Work Text:
“Thank you, come again!”
You placed the cash from the purchase into the cash register and sat back down in your stool. The open sign that hung on the door swung from side to side as the rain poured down and the wind blew.
‘I wonder if the rain will prevent him from coming by today’ you thought to yourself.
Every Friday evening for the past 7 months, he’d come in and place a big order of sweets to enjoy during the weekend but with how late it was getting and how bad the weather was becoming, you were sure he wouldn’t show.
Just as you went to get ready to close you heard a sound.
TWEET
That all familiar whistling tune made your ears perk up and you immediately looked up to face the door. In he walked. Your favorite pro hero, FatGum,
Today was the day you were going to ask him out.
“Sorry I’m late Y/N! I was so busy training with Sun Eater that I almost forgot to come by.”
“Oh it’s fine, I’ll go get your sweets!” you exclaimed as you hopped to the kitchen.
‘I can’t do this...he’s too hot’ you groaned to yourself in an unmotivated tone. After several minutes of trying to talk yourself through it, you finally emerged from the kitchen with a basket.
“Ahh! It smells amazing!”
“I’m glad, it took me all night to bake these.”
You shakily placed the basket in his hands and he took it with a smile.
‘Ask him! Ask him! Ask him!’
That same line repeatedly played in your mind. It was almost too much to bear. You wanted to just come out with it but the whole situation was extremely intimidating.
“Well thanks then Y/N” he said as he patted your head with his huge hands. “I’ll be off now!”
Every step he took towards the door filled you with dread. Stalling him a bit longer was your main objective. You shakily mouthed random words until a sound finally came out.
“Wait Fatgum don’t go”
“Hm?” he responded, turning back to face you.
“We have a new um limited edition cake! Wouldn’t you like to try it?”
His bright eyes widened at the offer. Anything involving sweets, he was down for.
“Of course!”
You went to the kitchen and pulled the premade cake out of the fridge. The floor below you was blurry to you due to excitement. Your heightened emotions caused you to trip and fall….with the cake in hand.
“Y/N ARE YOU ALRIGHT?” FatGum asked as he rushed to your side.
“Not mentally at the moment, no.”
You laid in the smashed mess for a few seconds out of embarrassment. This whole plan was a failure and he probably thought you were just a clumsy fool.
As you wallowed in your own disappointment and sorrow you felt a warm hand cradle and lift your face upwards. Even though there was cake in your hair and all over your face, he couldn’t help but blush at how cute you were.
His soft finger drug across your lip, wiping off the residue from the cake.
“Let me help you clean that up” he said as he leaned in to suck the remains off of your lips.
A shock of electricity shot through your veins at the sudden intrusion of his tongue. The sweet flavor of red bean paste on his tongue deeply satiated your sweet tooth. You couldn’t believe that he was actually kissing you.
“The cake is sweet but you’re even sweeter” he laughed once he pulled away.
A blank but amazed look took over your face.
“Sorry, did I go too far Y/N?” he asked nervously scratching the back of his neck.
“NO! No, actually I’ve been wanting to do that for a while now.”
He shone his signature big smile as he guided you to your feet.
“Wait really?”
“Yeah, I planned on asking you out today but I got nervous and you started leaving and-”
Another kiss was planted on your lips to stop your rambling.
“I also came here with that same agenda in mind. The real reason I was so late was because I was afraid you’d reject me.”
The pro hero FatGum really thought that YOU, an average looking underpaid baker would reject him? This was actually quite hilarious.
“So then...are we...y’know?”
“Of course, if that’s okay with you I mean.”
You vigorously shook your head and he pulled you in for a tight hug. There was a moment of silence before you let out a strained sigh.
“What’s wrong Y/N? Am I hugging you too hard?”
“No it’s not that. The cake, it was the only one made and it was actually supposed to be shipped out to someone else in the morning.”
“You really went out the way to use someone else’s order to woo me huh? Cute.” he chuckled as he pinched your cheeks. “But can’t you just remake it?”
“I mean I could but it won’t be done in time. Usually there are two people working on it at once.”
“I could help!”
A light of excitement filled your eyes as you made eye contact with him.
“Really?!”
“Of course!
“Great! Come come!” you yelled, dragging him into the kitchen.
After about 7 hours the two of you were finally done prepping and the only thing left to do was let it cook in the oven.
“Promise you won’t tell the boss I let you see the recipe.”
“Promise”
