Bakugou hated Deku. How his stupid roommate managed to break their shared coffee machine, he didn't want to know. But either way, there Bakugou was, walking to the nearest coffee shop, some hip place called "Sparkbucks". They probably wouldn't have the coffee he likes, which would ruin his morning more anyways. Even the name was fucking stupid.

He walked in and saw a blonde man with a black lightning bolt in his hair working the counter. The second the man in question saw Bakugou he flashed him a bright grin and Bakugou really wanted to turn back and leave, because who the hell is that excited at 7 in the fucking morning? He didn't though, because Bakugou worked at a corporate organization and all would go to hell if he didn't get his daily caffeine fix.

With a huff, he stepped up to the counter and cleared his throat. "Good morning! Welcome to Sparkbucks, what can I get you?", the man spoke with an annoyingly high-pitched voice, that was way too cheery for the time of day. "Black coffee", Bakugou grumbled. The man, Kaminari, Bakugou noticed by the name tag on his apron, didn't seem to mind though, because he replied just as joyfully, "Okie Dokie! What drinks size did you want?"

"Large."

"Huh?", Kaminari asked, sounding genuinely confused.

"Tch, I said large," Bakugou repeated more rudely.

The energetic blonde looked down at the monitor in front of him then back up at Bakugou, "Hm, just as I suspected, we don't serve those here."

Bakugou looked at Kaminari entirely dumbfounded. He turned his head to the left where empty cups of multiple sizes were displayed, then back at the man. "But- they're- right there?", he asked, entirely confused. Kaminari seemed to be equally as confused. What the hell. The barista nodded slowly, "Yes, um, but we don't have a large."

Bakugou blinked. What the fuck was the man talking about? Kaminari answered his question before he could voice it, "Um, our drink sizes are "Tall", "Grande" and "Venti"." Bakugou blinked again. Was this guy serious? It was too early for this. He shook his head with a sigh and motioned to the biggest cup they had, "This one."

Kaminari grinned again and god was he giving Bakugou whiplash from how fast his mood swung, "Alright! I'll get that for you-" Bakugou nodded and he thought that'd be it but the barista was still looking at him. It took him a few seconds to realize that he was waiting for him to say his name. "Fucking hell. Bakugou. My name's Bakugou."

To Bakugou's horror Kaminari grinned even brighter and scribbled, what Bakugou assumed to be, his name on the cup, "Gotcha, Bakubabe! That's gonna be 600 yen, please." Did he just call him- oh whatever, Bakugou probably just misheard him. There was no reason for him to be bushing right now, goddamnit.

Bakugou paid and stepped back, wondering why there were no customers coming in when the shop had such a cute barista. He was scrolling through his social media feed when Kaminari called his name. He stepped back to the counter and took the coffee cup that was handed to him. He muttered a simple thanks and turned around. As he was about to walk out Kaminari called after him, "Come back again sometime, Cutie!"

Bakugou's brain was melting at the nickname as he walked out of the shop. In a totally awful and bad way. Tch, Kaminari had no right to call Bakugou that. Besides he wasn't cute. Who did that damn barista think he is? Such an adorable idiot. No way was coming back there. Nope, he was not.

The next day his coffee machine was still broken and Sparkbucks was still the closest café to his apartment, which is the reason why he did come back. The cute man working the counter wasn't the reason. "Hm, but he is a bonus though", Bakugou's mind supplied helpfully. God he really hated Deku.
