MACCHIATO [KILLER X READER]

[SUMMARY] killer drops by on one of his regular visits to the cafe, though this time he comes with a question. [PRONOUNS] gender neutral [GENRE] modern + coffee shop au [POV] second person [WORD COUNT] 1129 [CONTENT] fluff | light flirting (?) [A/N] belongs to this one shot collection

“Can I get a large macchiato with whipped cream?”

The somewhat odd order caused you to look up from your screen, a smile flashing to your lips upon spotting the man before you. “Morning, Killer! Hot or iced?”

“Hot, please. With a straw.”

You hummed and tapped on the screen. “Anything else?”

“I’m here to pick up an order, too.”

You nodded and glanced down at the notepad that sat off to the side, the list of orders needing to be picked up and their recipients’ names written in Sanji’s elegant handwriting.

Eyes narrowing you leaned down to get a better look, a slight frown tugging at your features. “I don’t see your name on here, let me go ask Sa-”

“No need, [Name]-chan!” Sanji’s boisterous voice interrupted you, drawing your attention from the paper. He had pushed his way into the coffee bar from the back, a large, pristine white box in his arms and cigarette in his mouth. “I forgot to write it down, that’s all.”

You let out a quiet sigh in relief, turning back to smile at Killer. “The regular?”

“Same as always.” He nodded. Although you couldn’t see his mouth due to the blue and white striped medical-style mask covering the lower half of his face –nor his eyes, thanks to his incredibly soft-looking and bushy blond bangs– you knew he was returning your smile. “And in return…” He swung the military-esque backpack from his back and dug around in it, eventually pulling out three bags of different kinds of pasta.

Sanji excitedly took them from him, looking at the names of the pasta before nodding with a pleased hum. “Pleasure doing business with you, as always.”

“Likewise.” Killer nodded, and Sanji hurriedly made his way back to the kitchen, probably to get started on some sort of spontaneous pasta dish you knew would be absolutely delicious.

You finalized the order and prepared it for payment, flipping the screen around for him to see the total. “Cash or card?”

“Cash.” He shouldered his bag and pulled his wallet from one of the back pockets of his jeans, leafing through it for a moment and then pulling out a wad of bills. He glanced at the screen and then stopped, hand with the money freezing over the counter. “Ah, [Name], I think you put the order in wrong. It’s showing up as less than usual.”

You tried your best to hide the playful smile that begged to be seen, and focused on writing his order on a cup. “Oh, no, I just applied the friends and family discount. No worries.”

You could sense him frown. “There’s no need for that.”

Despite your attempts, you couldn’t stop yourself from snorting in amusement. “I know, but I want to. You’re a friend, aren’t you?” You looked up from beneath your lashes and smiled, sweet and demure.

It was obvious to everyone except Killer that you’d developed some sort of feelings for the guy. Despite only working at the cafe for a little over a month, you had easily integrated yourself into the group and had gotten to know all of the regulars (and semi-irregulars, too) and began building what you would call friendships with most of them. Killer, in particular, had struck your interests, the pasta shop owner arriving every Monday and Wednesday at nine forty-five in the morning without fail to pick up a drink and sometimes his order of cannoli for the store. He and Sanji had created some sort of barter-and-trade system, with Killer supplying the fellow blond with gourmet pasta noodles in exchange for the pastries.

You’d asked Robin to make sure you were scheduled for morning shifts on Mondays and Wednesdays after figuring out the schedule, much to the teasing of your coworkers and Sanji’s heartbreak.

“Hm, I suppose so.” There was a hint of hesitancy in his voice, but you simply continued to smile and took his payment, completing the transaction and handing him back his change. He cleared his throat and shoved the bills into the tip jar. “Is it just you today?”

You chuckled and shook your head, making your way over to the espresso machine, Killer following from his side of the counter. “No, it’s just been slow today so Usopp took his lunch early. He’s in the back for another, hm, ten minutes or so.” Your eyes flickered to the front door and then throughout the cafe, pleased at the small number of customers happily enjoying their drinks and pastries at the small tables. 

