kazuha had been wiping a table when the café's bell rang, leaving a loud sound reverberating throughout the entire building.
the sun had just risen, so the café was fairly empty as it usually was at this time. however, the customer who had just entered was a rather unwelcomed one.
tomo had also decided to lounge at the café today until it was near his own job's shift. he was currently sitting at one of the tables near the counter, facing away from the door.
at the sound of the bell, kazuha automatically turned to take a look at who it was, while tomo was occupied scrolling through his phone.
though, the male's eyes slightly widened at the sight of who had just sauntered in the café as if it was a usual occurrence for them. or specifically, for her.
indeed the very presence of the magenta haired lady was enough to put the platinum headed male at unease. similar to when scaramouche made an appearance.
she walked to the counter and waited for someone to take her order. since heizou's shift hadn't started yet, it was kazuha's duty to do so. and their usual cashier was yet to arrive.
he took in a deep breath, before walking behind the counter and flashing her a very forced smile. "what would you like to order?"
"one dark coffee. to go." the tone of her voice hadn't changed at all. it was still as stern and harsh as before. not a single hint of insecurity.
kazuha nodded slowly, writing down her order and informing her of the bill. she took out her wallet and paid accordingly.
by now, tomo had noticed her as he heard her voice and the sudden anxiety that swarmed over him made his stomach churn. still, he had his gaze locked on his phone.
once she had finished paying, kazuha turned around to prepare her coffee. the shogun watched as he worked and placed a finger on her chin. "i wanted to speak to you about something, kaedehara."
kazuha flinched, almost dropping the coffee cup. luckily, he managed to catch it in time. after letting out a relieved sigh, he turned to face her. "yeah?"
"i have a proposition for you," she stated with false kindness. kazuha had noticed her tone altered. "i'm not interested," he right away rejected.
she raised a brow, crossing her arms. "you won't even care to listen?"
"i'm assuming your proposition is the same one as your brother's. if that's the case, then i'm not interested."
