John's pov
"Hello and welcome to Maryam's maid cafe, I'm John, I use he/him pronouns, and I'll be your server today! How can I help you?"
Gamzee looked up at me, a dazed look in his eyes.
"Im GaMzEe He/HiM, GiVe Me A MoThErFuCkIn MiNuTe To ChOsE mY fOoD" a goofy smile spread across his face, this guy...
"Of course! Is there anything you'd like as a drink for now?"
"dO yOu HaPpEn To HaVe AnY mOtHeRfuCkIn FaYgO?"
"Yup! We only have rockin rye for now though, hopefully thats okay?"
"MoThErFuCkIn ChIlL bRoThEr"
The goofy smile returned to his face as I walked away with a quick "Coming your way!"
~15 minutes earlier~
The cafe just opened for the first time. Oh god
The first people to come in just had to be Jade and Vriska. I appreciate it of course! They're my friends and I know theyre here to support us, its just a little embarrassing for some of your best friends to see you in a maid dress. Not to mention the mask clearly going against my claim of not being a homosexual
Im sure that most of them know by now, ive shown some homosexual tendencies, but i can always spin the mask into some sort of an ally thing. Showing my support and all that.
Speaking of support
Jade and vriska
When they both got here jade and vriska were immediately seated, the cat troll was taking care of jade, and the taurus one with vriska.
If Im gonna work here i really should try harder to remember their names...
Tavros's pov
"oH HEY VRISKA, eR I MEAN,

"Hey taaaaaaaavros

"eRM, yEAH, kANAYA SAID IT FIT BETTER WITH THE THEME OF THE CAFE,"
"Oh? Well I like the theme then, all cat 8oys and guys in skirts.

"wELL, tHERES NOT JUST MEN WHO WORK HERE TOO,,

"Huh, I figured this was some kind of fem8oy thing..
Doesnt matter, can I just have a water while i look over the menu?"
"oF COURSE, iLL BE BACK WITH THAT"
John's pov
"Hes your faygo! Have you decided on what you want to eat yet?"
Gamzees eyes flickered towards vriska in the next table over
"I sTiLl HaVeNt QuItE mAdE mY mOtHeRfuCkIn MiNd Up YeT, bUt I dOnT tHiNk HaViN tAvBrO aNd VrIsKa ToGeThEr Is A gOoD iDeA-"
Tavros.. that names familiar
I think i've heard vriska mention him before?
Oh yeah hes that one who always annoyed her!
Oh
Oh god
"Oh god yeah you're right
Uhm
I'll get that situated one second!"
I quickly moved to the back, searching for one of the owners.
"Kanaya! Hey, so Tavros and Vriska got paired together and its not a good idea at all because Tavros is the one that vrisk-"
"I Know Who Tavros Is John
One Second Ill Take Care Of That"
She walked out of the room, I'll never understand how she can manage to always keep her composure..
After a few minutes I heard footsteps again and she was back.
"Okay You And Tavros Are Switching So Youll Be Serving Vriska Now, Youre Okay With That Right?"
"Oh yeah thats fine!"
Sweet! I'd been wanting to catch up with her lately. I made my way back to the table and introduced mysself like i did to gamzee.
"Hey joooooooohn I would say my name back but you already know me"
"Oh yeah of course I know you Vriska, they just have us say our name and prefered pronouns when we introduce ourselves!"
It looks like Tavros already got her a drink,
"So, have you decided what you want yet?"
I wrote down her order and made my way to the back, giving the order to kanaya.
I made my way our from the back just in time to see eridan walk through the door
Karkat walked over to take his order, but he wasnt having any of it.
"No, kar I wwant fef to servve me!"
"ERIDAN PLEASE MAN SHES NOT GONNA SERVE YOU, JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FOR A DRINK"
"But kar I wwant to talk to her"
"I TOTALLY GET THAT DUDE BUT SHE IS NOT GONNA WANT TO TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW
ESPECIALLY NOT HERE
SO COULD YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FOR A DRINK AND WE'LL MOVE ON? I HAVENT EVEN SAID MY MANDATORY PRONOUN SPEECH YET"
"As least I don't complain a8out my servers" Vriska whipsered beside me
"Wwell at least I don't havve to rely on making fun of people to keep up my self confidence!"
"Oh good lord don't get into this now i have so much shit I could call you out on here"
"Oh really? I wwould'vve thought you'd forgotten
Guess you do still care about me huh"
"Jegus, just accept 8t and move on! No ones into you dude
Not me
Not feferi
No one."
"Sounds oddly similar to something someone hiding pitch feelings wwould say
Awwe
Do you hate me~"
Vriska turned to me, and a wide smile spread across her space
"John, 8uddy, would you get me another glass of water, I'm just paaaaaaaarched"
"Oh uh, yeah of course!"
I hurried back and got her water, when I'd returned she grabbed it and walked over to eridan.
"I know you think youre all that, 8ut you 8ren't
You're just a smelly little fish 8oy
Remem8er that next time!" She said in a cheerful tone and poured the water on eridans head, messing up his hair and leaving him incredibly angry
"You fuckin-"
"Oh and," vriska said, cutting him off "we all know you wear eyeliner, you're fooling no one"
And with that she gave me 10 dollars for "the service and putting up with her shit" and left.
