A Dash of Cinnamon (Kiribaku)

6:30 A.M.

(Kirishima POV)
"Kiri? You awake bro?" Kaminari shouts from downstairs.
SHIT IM LATE! *Thud* I scramble to get up off the floor.
"YUP NOW I AM!"
After slipping on my uniform and grabbing some toast I wave bye to Kami and I'm off.

It's only a couple minute drive to work so I turn on my favorite song (Party in the USA  OBVIOUSLY 🙄) I round the corner to employee parking and dash into the building exactly 30 minutes before the shop was scheduled to open.

*Insert timeskip here*

*sigh* I flatten my apron and flip the sign to open admiring the sun peaking just above the buildings across the street. I can already tell it's going to be a busy day as the regulars start spilling in through the front door. I grab my notepad and head off to start collecting orders.

"Well good morning to you Mr. Taishiro will it be the usual this morning?" I ask the grinning man sitting in front of me.

"Good morning to you as well Kirishima! That sounds wonderful thank you!" He finishes beaming.

"Alrighty! One iced latte and raspberry turnover coming right up!"

I waltz around collecting the rest of the orders and head back to the kitchen to get started. *I can't believe how many people there were this morning. Not to mention all those familiar faces from back in highschool, I'll have to ask 'em how life's been sometime soon.*

*Timeskip brought to you by a lazy author*

I wave off the last of the lunch rush crowd wiping my brow, turning to tidy things up in the kitchen after the surge of orders. That is until I hear the door chime and hear the all too familiar tap of shoes on the marble floor. When I turn around I'm met with the most enchanting crimson orbs that seem to have a fire of their own dancing and flickering, never ceasing. And oh his hair, it looks so fluffy I want to run my fingers through it over and over. His perfect skin too, the way it glows in the midday light. He seems like he's gonna be a tough one to open up - as I try my darn hardest to make this place feel like anyone can feel safe, a sanctuary from the harsh world outside - I really want to get to know him he just has this aura about him that makes you want to indulge yourself in every aspect of this perfect man.

"Oi dumbass, take a picture it'll last longer."

I feel a blush start creeping up my neck as I realize I've been staring ever since he walked in the door.

"S-sorry." I breathe to calm my racing heart and continue on with my shpiel. "Hello and welcome to Safe Haven we have a variety of different coffees or teas to choose from as well as a handful of baked goods all made from scratch how may I serve you this fine day?"
