You hated going to the mall, the stupid customers the annoying music and just the sheer pompous attitude and bored around the place. It was even worse for when you had to work there on your weekends. However, there was a single upside to your entire job there. Nearby the local shoe store was a girl you went to high school with, and her name was Pony Tsunotori. A foreign exchange student from America. She was a very nice girl, super smart too. So yeah, you had a bit of a crush on her. It didn't help that some of your classmates knew about it and would sometimes pester you about it as well.
Such as the case now where you were working at the second level game store with Monoma and Honenuki, two close friends of yours. While on was calm, revered and cared about your well-being, the other was Monoma. You were behind the counter, going through stock records for the day, making sure everything was alright. The store was relatively packed. And by packed, you meant about 6 or 7. As you were working, Monoma walked over to you and smiled.
You glanced back at him, cocking an eyebrow at him as he smirked at you.
(Y/N): (Sighs) What is it now?
Monoma: I was just wondering if you had gotten the-
(Y/N): If this is about what I think this is about, leave it be. We've got work to do and I intend to do it.
Monoma: Just asking is all. Don't need to freak out.
You rolled your eyes as you saw him walk off. You sighed and rubbed the back of your neck in annoyance. Honenuki walked over to you as well and placed a few games along the counter display for people to select. He glanced up at you and offered up a smile.
Honenuki: You move at your own pace.
(Y/N): (Sighs) Thanks. When's closing again?
Honenuki: About another hour. She has closing shift today too.
(Y/N): I know. Back to it.
Honenuki nodded and walked off to continue work. You continued to look through the records of the store and sighed, placing the tablet down onto the desk. You looked out to see a few people looking through some games. One person did walk up and request a purchase on a game and mini statue of All Might. A pretty pricy thing, but hey, you weren't the one buying. Once that customer left, there was a minor exodus from the store. So, it was just the three of you in that store alone.
There wasn't much to be done outside of cleaning up some shelves and restocking here and there. You had done another inventory check and smiled at seeing everything was in order. Once you did, you cracked your back and walked outside the store to take in the sights around the mall. You still couldn't stand this place, but you did like the money you could get. You then glanced down and saw Pony in the store.
You smiled slightly at seeing her. You sighed and turned around and leaned back against the railing. You then glanced up and saw Monoma smiling at you and gestured you off. You knew what he was saying and sighed. You glanced back and saw Pony laugh a bit and turn back to the store. However, the second you looked away, Pony glanced up at you and walked back inside.
You walked into the store only to have Monoma greet you, spin you around and shove you outside.
(Y/N): What are you-
Monoma: Do it now, or don't do it at all. Even I'm sick of it.
(Y/N): Alright, alright. But what if-
Monoma: No! Do it, or else.
(Y/N): Or else what?
Monoma: I'll do it for you.
