Working in a coffee shop was miserable, if you asked Hinata. The smell of coffee and pastries reminding him how hungry he was, the ungodly hours he sometimes worked, and the people. Hinata was what others would call a "Social butterfly" but some of the regulars sent shivers down his spine. Especially a certain tall blonde with glasses that seemed determined to torture Hinata with silent sneers. But today seemed to be working in his favor.

The boy at the register was tall, taller than Hinata definitely, but not a giraffe like some of his other customers, with black hair and piercing eyes. Hinata couldn't help but feel intimidated though he had to admit he was a little good looking. Not that he would admit that out loud. He almost considered writing his phone number on the coffee cup until he heard the order.

"One black coffee," The boy said. Hinata stilled. Who orders a plain black coffee? He asked himself silently before dutifully turning to make the drink.

"And your name sir?"

"Kageyama," He said. Hinata made sure to commit it to memory. He scribbled the name on the cup, praying it was spelt right. He handed Kageyama the cup.

"Enjoy" Hinata smiled, his smile surprisingly genuine. Though he doubted anyone could truly enjoy a plain black coffee. Kageyama seemed to hesitate.

"What's your name?" He asked, the tips of his ears turning pink. Hinata almost found it cute. He shook off the thought.

"Hinata," Maybe next time he would scribble his number on the side of the cup, that is if there was a next time.

"Earth to Hinata," A hand waved in front of his face. "You can be lovestruck later, right now you have more customers," It was his manager, Suga.

"I was no-" Hinata began protesting as Suga steered him back to the register.

"Whatever you say," Suga said sarcastically. "Don't worry, he looked pretty interested in you too," Hinata's arguments were cut short as he had to deal with a slowly building line of customers. But he couldn't help glancing up at the door every time it opened in hopes Kageyama came back, for whatever reason.

At the end of the day Hinata was grateful to finally take off that god awful uniform and go home, but something stopped him.

"Hinata," Suga caught up with him on his way out. "You should ask out that boy. He seems totally interested in you," He said.

"Kageyama?" Hinata knew this was dangerous territory. Suga had always enjoyed playing matchmaker, and Hinata did not want to be one of his next victims. "Who said I was interested?" He used his best poker face (which wasn't very good). Suga chuckled.

"Oh please, I saw you going all heart eyes. It almost hurt to watch," Hinata could tell he was going red and tried his best to hide it.

"Someone like Kageyama is probably taken already anyways so there's no point,"

"What makes you say that?" Suga seemed genuinely curious.

"Because he's..." Hinata trailed off.

"Attractive?" Suga finished for him. Hinata turned even redder. He would never say that. He didn't like Kageyama, all he knew was the he liked black coffee, and that he had nice eyes, and-

"You're daydreaming again," Suga flicked him on the forehead.

"Was not!" No. Hinata definitely did not like Kageyama, in the slightest. He was terrible, the worst, probably chewed with his mouth open or something. Though something Hinata would never admit was that he secretly wanted Kageyama to come in again tomorrow.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Suga called after him once their paths split. "Think about what I said," Hinata most definitely would not. The only Kageyama related thing he would think about was his stupid coffee order.
