~Reader's P.O.V~

I woke up earlier today to set up the Tea Shop because I offered to set up so they could get more sleep. I tied my hair in a high bun on my hair and wore a simple dress with an apron and wore brown flats. I went downstairs and got all the teas ready and prepared all the water. It didn't long to finish, after I was done, I flipped the 'closed' sign to 'open' and went to sit down at the behind the counter and wait for customers.

"Good Morning Allen!" I said as a customer walked in the shop. Allen was a friend I made while I was working at the shop. He would run errands for his mom and he would always come get tea here.

"Hey (F/N)! What's Up?" He replied.

"Not much, just came back from Earl Phantomhives not to long ago." I replied.

"Really? Cool." He replied.

"So what can I help you with? Your regular?" I asked.

"Yes please! Also mom told me to come check on you because we heard you were sick." Allen asked.

"Oh, I'm a lot better now thank you! How's mom doing?" I asked. Allen and I have gotten close so I call his mom 'mom'. They don't mind it.

"She's been doing better also, I'm so happy for her!" Allen replied.

"Really? That's good to hear." I said happily as I finished his order.

"Well, here you go! Enjoy!" I said as I handed him the bag and he gave me the correct change.

"Do you mind if I stay here a little longer to talk with you? I want to catch up on the things we've missed." Allen said. It kinda surprised me but it didn't bother me at all.

"Sure thing! You can just sit right there if you want." I said as I pointed to a chair in front of the counter. I leaned forward on my elbows.

"So, do you have anything specific to talk about?" I asked. He blushed and looked down.

"Well..yeah." Allen said. I looked at him signalling him to go on.

"There's this girl I met, she works at a stand in town. She's really pretty and I really like her." He said.

"Really? Why haven't you told me yet?!" I whined pulling on his arm.

"Sorry! Sorry!" He laughed.

"Hey, it's still day time, you wanna go check on her?" I asked.

"Right n-now?" He asked nervously. I nodded really quick.

"Yeah right now!" I replied as I hopped off of the stool.

"Michelle?" I asked as I popped my head into the kitchen.

"Yeah?" She said as she looked up.

"Allen's here and he has this girl problem and I was wondering if I could go help him with this problem. She's in town right now. I wanted to go see her." I said and Allen popped up behind me, he's a lot taller than me too.

"Oh, hello Allen! Sure, you two can go. You've worked hard already today (F/N), feel free to take the rest of the day off." Michelle said with a warm smile.

"Thank you!" I replied as I skipped to the door.

"Come on Allen! Show me the way!" I said happily.

"Okay, Let's go." He replied.

--------------------------------------------------

"Right there." Allen said quietly as we hid behind a bush.

"The one with blonde hair?" I asked. He shook his head.

"The one with black hair." He said pointing my fingers to a girl around our age with black hair.

"Wahh~" I said as I looked at her. She had black hair that was in a side braid, big black eyes, a perfect face and cute small lips.

"She's cute isn't she?" Allen said as he adored her some more. I nodded really fast.

"You should go talk to her!" I said slapping his shoulder.

"Ehh? I c-can't. I'm too nervous!" Allen said covering his face.

"Stop being such a girl! I'll do the talking then! Come on!" I said as I stood up and pulled him with me.

"F-fine.." He replied. We walked over to the stand where she worked and I acted casual by looking at their stuff.

"Good morning miss! Is there anything I can help you with today?" She asked very politely. 'So cute and nice!!' I said in my head.

"Thank you, but i'm just looking around." I replied with a big smile.

"Oh, are you two dating?" She asked.

"Wha? Oh! no, no no! We're-"

"Siblings?" She asked as she cut me off.

"Sure, you can call us that." I smiled as I hung my arm around his shoulder and pulled him to our my height.

"Really? What a height difference!" She said as she admired our height.

"My name is (F/N) and this is Allen." I said introducing us.

"Oh, hello (F/N), Allen. My name's Maria." She said with a cute smile. I looked over to Allen and he was already red.

"Allen's a little shy but I know alot about him. He's 17 and he likes cute cafes." I said.

"(F-F/N)! Don't tell people that! It's embarrassing!" Allen said.

"Really? I like cute cafes too! I'm 16." Maria replied with another cute smile.

"Which one's your favorite?" Allen asked.

"The one on 'Lunderdale' street. 'Spring Cafe'." Maria replied.

"M-me too!" Allen replied.

"Really? It's so cool to find someone with the same interests as me!" Maria said with a chuckle.

"I'll leave you here, have fun!" I whispered to Allen.

"Thanks!" He whispered back. I walked around town looking at the cute little shops and then I noticed a boy with dark blue hair. Ciel. I ran over to him calling his name.

"Ciel! Ciel!" I yelled as I was running to him. He turned around and I engulfed him in a little hug.

"(F-F/N)? What are you doing here?" Ciel asked as we pulled out of the hug.

"I was helping my friend Allen with a relationship thing. I think I got something going between them too." I said as I gave him a big smile.

"Is that so?" Ciel replied.

"What are you doing in town?" I asked.

"Buisness." Ciel said.

"Mind if I tagged along?" I asked. Ciel looked to Sebastian and Sebastian smiled at him.

"I suppose." He said.

"Thanks!" I replied. We continued to walk, side by side after that.
