Equilibrium (Todoroki x OC)

Chapter 17

Yami's POV

My phone buzzed, interrupting Todoroki's request. "Oh! Of course, we can talk about it somewhere private if you'd like?" I asked while checking my phone. It was Sora.

Sora

Hey Yami! While on your break, could you grab all of us some coffee? We might all be here for a little longer, but please take your time! You won't be back on for another hour or two.

I sighed, and shoved my phone back in my pocket, but she had sent another message just as I was about to put my phone away.

Sora

BTW, Yaoyorozu is here to join you on behalf of her family! So is uh, Kiyoshi... (I tried to beg the director to not have him come over but his family was too persistent. I'm sorry!)

My eyes widened, mouth gaping even. Kiyoshi... a name I haven't heard in a while.

"Is everything okay Mei? We don't have to talk about it now-"

"No, no! We can talk about it now, I have plenty of time! Let's take a walk to the nearby coffee shop and get some drinks and quickly drop it off somewhere, yeah?"

"Where to?"

"Just follow me, I'll explain on the way."

We walked out of the nursery together and headed over to the small coffee shop. I felt my phone buzz again, and I noticed Todoroki glanced over in my direction.

Sora

BTW BTW, I already placed the order so you can just pick it up! :)

I finally decided to text her back after realizing I haven't done so with the last two.

Yami

Sorry for not replying earlier! I was too caught up with my little plant friends. I'll go pick them up rn and continue with my break!

Sora

You and your little plant friends never fail to amaze me, Yami. I'll meet you in the back of the building so you don't have to deal with Kiyoshi's annoying self lol

I let out a heavy breath and put my phone away. Todoroki and I had finally arrived at the shop and I held open the door for him.

"So you probably want an explanation first, right? Is it okay if I give you a short one now?"

"Go ahead. I'm listening." He told me as I went up to the counter with all the orders placed. I saw the orders Sora placed. They were all in a tray and I carefully picked them up, thanking the workers.

"I'm in the middle of a modeling shoot right now but I really would not like to go back." I said sheepishly as we began exiting.

Todoroki quickened his pace and held the door open for me. "Thank you, Todoroki."

"Why not?" He questioned.

"Let's just say I'm also escaping from seeing someone as well." We stopped at the edge of the sidewalk, "Let's quickly cross here and we can go to find some place to chat." I looked back at him and he nodded.

We headed towards the building where we were taking photos. "That's fine with me."

I saw Sora from a distance, waiting outside. She looked like she had just got in that position seeing how out of breath she was. The young woman then saw me from far away and rapidly came jogging towards us.

"Yami! Oh thank you so much!" She took the tray from my hands, and immediately noticed Todoroki standing next to me. "Who's this??" She wiggled her eyebrows a little.
