BNHA One-shots

Maid Café (Tenya Iida x Reader)

written by 🦑

"Y/N can you take care of the people that just walked in?" Your boss tells you to address another group of people, it's a short-staffed day and you're already serving quite a few tables, so you're clearly not too excited about this. Your body felt exhausted but you had to push through until your shift ended.

As you walk up to the waiting area, you see an intriguing looking group of people. There's a plain-looking green haired boy, he looks as if he'd be a main character in an anime. Then, there were two girls, both pretty short and both looked rather ordinary, except one of them kind of reminded you of a frog. After them, in walked in a rather interesting looking guy, with half white and half red hair. Last but not least, in walked in the final peer of their group. He was fairly tall, had glasses, and was quite buff. Something about the last boy was significant and you couldn't figure out what it was. Was it his glasses? His facial structure? Perhaps his build? Who knows. You quickly realize you're zoning out and hastily carry on with your job.

You greet them with a smile and lead them to a nice table in the middle of the restaurant. You cheerfully place down a menu in front of each person. While leaning over at the edge of the table, you look directly at the blue-haired boy.

"I've been waiting for you all day, Master" You say, as you wink at him. The whole group bursts in laughter and his face turns bright red. If you had to be honest, you found it quite cute.

"You can call me 'y/n-chan,' what's your name?" You say in a cute and ditzy voice.

"I-Iida, my names Iida," he replies. You lean up close to him and whisper loud enough that the entire group can still hear you, "I must say, I think 'Master' fits you better." He covered his face with his hands and the rest of the group would not stop laughing. It was obvious that he was flustered, as his face was practically about to explode and he could barely speak.

"I'll give you guys some time to browse our menus, I'll be back soon so don't miss me too much, Master," You say, leaving one last wink before heading off to serve another table.

While mentally preparing yourself for another set of tables, your coworker comes up to you before you could reach your next destination. She places her hands atop of yours and she has an evident look of worry and fear in her face.

"Y/N can you please serve my table, I will cover the one you're headed to, I promise. I don't feel very comfortable with mine."

"Sure! But what's wrong?"

"I can explain later, but thank you."

"No problem!" Surely it can't be that bad, you thought. You're usually pretty confident in yourself, so you could most likely handle what's coming in your direction. You turn around and head off to her previous table, which you are now responsible of.

Before reaching the table, you start subtly observing the occupants, just to get a central idea of who you're about to deal with. There were a couple of men, they seemed older, but definitely not mature. Their table was a mess and they seemed to be very disruptive. As you looked at them, their eyes furiously glared into yours.

"Hey beautiful, why don't you come over here and serve your Master," One of them says, while the other starts menacingly chuckling to himself. This is just absolutely great, you thought to yourself sarcastically. You start walking towards them, regretting taking your coworker's offer.

"What can I do for you, Master?" You absolutely hated saying, as these men were so vulgar it was almost repulsive.

"Why don't you come here and show your Master what you can do," One of them says, while looking at your figure thoroughly. After their disturbing glare at you, you suddenly felt your legs go numb, as if you've just gotten paralyzed. Sweat was gleaming down your face and terror filled your eyes.

They each lean into you and grab both of your wrists, then proceed to pull you closer to them. Their grip was so hard it felt as if they were grabbing your wrists with acid. They then started harshly breathing into your chest. Your heart started beating rapidly, and adrenaline coursed throughout your body.

Before they could start saying anything, you instinctively jolted backwards to free yourself out of their grasp. You manage to escape their hands but you end up falling onto the floor. Everyone in the café starts staring at you. You quickly stand up and brush yourself off, it felt as if everyone's piercing eyes were looking into your soul. Embarrassed about what happened, you began running to the entrance door, leaving so you don't have to deal with the crowd's intimidating glares.

Of course this would happen to me, you thought. Tears started compulsively slipping down your face. Am I going to get in trouble? What if those guys follow me? What if I get fired? What if-

"Calm down, you're going to be fine, I can assure you," A calm and heartening voice said. You didn't know you were saying your thoughts out loud, and you immediately started feeling humiliated.

A firm but gentle hand is placed on your shoulder. You turn around and it's that customer that you flustered earlier. His face seemed very endearing and genuine.

"I-Iida, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be with your friends? You shouldn't be wasting your time trying to comfort me, I'm fine."

"As a future pro-hero it is my duty to keep the civilians of this city safe, even if that means reassuring those in need. My friends are still in there situating the matter, so there's no need to worry. If it makes you feel any better, those men are being escorted out by security right away."

"T-Thank you so much, you really didn't need to do this."

"No need to thank me, I just wanted to make sure you were safe. No one deserves this kind of treatment." He moved his hands to yours, and gently caressed them. You both gazed into each other's eyes. The longer you two stared at each other the more his eyes would soften. His eyes twinkled with every reflection of light, as if his eyes were brimmed with stars that were extracted from the nighttime sky.

"We should go back inside, after all I still have a job to do," You said. You quickly glanced down at the floor after you realize how long you've been admiring Iida's eyes.

Iida slightly chuckled to himself while also looking down, "Yeah, I guess we should."

He looked back up to you and placed his arm out, gesturing you to grab it. You wrapped your arm around his and started to walk back inside the restaurant. His arm was firm, and certainly buff.

As you walk into the restaurant, you take a quick glance around the room and notice the two men are being put in handcuffs. You instinctively tighten your grip around Iida's arm, since the sight of those men still frighten you. Shortly after, those men are immediately escorted out, which gave you a sense of relief.

You released your grasp on Iida's arm, he noticed this and did the same.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for everything."

"It's no problem, if you ever need anything please don't be afraid to contact me" He smiled at you gently.

"Then, if you may, Master." You giggled, handing him your cell phone so he could add his number.

The young hero blushed, gently taking your phone and adding his digits there. He slowly handed it back to you, chuckling nervously.

"Now, may I ask, what's your hero name, Iida?" You questioned, making eye contact with him.

"I am the hero Ingenium." He smiled at you as you looked at your phone and typed out a contact name.

"Well, Ingenium, I have to go home now, but I'll make sure to text you later, okay?" You asked, getting ready to clock out.

"Will do, Ms. Y/N. Make sure to take care, alright?" he gave you a wave of farewell as you walked out, making your way home. You shot a text to Iida, telling him you got home safely.

After a few minutes, your phone went off, meaning you received a text. You picked it up, hoping it'd be from who you thought it was.

"From 'My Hero, Ingenium'." You read out loud.
