Hi-hi!

Eyy, my third story on here. I didn't even do much planning for this one. I saw a prompt on Tumblr by the user dweebball and it was a Haikyuu coffee shop AU that sounded really fucKIN NICE and they really wanted someone to write it, so here I am.

There was basically a list of things they wanted in the story and literally one of the first ones was "Suga has two cats" and yeah I got super hype. There are a few personal things I added, like the name of his cats, what kind of cats they were, and such. I came up with opening and closing times for the shop, and I even planned out all of the employees' schedules and what days they work. Like, I wanted to be super cereal with this one.

Also, hahaha, whoops the prologue will be super super super long. It's not just a one chapter prologue nopenope. The prologue is really just introducing each character through their own chapter. I dunno how many characters there are, I forgot hahwhoopsagain. Though I guess some characters will be sharing a chapter, like Kageyama and Hinata, or Kuroo and Kenma.

Pairings include: DaiSuga, IwaOi, BokuAka, UkaTake, KiyoYachi, TsukiYama, Kagehina, KuroKen, TanaEnno (is that their ship name? idk Tanaka and Ennoshita basically), and AsaNoya.

And so with that, onto the story! Enjoy!

Prologue - Suga

Monday 9:10 AM

The first thing Suga felt when waking up was the ticklish sensation against his cheek. He couldn't say he was surprised though; this was a common occurrence when you live with two cats.

Again, he wasn't surprised to find out it was Lilac, a small black tabby, who was cuddled up next to him. Lilac was very affectionate with Suga, though she wasn't too fond of any visitors. His other cat, an orange and black calico appropriately named Pumpkin, was lounging on the actual large cat bed that Suga bought for both him and Lilac. Of course, Lilac never used it, preferring to sleep next to her owner.

As Lilac stirred from her sleep, Suga glanced at his alarm clock.

And he then proceeded to freak out.

"It's time to open shop!" He quickly pushed his comforter off of him, making sure not to throw it over Lilac, and rushed around his room for his work attire.

He figured it would take too long to take a shower, so he rubbed on some deodorant, quickly brushed his teeth, and figured that a simple banana would do for breakfast. He only just barely remembered to refill his cats' bowls before rushing out the door and heading down the stairs.

He knew that trying to tie his light brown apron behind his back and eating a banana at the same time would probably be a bad idea, but he went for it anyways. Luckily, he didn't drop his breakfast, and his apron was tied at least somewhat efficiently. At least good enough to stay up. He'll just fix it later.

Though he did almost drop his breakfast at the sudden banging on the glass window.

"Suga, you little shit! I've been standing out here for at least 10 minutes!"

Taking the last few bites out of his banana, he throws the peel in a nearby plastic bin and unlocks the entrance doors. He smiles at his companion, who only glared at him in response, and flips the closed sign hanging on the window to the open side.

"Good morning, Oikawa!" He says cheerfully, closing the door again. He gave a bright smile, as if he didn't leave one of his employees outside for longer than they should. The bell above the door that rang every time it opened only added to his angelic aura.

"It's situations like these that make me wanna quit." The slightly taller man grumbled, taking off his scarf and hat and already heading towards the back where the break room was.

Suga laughed a little, seeing through Oikawa's bluff, "I swear one day I'm going to make copies of these keys." He jingled said keys in his hand before putting them back in his pocket.

"I'm guessing you overslept, huh? That's unlike you." Oikawa called from the back room.

"Yeah, well you try cleaning up a cat's barf at 2 in the morning." Apparently Pumpkin had somehow gotten a hold of some bad tuna that Suga forgot to throw away last night. After cleaning up the mess, he rushed his cat to the vet, thinking something was wrong with him.

Overall, it was a pretty stressful night.

Oikawa came back in the room, donning an apron similar to Suga's, and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you sure you're okay with those cats?"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine."

"I'm sorry, let me rephrase that. Are those cat's okay with you?"

"Ha ha." Suga laughed sarcastically.

The bell above the door rang again, signaling another arrival.

"Akaashi!" Suga cheerfully exclaimed. Akaashi, Suga's other employee, was a reasonable and calm worker, unlike Oikawa who would flirt with anyone and anything that came through the door.

"Morning." Akaashi responded, giving a nod to both Suga and Oikawa. As he went to go change into his apron as well, Suga looked at the clock on the wall.

9:14.

He briefly glanced at the small white board that hang behind the counter, having to look slightly past Oikawa's shoulder, who was already preparing a cup of coffee (probably for himself).

The white board had various numbers and letters on it, some of them in purple, others in blue. Suga was the one who put it there in the first place as a reminder or schedule of sorts. The employees and costumers are always asking him what it means, but he refuses to tell them.

Honestly, he's surprised no one has figured it out.

At the top of the white board, the letters UT are written in blue. Next to that, the number 915 is also written in blue.

Right as Suga looked to the front door, it opened, as if he was expecting it to, and he said the familiar phrase, "Hello! Welcome to the Karasuno Kafé, how can I help you today?"

So here's the end of Suga's prologue. I know, it's short, it wasn't supposed to be v.v Next is Oikawa, that fucking drama queen.

I'm doing all of the prologues in a certain order. Basically in the order that they were introduced in from the prompt I read. I'll announce who's prologue is next at the end of each chapter.

At the beginning, I said that I had already planned out the schedules for all of the employees. Really there's only four besides Suga, and only two of them are full-timers.

BUT I also planned out what time each customer arrives at the shop (though I called it a cafe for title purposes hue) and any special traits that dweebball has listed.

Also hey heads up there will be a lot of Suga playing cupid in this story.
