Katsuki Bakugo X Reader: Volume 2

Chapter 9: Awkward Encounter

As the sun rose on the horizon, you began your journey towards Endeavor's agency with a sense of dread in your heart. You were tasked with reporting a recent villain attack that occurred while you were returning from I-island, and you knew that this was no ordinary report. The pro-hero was one of the United State's most valuable collaborators, and protocol dictated that the number one hero must be informed about any engagement the foreign hero investigates.

The weight of the responsibility was heavy on your shoulders as you made your way towards the imposing building that housed the hero's agency. With each step, you felt your nerves fray, and your heart's dread grew more profound. You knew that the situation was urgent, and the stakes were high.

As you approached the receptionist's desk, you were greeted by the person who had directed you on your previous visit. She gave you a nod of recognition, and you followed her to a private conference room where Endeavor was waiting. The pro-hero sat at the head of the table, his expression stern and unyielding.

You took a deep breath and began your report, detailing the events that had transpired on your journey back from the I-island. Endeavor listened carefully, occasionally jotting down notes in a small notebook. When you finished, he thanked you for your report and dismissed you.

As you left the building, the weight on your shoulders lifted slightly, and you felt a sense of relief. However, you went to a local coffee shop as you desperately craved some hot coffee.

As you walked through the door of the cozy coffee shop, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped you. You glanced over the menu board, taking in various options available. After much contemplation, you stepped up to the counter and placed your order, the words rolling off your tongue with practiced ease. As you waited for your drink, you took a seat at a nearby table, your eyes wandering around the charming interior of the cafe. The sound of the coffee machine whirring and the soft murmur of conversation created a relaxing ambience. Finally, your drink arrived, and you savored the first sip, the warmth spreading through your body. You couldn't help but feel content and happy in this delightful little coffee shop.

As you walked towards a nearby table, you bumped into a familiar face. "Oh, hey! Interesting running into you here," you said.

"Ren? What are you doing here?" Bakugo's voice quivered slightly. You noticed his hesitancy but decided to brush it off.

"I came to Endeavor's agency to fill out some paperwork for the hero stuff," you replied while taking sips of your warm coffee. "I didn't expect you to be the cozy coffee type."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Bakugo responded nonchalantly.

"Oh, nothing. I mean, I just thought...never mind."

You took another sip of your coffee, trying to calm your nerves. There was an awkward silence between you and Bakugo, and you could feel the tension in the air. You wondered if there was something more to his reaction but decided not to push it. Instead, you changed the subject and asked him how his hero work was going. He launched into a detailed account of his recent missions, and you listened intently, grateful for the distraction. As the conversation flowed more naturally, you couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that the encounter was no longer as awkward as it had been at first.

"Coffee and an Iced Caramel Macchiato for Bakugo." The hostess projected out the ash-blonde's order. You noted that he had ordered two drinks, and you began to feel curious. You asked Bakugo about the extra drink, and just as he was about to answer, a female figure approached the both of you.

"Hey babe," a female walked up and clung her arms around Katsuki.

You froze for a moment, unsure of how to react. Bakugo quickly pulled away from the woman as he felt uncomfortable and handed her the icy drink.
