the red-and-white-haired boy stared inquisitively at her, internally questioning whether she was an idiot, didn't like heroes, not media-aware, or combination of the choices. being the observant person that he was, he could tell that she was being truthful in her question.

she also was starting to get nervous judging by the slight twitching of her fingers and the way she stared unblinking at him.

he deduced that she was either scared that he had stolen this from his father, or that he had stolen it from the number 2 hero, endeavor.

either way, it wasn't looking that good for him.

covering his mouth with his fist, his eyes focused on the small amount of coins in the donation can beside the stack of paper napkins and condiments.

"technically, it's my father's card so it's not stealing."

her head tilted in bafflement, but she decided not to push it and processed his order without another word. giving her a nod in thanks as she handed back the credit card with a half-amused smile, he made his way over to one of the barstools that 'akatori' provided for dining.

fiddling with his collar, he loosened his tie and ran his fingers through his hair, taking it out of its pushed back state and into a more relaxed form. sighing, he stared at the back of the [h/c]-nette girl who served him.

if he were to say that he wasn't shocked at who served him, he would be lying. the last time he visited this place was 4 months ago when he decided to bail out on his father's holiday party, and back then, it was an elderly lady who had served him.

she was very kind to him as well, and used to pinch his cheeks all the time. although it was annoying, it did get him extra brownie points and from time to time, the old lady would sneak in a little bit more meat into his bowl.

who was he to refuse free food?

so to say the least, it was a surprise to see that a girl who was no older than 14 with [e/c] eyes serving him at 5 minutes to 2 in the morning. he didn't think anyone at his age would be that desperate to get the graveyard shift at a restaurant like 'akatori'.

not that he wanted to pry.

or that he particularly cared.

wow, way to sound like an a-grade douche.

but to be honest, there wasn't really any reason for him to care since he'll rarely see her again anyways.

resting his head on his arms, he pondered over the events of the day with a slight touch of disgust and resent.

his father had brought him along to one of his elite socialist gatherings, and a girl who was the daughter of a moderately wealthy hero support company was getting too clingy for his tastes. she was also quite the brat, which made matters worse.

todoroki was glad when he found the perfect opportunity to slip out of the party, pickpocketing his dad's credit card from his wallet a couple minutes after they had exited their limo. he had walked all the way to 'akatori', the small noodle house that decided they wanted to be a 24-hour restaurant.

he found that even if he spent money using his extra credit cards, his father didn't notice the charge, so each time he ended up at 'akatori' again, he tried seeing how far he could push it.

so far, this was the biggest spend he's ever done.

he was seriously doubting that his father would notice anything else if this wouldn't catch his eye.

suddenly, the ambient noises coming from the kitchen that had been at a steady volume for the past half hour grew in crescendo. he lifted his head to see what was happening, but from his position at the bar, he couldn't clearly see anything other than the faint silhouettes of the pans hanging in front of the blinds.

thud. thud. crash. stomp. bang. thud.

then everything went deathly quiet.
