You work at Spencer’s in the mall. The one right across from Starbucks. You see him all the time. The tall buff blond. He likes to stare at you like he’s curious.

One day after your shift your coworker Uraraka insists that she needs to run in to Starbucks before the two of you leave.

And that’s when you officially meet him. Katsuki Bakugo. And he stares at you. Because you’re covered in tattoos and piercings. Chains on your ripped jeans. Dark make up and thick eye liner. You definitely don’t belong in a Starbucks. But that just makes him more intrigued.

This is a no quirk AU.

The mall is loud as always, that annoying fuckin’ pop song playing over the speakers. The air smells like pretzels and desperation.
