You woke up the next day and walked to the front of the restaurant to the old man. He told you that you would just wash the dishes on that day which you didn't really complain about since you were terrible at cooking and couldn't speak in Japanese to take the customers' orders.

After the long day of just standing there washing the dishes and preparing the easy simple beverages, the old man came to you and gave you a note book and a pen.

"What is for for??" You asked

"Use it to feed the pigeons in the back yard" The man responded

Y/n: "huh????"

"ITS TO WRITE ON GODAMN IT" He screamed turning red

"WELL YEA I KNOW THAT BUT WHAT DO I WRTE IN IT!?" You snapped back

"YOU DIDNT EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GET TO THAT PART YET." He screamed in response

"Ok ok no need to shout." You replied calmly while rolling your eyes

The old man sighed irritatedly while unintentionally twitching his eye but still decided to speak

"Since your dumbass doesn't know how to speak the language, I decided to get you something to help you. Maybe then you'll be able to help in front with the customers."

You were kinda great full but being the bitch you were, you didn't wanna show him that so you told him that:

"Well I think I clearly know a decent amount of Japanese so I'm not really sure what you're talking about."

"Telling others how you are while telling them your name and age won't take you anywhere in life." -old man

"...I can also count to 100, see! Ichi, ni, san-" -Y/n

"Please don't." -old man


A few weeks passed and you were able to speak a little bit more of Japanese with obviously the help of your animes which was the only thing the old man was proud of knowing that he also grew up watching a lot of anime.

The old man finally decided to let you work at the counter seeing that you were able to keep a decent conversation with others which was good enough in the meantime.

It was a Saturday that day which was the least busiest day of the week normally. You stood there at the counter waiting in boredom hoping that you would finally get a customer.

Just as you crossed your arms and layed your head down on top of them on the table, you heard the entrance bell ding which obviously got you pretty excited. You looked up to see a boy who seemed to be a few years older approach you. He was pretty tall with black hair. You weren't gonna lie... he was pretty good looking.

He stopped in front of you and ordered his food which you were obviously really proud to understand. He then proceeded to ask for your name in Japanese which made you respond saying:

"Ehh..uhh... watashi wa..."
*I am...*

"Wait what do I say after that?" You mumbled to yourself panicking forgeting everything you have learned.

"You just say your name with 'desu' after that" the boy replied smiling

"Oh yea, ok so, watashi wa Y/n L/n desu"
*I am Y/n L/n*

"Haha nice to meet you L/n-chan" -boy

"Nice to meet you t- WAIT YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH!?" You said a little too loud and immediately hoped that the old man would either ignore or didn't hear you

"Yup! I'm still learning though just like how you still seem to be learning Japanese"

Just as you were about to continue the conversation, you saw the old man come to the front to deliver the food. You could see that they were pretty close and knew each other considering the way they were both talking to each other. You just stood there awkwardly switching your stare between the person speaking. You realized that they started talking about you which got you to try focusing more on understanding.

The boy suddenly averted his gaze onto you and stared at you wide eyed. He paused for a while before proceeding to say:

"Is it true... that you defeated that entire gang.... Alone???"

You didn't really want to say anything so you proceeded to just give him a simple nod. He then decided to change the subject to make it less awkward.

"If it's fine by your old man, would you mind me giving you a small simple tour of this area to help you maybe recognize it more?"

You looked at the old man who just gave you a thumbs up indicating that he was fine by it. "Just don't let her get into fights or get involved with that shitty gang of yours a long the way or else I'll be sure to have you come back with a bloody decapitated leg making sure you can't walk again." He added

"Yes sir!" The boy said laughing before making his way to the exit with his food.

"My name's Sano Shinichiro by the way. But you can just call me Shinichiro-kun!"


A/N: you finally got your first character; Shinichiro ‼︎ ...Now we just gotta bring up the rest..
