"So.... Is it big?" Kami leaned close to Y/n's ear, the two of them intently watching Midoryia as he spoke on the phone. Y/n's face scrunched up and she glared at Kami.

"Kami...for the love of god..." As she mumbled, she and Kami returned to what they were doing as Midoryia peeked over at them. Placing his phone in his back pocket, he took a deep breath and walked over to Y/n.

"I have bad news and good news," Midoryia started, Y/n stood up straight and crossed her arms.

"Bad news first," Kami rolled her eyes, grabbing Y/n's shoulder, and pulling her slightly back so she could talk to Midoryia.

"I have an idea! how about the good news first?" Kami asked, glancing between Y/n and Midoryia. Y/n huffed and reluctantly nodded.

"Okay good news first," Midoryia sighed placing an arm on his forehead. "So no fingerprints have been matched, but! They were able to recover security footage from this morning"

Y/n began to nibble on her bottom lip, her eyes spacing out as she took in what Midoryia said. He noticed her anxious stare, her fingers tapping at her thighs. He reached a handout and gently took her hands in his, his thumbs rubbing over her knuckles.

"We can take a break from cleaning, you and I can walk over to my agency?" Midoryia offered, Kami looked around the cafe, her eyes glancing down. She snatched a paper from the floor and held it out.

"That's a good idea! While you two check the security cams, I can run to our property manager's office and talk insurance!" Y/n frowned at Kami, feeling Midoryia's eyes on her she forced a smile and shrugged her shoulders.

"Alright...let's meet up in a few hours" As the 3 said goodbyes, Y/n and Midoryia walked down the sidewalk. her head was down, cracking her knuckles as she thought of how much damage she would have to pay for.

"Y/n?" picking her head up, her eyelids were heavy, and her lips were red from her constant biting. She looked tired, miserable even. He sucked a breath in through his teeth and kept his speed moderate.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked, Y/n lifted a brow and pursed her lips. What the hell else would she be thinking about? As she stared at him, Her eyes softened, swallowing any venom she was about to spit out. She couldn't snap at him, not after everything he had done for her. She felt her chest grow heavy, she had to let him in.

"I'm thinking about a lot...the cafe, the money, my dad..." she swallowed and looked straight ahead.

"Us..." Midoryia choked, and his eyes widened slightly. Clearing his throat he placed a hand on the back of his neck.

"Do you want to talk about any of it?" He asked gently, it was almost as if he was tiptoeing toward her with a weapon in hand. Y/n clenched her jaw, slowly shaking her head. Not yet, he couldn't come in just yet.
