"Thank you! Come again!"
Kazutora sighed and pressed his forehead against the checkout counter. It had been another exhausting day of work. Earlier, a customer got a bit heated when he said that they were out of a certain pet food, and things almost got physical. Luckily, Chifuyu managed to appease the customer. It was something that Kazutora was still trying to learn how to do.
The bell at the door jingled, signaling that a new customer had entered. He scrunched up his face and glanced at his phone. It was a little past nine o'clock. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the store just closed. Please come back tomorrow." He announced the rehearsed response in a monotone. Instead of listening, the customer walked up to the counter. Slightly annoyed, Kazutora lifted his head. "Did you not hear me-" He paused. Girl.
He was okay with being rude to guys, but not girls. She looked a bit timid too. Her hands were fiddling with a set of keys that hung from the lanyard around her neck. He narrowed his eyes and saw Chifuyu's keychain hanging off it. "Hey, where'd you get that lanyard?" He asked with a forceful tone. He didn't mean to sound so pushy, but he couldn't help it.
The girl looked startled, and she avoided eye contact. "Um, Fuyu said that I could wait inside for him. So, um, that's why he gave me the keys." Kazutora raised an eyebrow. Fuyu? Really?
He looked at her for a few more seconds before grabbing his phone and opening his messages with Chifuyu. Without looking up from the screen, he questioned her again. "And what's your name? I haven't seen around here before." She hesitated a bit and looked around anxiously. "Y/n. Matsuno Y/n." Kazutora froze just as he was about to press send. He looked up and met her eyes. She looked away again.
"Matsuno? You're related to Chifuyu?" She nodded her head and continued to fidget with the keys. "He's my brother. My twin to be more specific. Although, we're not identical. You probably already figured that out. Sorry. . ." She trailed off towards the end. Her voice was a whisper, and Kazutora could barely understand her.
"Jeez. . ." He mumbled to himself as he stood up and stepped out from behind the counter. Y/n immediately stepped away from him and made herself smaller than she already was. "Are you okay-" "Ah!" She practically squeaked in surprise. Kazutora fell silent and realization dawned on him. So it's like that. . .
He stepped away from her to create more distance between them. Just then he felt one of the cats brush against his leg. This gave him an idea. He sat down where he was with his legs crisscrossed. The cat nudged him affectionately, and he picked it up. It meowed softly as he placed it in his lap. For the time being, he completely ignored Y/n. Silently, he pet the cat, calmly listening to its purrs.
