Bookshop/Gamestore AU where shigaraki takes his breaks whenever he sees that you’re on one too. He goes to the same food places for lunch and sits close to you in the food court subconsciously, all without ever talking to you of course. That would be weird.

More bookstore/gamestore AU.

If you ever go into shigaraki’s gamestore while he’s working, he 100% gets flustered but covers it with annoyance. Because, why are you here? Do you actually game? Probably not. You’re likely just here to pick up something for your boyfriend. And why would you come in on the one day he’s rewearing an unwashed uniform (okay so maybe it’s not just this day that he’s done that).

You get purposefully close to where he’s shelving cases, making it seem like you’re just looking for something, and he loses concentration. The cases topple down from the shelves and shigaraki’s swearing under his breath and blaming you. But you bend down to help him pick them up, and suddenly he’s less mad, especially when this angle gives him a peek down your shirt. (Yes he knows it’s perverted and disrespectful, be he also doesn’t care).

He rings you up at the counter, and though he doesn’t smile, maybe he slides you his steam username and says he’ll be online later.

Bookstore/Gamestore AU time.

So, how about shigaraki visiting you at work? He doesn’t actually give a shit about reading. Like he can read, quite well actually, and he has a few books on his shelf. But we all know this man’s escapism is not found in pages. So when he comes into your bookstore, it’s 100% to get your attention.

After wandering the aisles slurping loudly on a drink can (that he later hides on a shelf) he finds you putting away stock in the back. You’re in the manga section, and shigaraki feels his pulse kick up a gear because you’re shelving those plastic wrapped ‘mature content’ books. He’s sneaks up on you.

‘What are you doing?’ he asks.

It takes you by surprise that he’s here, and even more so that he’s speaking to you. ‘Working,’ you say. And then when he just stands there, you ask, ‘Can I help you find something or?’

Which of course embarrasses shigaraki because he doesn’t need your help. What, do you think he’s stupid? He can find his own damn book. The only problem is he didn’t even come here to get a book, his subconscious brought him here to watch you in a not-totally-stalkerish way.

And because this man has ZERO rizz, he just snorts, rolls his eyes and says, ‘No. You’re just in my way.’

He proceeds to grab the first book he sees - the one in your hand - and tucks it under his arm. He tries very hard to keep still though when he realises it’s one of the plastic wrapped manga you were putting away.

You eye off the manga’s suggestive cover and glare flatly at him like he’s some sort of degenerate. ‘Oh. My mistake,’ you say, and keep on with your work.

Shigaraki huffs and heads up to the counter. He’s got to see this through. You keep side-eyeing him throughout the purchase as one of your coworkers bags the manga for him, and although he doesn’t even want this, he’s annoyed by how disgusted you seem. So what if he’s essentially buying porn? If you sell it, you shouldn’t be so judgey.

It’s not till he gets back to the game store and takes the manga out of its packaging on his break, that he sees what he bought.

your bookstore employee/game store employee Shigaraki x reader AU is living rent free in my mind. I need to know if the reader ever tries to retaliate by going to the game store while Shigaraki is on-shift.

Oh I already made a post where reader goes to the game store here.

I wanna add more to it but I’m in such an inspo slump rn lemme go back to work in a couple of days and think of something else to write about this😭

Although, I will say shigaraki defs gets nicknamed ‘hentai-guy’ by your coworkers at the bookstore and he overhears this name when he tries to return the erotic manga he bought. So best believe that when you next find yourself in his game store, he and his coworkers (or coworker - spinner - the only one he likes) are thinking of a nickname for you too.
