Breezy weather always called for a nice cup of coffee, for Kaminari.
As if the luring scent of pumpkin spice weren't enough of a tease flowing from cafes and other stores competing for the larger customer rate, the advertising for new yearly flavors of coffee and treats always stood out to him.

He's an Autumn's guy, and a sucker for everything about it.
He loves the cold weather, the sights that Autumn has to offer, the long sleeves and coats, and of course, the holidays and celebrations.

He's the happiest, in October.

Seeing him at the family cafe is a story replayed way too many times.
He's especially often seen at the cafe whenever the temperatures drop a bit.

There hasn't been a day where he's wandered in without a smile, contagious and bright enough to brighten up someone else's days.
His parents own the shop, and anyone who's hired is bound to become part of the family. Their reputation of the town's best coffee isn't taken lightly, either.

His name is cheered about whenever he enters the cafe, which only widens his smile, dimples sinking in at the stretch of his lips. His posture reads nothing but a happy man, in a happy place. His eyes glimmer at about anything and everything, down to decorations, people, and opportunities for a good treat or two.

Immediately, however, he spots someone new in the cafe.
A disastrous, nervous-looking, fidgety looking boy, clearly to be if not at his age level, then a bit older.

He's stood behind the boss of the house; Kaminari's father, a jolly man with a smile Kaminari has proudly inherited. The man laughs aloud as the newly employed barista nervously cowers a bit more, in his shaky place.

"Daaaaad, my man!" Kaminari cheers out, arms out wide as a happy greeting. The man jumps as if he hasn't seen his boy in ages, and quickly rushes out from behind the counters to hug him.
Whilst engaging in a tight hug, electric yellow eyes meet nervous, fidgety red ones.
Curiosity booms amongst ropes of clear anxiety from the new arrival.

"Here to hang out, or for a coffee?" The man asks in a chirpy tone.
"Both, you already know me! How dare you make it seem as if I'd have to choose," Kaminari laughs.

"Alrriiiight! Have a seat then, and be ready to be blown. Away." His hands wave before them as if to paint a mirage, as he swiftly slides back behind the counter.

"Meet our new barista!" He introduces, dropping large, encouraging hands on the employee's shoulders. He jumps a tad, and snaps his widened gaze towards the family customer. "He'll be serving you today! Lucky you, you have the honor to be his first served drink!"

Kaminari gasps in ecstacy, and jumps in his seat, clutching hands at the counter as he beams another smile. "Dude! Welcome! How're ya fittin' so far?"

He stutters out sounds of question, before the man moves on past the little interaction.

The new barista seems so aware of the far that this is his new boss's son.
Any little mistake, and he fears to be either harshly judged by the man, or even worse, fired on his first day.
