The bell over the door let out a gentle chime, stating that someone had just walked in.
Y/n looked up from the register, her black mask covering her smile. She watched the blonde boy walk in, his usual goofy expression plastered on his face as he walked up to her.

"Good morning L/n-san" he spoke, waving at the girl.
She quickly deflected his attention away from her as she pointed to the hand sanitizer on the side of the register.

"Good morning Kaminari, remember to disinfect your hands before you go around petting the cats" she said with a cheery tone. The boy immediately complied, making sure to clean his hands properly, knowing Y/n would probably scold him if he hadn't.

"Table for one?" Y/n asked, just as a tabby cat made its way on to the counter and started pawing at her arm. She smiled petting him, making sure her attention was equally divided between the cat and her friend.

"No no, I'm hanging out with a few others. A table for five would be nice, they should be here any minute" Kaminari said, looking around the café. It was quite early in the morning so there weren't that many people there and most of the cats were still asleep, lying lazily on the chairs, shelves and beds.
It was pleasantly warm inside the café, a nice contrast with the chilly morning air from outside.

"Alright, come with me" Y/n gently lifted the cat, putting it back down on the ground before walking past it and guiding Kaminari to a large rectangular table of a soft beige colour, six lilac chairs sitting around it. He sat down and eyed Y/n as she made her way back to the register, waiting in case anyone else was planning on showing up.
Kaminari sighed as he watched an orange cat sniff his pant leg and run away.

"Every time" he muttered in defeat, slouching his shoulders forward.

"I think it's the static that puts them off" Midoriya grinned, appearing in front of him.

Kaminari looked up at the three boys standing in front of him, happy that he didn't have to wait for long. Kirishima sat opposite him, Midoriya next to the redhead and Bakugo at the end of the table, so he was in between Kirishima and Kaminari.

"Did you come together?" Kaminari asked, sitting up straight and resting his arms in the table.

"Bakugo and I did, we met Midoriya on the way" Kirishima said, pointing over at the boy with the green hair.

The four of them easily fell in to conversation, mostly concerned about the coming up exams. They were currently in their last year at UA, having gone through two years of agonizing practice and fighting. But now they were on their way to ending their UA course.

"Katsuki!" Y/n beamed, suddenly noticing the ash blonde and immediately recognising him, even though his back was facing her. Bakugo whipped his head around, his red eyes narrowing at the girl calling his first name. She rushed to his side, slinging her arms around his neck from behind and resting her chin on the top of his head.
