Tokyo revengers as customers I get at my café
Heya! sorry I've been so inactive lately! I've had to switch my major and on top of that it's finals and I got WAY more hours at work. It's been chaotic as fuck, but I'm surviving... sorta.
No one really asked for this, but I thought it'd be fun.
Sano Manjiro "Mikey"
He's the one who orders the same thing religiously
Whenever he comes in everyone know who it is
Everyone's happy to see him too! They also get really worried if he disappears for a long time
He's also the type to tease newbies. if he doesn't recognize you he'll have his little bit of fun.
"Hey, Mikey! How are you doing today?" you smiled as you stood in front of the counter. "I'm great! How've you been?" he beamed as he looked down at you. "I'm great! where have you been recently? I haven't seen you in forever" you questioned as you pouted though it was hidden by your mask. "Oh I was busy with my gang haha. I might've been in the hospital..." he trailed off. "What?! Are you alright oh my god!" you gasped.
"It's fine I promise. I'm a lot better now." he beamed. "Well that's good." you smiled "Well either way I'll be getting my usual" he finished. "Don't worry, it's on me" you replied as you entered his order into the system and paid for it before he could protest, though that didn't stop him from giving you a nice tip afterwards.
Ryuguji Ken
Yet another one who orders the same thing every time
Every so often he'll come in with Emma
Emma is the type of girl who gets the most extra drinks period, but her personality makes up for it.
Everyone is praying he doesn't go through the drive through with her because it might take a bit
He is also a regular who comes in to do homework because the atmosphere helps him focus.
"Oh hey welcome to Tokyo topic café~ Oh Draken! How've you been?" you asked as he walked up to the counter. "Hey (y/n). It's pretty good. Busy though" he sighed. "Did you come by to do some studying?" you asked as you put his order in the system. "Well yes and no... I have a study date with Emma" he blushed. "oooooh good luck!" you beamed as you gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks" he replied as he put his credit card into the slot before sitting down at his usual table overlooking the café from the balcony as he waited for Emma.
The girl in question soon came in and Draken greeted her with a hello before walking up with her to your register to pay for her drink, though she was the one who tipped you since she knew her drink was a bit of a hassle during the after school rush.
Mitsuya Takashi
This man has the biggest orders ever 😢
Ok but literally the other day I had a 60 dollar order in the drive thru
It's like that... but worse
yanno he's the one friend that was originally just going for himself and then Hakkai found out and asked if he wanted anything and then everyone else joined in
However every so often he'll just come in with his sisters and they're so sweet it just melts your heart❤
"Hey welcome in!" you called as you noticed a customer walking into the café with 2 children at his side. You hurriedly finished the order you were working on and handed it to your co-worker at the drive thru before turning to find Mitsuya with Mana and Luna standing in front of the pastry case.
"Oh Mitsuya! Did you come in for the gang?" you asked as you worried glanced at the racks filled with pastries next to you to make sure you had everything. "no, don't worry" he chuckled. "today I actually came with my sisters" he smiled as Luna smiled at you while Mana hid behind her brother's leg. "Aw hello! What can I get for you guys today?" you asked softly. "Can I please have the reindeer cake pop?" she asked. "Oh of course!" you smiled "and Mana wants the cookie dough one" "Perfect~ What else can I get for you guys?' you asked. "I'll get the venti vanilla sweet cream cold brew" he replied "and 2 double chocolate chip frappuccino" he replied. "Alrighty that total is going to beeeee 13.42" you beamed as he paid. "By the way, you're really pretty" Luna smiled. "Don't you think so, nii-chan?" she smiled, making him blush, but also chuckle at his sister's statement. "yeah" he replied as he then sat down at a table big enough for them as they waited for their food.
Naoto Tachibana
The most caffeinated customer award goes to this man right here
He's even more caffeinated than the baristas which says a lot
Sometimes with the amount of coffee he drinks you wonder how he's still alive??? (It's ok I wonder that about myself all the time)
Somehow still really tired even with the amount of coffee he drinks and honestly me too
Naoto will also be the type of guy to come in right before closing tp quickly grab a coffee and food before going back to work on his case.
