LIKE I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND MY APPRECIATION FOR THIS SHIP

[potionpeddlerpatchy]

Good morning patchy!! I hope you have lovely day even though you expect it to be a long one. Here's a little bit from my anime self-ships. 💕

Shouta: I have a WIP for a bookstore au and that has just morphed into my self-ship au.

I had owned my little downtown coffee shop for about 5 years when he moved into the empty half of the same building. His was the first proposal to the city board that would fit well being adjoining with mine. A secondhand bookstore. New and old books, swaps for discounts etc.

I was opening one morning when the realtor and the city's commissioner showed him the space. And they stopped in for coffee later that morning, and so that we could formally meet each other. He was quiet, only asked a few questions, and complimented the coffee. But his eyes were piercing, clocking everything that happened around him. Almost a little wary, but still kind every time they met mine.

He opened within a few weeks and was a hit in town immediately, although people were taken aback by how gruff he came off at times. How curt, but still polite he could be. Quickly became a point of gossip among my younger afternoon employees. They knew everything there was to know about everyone. 😂

It wasn't long before we frequented each other's space. He spent early mornings leaning over my shop's counter while we chatted about the book he'd recommend that week. Too many late nights at the 24hr diner down the street, before I realized that I had feelings for him. But he was fresh out of a bad on again off again relationship (Hizashi) and was struggling with letting go of that, so I didn't imagine that he could be feeling the same.

One evening his shop light was still on much later than usual (his apt is above the store) and I went over to return a book. He was nursing a bottle of good scotch. One that he'd told me he only brought out when he wanted to forget whatever he was stuck on.

He was still stoic, but a little red in the face. Rambling about what a fool he was, that he wanted so badly to move on from his past. That there was something he thought could be so much better than what he'd had before but he was so afraid to fuck it up. I threw back a swig straight from his bottle and found the footing (through my disappointment) to tell him that he should try. That he deserves everything he never had before.

I asked him who, as I got up from sitting on his desk (that he'd been pacing in front of) and he turned toward me to say something when he tripped. He knocked me back, accidentally practically flat onto the desk before he caught himself. He hovered there for a second, then pressed me back in what was effectively the best kiss I've ever had. I pulled him down, and kissed him again, and the rest is history. 💘

Sorry this became a whole overview lol, but I hope you enjoy!

LISTEN! I so very much enjoyed this overview - so thank you so much for sharing this with me 🥺

The fact he's so gruff and wanting to forget his past and opening up to you is so sweet - like I LIVE for this dynamic of trying a hand at love once again despite it all and UGH! YES!

And like,,, if you ever wanna talk more about it.... you can always come to me, yeah? 🥺👉👈

gush about your selfship, please save me from work

“is the brat asleep?”

you were knocked out of your cleaning trance upon hearing that familiar gruff voice, glancing over your shoulder and smiling before you looked back down to finish washing the dish in your hand. “he sure is.. he knocked out about twenty minutes ago.”

katsuki approached the sink, leaning against the counter as he watched you clean the dirty dishes in the sink. “how’s he been with you? i know he can be a handful.” you simply smiled and shook your head. “he’s an angel. s’got a temper like his daddy, but i know how to handle him.” you replied, your smile only growing. ever since you started working for bakugou you and his son became inseparable. he was the sweetest kid - sure his tantrums were a nightmare but he was awesome.

katsuki chuckled and nodded his head. “yeah sorry bout that.. he seems to take after me with a lot of those kinds of things. how are you with.. yknow, everything? working for me i mean. any complaints?” as you pondered his question you turned away from the now empty sink and grabbed a clean rag, drying your hands off on them before looking back up at katsukis taller frame. “i like it.. i really do. honestly i would do it for free. you’re son is wonderful and you’re..” you stop yourself before you accidentally say something unprofessional, smiling sheepishly as your ears heat up a few degrees. “you’re wonderful as well..”

the corner of katsukis mouth pulls into a grin noticing the faint hint of color on your cheeks and he leans in a little closer. “you’re pretty wonderful yourself.” he spoke in a foreignly tender voice and you can’t help but lower your head to hide the growing blush on your face and tuck your hair behind your ear. “thank you..” you say as you glance back up at him, your eyes switching between his red ones.

a brief moment of comfortable silence falls between you two before katsuki finally breaks it, his hand reaching out to rest on the counter top behind you. “do you wanna have dinner with me sometime?”

you almost choke on nothing, surprised by his sudden proposal and you find your cheeks starting to hurt from smiling so much. “i- yeah i would.. love that a lot.” you reply with a small giggle and a few chuckles pull from katsuki as well. “good.” he replies, nodding his head in triumph.

a moment of silence fell between you two but it wasn’t uncomfortable. when you first started working for katsuki, he was more stand-off-ish, not really making conversation or feeding into your attempts at small talk. but as the weeks of working for him turned into months he became more accustomed with you, and you were just so good with his son.

katsuki could still recall the moment he realized he was interested in you beyond working as his babysitter for his son - or his ‘brat’ as he referred to him as. he had come home from work late, pushing down enough of his ego to apologize for getting held up when he spotted you in his sons nursery, holding the small child in your arms protectively in your sleep. his features softened as he stared, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips and his heart swelled.

ever since that moment, he knew he wanted to get closer to you. he became more talkative, showing his appreciation more. he even started paying you more, which took him having to tell you to shut the hell up when you politely declined, pointing out that he had more money than he knew what to do with.

now that he’d finally made a move, you were beyond overjoyed. you weren’t sure what to expect of this date, but you couldn’t wait to finally get to know him on a deeper level.
