humming in his own little world as she scowls, glaring at the fluttering feathers of ruby red scattered all over the place.

"Thought I'd come see how you were besides your place is cosy." Chirpily, he smiles up at her as she kicks a few feathers to the side scowling.

"Just because I let you in once doesn't mean you can come in whenever you like." Curtly, she crosses her arms over her chest glaring down at the blonde on her sofa.

"Oh come on you like me here." Teasingly, Hawks drapes his arms over the top of the sofa, his feathers fluttering reaching out to teasingly touch her nose making her nose wrinkle. Her eye twitches glaring down at the smirking blonde below her.

"Ah yes because I love having to clean after your mess." Dryly, Katsumi huffs rolling her eyes exasperated.

"You look nice you going somewhere?" Curious, Hawks wiggles a brow, his gold gleaming as his eyes look her up and down making her scowl. She adjusts the coal straps of the tank top underneath the baggy black sweater she wears, she wears a pair of baggy camo jeans, grey ones with hint of white and other shades of grey wearing black combat boots.

"You think giving me a compliment is going to let you get away with the crap you left at my apartment?" Annoyed, she grumbles, glaring down at him.

"Eh it was worth a try still where you going?" Intrigued, he quirks his head to the side, craning it placing the side of his face into the plush pillow of the sofa top.

"I'm meeting up with a friend." Frowning, she takes her black purse from the counter.

"A friend?" Frowning, Hawks furrows his brow.

"Yes. Friends. I have friends." Firmly, she snaps scowling at him, feeling her eye twitch.

"You do?" Stunned, Hawks chuckles.

"Of course I do dumbass." Seething, she snaps glaring daggers at him.

"Guessing it's that spiky haired guy Natsuo right?" Annoyed, Hawk's hues narrow, his gold glaring to the side, his feathers fluttering up frowning.

"And if it is?" Irritated, Katsumi scowls, Natsuo wasn't her only friend she had friends outside her hero circle sure not many but still she had friends…sort of. She didn't know, she didn't know who would put up with her…

"You sure you should be going on a date with the boss' son?" Hawks questions, brow furrowed frowning.

"And you sure you should be flirting with the boss' daughter?" Icily, Katsumi points out annoyed as she scowls, she remembered the poor girl blushing she only wanted to give lunch to her old man but of course Hawks had to put the moves on her like he did everyone. She couldn't get girls who fell for his sort, they must know how much of a playa Hawks is so why would they think they were anything different? Anything special? She had seen his type time and time again and each time she hated them all the more.

Honestly, she felt bad for the girl no doubt making Hawks lunch for more time with him which he happily gave for more chicken, he was gluttony incarnate and she just felt bad for the girl. The girl had even offered to make her lunch since she began work with her father but she refused, she didn't want to bother the girl. She was nice enough and a teacher at that, she couldn't help but respect the girl to have the patience to deal with children on a daily basis and she's such a sweet soul, it only made her grimace when seeing Hawks play around with her. She was surprised Endeavour hadn't tried to warn the girl or at the least told Hawks to stop. But even then if you tell Hawks not to do something, he'd do it anything honesty he was like a kid sometimes, a kid she would not trust with the big red button.

"Hey dating and flirting are different." Dubiously, he winks mischievously at her.

"It isn't a date. And if it was it has nothing to do with you." Firmly, Katsumi states the fact of the matter even if it was it had nothing to do with him, honestly he really was a kid thinking only he could flirt she could flirt too…if she felt like it, if the extra was worth it.

"He's buying you dinner." Hawks deadpans.

"A guy and a girl can go get food need I remind of you what we did?" Scowling, she reminds him.

"Still think you can kiss him? Wouldn't it be like kissing Endeavor?" Slyly, Hawks points out making her freeze from it flinching from the imagery alone.

"Oh for…Hawks we are not going on a date, so why are you saying this crap?" Angrily, she demands from him fuming.

"Who knows?" Hawks shrugs.

"You're ridiculous." She shakes her head at him.

"No what's ridiculous is why you'd waste your Saturday off going out when you could stay here watch some TV eat some junk food maybe watch season two of…"Hopeful, Hawks calls out purring it out almost as she scowls when seeing him stretch his feathers out smirking slyly up at her, winking mischievously, offering the remote to her.

"Tell you what Hawks you can do that tell me what happens." Lazily, she brushes him off back turned unaware of his childish pout, puffing his cheeks out.

"What? but where's the fun? What about Lord Dumbetone and lady Patricia you can't tell me you weren't invested!" Hawks huffs pointing at her grumbling, glaring, grabbing hold of a nearby pillow nuzzling into it.

"Look Hawks I don't get why you're acting like this." Tiredly, she pinches the bridge of her nose exhaling shakily.

"I just don't get why you'd want to hang out with some young kid in college with no job when you could sit back and relax here?" Whining, he pouts, stretching his arms out, gesturing for her to come over to hug him almost making her seethe…

"…See you Hawks." Tiredly, Katsumi sighs exhaustion etched into her fatigued facial features, furrowing her brow as she approaches the door, placing her hand on the doorknob, twisting, turning it and leaving the apartment, unaware of the furrowed frown of the huffing Hawks, his fluttering feathers flustering, ruffling up, riled. He grumbles, glaring down at the floor below. What are you still doing here? Scowling, Katsumi's raw reds narrow down at the blonde boy draped over her sofa, his legs moving up and down as he plays on the console, humming in his own little world as she scowls, glaring at the fluttering feathers of ruby red scattered all over the place.

