#and meanwhile Yata has no idea bc he can't speak to any of them

[ridiasfangirlings]

my favorite hobby is torturing yata (lightheartedly). i imagine since yata *is* canonically cool to others, esp girls, that he def has fangirls around the city whether he knows it or not...since yata has to take whatever jobs he can, i can see him getting a job where theres girls who know him and he doesnt wanna back out cus he needs money but then also he keeps from customers from harassing them on shift (i love putting him in a room of fangirls xD)

This is honestly making me think of Yata as like Stark from Frieren, befriending people and becoming popular everywhere he goes. Like Yata can’t talk with girls but he also isn’t gonna let anyone harass them either, so he ends up being popular just by being a good guy and he has no idea. He works at a restaurant for a few weeks and there’s a waitress around his age who Yata is completely unable to talk to and every time she says hi to him he gets bright red and stutters. She thinks he’s just weirdly shy and then one day a customer tries to put a hand up her skirt. The waitress freezes and suddenly there’s Yata putting the guy into the ground all what the fuck did you just do asshole. Even though the waitress sticks up for him Yata still gets fired for making a scene, but after this all the other waitresses hear about the nice guy who beat up a customer that was harassing women.

Yata gets another job at a convenience store, there are several women working there too and Yata just kinda looks away and swallows hard every time they look at him. One day this group of drunk guys walk into the store and start causing a scene and harassing all the female employees, and once again here comes Yata with a broom chasing them all off like don’t scare girls or I'll kill you. He gets another job after that doing deliveries, and happens to show up at one apartment just as a guy is hitting his girlfriend. Immediately Yata knocks the guy out and when the girl expresses gratitude he just stutters and drops her deliveries into her hands like ‘it’s fine here’s your stuff bye.’ Unknown to Yata he basically ends up with a ton of girls all over the city who know about him and think he’s amazing, and Yata has absolutely no idea. (And then one day he goes to a bar with some of the other guys and he’s suddenly surrounded by girls that he’s had only a passing acquaintance with but who he once helped in the past, Yata is about to pass out from all the female attention and the rest of the Homra guys are just like how did Yata suddenly get so popular with the ladies what the hell.)
