charlotte estava correndo à toda velocidade pela avenida em direção ao house of devil, desviando de irregularidades da calçada, carruagens errantes, pedestres parados no meio do caminho, entre outras turbulências que apareciam. enquanto isso, pensava se não tinha errado no pedido do café de cruella... como era mesmo? grãos torrados no ponto de caramelização com creme de leite fresco, não ultrapassando os 10% de gordura, espumado suavemente, com duas colheres de chá de cacau-fino, uma pitada de cardamomo moído, uma fina raspagem de casca de laranja, uma colher de chá de mel silvestre, essência de flor de laranjeira e um pouquinho de noz-moscada recém-ralada. é, era isso! estava certo! pela primeira vez na semana, estava totalmente certa e segura de que o café estava perfeito. sua chefe iria provar, veria que não tinha erro algum, e não iria chamá-la de idio--- E BANG! encontrou com um outro apressado. a labouff só sentiu o calorzinho do café no seu colo para sua animação toda morrer. afastou a outra pessoa com um leve empurrão antes de colocar as mãos na cabeça e começar a surtar: ❝ EU NÃO ACREDITO NISSO! DE ONDE É QUE VOCÊ SURGIU? ❞ a grosseria, tão atípica de sua personalidade, foi aos poucos esmaecendo ao perceber que fazia caso de algo que nem era tão grande coisa assim. quando o outro agachou e recolheu as suas coisas, se desculpando, viu que sua explosão foi despropositada. mas ainda estava chateada. ao olhar para o lado, recolhendo sua bolsa e as outras coisas da mão do transeunte, reparou em muse assistindo a cena. ❝ tá olhando o quê, hein? perdeu alguma coisa aqui? ❞

The meet-cute: Tiana x Nanami
Heyyy guys so this is the Tanami fic LMFAOOO. Uhhh this fic was written for a close friend that loves jjk. Gab on top fr!!! I don't know much about jjk but I will try my best!! I hope you guys like it!!
Tiana spent most, if not all, of her days working at Duke's Cafe. It was all to achieve her and her dad's dream, to buy that old sugar mill and make a restaurant. Tiana was well known across the city for her 'man catching' beignets, as Charlotte puts it. So well known, in fact, that she even started getting customers from outside New Orleans.
That includes Nanami, who adores sweets. He heard about a specific little cafe that sells amazing beignets, from a coworker who went on vacation.
What even is a beignet? New Orleans sounds like a nice trip, though.... Nanami thought to himself.
Unfortunately for Nanami, he unknowingly made the trip during Mardi Gras.
The bustling streets, bright colors, cars and floats and train cars passing through large crowds of partying people in the humid southern city was definitely not what Kento Nanami was prepared for.
Tiana is working hard on a Mardi Gras noon in Duke’s Cafe. She’s mainly focused on her work and juggling her tables’ orders when she notices a tall blonde man walk in and take off his glasses, waiting to be sat.
“Just sit anywhere and I’ll be right there with you, sir!” Tiana calls out as she carries a mountain of plates on her.
Suddenly Charlotte squeals and bursts into the soft atmosphere with sparkling excitement, clutching a newspaper and bouncing into a booth. Mr. LaBouff cheerily greets Tiana and sits down across from his estatic daughter.
"Tia! Tia! You'll never believe it!-" Charlotte starts with her excited rambling. Tiana listens as she walks toward the table Nanami is sitting at, serving him some coffee.
Nanami looks at his cup of coffee and the beautiful woman who served him, flowing through her work unbothered by the noise around her. She didn’t actually take his order, but he was going to ask for coffee anyway. Additionally, Nanami saw that the (mostly) graceful waitress was already working hard and decided not to make a problem of it.
Eventually Tiana did get to Nanami's table to take his order. Nanami didn't mind the wait, enjoying the atmosphere of the homey and friendly cafe.
"I'm so sorry sir, did you want to order anything?" Tiana hugged her notepad close to her apron, worried and intimidated by the stoic man.
Nanami notices Tiana's nervousness and puts on a soft smile to ease her stress, "I'll have an order of beignets, I heard they're very famous."
The pretty brown-skinned waitress smiled back at Nanami, causing him to blush just a little.
"They sure are. I'll make sure to get them to you right quick, sir!" Tiana's worries of a rude customer washed away.
My god this man is fiiine... Tiana thought to herself while striding away to tend to her other customers, a smirk coming across her face once she was out of Nanami's sight. This customer had a chiseled face and a stoic expression, making him look like a hot actor Tiana can't exactly put a name on. Nanami’s suit and sophisticated, tiny glasses made him look very elegant compared to the other customers in casual clothes; with the exception of Miss pink over there… (Charlotte)
Nanami's eyes follow Tiana as she talks to Charlotte, admiring the working girl. Tiana laughs for a moment after trading a few quick jokes with her, then goes off to serve other tables. Once the pretty waitress is done with that, Nanami sees Tiana walk over to the bakery section of the counter.
Tiana is in a flow now, taking out the warm, fluffy beignets that were in a warmer out onto the counter. Then she gets her two final ingredients. She swoops the honey onto the beignets as if she was waving a magic wand, then spins the whole tray and dances a little while topping the beignets with powdered sugar. Boom. Done. Tiana smirks while looking at her creation that smells so good.
Nanami watched all of this from his table, seeing how other customers are also looking at the beignets with anticipation.
She is really beautiful…. Nanami throught to himself as he tried to peel his eyes away from her in vain. A few of her tight black curls have fallen out of her messy ponytail, the collar of her dress was uneven and disheveled, and her dark brown skin glistened with a light sweat she was putting up; nonetheless, it’s undeniable how beautiful Tiana is. Nanami hides his expression—he hides it well—and looks at his newspaper to distract himself, but before he knew it, he was served his beignets! Unfortunately, Tiana was busy and a bus boy helped her out, so Nanami couldn’t speak to her again.
Nanami smiles with contentment as he takes a sip of his coffee before trying the beignets for the first time. He overheard the pink, princess-like lady growl about how the beignets were ‘man catching’, and he snickers a little.
If they do draw men in…I’m in for a long ride.. Nanami thinks to himself as he takes the first bite. His stoicness prevents him from making any real reaction, but in his head he is dancing, singing Wonder Girls, moaning, and in utter bliss over the amazing and fluffy taste of the beignets. Before he knows it one of the beignets were already eaten by him.
Fuck…I’m in love.. Nanami sighs and looks at Tiana, the woman who made these beignets. He even starts to drool a little before shaking his head to catch his composure.
After Tiana's shift Nanami decides to be bold and approach her. Tiana takes off her work apron and rubs her temples as she sees the blond hunk that she served start to approach her, getting a little anxious and giddy at the same time.
Oh my god he's tall, what does he want? Is he mad? Is he happy? Oh my god he's actually approaching me...hey sexy, my god.. Tiana's mind raced and geeked, like any girl would.
"..May I help you with something, sir?" Tiana asked while taking in the sight of the tall man.
Nanami builds up his confidence in his head and takes off his glasses, looking Tiana in the eye. "Excuse me, miss, but are you single?"
Tiana's lips curl into a smile, her dark complexion develops a pink blush across her face, and she tucks in a loose curl behind her ear. She looks up at Nanami before she answers his question.
