A Hero and a Villain

Scene 8: Donuts, anyone?

[Shinso]

Hitoshi sat cross-legged under the red and gold umbrella, just outside of the local cafe. He sipped his blueberry-flavored coffee, his black sunglasses cutting through the blazing sunlight.

It had been a week or two since his encounter with that villain.....Reaper, was it?

Eri, Aizawa, and Yamada were worried out of their minds when he got back, and Aizawa was slightly furious at him, giving him an hour long scolding about how he should have called for help the moment he was captured, and how he shouldn't have trusted a villain. Just a dad being a dad, really.

Hitoshi yawned, watching the wisps of steam curl off of his coffee. He pulled out his phone to check his text messages, and when he looked up, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Sitting at the table across from him was none other than Andeddo Heishi. He was dressed in a plain black T-shirt, a denim jacket, a pair of jeans, and black sneakers, and his hair was tied in a low ponytail just above his neck.

He seemed to be on a heated call, because he kept clenching and unclenching his fist, and he almost slammed his phone into the table once or twice. When he was finally finished with the call, he placed the phone face-down on the table, resting his elbow on it and rubbing his temple frustratedly.

Hitoshi, making a quick decision, picked up his coffee and slid over to Andeddo's table. When Andeddo looked up, he looked shocked, but quickly adopted his usual suave smirk, "Mr. Shinso, what a pleasant surprise. How are you this fine day?" Hitoshi smiled, offering a hand, "Please, just call me Shinso." Andeddo shook it. "I'm fine, you?" he answered, gesturing to Andeddo's phone.

Andeddo sighed, but seemed slightly pleased that he asked, "Ah, that was.....a business call. A client called an important deal off. I must say, it put me off a bit." Hitoshi knew that was an understatement, but he smiled and said, "As long as you're profit stays stable in the long run, amiright?" Andeddo nodded, "I suppose you're right."

Hitoshi nudged his arm playfully, "Hey, what's your favorite kind of donut?" That caught him by surprise. Andeddo blinked a few times, "I.....uh.....regular glazed, I guess?" Shinso called over a waitress and whispered something to her. Andeddo felt his ears grow hot, but he quickly chided himself for overthinking it.

A few minutes later, the waitress came back with two donuts, one glazed one blueberry. Andeddo looked at Hitoshi with sparkling eyes, "You didn't." Hitoshi beamed, "In fact, I did." Andeddo put a hand over his mouth, and he looked like he was dying inside, "Omg, you have no idea how much I love you right now." Hitoshi made a (-w-) face, "What was that?" Andeddo flinched, snatching the donut to stuff his mouth, "Nuhfin." Hitoshi chuckled, sipping his coffee, "Thought so."

Andeddo glanced down at his phone, an idea popping into his head. "Hey, why don't we exchange numbers? Just in case we need to contact each other in the future?" Hitoshi thought for a moment, then nodded, "Sounds like a good idea." They traded phones and added each other into their contacts. Once they gave the phones back to each other, Andeddo subtly changed Hitoshi's contact name to "Senpai" and quickly stuffed it in his pocket.

They chatted for a while about random things: Hero status, gym workouts, new movies, and even the new Symbol of Peace, Deku.

Not long after, however, a blaring alarm rang out from just down the streets. Glass shattered across the sidewalk as a villain burst through the doors of the downtown bank, a bag of money slung over their shoulder.

Andeddo was on his feet even before Hitoshi, and actually had a gun in his hand! He looked at Hitoshi with a dead serious expression, "Stay back, I'll handle this." Hitoshi tried to protest, "You're a civilian, I'm a Hero! You shouldn't get involved! You'll get hur—" But Andeddo was already gone, chasing after the villain with unusual speed as clusters of bills rained down on the street.
