Just Smile (Boku no Hero Academia Fan Fiction)

part 19 | her smile

(Third Person POV)

"Ah..."

Todoroki felt, somewhat refreshed after visiting his mother in the hospital, having the guts to see her after so many years made him feel nervous when he saw her face to face, but when he was told that she... forgave him for not visiting, made him feel happy. He talked to his mother about many things, how schools been, the sports festival... his relationship with his father & even... with Kyoshu

He looks up at the sky as he walked down a busy street, he felt tired after hours of conversing with his mother but he also felt very hungry, he was craving for soba. He goes towards a restaurant that sells it but a different scent caught his attention. He looked over & saw it was coming from a café, & so he made his way towards the it, he peered in through the window & raised an eyebrow when he saw a familiar face

"Takeyama?" he looked in & saw she had her signature smile on her face but he raised an eyebrow when he saw her hair tied up in a small low bun but still had her hair covering her eyes with her brown streaks hanging off the sides of her face, she wore a casual looking waitress outfit (the one without a skirt) & had two trays of food & coffee on each hand "That must be hard..." he muttered as she watched her surprisingly spin around on her foot as she served customers

"Sorry to keep you waiting~" she said as she set them down on a table for a couple, who smiled up at her

"Thank you, young lady." she saluted them with her index & middle finger

"No problem." she rose a bit when she heard the ding from a bell, indicating someone had just entered the café, so with a bright polite smile she turned towards the door "Welco--" she stopped when she saw who entered "Oh? Shouto?"

"Good evening, Takeyama." she tucked the trays under one arm & went over to Todoroki

"Welcome to Bakuyama (Bakugou + Takeyama) Café, please follow me." she said in an unusual calm tone as she lead him to a table "My name is Takeyama Kyoshu & I will be your waitress for today." he nods

"I know." she let out a breath

"I know you know, I just have to stay in character." he nodded at that just as she handed him a menu "What would you like, sir?" he looked at the menu

"Tea would be fine, but do you have cold soba?" her eyebrow raised

"Soba, yes, but why cold?" he set the menu down

"I like cold soba." she giggled

"Okay, it won't be long sir." with that she went off, he hummed as he watched from where he was sitting as she served others while waiting for his order, he found it quite impressive when he saw her balance one tray on her head while two others were placed one the palms of her hand

"... how unique." he murmured, he leaned in his chair as she spun over towards him with his food

"One cold soba & tea for you! Enjoy your meal~!" she goes to walk off but he just barely caught her wrist

"Sit with me, Takeyama." she looked over at the time

"You're lucky I'm now on break." she pulled out the seat across from him but sat on it so she was leaning on the back of it "So... what brings you here to this humble café?" he slurps on the noodles while looking her in the eyes "... stop staring, I beg." hearing that made him look down
