| The Black Cat Cafe was something of an enigma. Despite serving a constantly-shifting menu of new drinks - each one offering subtle, yet sumptuous, differences from the previous iterations - and baking pastries with flavours both weird and wonderful, its presence was known to only handful of people. Select regulars would come in at select times of day, whether it was a young couple seeking a place to be together, away from their parents' disapproving eyes, a salaryman looking to escape the constant and crushing pressure of daily life, or a haggard old hero that always seemed to pass through the door with more scars each day.
Hyousuke was no exception to this. The heavy oaken door of the cafe creaked, letting the blond - his hair slightly dampened from the rain clattering against the cobbled paths outside - step slowly into the establishment. Bathed in the warm, orange light of fixtures hanging overhead, he walked towards the counter, though without the usual air of relief he usually had about him when he took a break there. Instead, his mind seemed to be elsewhere, his gaze unfocussed and his steps following no set pace. For a moment, the man behind the counter - an older gentleman, whose hair had begun to grey - regarded this change with restrained curiosity for a moment, before returning to cleaning off a mug.
It was only when Hyousuke approached that he looked back up. Even then, he only gave a nod when asked for 'the usual.' Hyousuke's sombre, somehow absent, tone had not affected him - visibly, at least - in the slightest, and he set about fixing a simple coffee and plating whatever new baked goodie he thought the boy might like. In the meantime, the boy himself seemed to drag himself to a seat, almost staggering towards the chair by the window before all but falling into it and leaning onto his hands, elbows propped onto the table. As badly as the Sports Festival had gone, at least he could find some peace - however brief - from his own thoughts when he was there.

Free time
The two words rang loudly in the boys brain as he focused on hanging out after classes. The boy had finished training, studying, and reading his book so there wasn't much else to do... around the school that was. This fine day he'd decide to explore the outside. It had been such an extremely long time since the boy was able to simply walk around a city without being hunted, watched, or attacked. In fact it made him feel a tad uneasy. As he changed out of his School uniform, he'd decide to wear a white t-shirt with Blue jeans, and Timberland boots. His signature New York style and a black Bubble jacket. He was feeling EXTRA New York today!He looked at himself in the mirror and laughed. It was so like him to default to this. But it was what he knew. His heart sunk thinking about his time at home when he was younger. His mother dressed him back then but the fashion style had never seemed to change. A tear fell down Quincy's Cheek as he'd wipe it off. He'd tie his laces and head straight out the door. As soon as he reached the common area and looked outside his energy went out the window as his hopes for a day of exploration were dashed with the dreaded rain. He would groan under his breath and remember he kept his umbrella in his room. Trudging back up the stairs the boy would grab his umbrella and head out off campus to see what they had. He wouldn't go too far seeing as how it was raining and all.
The boy marched on in the parade of umbrella's as he window shopped. Clothing, home supplies, food. There was so much. but he was getting a bit hungry. The white haired child craved caffeine. So the nearby shops looked less than appetizing. That was until he came across a quaint hole in the wall. It looked like a coffee shop. A closer look wouldn't hurt.
Walking into the establishment Quincy would take in the scenery. It looked homey and warm. A place where people hung out after school after going to an arcade or something. A thing Quincy missed a lot while on the run. He smiled weekly as the bell rang overhead signaling him entering the shop. He'd approach the old man at the counter after closing his umbrella and unzipping his jacket. The heat was on in the building so no use in layering up. The boy scanned the menu and finally ordered a Salted Caramel Latte and a croissant to go with it. As his order was prepared he examined the room and saw a familiar face among the crowd. He was good with faces, but he didn't want to assume. As the old man placed the beverage and food on the plate he'd take his food and move towards the blonde guy sulking at the table. As he got a closer look he remembered his face. That boy was in his class. But they never had a proper greeting. He couldn't remember his name for the life of him but he knew the guy's face. He would rest his items on the table and sit on the chair opposite Hyousuke. Draping his jacket over the chair he'd. Take a sip of his latte before speaking.
"Sorry for taking this seat without asking. I'm your new classmate, Quincy." The boy didn't respond. It seemed like he was beating himself about something. "Is something the matter? If I'm causing you discomfort I can go!"

| While he normally would have at least tried to act civil around people - even if they were interrupting time he'd rather have had to himself - he couldn't stop a look of unabashed disgust from crossing his face. It was only there for a split second before he managed to disguise it with something far more neutral again, but it didn't change the fact that he had absolutely no desire to talk with someone when he just wanted to be left alone with his thoughts. Conscious of this, and not wanting to worsen the situation by coming out with a response that could be seen as rude, Hyousuke looked down for a moment, considering his reply, before looking back up at whoever the hell it was that had decided to interrupt his alone time.
"It's fine." He said curtly. It really wasn't - someone just barging in on him without even having the courtesy to ask first was rude, even by his standards. "Just... thinking about something." He took the coffee and the pastry that were brought to him - a black Americano with what was apparently an elderberry tart - and took a sip. Bitter, strong, and hot - not how he usually took his drink, but he needed the caffeine, hoping against hope it'd help with the lethargy that plagued him. "Suzuki Hyousuke, by the way."

