Kit Connor Imagines

summary: when kit loses his younger cousin in the store he doesn't expect to find you with his cousin, but he doesn't mind.

Kit's POV:

"Come on Ezra, we gotta find the flour." I tell the little kid walking by my side. Ezra is my younger cousin and I decided that today I'd look after her.

I make my way down the aisle, going around a corner to look for the flour when I notice not a sound coming from Ezra. While turning around, wanting to ask if something is up, I realise I was alone in the aisle.

When I walk back where I came from, still no trace of the young child.

Y/n's POV:

I'm just putting conserves on the shelf when I notice something, or rather someone, looking at me from near the floor. My eyes focus on the small child, and I crouch down to be the same size as the black haired child. "Are you looking for someone?" I ask, looking around, but the aisle is empty and apparently no one is looking for them.

"My cousin left me alone to get something, but I think I was supposed to go with him." When I want to stand up in my full size to help the child look for the cousin, I am stopped by them telling me: "You're pretty. I bet Kit would like you." I assume Kit to be the cousin we're searching for so I just smile, brushing it off.

I take them by my hand, walking slowly to the next aisle, where we see a woman and a man, discussing which cereal they should buy.

We move to the next aisle which is empty, when we are about to go to the register, I hear someone shout from behind me.

"Oh god, Ezra. I was looking for you!" Suddenly the child's hand leaves mine and they rush towards the young man in front of us.

"Hi Kit, I made a friend." I notice a teeth missing when they look up to the presumable cousin. "Oh god, thank you so much for staying with her." He seems to be really stressed, so I laugh, letting him know I wasn't mad.

"It's no problem, she was a lovely company." I smile, getting on her level to say goodbye. "Goodbye, Ezra. It was nice to meet you." I smile, shaking her little hand.

"Goodbye.." She pauses, obviously not knowing my name. I laugh at how I could've forgotten that. "I'm Y/n." She repeats her sentence, with my name this time and I stand up, "Kit" already looking at me. "Again, thank you so much for helping her. My name is-" "Kit, I know." I laugh, pointing at the little girl who was looking pretty bored. "She told me."

After they leave and I finish my job, going to the register to help out there. "And Y/n, who was that boy you were talking to earlier?"

My friend, Y/f/n, asks when there are no customers. "Y/f/n! He lost his cousin, don't pretend I'm in a relationship with everyone I talk to." I roll my eyes, seeing the next customer approach.

"I know, but he was pretty." They finalise, going into the break room already.

The rest of the day, I am lost in my thoughts, analysing him. What my friend said was right, he was pretty, but I can't just crush on any person I meet. Especially if I'll never meet them again.

When I wake up the next day, I get ready for my job, already wanting to sleep again.

My workday is mostly normal, I work at the register for most of the day, occasionally cleaning up after a few customers. I'm finally on my break, sitting on a chair, when Y/f/n enters, smiling in a way I've never seen before. "There's someone at the register, asking for you."

Before I can ask any questions, they rush away, leaving me in confusion. I stand up, excited to see who might be waiting for me when I see Kit at the register.

He smiles at me, awkwardly waving when I walk there and I copy his gesture.

This is so weird.

"Uhm hey, can I do anything for you?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Hi, I'm- I just wanted to apologise for what happened yesterday and thank you again for keeping an eye out on Ezra." He shows me the flowers in his hands, shoving them into mine.

"I hope you aren't allergic." He laughs, awkwardly. We finish small talk after I notice my break will be over soon.

*a week later*

Kit had come in a few more times after the incident, shopping like any other customer and having a bit of small talk with me.

It had been nice talking to him, even if Y/f/n teased me for it, but he seemed to get more nervous everyday he came in.

Today is the most awkward one yet, he can barely form any words. I'm about to say goodbye, when he decides to add something else. "Would you want to- I mean do you want to do something with me? Like a date, but it doesn't have to be. I mean, only if you want to and don't feel like you have to.." He goes on and on, ranting about how stupid it was to ask me in the first place when I just laugh.

"I'd really like that, Kit."

*bonus content*

"Everyone, meet my partner: Y/n." Kit and I had been dating for a little more than a year now and he was introducing me to his family, gathered in the living room.

"I knew he would like you." Ezra smiles a toothy grin, showing the two missing teeth. "You did." I admit, laughing.
