"HITOSHI, DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT I THINK THAT KID IS SHOPLIFTING."

y/n pointed at a small kid around his preteens that seemed to be stuffing unpaid for objects in his pockets. hitoshi tilted his head back as soon as the girl said that, y/n gasping in shock. "no, i said dont look now !"

the tired boy sighed out, thinking that this day couldn't possibly drag on any longer. "they really don't pay us enough for this."

the slightly shorter girl nodded her head in agreement as they both walked over to the young boy, y/n thinking of how she should go about this in her head.

once the kid had realized they were behind him and had likely spotted him red handed, he turned around and his entire aura changed in the snap of a finger. "hewwo ! im kiwna lwost, can you guys help me ? ( ˘•ω•˘ )"

"wait how'd you say that--"

shinsou got straight to the point. "cut the act and please put the stuff back."

the boy took down his baby facade and glared at both of the clearly tired workers. "shut the fuck up, you can't tell me what to do. and you have no prove i did anything bad." the stubborn kid folded his arms over his chest.

"dude, do you see the bumps in your pockets ? gosh, i've seen babies do a better job at shoplifting than you ! two month old babies !" hitoshi shoved his elbow in the girls arm, signaling her to stop encouraging the brat.

"oh, r-right !" she sweat dropped and extended her hand out. "hand over the goods, buddy, its been a long fu- fricking day, please." she even added a small smile to make the kid cooperate.

"wow, ok, sure." he reached into his pockets. y/n sighed in relief.

that was easier than expected.

and then the little bitch bolted for the exit.

"ah- AH, SHINSOU ! WE GOTTA CATCH HIM !" she ran after the kid, her messy h/c locks following behind her.

"should've stayed at seven eleven" the purple head muttered as he followed behind y/n.

the other customers got out of their way as they saw them running, the kid not evening excusing himself through the crowds of people, and instead pushed through.

he turned around momentarily to shout at the two, "leave me alone, i have kids i need to feed !"

"kids !? you're a kid yourself, come back here !" y/n reached her hand out, finally being able to grab on to the kids wrist. he got pulled back and yelped in shock, shinsou's cold glare sending shivers down his spine.

"oh ! i know where i've seen you before now !" the girl tilted her head in confusion, the boy wearing a cheeky smile.

"you recently got fired, from being a hero's sidekick !" her e/c orbs expanded, her grasp on the kids wrist softing.

the male took that action as an opportunity to leave her grasp, bolting for the now closer exit yet again, this time his pace quicker than before.

y/n didn't even have time to react. she was left stunned. her sleep deprived friend let out a sigh in mere annoyance, deciding to not even go after the burglar anymore since he was already long gone.

shinsou rubbed the nape of his neck and tried to comfort his co-worker with his words. "y/n, don't listen to him. he was just trying to--"

the girl chuckled, and then giggled, and then full on started wheezing, her eyes now starting to tear up, and her face reddening with a dusted pink color.

"why are you laughing, didn't that job mean everything to you?"

she wiped a small tear off her face that was staring to roll down her warm cheek, and looked up to meet shinsou's purple eyes.

"that kid had a name tag on his shirt. and it was timmmy."
