ɴᴏᴡ ᴘʟᴀʏɪɴɢ: SWEAR TO GOD (Feat: Blackbear) ─⚪️──────────────── ◄◄⠀▐▐ ⠀►►0:00 / 2:31 ⠀ ───○ 🔊
It was a quiet day, but too quiet to comfort Aino as she scrubbed the graffiti off the brick walls. She'd been stuck on cleaning duty today, of course cleaning up inside is much more enjoyable but that was only a bit before closing hours. When the less sociable customers visit.
She sighed when she noticed some of the regulars filing out of the café, silently cursing her boss who stuck her outside for the day. Her finger twitched as she scrubbed off the last of the spray paint, glancing behind her.
"Kurosawa-San! It's almost closing, you can come in now!"
She flinched at her coworkers voice, turning and smiling at her. "Hai, Arigato!" She wasn't sure, but she swore she saw a pair of blue eyes staring straight at her.

"Hey, Kid, aren't you a little to young to be working here."
Aino glanced up at the man standing beside her. He wasn't too close so obviously he knew boundaries. Though his scared appearance or... face, did catch her off guard.
'But it is closing... Usually someone like this walks in.'
She mindlessly wiped down the rest of the table, murmuring a small response. "The legal age for a quirkless girls to work is 13, the laws for people like me hasn't changed in years." She chuckle slightly at the end of her sentence. Glancing at the man beside her.
He stared at her, seeming thoughtful for a moment. He sat down and sighed, earning a slight glare from the girl who had- 'just finished cleaning those seats are you fucking kidding me?'
He stared out the window asking a question Aino honestly hadn't expected. "Being quirkless. How's it been treating you?"
Aino paused, her eyes widening in surprise. No ones ever really asked her what being quirkless was like, no one ever really asked about her quirk in general. She guesses she should be thankful for that. She sighed before she decided to answer, continuing to wipe off the table.
"I guess it depends on who you are and how you were raised. My parents didn't care much. But I know that my classmates did, there was mild teasing, a bit of shoving, but they never got too physical. I do feel bad for some other quirkless kids though..."
Her neighbors face flashed across her mind for just a moment.
"... some sadly end up grabbing the short end of the stick." Aino watched the man carefully. Her green eyes scanning his figure. He was less tense than before, still staring out the window, looking at everything and nothing. She glanced at her bag off to the side. If he was here for the same reason as the other...
"Ah, it's in the past for me at this point. I dropped out and now I'm just taking online courses. Did you know, psychology is a lot more helpful in day to day life than people make it out to be." She smiled at him, grabbing her bag and shuffling through it.
The man flinched as a document slammed down in front of him. An empty one. A fake one. He stared at the girl in disbelief, who just chuckled in return.
"I know that look in your eye. Longing. Someone just like you came in last week. If you came here, it's for a new life. I know the words spread, but be careful who you tell, alright?" She smirked. "I don't need to be arrested this early on."
She sighed, extending her hand towards him. "Aino. Kurosawa Aino, to be exact." He stared at her hand for a moment, internally debating on what she could call him. "... Dabi."
She snorted. "I need your real name for this buddy. If you want a new identity, your gonna need to have absolutely no links to your old one." She shook her hand as if to highlight her point. He growled at her, shacking her hand. "Todoroki Touya."
She flinched in surprise at the name, but shook it off quickly. "Pleasure doing business with ya'."
She smiled at him.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe."
