_____________

You checked the time - only a couple of hours to go until the end of your shift at midnight exactly. You let out a sigh. The convenience store you worked at was quiet for now, but usually around this time was when the seedier customers started to pour in - either overly loud and rowdy, or aggressively committed to getting your phone number. It didn't help that your male and much larger coworker who usually took over starting now had left early after blowing chunks for five minutes straight in the staff bathroom. You were a little nervous for this reason, as he usually cut in when things got out of hand, but the surveillance cameras overhead and the rifle hidden below the cash register gave you a bit of courage. You would be able to leave soon anyway.

From outside the store, you could hear raucous laughter, possibly louder than you had heard in the past few days. Great. Looking outside, you saw a couple of people approaching, and hoped that they would be reasonable customers, even if they were noisy.

The first one to file in was a man about six feet tall, dressed oddly traditionally to be in a big city with an unamused expression. He couldn't have been the one laughing, he looked too done with life to laugh so unabashedly. With him, came a blonde-haired, green-eyed young man who looked like he could be anywhere from late teens to mid twenties, with a cheerful smile that strongly contrasted with the man clad in the robe. Thankfully, the two looked like they wouldn't bother you; your eyes met and you acknowledged them with a nod and they went ahead to collect the items they'd come from. You made the mistake of returning to your daydream, then were jolted back to reality by the boisterous laughter once again.

"Was it too soon guys? Nobu, don't be upset! Hahaha!"

You looked to the entrance to see possibly the largest human being you'd ever seen, if he was a human being... he looked more like a cross between a lion and a bear with long, spiked hair, the most impressive sideburns you had ever seen and thick, bushy eyebrows. He was hairy throughout, bronzed, and incredibly well-built, like every muscle in his body had been developed for survival and conquest. It didn't help that he was literally dressed like a caveman, in a white tank top and... was that an actual pelt wrapped around his waist?

"Oh! Look what we have here."

Shit, he caught me staring, you thought.

His grin grew wide, revealing rows of gleaming white teeth, as he approached you at the register. He was so tall, you wondered how he had even made it through the doorway and your body froze up in fear like you were a prey animal.

"Uvogin, what type of beer do you want?!" The younger man called out to his companion, without turning to look at the two of you. The mountain of a man now in front of you was at the register, leaning in, taking a good look at your face. You didn't know where to run if you needed to.

Please come get your friend, please come get your friend, you thought in your head.

"Surprise me!" He yelled back, not taking his eyes off of you. You felt yourself trembling at the heaviness of his gaze, but fixed some courage enough to say something. You cowering in front of a customer wouldn't help.

"C-can I help you, sir?" You asked, hoping your voice didn't convey your apprehension.

"Yeah, you can help me." His voice was surprisingly smoother than you expected. Now that he was closer, even though he looked like he spent more than a few nights in the woods, he had a pleasant earthy smell only slightly muted by sweat.

"What's your name?"

Before you could respond, you heard the other man he had come in with scream from the back of the store.

"Look at her badge, idiot! She's wearing a fucking badge!"

"Shut up Nobunaga, before I bash your skull in!" He barked back, but then turned to you with a sheepish grin.

Seeing him react like this was somewhat disarming, and you could feel your quickened heartbeat slow down just a bit. You didn't want to judge based on appearances, maybe you should give him a chance. The longer you looked at him, the more attractive he became, and now your heartbeat was fast for another reason.

He did take the time now to look at your badge, or was it an excuse to quickly check you out? You weren't sure and you didn't care. He gave you a confident and warm smile.

"___, how about you be mine?"

Without thinking, the word "yes" fell off your lips.