“Have you taken your lunch yet?” He asked as you poured the milk into the frothing pitcher.

You shook your head and began prepping the espresso. “Not yet. I was going to take it after Usopp got back.”

“Would you…” He cleared his throat and you paused, lifting a brow as your hand hovered over the machine. “Would it be alright if I joined you for your lunch?”

Well, that you weren’t expecting.

It took a minute for his words to register, but when they did your expression shifted to the brightest and biggest smile you’ve ever conjured. “I’d love that.”

Again, despite being unable to see his expression, you knew he was smiling.

You pressed the button to pull the shot and began steaming the milk, feeling Killer’s eyes on you the whole time. Your heart fluttered rapidly in your chest, heat rushing up your neck to color your cheeks and the tips of your ears. You knew you must look like a flustered mess, but that could be considered part of your charm, right?

You topped off the drink with the requested whipped cream and popped on the lid, grabbing a straw and sliding both over to the masked man who easily managed to hold both the box of cannoli and the drink.

“Thanks, [Name].”

“Any time.” You beamed.

“I’ll, uh, wait for you at one of the tables.” He grunted, awkwardly nodding to one of the empty spots.

“Okay, I’ll head over as soon as Usopp comes back.” You rocked back on your heels, suddenly shy. “Can I get you anything to munch on, in the meantime?”

“No, that’s alright.” He shook his head. “I’m more than happy to wait.”

Another wave of heat rushed up your neck. “O- okay. Well, I’ll be over in a bit, then.”

Killer said nothing else and simply nodded, steadily making his way over to the table you knew was pushed into the farthest back corner, almost completely hidden from view from the bar.

Unable to contain your giddy smile, you went about cleaning off the steam wand and rinsing out the pitcher and shot glass used to collect the espresso, attempting to keep yourself busy until Usopp got back.

Ten minutes couldn’t go by fast enough.

You are at a cafe, you bite into an eclair/cannoli/croissant (unclear) and out spills mayonnaise, the clerk turns to you and says “don’t you love a betrayal twist”, you then see your (ex?) boyfriend down on one knee, he opens a ring box to reveal a tiny rat with an engagement ring around his neck, the rat vomits mayonnaise and the ring is cursed

If I made it in time could you please write anything with yandere Fatgum? I love him but there’s so little written for him. I’m not very original so just anything you’d be interested in writing for him. Have a great day!

I think he'd be pretty forward and flirtatious with his Darling as opposed to yanderes who spy on them and pine from afar. He's just an outgoing and extroverted guy, so shyly keeping his feelings inside all the time isn't his style.

He's always inviting them for lunch, giving them snacks, offering to show off this bakery or cafe he found nearby, etc. And he makes sure to learn their favorite kinds of food so he can "coincidentally" pick up something to bring over while he was "in the neighborhood". He also treasures every bite of food that Darling makes for him!

He uses his size as an excuse for why he's always got a hand on them or touching them. He'll just grin and explain that he's always knocking people over when he's close to them, so he does that to keep them supported/grounded...but weirdly he only has a hand on Darling's shoulder and never does it with anyone else he's around.

He'd get revealed as a yandere if Darling noticed how often he'd "coincidentally" be in their neighborhood eating somewhere, and kept inviting them out or asking if they wanted him to bring them something while he was nearby. Or maybe they'd notice how he was only ever handsy with them and didn't really flirt with other people they way he does with them.

He wouldn't panic at getting caught; if anything he's glad that he doesn't have to hide how much he loves them now, so it's a blessing in disguise. Besides, if they react poorly and try to run away, he'll just squish them against his chest until they stop struggling and calm down. Or he'll hold them down until they pass out, but he'd really rather not. He HATES the thought of hurting them, but if he can't slip something into their drink to bring them home then he has to find some other way to do it.

