Every morning, before Izuku would venture out to take photos if he has the chance, he loved to stop at his favorite coffee place and grab his favorite iced frappuccino topped with whipped cream and syrup.

But this morning wasn't like every other regular morning, because he had to rush his way out the door and grab the nearest taxi as soon as he possibly could to make it in time to the next Dynamights' photo shoot. After all, as it turns out, unsurprisingly to everyone but him, he landed the job.

Ashido apologized over the phone for the short notice on the shoot as their team didn't realize they needed to get a brand deal completed by the end of the week, and with their last photographer gone, they weren't able to get it done sooner than they'd like.

But, Izuku managed. It wasn't his first time having to skip out on his favorite coffee but he sure felt tired when he got to the studio. Ashido gave him the same instructions as she did on Friday, where he could relax in the waiting room while the crew prepared for him.

The break room had a coffee machine, but Izuku wasn't a fan of hot coffee. Sure he could put ice in it and try to add some flavoring to it but it wouldn't be the same as his usual from his favorite coffee shop. What could he say? He was picky with what he could drink in the morning.

To keep himself awake and occupied, he tinkered around with his professional camera, making sure everything worked properly and that it was calibrated correctly. He did this every day twice, but he could never be too sure of himself.

Meanwhile, he hasn't noticed the person carefully observing him from Aizawa's office, studying his face, his actions, and everything around him. He'd noticed something was somewhat different from the previous day, cautiously shutting the door and exiting the office and eventually exiting the building without a word.

Izuku felt as though he was waiting longer than the day before. Perhaps because it wasn't a practice shoot, more work had to be done with the set as well as getting the outfits fitted for each of the band members. It was a brand deal for a fashion line, after all.

He stopped questioning it until he could vaguely hear Ashido frustratingly exclaiming within the studio.

"You guys don't know where he is!? That jerk! He's wasting all our time! He still needs to get dressed, and have his hair and makeup done! Izuku's been waiting out there for about half an hour now! He could at least answer his phone or our text messages! I swear when I see him, I'm gonna-"

Izuku couldn't hear the rest as it sounded like Ashido got farther away, her voice fading within the distance. Now, he was really confused about what was going on. It sounded like one of the bandmates wasn't present yet.

He started to think negatively as the only person he could think of to do something like this was Katsuki. Was this his way of protesting against Izuku being the new photographer? By not showing up? Did he really not like him that much?

Izuku's mind started to race, thinking of all the possibilities this could mean, with all of them somehow always being his fault. The only thing to break him out of it was being presented with his usual frappuccino that he missed out on today, which caught him completely off guard making all the voices in his head shut up instantly.

"Got this for you."

"Oh, thank you-" He followed the arm holding his drink to see who it belonged to, gasping when he saw who it was.
