Note: Here's a cute lil oneshot whilst I write the main story! This will be a Modern!Inosuke X Reader that I wrote ages ago for my Tumblr, but I altered it slightly. I hope you enjoy :)


The young man pushed open the glass door with a huff. His hunger was taking over him, so he decided to sprint to the first coffee shop he could find so he could scoff down some food. As he pushes open the door, the jingle of a dainty bell greets him. Even though from the outside the shop seemed small and unimpressive, couples and stray people sat at the solid wooden tables and the air seemed cheery.

The smell of coffee beans and freshly baked goods fills his nose as he looks around the small shop with emerald eyes. Paintings littered the walls to add to the cozy feeling, and his eyes flicker to one in particular. A group of people stand together with huge smiles on their face, and it was printed in black and white. He furrows his eyebrows as two people in particular catch his attention. A boy with a boar mask stands close to a girl, his arms wrapped protectively around her. She had short hair, but he couldn't quite make out the colour it would have been. They seemed head over heels for each other, and they were all cheering.

He slumps in the nearest table he could find and plucks up a laminated menu with his calloused hands. Fish cakes, mochi, tea cakes, cupcakes. The menu had everything- he was salivating at the thought. He was in heaven imagining all the food he could get his grubby hands on, until a soft voice pulls out of his trance.

"Hey! What can I get for you today?" the soft voice greets him cheerfully, and as he looks up he can feel his cheeks flush. The voice belonged to a girl- an incredibly pretty girl he must admit. Soft (E/C) peek at him behind long lashes, her (H/C) hair falling in waves around her shoulder. Her plump pink lips were fixed in a small smile, matching perfectly with her (S/C) complexion.

Inosuke splutters, the menu falling from his hands as they go limp. He looks up at the girl, his brain in a almost buffering state. Was he dreaming? Why didn't he feel hungry anymore? She raises an eyebrow in a playful manor, and softly clears her throat.

"Uh- Um. I'll uh...I'll have the mochi. And um, the fish cakes?" He stutters out, unsure of what he even wanted and was even ordering. She giggles, and jots down his awkward order on her small waitress pad.

"So some uh mochi and um fish cakes? Coming right up!" she teases, and tip toes away from his table. He watches as she goes, raising a hand to his burning hot face. 

"Damn Inosuke, this is unlike you" He murmurs to himself as he watches her leave and duck behind the counter, his head in his hands. Even her steps were soft and bouncy, like she was genuinely enjoying life. 

Minutes pass and the cluttering of plates pulls him out of his thoughts, and he jumps slightly. The girl giggles as he jumps in his seat, and she finishes putting his food down in front of him. He stares at it for a second as he gulps and the girl begins to walk away. Something comes over him and he quickly grabs the girls wrist, his heart beating a mile a second in his chest. She looks at him strangely for a second before her cheeks flush pink from the touch.

"I'm sorry...you just. You just look like that girl in the photo over there" He spits out as he points to the black and white photo by the door. She snaps her e/c eyes over to the photo, and a sad smile graces her lips. Sighing slightly, she turns to the boy.

"I'll...i'll tell you more about that after closing if you'd like" She whispers as she walks away from the small table, and his eyes are wide as he stares after her. 

The young man no longer regretted his choice of coffee shop, and he would make sure to call in here more often.
