Kagehina Coffee Shop AU

Chapter Six

Sugawara was exhausted. He had previously made the somewhat terrible decision to take on some extra hours the rest of that week and it was not going well for him.

He had done it to keep an eye on Hinata, though he knew the 5'3 barista could handle himself; he couldn't help but be concerned after the previous day's incidents. He was pretty sure the situation with Kageyama had righted himself, seeing as the two walked home together, (Which Suga found adorable)but Hinata still seemed a little shaken from the woman Hinata had deemed "Karen" The next morning.

"So how did things go with Kageyama yesterday?" Suga finally thought to ask. Hinata went bright red, but turned to conceal his face from Suga, straightening things on the counter.

"It went fine," He said, though Suga could tell Hinata was happy, "Why did you tell him my hours?" Hinata pouted, though he couldn't hold the face for long. Suga had known this was coming.

"Come on, you just needed a little push," He chuckled "You both looked so awkward I thought I'd help out a bit," Hinata huffed but didn't argue. "You should give him your number when you see it next," Suga continued.

As if on cue, Kageyama walked in, followed by Tsukishima and Yamaguchi which were previously regulars at the shop. Tsukishima made a face kind of like a smile pointing Hinata out to Kageyama, who immediately turned red.

Suga who was currently at the register quickly relinquished it to Hinata.

"I'm going to get something from the back, take care of them for me," He winked before heading into the back room.

He did his best to busy himself for a reasonable amount of time before peeking his head out once again. Hinata seemed caught in a somewhat uncomfortable conversation with Kageyama, but it wasn't as awkward as the last conversation between them he had witnessed, so Suga counted it as a win. Once the trio had stalked away from the counter and found seats, Suga approached a somewhat dazed looking Hinata.

"You okay?" Suga asked, waving a hand in front of Hinata's face, his cheeks were almost the color of his hair.

"He....He called me cute," He whispered, almost in astonishment. Hinata.exe has stopped working.

Suga took over the register once again when someone new walked in, that Suga did not recognize. The guy was good-looking, strong build, a pleasant expression on his face, it gave Suga an idea. he leaned over to Hinata,

"Watch this," He whispered. The person walked up to the counter, studying the menu.

"I'll get the New Orleans cold brew,"

"Good choice," Suga said in a low tone as he got to making the drink, "And can I get a name for that?"

"Daichi,"

"That's a nice name," Hinata looked just about ready to dig a whole and bury himself in it.

"And what is your name?" Daichi asked. Suga tried his best not to laugh, pointing at his name tag.

"Sugawara, but you can call me Suga," Suga scribbled Daichi's name on the cup before adding his phone number with the words "Call me!" next to it. He handed over the coffee cup watching Daichi leave. He turned back to Hinata.

"And that is how it's done," Suga felt awfully pleased with himself, he had given Daichi his number, a major accomplishment on it's own, though he wasn't 100% sure he would actually get a call, and he had also shown Hinata that there was nothing to be afraid of, though the boy seemed traumatized in the moment.

"What's with the look of disgust?" Suga asked, arching a brow.

"That was like watching my mom flirt with some random guy," Hinata shuddered.

"Awww, I'm like a mom to you?" Suga couldn't help but think that it was adorable, though he had to admit he thought of all the younger employees like his children.

"Anyways, I wrote my number on Kageyama's cup already," Hinata muttered. Yep, Suga definitely felt like a proud mom.