"thank god... 5 minutes until close. I cannot wait to go home" you sighed as you stretched, thinking about all the things you had to do once you got home. However your thoughts were quickly interrupted by a very tired looking handsome man walking through the door
"Hey welcome to Tokyo Topic. How are you doin' today?" you asked, giving the man your usual greeting. "Tired. Can I get a nitro cold brew, grande, with 3 blonde shots?" he asked, making your eyes slightly at the amount of caffeine he was about to have this late at night, though you weren't about to question it. "Actually you know what make it 4... tonight's going to be a long one" he sighed. "A-Alright that total 's gonna be 8.69" you stammered as he pulled out his credit card and paid for his drink.
Upon seeing the drink one of your co-workers gave you a look that screamed 'what the fuck is this guy on?' though you could only shrug and continue to clean while they made the drink. "thank you so much" he yawned "hm? for what?' you asked. "I know you guys are about to close" he sighed. "No it's alright!" you shook your head. "Promise?" he asked. "Promise" you smiled brightly before handing him his drink. "Thank you" he smiled again before walking out into the cold night with his drink.
Kazutora Hanemiya
He's the co-worker who always comes in even on their off days to get coffee because they're too de-caffeinated to function properly
Ok, but I headcannon this man works part time every so often at a coffee shop in order to get some money because it pays fairly well and you get coffee for free. that's a win win in my book
You're always like "Why are you here??? it's your off day,,,, leave" jokingly of course
He always does a lot of work there in the café like draken
Either way it's always a joy to see a friendly face and he appreciates the
"damn it's so slow today" you muttered to yourself as you looked out at the lonely cafe in front of you as rain poured down onto the roof of the building. "well it's not like I don't enjoy days like this" you smiled as you looked out the window of the drive thru, allowing your mind to wander.
'However you were suddenly pulled out of your thoughts by someone calling your name. "Sorry! I- what the fuck are you doing here? it's your off day" you muttered, making Kazutora crack that award winning smile you adored. "I wanted to get away from home to study. Is that so wrong?" he chuckled. "Yes, now leave" you teased, making him let out another chuckle. "I'll take a brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso" he smiled. "What size? you asked, making him give you a deadpan look. "What do you think?" "Tall." you smirked "I actually hate you" he teased, as he saw you ring up his venti. "Alright that total is 6 dollars and 66 cents" you teased. "ooooo my favorite" he rolled his eyes before sitting in his usual spot where he'd take his breaks. In a short few minutes his drink was called, though it wasn't under the name he was exactly expecting. "Order for Banana boy!" you called, making him burst out laughing. "I fucking hate you" he laughed as he took a sip of his drink, still giggling as he sat down.
A/N: Thank you so much for your constant support and I really hope you enjoyed this as much as I did ❤❤❤

To your relief, the last two classes were Rafael free. However, that third week was the big court cases final argument finals.
To make it extra stressful, your professor had gotten permission to use a real live courtroom for you all to present your cases. And not only that, filled the gallery with judiciary members, and to your absolute horror that included the SVU squad.
When you walked into the courtroom, you were already panicking with all the spectators. But seeing the panelists standing up front, including Rafael with a smug smile, your palms began to sweat. You and Josh exchanged worried glances, but held hands and stayed strong together. You glanced over to the gallery to see Ariel giving you a thumbs up. What the…?
“What is Ariel doing here?” You whispered to Josh. “I thought only law students were allowed in here,”
“Oh I asked her to be here,” Josh smiled, waving at Ariel.
“Why…?” You gave him a confused look.
“Uh, for you obviously,” He nervously smiled. “I wanted you to have a friendly face in the audience, y’know besides me,”
“That’s really sweet babe,” You nuzzled his neck. “How’d she manage it though?”
“I’m pretty sure she paid off one of the guards,” He chuckled.
“Figures,” You rolled your eyes.
You took your seats with the rest of the class on one side of the gallery, awaiting your turns. It made you sick to your stomach to see just how happy Rafael was, why was he in such a good mood?
“Look at him, he’s such a smug bastard,” Josh whispered.
“I know right?” You scoffed back, glaring right at Rafael. But his smile didn’t dissipate, it only grew bigger. What the hell was happening?
Soon the courtroom was completely full, buzzing with conversation. Until a guard started clapping his hands to get everyone’s attention.
“Attention, the honorable Judge Walker,”
A very old, very mean looking judge came walking from his chambers and settled into his seat. Great, another thing to panic about.
