Had Some Quick Thoughts W Toji And A Barista!reader Who Works At A Popular Spot In Tokyo

➛ had some quick thoughts w toji and a barista!reader who works at a popular spot in tokyo

the first time you meet him, he’s getting his coffee paid for by a woman who looks a few years older than him. she exudes an aura of utter luxury, from her neatly painted nails to her leather purse.

he orders a coffee, black, giving you a glance, and that’s about it.

you don’t think much about the exchange, not really. so many customers come in to grab coffee, so another face isn’t a big deal.

yet, you start to notice him more and more. sometimes he comes in every week, maybe every other week, or a couple times a day- you never know. those deep green eyes and that rugged scar over his lip start to stand out to you, along with the company he brings in.

there seems to be a new woman with him each time. some are older, some are younger. they’re of all shapes and sizes, each with their own quirks.

and? they pay for him each time, without fail. you don’t even know his name, as his (what you assume to be) dates use their names for orders.

he starts to recognize you, too. his eyes pick up on something new each time, whether it be your new uniform or the stickers on your name tag. he comes when you’ve just opened, comes when you’re about to clock out.

when his dates happen to be particularly rude or fussy, he gives you a look that says “don’t ask.”

it gets to a point where you put in his order before he even reaches the front of the line.

you unknowingly become somewhat of a constant in his tumultuous life, and he doesn’t know if he likes it or not.

then, one day he comes in all by himself.

your fingers tap tap tap on your tablet, putting in an order for a single black coffee. there’s an awkward sort of tension as he stands before you, like you’re a stranger and acquaintance at the same time.

“hey,” he greets, picking up on how you look behind him, seeing if he’s brought in another woman. “just me today.”

you nod, pretending to start his order as if it’s not already inputted. “oh, okay! and to drink?”

a smirk grows on his face, a spark of challenge, of interest, in his eyes that you didn’t see with any other of the women he’s came in with. “you already know,” he speaks, confident.

ignoring how your cheeks warm, you smile and get out a laugh, looking away. “black coffee, got it,” you respond, thinking to yourself that this is the most you’ve spoken to him. “anything else?”

he clears his throat, reaching for a wad of cash tucked away in his pocket. “yeah,” comes his voice, deep, almost a rumble, a smidge of reluctance. “whatever ya want. y’er off in a few, aren’t ya? i was thinkin’ we could grab a table. talk.”

and maybe it’s your curiosity. or maybe you’re flattered by the fact that he’s actually paying for your coffee.

either way, you give him a smile and put in your order. “yeah, i’m just about done,” you reply, starting to feel excited for your chat with him. “and the name for the order?”

he’s pleased, a glimmer of satisfaction in his gaze as he hands you a few bills. “toji.”

Oh don’t worry

I clipped the part you actually wanted

god willing, they will B)

Zoro stans are already so fucking annoying can you imagine if Zoro ever got an actual arc focused on him?

Uhhhh not to brag but I got mentioned B)

WHO DEALT WITH IT ONE-HANDED? SHANKS.

I love all these comments, so I've pulled them out of the notes just for you. This is Monday night gold:

#gotta be Shanks #even with 2 arms he was skilled #he could also use his teeth #used to use the phrase "i can do it with one arm tied behind my back" and ate his words #he still uses it tho to brag about that skilled mouf #im rambling

Shanks could do it with his eyes closed and I'll stand on that.

#SHANKS IS THE ONLY RIGHT ANSWER #he can probably conqueres haki your bra off #man is just too powerful

#shanks definitely!!!!!!

SHANKKKSSSSSSSSS... forr sureeeee, that daddy knowssss !!!

#LMFA0000000 very deserved shanks sweep

Shanks is a smooth man who oozes charisma and the promise of either passionate heat or slutty filth...both which require a certain amount of talent. He's hand practice with both hands but losing his arm only gave him more confidence! He'd be so fuckin smug about it too. Especially when it's the first time after losing the arm. He doesn't have anything to prove because he's sure of himself regardless. But when you reach back to help him.. He makes a show of simply one hand stripping you of it in three seconds and lets you know "I DONT need your help. I can take care of you"... all in all...he's good because he's Shanks and he's a smooth son of bastard!

THE OTHER BOYS
