ep. 3

"What's up?" A tall male with a long blonde ponytail busy cleaning tables asked after hearing the bell ringing at the entrance opening of his shop.

Mikey's lips curled in a slight smile, approaching two familiar friends, one cleaning the table and another sitting on the barstool and sipping a coffee. "Ken-chin."

As one heard his voice and turned to him with a big beam, "Ho—?! Mikey, you're here as well!"

Mikey chuckled lightly at his easily amused friend, stepping towards the empty barstool beside him. "Good to hear from you again after a while, Takemitchy."

Hanagaki ruffled his own hair to ease up his stiff position, "Me too! We got so busy that I wasn't able to make time to see you!" He cupped his cup of coffee.

Sano grinned before slapping his close friend's back and settling down on the chair. "Don't worry about it. What's your job now with this fancy suit?"

The black curly-haired male looked down at his formal dark blue suit, black necktie, and a white blouse before looking back up to his friend with an antsy grin, "Y- Yeah, ehh, I'm kinda nervous about my first day of working as an accountant!"

The short blonde-haired friend raised his brows impressed and proud, flashing a cheeky smile at him. "You're gonna do great, Takemitchy. When do you have to go to your job? Isn't now the time?"

Takemicchi looked down at his new digital watch, sounding a bit more nervous. "N- No, uhh, it starts in thirty minutes, um, but I'm gonna go in five minutes."

Draken cut in, "Mikey, don't do that." walking up to the counter where they sat and tsk-ed at his childish friend as he fixed his apron. "You're making him even more nervous."

Mikey nearly rolled his eyes but decided not to say anything about it. Draken leaned forward to the anxious newbie accountant with a reassuring remark. "Y'look great. It's gonna work out well. I mean, it has to if you give your best."

Hanagaki's lips lifted in relief, "Thank you, Draken! It means much to me." fixing his eyes on his friend behind the counter. The tall man smiled at his gratitude.

Manjiro looked between them in silence. "Sorry to ruin the homo moment, newlyweds, but I want my drink."

That snapped both of their attention in terror and slight irritant; Takemicchi stammering in bewilderment, "What?! N- Ne- Newlyweds?!"

"God fucking damn it, Mikey!" Draken exclaimed incredulously, grimacing at the one laughing at them before Ken threw the used cleaning cloth at Mikey's face. "Why can't I just comfort my friend on his first day job after you've made him nervous?!"

"You aren't supposed to treat your customer like that, Ken-chin." Mikey dodged the shot, chuckling in a teasing manner, "Damn, I was just joking."

Takemicchi checked his watch, his brows rising, "I- I think it's for me to go!" he picked the suitcase from the floor after getting off the barstool. He rushed to the exit, turning to two friends to wave his unoccupied hand to them. "It was nice talking to you Draken and Mikey! Thank you for the drink!"

After that, the door closed and Takemicchi's form departed further in rush, Mikey glanced at his indifferent friend behind the counter preparing Mikey's usual drink. "Was the drink for free?"

Draken creased his forehead in thought, not understanding what he meant. "Yeah. Why?"

Manjiro propped up his elbows on the counter and directed the gesture to Ken.

It took Ken a minute to realize that. Before turning his expression into refusal and shaking his head. "No. You're paying because you made me open up my cafe in the earliest morning for your date with your girlfriend." With that being said, he placed the drink on the counter.

Ken repeated, "Four in the morning, Mikey. Four in the morning. Think about my sleeping hours."

Sano narrowed his brows in a slight offense, "That's a different thing; I love my girl and it's my job to court her like this. I'm all ears if you have some suggestions someplace more romantic to take her out to."

Ken pressed his fingers against the bridge of his brows in regret for bringing it up, "Oh... my god." knowing where it was going when it's Y/N.

Manjiro continued, not caring about Ken's facial reactions. "I love her so much, she's mine, of course. I have to make her enjoy our time together, take care of her, and spoil her with lots of love. That's what girls, in general, like the most, right? Not that I care about other girls apart from my Y/N. She's the one for me."

It was now Draken's turn to sigh out of exhaustion.

"Spoiling her? You mean, making her pamper you whenever you act like a kid?" Ken asked, revealing aloud what others always wanted to tell him.

"Most of the time it's her taking care of you—" Draken stopped himself.

Manjiro stayed silent with his mouth forming an 'o' for a moment to proceed that his tall friend exposed him that he didn't consent.

'Crap, maybe I've said too much?' Ken thought to himself.

Draken stared back at his black-eyed friend.

The silence lasted longer than he anticipated, the doubt in the mix with concern growing on him as the moment prolonged.

"Mikey? Are you lagging?"

That was until they heard the bell ringing from the entrance, "Oh," Draken instantly worked up on his mode and welcomed customers into his cafe with a gentle smile. "welcome to the Toka-Revengers Cafe. What would you like?"

Mikey glanced at randos entering the cafe and taking their seat before noticing that Draken was already with them with a notepad and a pen in his hands taking the girl's orders in front of the counter.

Mikey took his drink and sipped slowly whilst indulging himself in deep thought, 'I wonder how's Y/N doing? I miss her already.'

He took out his phone, swiping up on his contact with her.

'I'ma message her that she owes me cuddles and lots of kisses after her classes.' His thumb typed aloud what he thought, pressing the send button to her after two unread messages from him.

Manjiro subconsciously pursed up his lips in hope at the thought of Y/N giving her boyfriend kisses. 'I hope she doesn't mind spoiling me.'
