❛  Where have you been? And what kind of trouble did you get into?  ❜

        It makes him laugh sheepishly, a hand coming up to rub the back of his neck. Well, he sort of expected that kind of reaction: worried but still a little stern. How Serizawa has grown in such a short time, it feels like Claw was only just yesterday. Shimazaki himself did some thinking himself, drifted around, remained in contact with Hatori and Minegishi in the meantime as he tried to decide what he wanted to do now. Very little he found entertained him enough. So he had tracked Serizawa down ( or, more like he had asked his fellow former Super Five where he was ), and now he stands before him. He knew he’d have to face him eventually, what with his new position at the office.

       “I’ve been... around,” he replies, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. It’s not like him to be so nervous, but everything still feels so new, and whatever he had with Serizawa once upon a time seems to be rushing back quickly. They never put a name on it, didn’t ever openly acknowledge it, but it was still there. “No more trouble, I promise.”

       Shimazaki smiles weakly. “Yeah, maybe that’s hard to believe. I’ve just been-- thinking a lot. And it’s, uh...” He turns his face down. “Nice to meet you again.”

‘ wow. you have excellent control over your power, miss! ‘

“I’ve had them since I was a kid, so having control over them by this point is only natural.  That’s an interesting observation to make- the control rather than the power itself.  You’re an esper too, then?”

‘ shimazaki-kun, i just want you to know that i enjoy your company. ‘ >:3c

        It’s so genuine, just like everything else Serizawa ever says. There is no reason for Serizawa to lie to him, to tell him these thing just to make him feel better for… whatever reason. ( Can Serizawa see what plagues him within? Is he more perceptive than Shimazaki gave him credit for? ) His voice is so gentle, tender in a way that aches, that makes Shimazaki’s brain scramble to come up with something, anything that will suffice as a real response. But he can’t.

       All he can do is reach out, grab the front of Serizawa’s sweater, and tug him forward. They’re alone, which is already dangerous because Shimazaki just— Shimazaki still can’t figure out his feelings towards the other man, or how to even control them. It’s been long, so long since he’s felt anything like this, allowed himself to feel anything like this.

       He stops when he feels Serizawa close enough that his breath ghosts over Shimazaki’s lips. Right now, he could close that distance so easily, but what will come out of it? There are so many possibilities, all of them equally as terrifying. Serizawa’s aura is heavy, it cloud his senses, he almost follows through with what he wants to do because he can’t think properly.

       Instead, their foreheads touch, and he breathes out, “Careful with what you say. No telling what I might do.”