“Attention, Attention, thank you all for coming today. I am very excited to see the fresh young minds of law at work, but first--” He paused and looked down at the panelists.
“Mr. Barba has asked to make an announcement to the court,”
Wait, what? What was happening? You looked at Ariel with panic, Josh squeezed your hand harder as you gave him a very worried look. You looked at Olivia, who looked uncomfortable. She didn’t know what was going on, that couldn’t be good.
“Ahem,” Rafael adjusted his jacket as he got ready to address the court.
“Ladies and gentleman; as the students here are aware, I’ve been sitting in on their classes for the last few weeks so that I could get a better, well rounded assessment of each one of them so I could go into these ‘trials’ with an idea of who I wanted to work with this summer,” He looked around at each and everyone in the court, except for you and Josh. Of course.
“...But, unfortunately, those evaluations are going to have to suffice as a suggestion to my colleagues here. As I am recusing myself from the proceedings today,”
The court began buzzing with even more conversation, you looked at Ariel who had the same stunned and confused look on her face. You glanced at the SVU squad who looked concerned. Seriously, what was happening? You looked at Josh, he was completely lost and-- worried?
“Babe...are you ok?” You whispered.
He looked at you, not being able to speak. Okay did HE have an idea what was going on?
“Order, Order!!!” The judge banged his gavel. Then he addressed Rafael: “Mr. Barba, why exactly are you recusing yourself?”
Rafael took a deep breath as he looked at the floor. After a pause, he looked back up to the court.
“Because, I could not in good conscience cast a vote when I have a conflict of interest,” He answered, the smile crossing across his face once again.
Your heart started pounding, your breath quickened. Everything went fuzzy and it suddenly felt like you were underwater.
“...And what exactly would that be?” The judge raised an eyebrow.
Your palms began to sweat, you wanted so badly to look at Ariel but you literally could not move. You couldn’t tell if Josh was still holding your hand because your whole body was numb.
Everyone in the courtroom watched Rafael with bated breath, nobody spoke, nobody breathed. Rafael finally fixed his sights right on you:
“...Because I am in love with one of the candidates,” He said with the same huge smile he had since you walked in.
Your heart COMPLETELY stopped, along with your breath. You desperately made pleadings with any higher power that you would NOT pass out in this courtroom in front of every person you admire and knew in your entire academic career.
“Oh my God…” You heard Josh mutter. Oh God, Josh. He was probably crushed right now, so humiliated. You couldn’t even look at him, all you could do was stare at Rafael. He was still beaming at you, so proud of himself. It would be extremely annoying if he hadn’t just announced to an entire room full of his colleagues that he was IN LOVE WITH YOU.
You felt yourself begin to breathe, your heartbeat began to beat, but now it was pounding out of your chest. Wait, he didn’t actually say your name. Yet…?
“Order, Order!” The judge banged his gavel once again, and you finally noticed during your little black out the entire room had erupted into even more chatter.
“Mr. Barba, you really could have just told your colleagues here your reason, there’s no need for this showboating,” He told Rafael in a very annoyed tone.
“Yes your honor, I understand,” He nodded. “But I wanted Miss Y/N to know that I am NOT ashamed of her,” Rafael looked at you once again, his smile still plastered on his face.
You couldn’t help but smile back, you were absolutely floored. Any thoughts of how Josh, Ariel, or even Olivia were reacting were out of your mind. Any panic that you wouldn’t be able to present your case now was a million miles away, all you could see was Rafael, the man who was in love with you.
“...Great. Well, I’m glad you and Miss Y/N are happy, but if you don’t mind I’d like to continue our proceedings,” He tried to speak over the crowd. “Alright maybe we need a brief recess,” He sighed, looking at Rafael exasperated. “Barba, really?”
“I’m sorry Mike, It’s a whole thing,” Rafael gave him an apologetic smile.
“Mike” The Judge, banged his gavel once again. “A 15 minute recess and then we’ll begin,”
Rafael took this moment to immediately run to you, you met him halfway. You wanted so desperately to just kiss him right there, but you were still technically in class. Even you knew you needed to stay professional right now.
“I...You...You…” You couldn’t stop smiling.
“I know,” He took your hands. “I am so sorry I left you the other night, but I knew after everything I put you through-- I needed to go big,” He gestured to the courtroom.