If he hasn't depleted all his fat, then he never wants to be on top during sex. Not only is it safer with Darling on top, but he loves looking up at them during sex and having his grabby hands on their hips. He's also got a big size kink so expect a lot of manhandling from him lol.

Has eaten Darling out for literal hours. He'll keep them on his face until they slump over from overstimulation/exhaustion and then keep on going until he's had his fill.

Regardless of Darling's size, there's the chance of them getting a slight belly bulge thanks to how much he cums and he LOOOOVES it. He'll jokingly call them pet names after sex like his "cute lil' cannoli" with all that cream inside of them, and he's also into cum play.

Has a special mess-proof tarp made for his bed so he can lay his Darling down, cover them with any kind of sauce/cream/topping he wants, and eat them up with as little cleanup to do as possible once he's done.

VERY VERY cuddly, regardless of if they're having sex or not. He's a big teddy bear. His go-to method of subduing them when they try to escape is to literally smother them while holding them close until they stop fighting and accept they can't run from him...well, that, and fucking them so thoroughly that he needs to carry them for the next day or two. Between his tongue, his fingers, and his fat cock he's more than capable of putting them out of commission for a while lol.

While Fakey and Brick munched on Uno cards, the rest of the group was getting acquainted.

Mr Stick: “So… you’re me, huh?”

Stinky: “I guess so.”

Mr Stick: “And I’m guessing by your attire, that your not a landlord like me?”

Stinky: “Yup! I’m a plumber!”

Mr Stick shuddered a little

Gustavo: “Well… I certainly wasn’t expecting this.”

The G: “What? Were you thinking I’d be some pansy pastry chef like you?”

Gustavo: “For your information, I’m a pizza chef. And I’m far from being a “pansy”, thank you very much!”

The G grumbled

Rosette: “Wow! So you make pastries too!?”

Noisette: “Yep! I even run my own cafe!”

Rosette: “That’s so cool! I just help Pizzy out with his ice cream parlour.”

The two girls laughed and giggled with one another.

Pizzelle and Noise: “I love her so much…”

Peppino: “So, Cannoli right?”

Cannoli: “Count Cannoli. And yes, that is me.”

Peppino: “Hehe…”

Cannoli: “What are chuckling about?”

Peppino: “Oh, it’s just that we both have similar last names. My full name’s Peppino Spaghetti.”

Cannoli: “Now that you mention it, that is quite funny.”

The pair chuckled

La Squadra's favourite desserts while i wait for my own pie to finish cooking!

Risotto ✂️: " Gelo alle Mandorle " it's a fresh dessert from Sicily made with almonds, almond's milk, lemon's zest and cinnamon. Extremely sweet like all sicilian desserts but so refreshing during summer, our dear Capo likes to order it from his favourite cafe whenever he comes back to his beloved Palermo. One time he ordered one to enjoy as a post mission treat, but illuso as a joke took a bite to annoy him....never mess with Risotto's dessert...

Prosciutto 🍖: " Cartoccio Siciliano" or Macallè as tradition wants are delicious fried brioches with the same form as cannoli, filled with ricotta's cream and chocolate chips. Prosciutto is very fond of this desserts cause his beloved Nonna used to make it for him before breakfast, he sheds a little tear everytime he gets the chance to eat one, as the two of them were very close.

Formaggio 🧀: " Maritozzo alla panna " it's again a pan brioche filled with a super fresh cream, dusted with sugar. Now why formaggio loves this one you may ask? Cause this little piece of heavenly sweetness was always served to future brides before their wedding ( maritozzo is like the roman endorsement for " husband " ) and little cheese man, being always the youngest cousin/nephew got to eat as much as he wanted, plus being spoiled rotten by the women of his family during this occasions.

Illuso 🔎: " Bonèt " is a typical pudding from Piemonte, and is called like this cause the stamp where this dessert gets cooked looks like a little hat ( Bonèt is in fact another way to say hat in Piemonte's dialect ) the secret of this pudding is in the liquor used to make it: the Fernet. During his high school time, Illuso got into baking to woo the girls in his " Liceo " but after some time he actually liked to de-stress by putting his purple apron on and start whisking some eggs and sugar. The Bonèt was in fact his first perfect recipe to achieve.

