AAAAADJEJAHAHHS WHAT.WHAT. YOUR SECRETARY DRABBLE?? IT WAS SO ADORABLE ADJEHAHSH WHY BRUH HOW??

but like what if we got a little thing where we're the Starbucks employee that takes his order every morning, and everyday he buys two drinks, but it's a different kind of coffee every time. And your just like adshehhshwhw it's a pro-hero!!, but he just eventually starts talking to u about the RANDOMEST things in his life. Like,

"I saw a cat on the way to work yesterday. It was fluffy and orange, and it kind of reminded me of Bakugou."

And ur just like "wHos Bakugou???"

Then he asks reader to draw a cat on the cup and it's just at that point ur so done with this man.

(pls ignore my poor editing skills)

Shouto Todoroki comes in every day: rain, hail or shine.

You and the others of the café have mostly grown immune his fame, by now, though the commotion he can cause is a little harder to ignore. Sometimes, if you’re both unlucky, a crowd will gather at the sight of him—blocking the counters off and annoying everyone else in the shop. It’s always the same combination of younger kids, star-struck teenagers—or tourists. Most locals, used to Shouto and his ilk, will see the Pro strolling in for his order and leave him to it, give him the right of normalcy. It helps, you think to yourself wrly, that Shouto Todoroki is infamous for being completely unhinged with both his fan encounters and any kind of traditional media.

“Good morning,” he greets you, formally. “I’d like two large Eye-Scream lattes today, please.”

The Eye-Scream latte—Starcups’ Halloween special. You smile to yourself, ringing the purchase up as your coworker shoots you a jealous look. Shouto Todoroki tips well.

“Any special requests today?” You ask. It’s been about a month since he’s discovered he can ask for cup art, and get it—the lot of you climbing over yourselves to make the Pro Hero smile with your doodles, your careful illustrations. Daisuke, your manager, put all of you to shame the other week with his careful, biro rendering of an old manga panel.

But it’s fun; Shouto looks thoughtful, delighting you. You like that he takes this just as seriously as the rest of you do.

“You’ve been drawing those cats for me,” the Pro hero points out. “Can you draw another?”

Something fizzles within you, glowing, at this. “Yeah,” you say, trying not to be too eager. “yeah, I totally can!!”

Shouto smiles at you, warm and small, and you think—you think you’d march off a bridge if this man told you to.

Your friend makes the lattes, pouting at you when you give her the cups, your drawing done. “This is so unfair,” she complains, “he always talks to you!”

You duck behind the coffee machine and jeer at her. “Eat shit!”

She kicks at you in revenge, and you try not to laugh as Shouto waits, oblivious.

“Who do you think he’s getting the coffees for?” Your friend asks, as she finishes one.

You pretend to wipe down an already clean counter, and shrug. “I always thought it was like, Deku or someone.”

Giggling, your friend whispers, “Dynamight.”

You try to picture Dynamight, Japan’s Fury, drinking one of your lattes—with one of your little cats on it, and can’t.

You’re still trying to picture it when Shouto’s order is ready; you present the tray to him and smile up at the man as he moves to collect them.

“I hope you and your friend enjoy your coffees,” you tell him.

Gray and blue eyes flicker down to the cups; to the Shouto-like cat you’ve drawn, sitting with its eyes closed, dreaming of fish.

“We will,” he says, smiling at you—amused, now, like he knew what you were trying to do. “Thank-you.”

Behind you, one of the others giggles nervously. You decide that next time, when you have the chance, you’ll draw two cats; curled up together, napping like they’re in the sun.