Quincy could see he was... bothering the guy. From the tone of his voice he sounded quite annoyed, by his presence. In new York People would just sit wherever they wanted without any regard to other human beings. Maybe that came off as rude to other people. He was still getting accustomed to living in a completely different country so some of his mannerisms might have seemed odd or rude. The silence between them grew as they sipped their respective coffee's. He thought he could get to know his classmates a bit better but this guy reminded him of himself not too long ago before coming here. Luckily the blonde gave his name finally breaking the silence.
"Well it's very nice to meet you Suzu-..." SHIT! He had forgotten that people who are acquaintances here use last names instead. "Er- I mean Hyousu!" Shit! that was wrong too people started with their last names here. So he had it right the first time. "Wait I was right the first time. It is Suzuki." His japanese was a little rough around the edges but he was making articulate sentences. "I'm still getting used to the language here." He would say a little embarrassed. If black people could blush he'd be doing it right now. "So, Suzuki...-kun." He needed a bit to get the correct words together. "You said you were thinking about something. Whatever it must be isn't good. The look on your face says it all." Quincy was good at reading people. It was a nice talent to have and learn when you were on the run. Especially when there are people out to get you. "Do you feel like talking about it? I may be able to help!" It might have seemed like Quincy was being rude and wanted to get up in Suzuki's business but they white haired boy genuinely wanted to help. "Emotions are like soda. Better to let it out before things bubble and spill over!"

| Hyousuke didn't even try to hide his irritation. THis was the place he came when he needed time alone. When he wished to be left to his thoughts. Perhaps, if he was feeling particularly sociable, he'd tolerate someone else's presence. But Quincy was pushing his patience to its utter limit. Not only had he just barged in without even asking, only apologising after taking a seat in front of someone that was basically a stranger, but he'd started to make a scene in an establishment that prided itself on a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Most of the patrons ignored him, but a few shot irritated glances in his direction.
As if to add insult to injury, it seemed like the stranger was intent on poking his nose where it didn't belong, demanding to know things he'd not earnt the right to hear. Hyousuke feared he'd shatter the mug, so tight was his grip on that porcelain handle, knuckles white from the frustrated clenching. "No." He said flatly, wanting to leave no doubt that he wasn't exactly in the talking sort of mood. "I came here because I wanted to be left alone. Can you just let me have that? We'll talk more at school if we really have to."
He stared Quincy down, his expectant glare tinged with barely-restrained scorn. Evidently, he wasn't too pleased by Quincy's insistence on extracting information he had no right hearing.

Quincy was a little taken aback. However he had expected it. However Quincy had no reason to be angry. However deep inside he was. he just wanted to help so why was this guy so... mean? His face went dark, any sort of sincerity and kindness now washed away. This reminded him of the people in the states. He just seemed to destroy every relation ship he came across. The Ceramic mug of Salted Caramel cracked under Quincy's intense grip as his chest flared. The boy was now panicking. His Quirk was activating and he had no way of holding back his intense
mixture of emotions. Quincy realized what was happening and quickly grabbed the his things. The boy was visibly getting bigger steadily but surely and it looked like tiny horns were slowly growing out of his head.
Trying to protect as many people as possible he quickly ran towards the counter to pay for his items. "Uh keep the change!" His voice was getting deeper and much more growl-like. Before leaving he'd turn to his sullen classmate as his eye's started to turn red as if to say "I'm sorry!" Before rushing out the door he'd barely be able to fit any more. Whilst outside in the rain he ran as fast as he could out of view into a nearby alley to transform fully. His clothes now torn and only a pair of torn blue jeans he roared loudly in the alleyway. Alerting some of the homeless. They scattered and ran like cockroaches however Quincy sat there in the rain his torn shirt left in front of that coffee shop. He couldn't go back for it now he'd look weird. People would hate him even more as a 10 foot tall Minotaur. He'd have to wait for the transformation to wear off. The boy crushed his umbrella in the ensuing transformation so he was stuck walking. The giant of a boy who held onto the last shred of his sanity proceeded to head back to the school it was going to be a very lonely walk!
-Exit-
