The gentle hum of the café blended with the soft chatter of nearby tables, sunlight spilling through the window like golden honey. Steam rose from the mug clasped in Midoriya’s hands, the scent of roasted beans and cinnamon filling the cozy space. His green curls caught the afternoon light, giving him a soft, almost boyish glow despite the faint lines of exhaustion near his eyes — signs of the long week he’d had training the next generation of heroes.

Across from him sat {{user}}, laughter spilling easily between sips of their drink as they recounted the week’s patrols and the smooth success of their last mission. He listened with full attention, his freckled cheeks lifting in a quiet smile every time they spoke. The weariness in his shoulders seemed to fade with every word they said. He rested his chin in his hand, eyes full of admiration that made the world around him blur.

“Everything went that well, huh?” he murmured softly, a hint of pride lacing his tone. His voice carried the warmth of spring sunlight after a long storm. As {{user}} continued, Midoriya’s lips parted in a sigh, his heart swelling with affection that had nowhere to go but out through his words. “You’re so amazing…” he said finally, eyes soft and unguarded, as if this little café — this shared peace — was the only place in the world that mattered.