Melone 🍈: " Cantucci e Vinsanto " Now, NOW THIS IS PERSONAL! As a proud " Cittina Toscana " i am very invested in the desserts of my region and you can't leave Tuscany without getting at least once the Cantucci ( biscuits made with a dough similar to bread but with almonds inside ) and soak them in some good old Vinsanto ( a liquor typical of tuscany ). Melone always ate them, he doesn't even remember when he started but home to him is this: putting on an old Pieraccioni's VHS, read the newspaper and enjoy Cantucci and Vinsanto, he is THAT tuscan and is not ashamed.

Ghiaccio 🧊: " Torta Putana " being a dessert from Veneto, of course it has alcool in it and the name is very crude ( it traslates to Wh*ore Cake ) but the results won't disappoint! Being made with a couple days old bread soaked in milk, raisins, lemon and orange's zest is perfect to end a meal with sweetness; the young Ghia at first hated it but the faces of the old ladies of his neighbourhood after he yelled the name ( followed by blasphemies of course ) was even sweeter than the cake itself...

Pesci 🐟: " Struffoli" Pesci is the sweet tooth of the team, and being born and raised in Napoli of course he was familiar with tons of these honey coated bits. Pesci is the son of a baker, and he was always fascinated by the ability of his father's hands that prepared over 10 kg of it during Christmas, one time he ate too many and had to spend the whole morning at the hospital with his mother

Sugar/Spice: a Hydra Husbands AU

Or: The One Where Brock Has The Hots For a Rude Baker

“How are things?” Natasha asks.

“Not good.” Brock sighs, “Turns out the deli has been having financial problems for a while now. Nonna racked up a whole heap of debt.”

As if it wasn’t enough to lose his closest family member in the last month, his family’s legacy is in crisis. His poor Nonna's body is barely even cold in the ground and the debt collectors are already swarming.

Natasha’s eyebrows lift in surprise. “Really? She never mentioned any problems, and she was always chipper when I came by.”

“She never mentioned anything to me either.” Brock says. It hurts knowing his grandmother was suffering and never reached out. Brock chose to pursue the army instead of taking over the family business, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t drop everything if his grandmother was in trouble. Didn’t she know that?

As if reading his mind, Natasha says, “She knew she could rely on you, she was probably just too stubborn to ask. That seems to run in the family.”

Brock nods solemnly, staring into his cup of coffee.

“Your grandmother was a great woman, she helped me out a lot. It was thanks to her I was able to open the bakery.” Natasha gestures around them to the lively little cafe they now sit in. With the title R&R Bakery proudly plastered on the front of the store.

“I’d help you out, but we only opened recently so all my money is tied up in this place.” Natasha says.

“Don’t even worry about it, this is my problem, not yours.” Brock insists.

“There’s that Rumlow stubbornness.” She quips.

“Alright, enough about me. How has the bakery been doing?” Brock forcibly changes the subject.

“You tell me.” Natasha says, pushing Brock’s plate closer to him. He’s got a turkey croissant sandwich, a piping hot latte, and a Chantilly cream doughnut.

The sandwich has high quality turkey and swiss cheese, and the croissant is warm, buttery and flaky. But what really blows his mind is the doughnut. It airy and sweet and creamy.

“Oh my god...” Brock says through a mouthful of food.

“I know right?” Natasha beams with pride.

Then, it’s almost like a light bulb goes off in her mind. “I think I may have a solution to your problem.” She digs in her purse and presents a crumbled, folded flyer to Brock.

“A gingerbread house competition?” He asks skeptically.

Natasha nods. “The grand prize is $15,000. That should be enough, right?”

“Natasha, I’m a good cook but I don’t know anything about baking or desserts.” Brock can’t recall ever even making gingerbread cookies before, much less building a house out of them. Growing up the traditional Christmas treats in his house were cannolis, panettone, and candy.