"Sorry for calling you out here like this." Timidly, Natsuo confesses as the two sit down by a café, Katsumi sipping her sweet coffee while on the other hand he sips his icy blueberry slushy.

"No it's fine." Katsumi shrugs stating the fact of the matter, she didn't mind clearly, he had something on his mind and wanted to run by it with her. However, her was what befuddled her? Why her? He had entered his father's agency normally you'd think he'd go to his father but…then again he was lingering in the doorway, not really entering the room and not really looking like he wanted to be there in the first place, the two seemed tense if anything so something was clearly up but what? She had no idea…

"You sure?" Natsuo queries brow furrowed looking worried.

"Yeah today was my day off anyway." Katsumi shrugs stating the fact of the matter, sure she could have stayed with Hawks watching some trash TV together, the two had done that and it was fun she will admit it was rare to get her to relax and she'll admit she found it nice not having to watch something alone, sure she would watch with Kane but he'd blurt out question after question which Haneul would then try to answer only ruining it for her especially when they'd argue

"It was? Sorry you probably wanted a lazy day." Natsuo sighs slumping his shoulders making Katsumi furrow her brow. Sure, it was nice with the two just watching silently, sure Hawks would ask a question now and again or his foot would go up and down he had to move now and again btu she was fine with that, it'd always end with him clinging to her somehow, to have some sort of physical contact which she didn't mind, internally anyway as if she'd give that smug ass the satisfaction of knowing that.

"Well yeah everyone does but this is fine." Calmly, she assures him, she had a life outside Hawks just as he had one outside hers.

"You sure? I just thought it would work now as selfish as it sounds, I couldn't focus on studying." Natsuo confesses to her.

"I get it." Katsumi nods her head when she would study she needed time to get out to think to breath, to take a break before returning to studying, they all had limits.

"You do?" Natsuo arches a brow.

"When I was in U.A I had to study a lot, didn't help that if I didn't study it nags at me its in my head like a woodpecker just continuously pecking in my head." Smirking, Katsumi places her forefinger upon her temple tapping against it rapidly.

"You get it too? Glad to see I'm not the only weirdo." Softly, Natsuo smiles.

"I don't think you're weird you seem sane to me." Katsumi offers unsure.

"Heh thanks that's the nicest thing I've think someone's ever told me. Still to think the Bombarda saved me wow." Natsuo chuckles under his breath bemused.

"I didn't really save you I just dragged you into the shade." Simply, Katsumi states the fact of the matter.

"You still helped me even when you were busy." Shyly, Natsuo smiles staring down at his slushie, pinching the bridge of his straw, stabbing it into the ice below.

"Eh, it was nothing." Lazily, Katsumi shrugs glancing to the side.

"I got to ask…" Natsuo sighs slumping his shoulders.

"Hm?" Katsumi hums arching a brow at him.

"What's someone like you doing working with scum like him?" Natsuo's black narrow, his tone tense.

"Endeavour I assume…" Sighing, Katsumi closes her eyes. She didn't know enough to make a solid basis on her boss but he got the job done just as she did, he didn't question her so she wouldn't question it.

"Yeah…" Natsuo bows his head venom oozing out of his tight tone, glaring down at his fidgeting fuming fists, feeling his boil, bubble burn as Katsumi simply arches a brow bored unfazed by his fierce feral nature.

"Ever since becoming the fourth best hero they decided I needed to understand the press and adjust to all eyes on me so my sidekicks thought it best I'd make an alliance with Endeavour and Hawks, they agreed to it surprisingly. Look I don't know what you beef with Endeavour is but I'm doing what I can for my job understand?" Coldly, Katsumi states the fact of the matter making Natsuo scowl.

"So you're okay with working with people like him?" Poisonously, he seethes.

"I'm okay with saving lives, I don't approve of what he may have done if you're anything to go by." Katsumi argues, she knew how messed up her society was, her parents had taught her it not to mention she had seen it time and time again, experienced it. She had been offered a few quirk marriages, but she'd refuse time and time again finding them to be wrong.

"So you have an idea…" Natsuo whispers, his beady black softening sadly.

"I have ideas, but these labels are only based on when I judged him when I met him…." She states the fact fairly.

"…Fuyumi…she talks about wanting to forgive dad, but I'll never forgive him." Seething, Natsuo states intensely breaking his straw fury flowing out of him.

"Okay." She shrugs bored.

"Huh?" He blinks.

"That's up to you, no one should invalidate what he did to you. It's your life your choice, you're feelings matter it doesn't matter what people say what matters at the end of day is how you feel. Well that's what I think I shouldn't really say this since I have no real clue what your situation is with your father but seems to me you wanted someone to tell you your feelings are validated so…there." Truthfully, she reasons to the boy.

"You…you're really good at reading people." Natsuo notes.

"Grew up seeing many people talking in circles with their eyes not matching their face." Frowning, Katsumi sighs sadly.

"That…" Natsuo begins but…

"Look college seems stressful I know studying at U.A could be a real headache at times so if you just want to talk I'll listen. Doesn't mean I won't sprout crap right away with work but…" Katsumi says to him.

"No I mean…thanks Bombarda I mean it." Shyly, Natsuo smiles, a faint ruby red tint to his cheeks which he scratches with his forefinger laughing uneasily glancing to the side. She scowls, a part of her pondering about a certain comment from before. She falters from the brief image of Endeavour blushing making her grimace, glaring to the side, disgust draped over her facial features as the two say farewell to one another, leaving and heading their own separate ways.

*So what did you think of that chapter? Would love to know! Also someone asked me what would Katsumi be like in the fantasy au would love to know your thoughts/ideas!*
