What if Izuku was a vigilante? What if his parents either died or abandoned him? What if he had to work in a cafe just to support himself? What if a certain sleep deprived coffee addict was hunting the vigilante Oleander and went to their cafe? What...
When Izuku woke up the next morning, his injuries from the previous night were starting to hurt. He had broken a rib and had a bunch of cuts and bruises, but Izuku still had to go to work. He couldn't just leave Mai alone like that, and he was good at hiding injuries. Izuku got ready, left for work, and did his usual routine. He nearly couldn't dodge the pillow fast enough though. Izuku made himself a coffee before starting on the pastries and had to rush them a little. Coffee was worth it though. When everything was done and set up, Mai went and flipped the sign on the door to let people know that they were open.
The first customer came in not too soon after. Izuku glanced up from the counter and was not expecting Erasure Head to be on the other side. It took all his effort not to start smiling like an exited child, although he kind of was.
"One black coffee, as dark as you can make it," the hero said plainly, sounding like he desperately needed to sleep for weeks.
"C-coming right up!" Izuku stuttered.
He took a seat and Izuku went to the back where he let his smol Izuku out. Only for a second though, he still had to make his coffee. Izukj followed the order to a t and asked Mai if he could serve a customer this time. She must've recognised his expression though, since she chuckled a little before agreeing. Izuku somehow managed to act like a regular human being as he gave the man his drink, and he even complimented the coffee Izuku gave him. Izuku couldn't have put into words how he was feeling at that moment. Izuku eventually built up all of the courage he had and caught him just before he could leave.
"Umm, e-excuse me?"
"Yes?" Came the reply.
"C-can I have your autograph?" Izuku asked shyly. He looked a little confused, so Izuku tried to explain. "You are Erasure Head, right? I'm a really huge fan of yours." The boy gave him a smile which wasn't returned before replying.
"Sure, kid. Do you have something I could sign?"
"Y-yeah, let me just quickly grab it," Izuku replied while trying to keep his excitement out of his voice. Izuku tried not to run as he went to the back where his bag was. Izuku always had a hero notebook on him just in case, and figured it would've been perfect for that. He also grabbed a pen as he left and went back to the hero. Izuku opened the notebook up to an empty page before handing it to him and letting him sign it. He handed it back to Izuku when he was done and Izuku was bursting with joy.
"Thank you!" He called.
"No problem, kid." He left and Izuku bolted to his bag, irritating his broken rib but he didn't care. Izuku pulled out his phone and immediately went on the group chat.
