July 27th, Wednesday, 7:30 AM
Izuku's POV

The bright light from the windows blinds me, since I forgot to close the curtains once again. I should probably start doing that soon. Or ask Eimiko too.

I sit up, ignoring Hikari's loud snoring and go to the kitchen. I grab a small bento box and eat it, because who wants to make food at 7:30 AM? Not me.

I go to grab my work outfit, and run into Kenji.
"Morning, Ken!"

He rubs his eyes, and looks at me again. "Hey, Izu. How was work last night?"

I've told everyone in the house that I started vigilante work a week ago, because I trust them. Even if I've only known them for a couple weeks.

"It was alright, I glitter bombed Tsukauchi's car though, he looked so pissed off." Ken holds in a laugh, imagining the look on his face when he sees it

"I have work now though..so I'll be back later, make sure that Hikari doesn't skip on her class work so she won't miss out, and Eimiko's computer for her classes is on top of the closet. You're in charge,"

"Sir yes Sir Izuku Sir!" Ken declares, saluting to me

"You and Seiko mine aswell be best friends.." I sigh, and turn away to the bathroom. I hear Kenji laugh from behind me.

I change into the work outfit, it's just a black top with a white apron, and it has small cats on it. I think it's the cutest thing ever, but of course, Seiko says otherwise. His opinion on cats is irrelevant to me though.

I slip on some black converse before heading out and onto my bike. I've owned this h the ing for months now, and ever since I added an engine to it, it's been the funniest thing ever. Sometimes, Hikari would start crying from how fast it went.

I get onto it, and speed over to the cafe

Arrival to the Café

I unlock the café door, and see Embry putting some macaroons in the display, and shooing the café's cat from the counter.

"Morning, Embry, Do you need help?" I ask, holding out a hand to grab a pan

"Morning, Kohaku, and Yeah thanks!" She hands me a pan of macaroons and I slides them into the slot right next to the other batch.

"So..Kohaku..can you you any instruments?" Embry turns to me, I think for a second, remembering what I use to play in Middle.

"Oh..I played the drums, and I did a little bit of guitar out of school.." I answer to her

"That's so cool! You should totally play here once, I bet a lot of the coffee lovers here would kill for some great music!" She exclaims, I swear, she's always on the edge of joy

"I was never that great..but thank you anyway,"

"Oh come onnnn, you should still try it!" She insists

"Maybe next time, I have to put up the open sign, it's 8:15." I say, pointing to the clock on the wall

"Okay. I'll be in the back eating a small batch of macaroons. Get me when you need me."

"Gotcha. Enjoy the macaroons."

"Will do!" She skips away from the counter and into the staff room. I watch her as she does, then go to turn the closed  sign over.

After 15 minutes, a series of people start coming in. Majority are regulars, I often see them, so we greet each other. I already know most people's usuals, and coffee with muffins is a major favorite here

I hear the bell from the door jingle as I'm petting sunset (The cat). I look over, and see a hobo looking man enter.

I take a good look at him, his hair just about shoulder length with tired eyes, bags as thick as a night sky, and black eyes.

Eraserhead.

I stand there shocked for a minute, what's he doing here? He doesn't regularly patrol these parts. Did he hear about this place for someone? Or was it a schedule change?

Whatever it was, I need to keep my act up, or else he'll recognize me. I head over to the counter, dropping sunset and shooing her out the way.

"Morning, welcome to Stare flare cafe, what can I get you?" I say, trying to sound Atleast the littles bit of happy.

But trust me, when someone who's been tracking you down for about a week or two now is near you, it's not easy.

"Can I get a black coffee and choclate muffin?" He asks, his voice probably still a little scratchy from when he was yelling at me.

"Alrighty, I'll go get that for you." I turn around from the counter, and start on the coffee. and while I wait a bit, I grab a chocolate muffin with a Napkin, then the coffee with my other hand. I put the top onto it and set it down on the counter

"That'll be 609.61 yen. (5.30 USD)"

He grabs it out his pocket and hands it to me, I put it into the register as he he and the coffee, and goes to sit down. I watch as he drinks the coffee

As soon as he does, he lights up with surprise. My coffee is a well known favorite for the regulars here, they say I'm the 'Ultimate Coffee Maker,' or atleast that's what Mrs. Madeleine says

"Holy hell this coffee is good..I'm gonna have to get Tsukauchi Over here," Aizawa says, taking another large sip of coffee

Tsukauchi AND Aizawa? That's like wanting to be caught. But at the same time, if I just suddenly quit from the job Ive had for weeks now, right when Tsukauchi and Aizawa come, I'm gonna look suspicious.

So I'm either gonna have to roll with it, or look suspicious to both the pro hero and the detective. I think Is rather roll with it, than get caught from being a coward.

Cowardness isn't a cool and admirable thing, it just shows how weak you are when it comes to your self trust. I think that if you can trust your own self and what lies ahead, you're far from a coward

So that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna have to trust myself with what I'm about to do.
