'DING!'

the bell over the coffee shop door dinged as the door opened and closed. Coffee machines were buzzing and soft chatter filled the air at 'cafe de verre'.

the cafe was known around the area for all of its dishes to only be glass, along with most of the building.

light streamed through one of the huge windows as the baristas on the job had their daily conversation.

"so shinso", shikichi yui starts as she prepares a customers latte, "how's it been mentoring with aizawa lately! shoto and i have been so overworked with his dad's agency lately." yui jokes with him and nudges him while carrying the latte over to the counter to call the customer for their drink.

yui shikichi is a 5'5 twenty year old woman with snow white hair, crystal blue eyes, and dark brown skin. she has a bubbly but comforting aura that all her friends love.

shinso smiles a bit, "yeah that was this weekend. eraser head was with me that day so it was easy. he's a good mentor."

she made her way back over and leant against the counter with a teasing smile.

"awww look at you. graduated u.a three years ago and you're still pumped to be working with your favorite hero."

shinso scowled and quickly walked away with a cloth to start cleaning the tables. "shut up, shi."

yui giggled softly as she was left behind the counter alone and started cleaning around the machines.

the door opened again with a ding just as she was turning back around to the register as the customer walked in.

"hi welcome to café de verre what would you- holy shit..." yui trailed off at the end as she looked up and saw the customer.

a man with a black fitted baseball cap walked through the door. yui was automatically star-struck.

she didn't have much experience with love so she tended to gush over hot people a lot.

the mysterious man had a very muscular build and was a decent height reaching about 5'10. he glanced up while tilting his head up and fixing his cap, causing the ash blond hair on the top of his undercut to fall out a bit.

when he and yui locked eyes, she was met with blazing crimson eyes and a scowling face.

the next thing she knew, fingers were in front of her face. snapping and waving their calloused hand trying to gain her attention.

"hello? fucking people these days. how are you spacing out at the job right now." the man with the cap grumbled, checking the time on his phone again.

yui, alert once again, went to apologize but was cut off as he started ordering what he wanted.

"give me a black medium coffee to go and a sesame seed bagel." he said, a scowl ever present on his face.

getting over her initial shock and trying to calm down some, yui nodded diligently and walked over to get a medium cup and marker to write his name. "name for the coffee please, sir?"

"bakugo katsuki."

yui nodded whilst internally freaking out, 'god even his name is gorgeous. how can people be this fine? It's not fair!'

bakugo was leant against the counter as he waited for his quick order to be done. yui was just about done writing his name when shinso came back behind the counter with her.

"hey there you are can you fill this cup with the regular black coffee while i get his bagel? thanks." she said walking away to get a paper bag.

"right. this is for bakugo katsuki... bakugo katsuki?" shinso turned around with the cup now filled with black coffee looking perplexed.

"bakugo?" shinso said to the man leant up the counter. he looked up and some sort of recognition crossed his face.

"oh it's you. aizawa's trainee now, right? shinso." he said in a monotone but deep voice.

"yeah, that's me. have you been alright? i haven't seen you since graduation." shinso questioned lazily.

"yeah im fine." bakugo said as yui came back over with the bagel in a bag and his receipt.

"yui", shinso said turning to her as she handed bakugo his things, "this is someone i knew from U.A, bakugo katsuki. top 3 in our year." he finished smirking slightly.

"wow", she said, gathering her curls to push them back some," that's so cool! i'm shikichi yui. I went to shiketsu. it's really nice to meet you."

bakugo turned his attention to her, and she could have sworn she saw him look her up and down, like checking her out. but as he just gave a nod, put a 10 on the counter, told them to keep the change and left to start his morning, she decided it was her imagination.

"yui." shinso said super close to her face. "stop spacing out so we can finish our shift and go."

"right," she said, displaying a small smile, "let's do this."
