Homra's Queen | Mikoto Suoh x Reader

10. Thank you

"Thanks for the help (Y/N)-Chan." Izumo thanked you as he placed the last bottle wine on the shelf. You gave Izumo a gentle smile from your position at the entrance of the bar as you swiped the floor with a broom.

The customer rush was insane that night. The whole place was crowded. It felt like the entire population of Shizume city was present inside Homra. That made Izumo ecstatic but it was difficult for him to manage the customers single handed. Thus while all the other members left; you stayed to help Izumo out. With your help, Izumo was able to tend to all customers without a hitch.

It was pretty late currently but you still stayed behind to help Izumo clean up as it was a Sunday the next day. Plus you would feel bad to just leave Izumo with all the extra work.

Getting all the dust off the floor with the help of broom and dust pan, you officially finished your portion of the task.

"And, done!" You exclaimed and pretended to wipe sweat off of your forehead for dramatic effect. You quickly scanned the bar, checking if anything else was left but no flaw was detected in your eyes. But it felt weird to you. The bar was so peaceful and quiet, something which was extremely rare thanks to the rowdy boys of Homra.

There were no other person present besides you and Izumo. Anna and Mikoto were probably asleep upstairs. You placed the broom to one side and walked up to Izumo who was situated behind the bar.

"Is there anything else I could help with Kusanagi-san?" You politely asked the bartender.

Izumo looked up at you and then looked down at his phone before looking up at you again. He gave you an angry look before lightly flicking you on the head.

"It's already late enough (Y/N)-chan. You've helped enough. Thank you very much but you need to go home now."

You also took a glance at you phone to check the time before looking up at Izumo and nodding. "You're right Kusanagi-san. I'll be going now! Bye bye!" You gave Izumo a big smile before walking off to get your things.

Just as you were about to reach the doors, Izumo's concerned voice spoke up.

"Wait! Are you sure you will be alright on your own? It's pretty late (Y/N)-chan. I'll go with you." said Izumo with concern lingering in his hazel eyes.

"It's alright Kusanagi-san! I'll be fine on my own. Thank you for worrying, but I don't want to bother you. I'll give you a text as soon as I reach home!" You reassured the mommy of Homra but still his concern didn't go away fully.

With that you walked out into the cold night while gripping your jacket tightly around you.

Amber eyes stared up at the starless sky, puff of smoke disturbing their focus as Mikoto blew out the smoke from his lungs. The red haired man stood in front of the window, his usually sleepy eyes wide awake. Maybe he had taken excess amounts of naps during day time that his body now refused to shut down. If his body kept up this tantrum, Mikoto might just have to pass the night away by smoking.

Inhaling from the burning stick once again, Mikoto exhaled the smoke from his lungs into the silent night. A noise caught the King's attention and he looked towards the source of the sound. Mikoto peered downwards from his window to see a mop of (H/C) hair calmly exiting the bar and strolling into the street. He immediately recognised the person as the newest member of Homra.

Mikoto quirked his eyebrow and looked at the digital clock on his night stand before traveling his gaze back to your walking figure. He closed his eyes for a second, his fingers moving automatically to his lips to grab the burning cigarette before extinguishing it on the ashtray before him.