“I...Y-You…” Your head was reeling, thinking back to the last night you saw him. You thought for sure that it was absolutely over, and this whole time he had this huge display of an act of true love planned out.
“I love you, Y/N,” He stroked your face. “I love you and I want everyone to know it,” He stared at your lips, you knew you were both thinking the exact same thing.
“Screw it…” You grabbed his hand and pulled Rafael outside into the lobby of the courthouse. Before he could register what was happening, you grabbed him in a deep, passionate kiss. He kissed you back deeply, even more passionate than he had in his office.
“And that was…?” He gave you a weird smile.
“Well, you already announced ‘us’, I didn’t think they needed a free show on top of it,” You bit your lip with a smile.
“It probably wouldn’t have thrilled Josh,” He nodded towards the courtroom.
Crap. Josh. Your face fell, you stared back into the courtroom. As if summoned by the mention of his name, Josh came walking out of the courtroom, quickly trailed by Ariel.
“Oh God…” You muttered. Rafael took your hand gently, letting you know he was there for you. You gave him a small smile as Josh and Ariel approached you.
“Josh…” You started to talk, but Josh put a hand up.
“Wait, Y/N. Before you say anything, I need to say something,” He looked back at Ariel, who walked up next to him. You looked at Rafael with a quizzical look, he returned the look.
“The truth is, Ariel and I--” He looked at Ariel, who looked guilty. “We’ve been...spending time together,”
“What?!” You looked between the two of them, shocked.
“Nothing ever happened,” Josh put up his hands. “It was just as friends,”
“Technically,” Ariel added with a smile.
“Wow,” You muttered.
“Well that’s great news,” Rafael chimed in. “I’m very happy for you, Ariel. Josh seems like a great guy,”
“....Really?” You, Ariel AND Josh asked at the same time, in scary unison.
“Really,” He nodded. “Why do you think I hated him so much?” He looked at Josh. “In fact, I recommended you for the internship,”
“Really?” Josh’s eyes brightened. “I never thought--”
“You were a formidable opponent, sir,” Rafael held out a hand.
“Yeah well,” Josh took his hand and shook it. “I suppose you can’t really stop true love,” He nodded at you.
“Gag,” Ariel made a gagging sound, making Josh hit her. “Quiet you, or I’m going to tell you I love you,”
“Oh please don’t,” She hit him playfully. “I’ll throw up on you,”
“Oh I’ll--” He grabbed her and kissed her.
“....And I don’t think we need to be here for this,” You pulled Rafael away. You both looked at each other in absolute confusement, then both busted out laughing.
“I...I can’t even…” You gestured to your best friend and now ex boyfriend kissing in front of you and your...new boyfriend?
All of a sudden, Olivia came storming out of the courtroom.
“Here we go…” Rafael muttered softly. You began to get worried; this was the real test.
“Rafael...what do you think you’re doing?!” She cried angrily.
“Ah, Olivia,” Rafael ignored her tone. “Have you met my girlfriend, Y/N?”
He said it. He called you his girlfriend. In public. To OLIVIA BENSON.
“You…” She glanced between the two of you, you gave her a triumphant smile. “This will ruin your career,” She addressed Rafael.
“I’ll take that risk,” He took your hand, you laid your head on his shoulder. You were a united front.
“....Whatever,” She brushed both of you off and stomped back into the courtroom.
“I can’t-- You just--” You looked to where Olivia had stormed off, back to him with the smile that you decided was a permanent attribute of your face now.
“I did,” He nodded, reading your mind.
“Court will resume in one minute!” A guard came out and announced. Josh and Ariel nodded to you and Rafael as they walked back inside hand in hand.
“So…” You turned to Rafael with your excited grin. “You gonna stick around?”
“Are you kidding?” He put a thumb on your chin. “I wanna see you in action,”
“Oh God,” You bit your lip. “As if I wasn’t nervous enough,”
“Baby I’ll be right there, cheering you on,” He kissed your forehead. “Forever,”
--------------
In the end, Josh got the internship, like everyone knew he would. But you got something even better, you got the love of your life, and Ariel got herself an ACTUAL Josh.
At the end of the day, it turned out you weren’t totally clueless.
(again let's pretend the Raul kiss is the reader. )