“Well, lucky for you that’s where the other half of R&R Bakery comes in. You haven’t met Jack yet have you? He made everything you’re eating right now. He even selected today’s special brew.”

“I do respect a man who can make a good cup of coffee...” Brock muses.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Jack was Clint’s friend from the VA. When he retired from the marines he was looking for work as a baker. We just sort of clicked and the rest is history.” Natasha explains. She leads Brock past the service counter into a narrow hallway, and then down a half-flight of stairs.

“A marine, huh?” Brock murmurs to himself.

At the end of the stairs their is a doorway that open up to an industrial kitchen.

There’s a man working at the kitchen’s large metal table. He’s tall, and wide, with a strong jaw. The man’s biceps and pecs flex as he kneads and stretches dough on the table none too gently.

“Brock, this is Jack Rollins. Jack, this is Brock Rumlow.” Natasha introduces them.

“Hey.” Brock says, holding out his hand for a customary handshake. The man, Jack, practically glowers at his offered hand. He simply holds up his own thick hands that are caked in dough and flour.

“Oh, sorry.” Brock mutters, putting his hand down awkwardly. The man’s green eyes appraise him, but he says nothing. Simply returns to his kneading without any acknowledgement. Brock sees the noticeable scar that runs along the man’s jaw deep into his stubble but can’t help but think the man is handsome, if not rude.

“Jack was on a TV baking competition.” Natasha pipes up.

“Oh, really? Did ya win?” Brock asks eagerly.

“No.” Jack says with a glare.

“Oh...”

“He’s still pretty sore about it.” Natasha whispers. Brock now glares at her for bringing it up in the first place.

“Is there something you need?” Jack asks tersely.

“I’ve come to call in a favor.” Natasha says.

“Pretty sure I’ve squared up all my debts with you, Romanoff.”

Brock briefly wonders why this sounds like a hostage negotiation, aren’t these two supposed to be friends?

Jack stands up straight and wipes off flour onto his white apron. The man’s tight black t-shirt leaves nothing to the imagination, and Brock can’t help but stare at his physique.

This man can bake, makes a damn good cup of coffee, and is sexy as hell? That’s just not fair. Even his cold, rude demeanor can’t seem to turn Brock off. 

“What about revenge?” Natasha offers.

“Revenge?” This piques Jack’s interest noticeably.

“I know for a fact a certain someone is participating this year.”

Jack brews the thought in his head for a minute. “Alright,” Jack says “I’m in.” He extends his arm out to Brock. There’s determination, and perhaps a hint of something darker in his forest green eyes.

Brock takes it, and is puzzled feels a gross, sticky squish when their hands squeeze together.

“Oh...” Jack says sheepishly. There was still dough on his hands.

What do you think would happen if Sides’s lil girls wound up accidentally meeting Thunderhoof?

Hahaha accidentally like these little spitfires didn’t see Sunstreaker meeting with Thunderhoof discretely once or twice and deciding HEY HE WAS ASKING ABOUT US IS HE OUR UNCLE I BET HE’S AN UNCLE WE SHOULD FIND HIM AND ASK HIM YES LET’S

Imagine Thunderhoof’s absolute bafflement when his men are like “Uh boss, you got visitors” and he’s like “Who tf thinks they can just get the jump on me without a fucking appointment” and these two nine-year-olds waltz in.

Thunderhoof has respectively stayed away from Sergio and Stella’s family since he’s 100% sure Stella wouldn’t want her daughters to be associated with the life he leads (understandable!), so he’s both alarmed and secretly delighted that these little goblins had the insight and gumption to actually track him down.

He has a little chat with them over coffee, milk tea and cannolis at his favorite dessert spot before he calls Sideswipe/Stella on the situation and tells them the cafe to pick the girls up from.

And all the adults have a serious conversation about where things go from now, since the cat’s out of the bag and the girls want Thunderhoof in their lives (TWO COOL UNCLES!!).
