I Like You A Latte

Summary: Bruce never had the courage to talk to the cute girl at the café until fortune intervenes

 Pairing: Bruce Banner x Female Reader

Warnings: Fluff

 Bruce had been coming to the café for a while now. It had a calming atmosphere and they made excellent calming drinks. On cold days, he could warm up with a blended tea of lavender and chamomile. On hotter days, they had a range of calming smoothie blends. The staff there were nice too. Recently though, he noticed a woman come in, order her coffee and sit down to start working on her laptop. She always sat at the same table (when she could), had the same routine. Bruce wondered what kind of work she was in… an author perhaps? Maybe a journalist on a deadline? Or someone working on a degree? Would it disturb her if he went to talk to her? The last thing he wanted was to be a bother. For now, Bruce would be content admiring her from afar.

…

 One warm, summer afternoon, Bruce had just received his usual smoothie. He moved in a little closer to your table. Bruce thought to himself that today would be the day he would finally work up the courage to talk to you. As he approached you, he failed to notice the person behind him with a large bag. That person swung the heavy bag over their shoulder, hitting Bruce in the back and knocking him into you, his drink going all over you. Bruce was mortified as you stared at him in shock. He also felt angry at the person who pushed him and upset that he may have just had his chances dashed. The person barely uttered a gruff “sorry” as they walked out the door. Now it was Bruce’s turn to apologies.

 “I’m so sorry! I was pushed and now I’ve got my drink all over you, and… and…”

 Now Bruce was trying to fight to keep his heartrate from spiking.

 While you were annoyed that you had just been doused in cold, sticky smoothie, you could tell this guy was genuinely apologetic, unlike the person you could tell had caused the chain reaction. You had seen this man come in a few times since you started coming here. He would mainly sit on his own and enjoy his drink. You thought he was pretty cute.

 “Don’t worry about it,” you sighed.

 “Please, allow me to buy to a coffee and a treat to apologise…”

 You tried to protest but he was insistent.

 Soon, you had a fresh coffee and a treat as he got himself a new drink. You thanked him as came back with some napkins to help you clean up.

 “Again, I’m really sorry. I’m Bruce, by the way…”

 You introduced yourself and informed him once again, he didn’t have to worry about it. You could tell he still felt guilty about it. Placing your hand on his, you offered him a kind smile which made him blush.

 “Look, accidents happen. I’d like to give that guy with the bag a piece of my mind but I don’t hold it against you,” you assured Bruce which made him smile.

 There were a few moments of awkward silence while you both decided on what to say.

 “I, um… I often see you come in here with your laptop… are you working on something?” Bruce shyly asked, mentally chiding himself on how intrusive that may have sounded.

 “Actually, I’m a historian doing research on women in science. When I have enough information, I may write a book about them…”

 “I hope I’m not disturbing you…”

 “I could do with a break… at the moment I’m trying to find out more on Clara Immerwahr but I’m starting to run dry,” you explained.

 “Tell me more about her,” Bruce requested.

 You told him all about the German born chemist and wife of fellow chemist Fritz Harber and her tragic fate. Bruce listened with fascination at your every word and asked about the other women you had researched. He couldn’t help but smile at the way your face lit up with each historical woman you spoke about. Before you knew it, an hour had passed.

 “I’m sorry, I just realised I never asked about you… what’s your story?” you asked.

 “Well… um… I’m a scientist and I… sometimes find it very stressful working with the people I live with…” he explained.

 Bruce told you about himself without giving away too much detail. Soon, you were chatting the afternoon away, about your various interests and favourite things. Bruce hadn’t meant to stay so long but he was really enjoying your company and you enjoyed his. The pair of you talked for so long that you were still there at closing time.

 “Will I see you tomorrow?” Bruce asked hopefully.

 “Of course. Same place?” you replied.

 He beamed and nodded. Bruce knew that eventually he would have to tell you the full truth but for now, he was content just officially meeting you (although he wished the circumstances were better). From now on, Bruce would look forward to his visits to the café. Perhaps one day, he would eventually ask you out on a proper date but for now, he was just happy talking to such a wonderful woman like you.

 You were also happy to finally get to talk to such a nice sweet guy like Bruce. Sure, your first meeting wasn’t the best but who knows? It could one day be a funny anecdote to be told at your wedding…

i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..

like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO

less specific ones include:

"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*

"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"

"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."

(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)

“No, go away.” 

“Mrow.”

“Stop it.”

“Mrooow.”

"Go awaaaayy."

"..."

“She likes me more than you, you know.” Satoru says seriously.

Big hazel eyes stared up at him. A fluffy tail swished. There are no thoughts behind those eyes, he observed. Only hunger.

“Yeah, she does.” He said insistently. The tail swished again while he protectively held his bowl closer to his chest. He didn’t care one single bit if he looked ridiculous.

He'd already had to get up from his comfortable spot on the couch when she tried to launch herself at him, dodging her as she followed him around. 

"You look like a gremlin, and it's after midnight, so you definitely aren't getting any." He said seriously, like she was listening at all, let alone understood him.

Satoru wasn’t really a cat person. He didn’t mind them, but preferred the energy and general enthusiasm to see him that dogs had. However, he didn’t have the kind of time to dedicate to being a proper dog owner, and you, as his girlfriend who was actually home the most, loved cats.

He admittedly does like how soft they are and how funny it looks when they sit like a little loaf of bread.

He does not like how they try to steal his ice cream.

“Back off, Latte!” He did not feel ridiculous at all for taking a defensive stance against a 10lb animal.

