ᡣ𐭩 notes: hi so i’ve been thinking about barista!rin itoshi all day long and i just HAD to do this. the idea of him being all grumpy and silent behind the counter but secretly losing his mind every time you walk in??? the silent little acts of affection?? the way he would never actually say anything at first but it's just so obvious if you pay attention??? ughh i just couldn't resist okay. anywayyy, please enjoy this very specific soft headcanons of rin ♡

໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who deadass looks like he hates everyone when he's behind the counter — perfect poker face, radiates “don’t-talk-to-me-unless-necessary” energy — but would literally turn into an awkward mess every time you walk in & smile at him.
໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who somehow always ends up at the register when you arrive — even if it’s not his shift — just so he can take your order personally.
໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who glares at his coworkers if they ever flirt with you too much — absolutely vicious silent death glares over the espresso machine.
໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who accidentally makes your drink prettier than everyone else's — little foam art hearts he insists are just "part of the set menu design."
໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who always remembers your "usual" — but if you ever try something new, he quietly copies your new order after his shift just to understand what you like.
໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who lowkey practices how he’s going to ask you out — probably while wiping down the counters or steaming milk — but chickens out every single time because you smile too brightly and he forgets how words work.
໒꒱ barista!rin itoshi who finally — finally — manages to mumble, "Next coffee’s on me. And, uh... maybe after my shift ends tomorrow... let’s go on a date?" while studiously refusing to meet your eyes.

this happened, i witnessed it, i was koko’s money.
carpooling with your boyfriend—itoshi sae—has got to be the most interesting thing in the world.
there’s a silent sneeze coming from the man beside you—you barely noticed it was even a sneeze in the first place until someone pointed it out . . . someone being your boyfriend’s younger brother.
“you don’t sneeze like that!” rin exclaims in surprise.
from your perspective, all you can see is the way sae’s head turns to rin. however, all rin can see is the glare of death coming from his brother’s eyes telling him to shut up. there’s a twinge of curiosity brewing up in your throat that you just have to spit out.
“what does he mean?” your question is directed to sae but before he can turn back and answer it, rin is already answering. “big bro normally makes the whole house jump when he sneezes . . .” he pouts, sinking back into the plush seat—probably jealous you didn’t have to experience a whole ass earthquake, so unfair!
surprise shocks right through you in amusement. “really?” you urge him to elaborate on the subject, the look of betrayal is a glint in sae’s stare. “yeah! it rings throughout the house,” he explains and you’re on the verge of laughing but also dying by the hands of sae.
what should you do . . ? test your luck, of course!
“how?”
a familiar annoyed groan comes from sae before he starts massaging his temples like he has the worst migraine in the world. “. . . don’t even.” two words he spoke and two words rin didn’t listen to as he confidently re-enacts his brother so-called ‘sneeze that can cause an earthquake’.
and then the laugh you were holding finally rips through you—you swear you see sae slightly smile but it doesn’t stop him from feeling annoyed and betrayed,
“you guys suck.” sae grumpily grumbles.
sticky note. siblings love embarrassing their siblings . . . DO YOU GUYS SEE MY VISION I’M GIGGLING ( loud sneezer!sae . . . )
Actually think this may be one of the best official Wakui arts. Just the S62 all hanging out together, Ran messing around with Rindou (in such a big brother way too), so many of them happily grinning, Izana's peaceful smile, it's just such a good art.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAISER
