Ahhhh i'm so into your baker/mob boss au!!! can I get like their first meeting or something please and thank you

[Mob boss/Baker AU]

Harry’s craving something sweet. He always does, when he kills someone, and another mob boss had killed the last baker Harry had gotten his sweets from - and really, that had just been petty, Stefano had done nothing wrong, he didn’t even know what Harry did for work - which means now he’s gotta find a new baker or candy maker that’s open this late.

He could always go to a supermarket and get packed candy, but that’s never one tenth as good as it is freshly made, so Harry hates it. Plus, he likes to support local businesses. He’s not all bad.

He pulls up in front of a small, brightly lit store. It’s in the middle of London, where all the pubs and shops are; Harry does his best to stay away from crowded places like these, but the place opened a few days ago and is already a favorite between locals - including Hermione, who has already become friends with the owner - so Harry’s going to make himself at least check it out.

The front door says they’re open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and though it’s at least eleven, the place is entirely lit up and Harry can see a person inside, behind the counter. He pushes at the door, and a little bell ring as it opens.

He steps inside.

“Hello,” He says. The man at the counter - of whom Harry can only see the top of his hair - in a net - since he’s bent over three chocolate trays, working closely - seems too distracted to hear him. “I, uh. Is it open?”

He’s a mob boss, sure, but he’s not impolite. Service workers have it hard enough as it is, Harry doesn’t want to be one of those asshole costumers that demands service whenever and wherever just because he’s paying.

The man doesn’t even look up.

Harry steps closer, and it isn’t until he places his hand on the counter that the man looks up, startled. Harry’s breath stutters; he’s gorgeous, with white blonde hair and pale gray eyes. When he flushes and takes off the face mask he’s wearing, he has the most beautiful pink lips, with a lovely cupid’s bow that Harry wants to bite.

“Hi,” Harry says, smiling. As much as he wants to take this man home, he won’t. He needs his daily does of sugar, and he cannot get it if he sleeps with the candy maker and then never calls him again. If this man’s candy is even half as good as it’s supposed to be, Harry’s not willing to make the trade. “Can I order something?”

The man looks at his watch, the sign at the door, but then shrugs and nods, smiling brightly.

“I, uh.” Harry hesitates, scanning the delicious looking chocolates on the counter, licking his lips at the pictures of products on the wall. He wants to try everything. “What’s your specialty?”

The baker - Draco, his name tag says - doesn’t say anything, and Harry looks up with raised eyebrows. Draco frowns lightly at the evident question, and then smiles sheepishly and points to the sign on the wall. 

It’s in bright pink with white letters, saying, ‘Hello. I’m deaf. Please look at me and speak clearly so I can read your lips.’

“Oh,” Harry says. “Oh. I’m sorry. I want whatever you recommend. All of it.”

Draco’s face brightens, evidently excited. He grabs a small bag and begins grabbing items from the counter and the display. From Hermione, Harry knows the shop always sells out, but she’d also told him that Draco bakes and makes chocolate at night to try new creations before putting them out for sale.

He watches Draco carefully pick the most beautiful chocolates of the one’s he’d made, at least six different kinds, and put them all in the paper bag he’s grabbed. Once he’s done, Draco grabs a small whiteboard sitting on the counter and writes something with blue marker. He shows it to Harry.

You have to tell me what you think, he says. They’re new.

“Alright,” Harry agrees, becoming more besotted by the second.

Draco hands him the bag, and Harry pays, and then he reaches inside and tries one of the chocolates.

It’s heavenly.

“This,” he says. “Is the best thing I’ve ever tasted.”

Draco’s smile is blinding.

* 

Harry becomes something of an official taster for Draco after that; he always shows up late at night, and Draco always stays open for him. They sit together in one of the tables - that Harry is quickly beginning to think of as their table - and Harry tries the things Draco’s made that day, and they talk, Draco reading Harry’s lips and answering through the whiteboard.

Harry begins taking sign language immediately - from Hermione, because of course she knows sign language - and though it’s slow, and probably rough around the edges, Draco’s face brightens more than Harry’s ever seen when he signs ‘H-e-l-l-o D-r-a-c-o’ slowly.

It’s the first time Draco hugs him.

Harry decides then and there that this is the man he wants to spend the rest of his life with. He’ll make sure of it.

In all honesty, procrastination is my nemesis– and I think that goes for a whole lot of people, even here in the perfect world of studyblr. Here are some tips to get better at sitting down and going for it without getting distracted!

Removing Distractions

Physical Distractions

Clear any clutter off your desk. Having a more minimal workspace without yesterday’s receipt from lunch keeps you more focused.

Remove irrelevant items. If you don’t need it for the task at hand, get rid of it. This applies especially to appealing books, games, and puzzles.

Close the door. Whether literally, or figuratively, let other people know you’re working and ask them not to disturb you so you stay focused.

Digital Distractions

Use a website blocker. If you really need to stay away, try an app or extension to make sure you stick to focusing. Here are some options:

StayFocusd

Forest

SelfControl

Cold Turkey

Focus

Turn off phone notifications. Almost nothing is more likely to distract you, so use aeroplane mode, or block all social media notifications.

Getting to Work

Planning

Make a to-do list. Getting a solid list of what you need to do is one step closer to getting it done! Here are some printables that might help you:

Schedule according to your priorities. Breaking your tasks down by importance is another way to categorize and be more efficient.

Ensure that you look ahead. If necessary, look at your schedule in the future and plan that so that you’re forced to stay on track in order to not get behind your schedule.

Structuring your Work

Track what you’ve done. If you can check it off your list, you’ll just want that feeling again. It encourages you by showing that you can do it!

Time yourself. If you commit to ten minutes of work, you’re far more likely to just keep going, and timing’s also a great tracked. Here are a few apps you might find handy!

Pomello

ClearFocus

Reward yourself at set times or milestones. Take breaks, grab a cup of coffee or an orange, and don’t work yourself into the ground. Giving yourself ten minutes off will refresh you, as long as you don’t go straight back to your distractions. 

You’ve got this!! Get yourself sorted and get going, because you most certainly have it in you :D

i bet her fingers touch all the right places

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.