He lifted the bowl over his head, as if there was even the possibility she could have reached it while he was already standing up. But he’s not stupid. He fights this battle almost every night with varying desserts and she is crafty. 

He’s never owned a cat before, obviously (he didn’t have any pets growing up because he never had time, always training training training), so he wasn’t aware they even ate people food. He definitely didn’t consider that one might overcome their own skittishness for whipcream. 

He gets it though.

“This is mine, as in, for me only. You don’t get any.” He also was not even remotely embarrassed to be arguing seriously with a cat that was stretched up his leg like she was going to climb her way to his dessert.

“Gah! These are expensive, you know.” He gritted out when he felt claws digging into his thigh through the fabric of his pants. 

“Meoow!” 

“Stop looking at me like that! You can’t have it!”

Just as he was considering the pros and cons of shaking his leg to get her off him, you were there, swooping up the silly animal and holding her like a baby. 

“Y’know, you could’ve been eating your ice cream this whole time, instead of trying to convince her to leave you alone,” You say, smiling, “I don’t think even you can get a cat to go away when they don’t want to.”

He made a grumbling sound, not agreeing with you, just turning his back and stuffing his face like a chipmunk. 

You reached around to swipe a finger through the whipcream and he glared over his shoulder at you when you let the cat lick it off your finger.

"...you don't let me do that." He pouted.

You looked at him flatly while your cat tried to squirm out of your arms, "Just hurry up and finish it, goof."

He manically scooped the remains into his mouth, making you laugh when he actually licked the bowl.

“Why don't you ever turn use infinity?” You asked with a raised brow, amused, as he took his dishes to the kitchen.

His mouth opened but no words came out. He blinked. "I have no idea."

he secretly liked the nightly battle. he called it 'bonding.'

Here we are, I’ve finally done some kind of Cookie Run fanart

It’s more human Cookies because I wanted it to be simple and me not have to do much work. Also sort of why there’s no hats

I ended up doing coffee Cookies, mostly because I wanted to draw Latte and Espresso, and after Cappuccino I didn’t know who else to do

I probably could have just done Parfaedia people, but screw it, ingredient connection

I did Affogato prior, hence why he’s not here. Also I’m convinced that I’ve still missed some coffee involved Cookies, probably more recent ones. But I’ve at least drawn some of them

I also only remembered there was an actual Coffee Cookie right after finishing, but I don’t feel like adding her right now

Personally I really like how Latte and Tiramisu came out in particular, and on the other hand, I think Cappuccino and Coffee Candy are the weakest. Hopefully I’ll figure out how to make them look better in the future

In my eyes, Latte here dyes her hair with the blonde highlights, Espresso has some grey streaks forming, Cappuccino’s old and stressed and has white hair happening, Coffee Candy either has her hair darkening more or is also using blonde dye, and Tiramisu just has darker roots

I think I wanted to give Mocha Ray more, like at least a kind of veil/headdress on her head, but I wasn’t sure what kind of thing would work for her. I mean maybe a hijab, but also those are supposed to cover all your hair from what I remember, so it wouldn’t have entirely worked. But I at least gave her freckles, which I think look nice

Also thankfully, because they’re all based on mostly brown things, their original colors can mostly stay, outside of some color tweaking

Also now I want to headcanon Latte and Cappuccino as specifically related. Like he’s maybe her uncle or something. Maybe that’s too big a gap in age, that’s probably gonna put Cappuccino in his 50s, but he’s definitely older than her and I want them related. Maybe he can also be related to Espresso but it’s more distant

Also we need more proper coffee drink Cookies. I know they’re popular OC names, but we can have a few more. Add in a Frappe or Macchiato or even an Iced Coffee or something. Especially in Kingdom, as far as I recall there’s still only three

But yeah, I think that’s about it right now. Hopefully you enjoy this addition to what is supposed to be my regular content

I don’t know who I’ll do next on the human side

[saetgvia]

i like you a latte out now <3

[sir-fluffbutts]

how cone twins appeared in latte's apartment? why would he sell a room in his house to some teenages? why would he even sell a room in his house at that point? was it to feel a little less lonely or is there another matter?

SO,

- its not like he rented out a room from his own house, but latte lives in a 5 story apartment building that he owns (something like this)

he only uses the top floor as his own so the rest is up for grabs (so directly speaking, he's a landlord)

- the twins (all of them) were signed up as a sort of support system from lotl.corp, and since lattes apartment (at the time, only 4th story available) was open for those types of support systems, it was selected as one of the housing options from the system

they just picked this place cause unlike the rest of the twins, they posess a strong special ability(fire) and was pretty confident they can live in a more shady parts of the city without accident

-----------

so in short, he didn't directly sold the place to them, he just had it open for a housing support system (cause its not like he need the space or the money) and it got randomly selected as a option

[smokbeast]

He's here

Latte belongs to ma fren @crazybookcat :)

M: I'm gonna go get us beverages, what do you want, a pink drink?

P: Mph, is that your idea of being funny?

M: What are you gonna get then?

P: ...A pink drink

gfjdkba LMAO yes.

The unfortunate (or fortunate depending on how you look at it), is that once the rest of the 141 knows about your marriage to Price, you've been elected as 'Task Force Mum'. Doesn't matter if you're younger than Ghost, or barely old enough to be any of their mums, you're mum now.

So, if you're bringing Price a drink, you better bring one for the rest of them. Ghost gets an Earl Gray with enough sugar to cause a cavity. Soap can't have caffeine, so he gets a hot chocolate.

And Gaz? Gaz wants a caramel cookie frappuccino with an extra shot of caramel.
