Meeting Tamaki

Roe's p.o.v.

I had just got to work, and boy was it slow when I arrived. I work at a small Café called The Spot, it was ok money but the hours made it prime.

See I go to school full time.  Basically my day is take Ariel to mom's, go to college, go to work, get Ariel, Dinner, baths playtime then bedtime and more college classes online before bed. Minus the two days off a week which are always me and Ariel.

The location is great to cause the owner rents me the apartment upstairs.  The owners liked me, mostly cause people said they came back cause I was always so sweet to them and the sweets were yummy. I was hoping to someday open my own café to support me and my daughter.

So this was good for learning the ropes.

I was wiping the counters when he came in. He'd been a regular since starting at my college.  Always polite, and smiled. Tipped good and he has this soft looking blond hair and violet eyes a girl could get lost in. But he seemed sad and today his eyes were hiding it really well.

I'd also noticed it in class as his shoulders had an uncharacteristic slump.   He came up to the counter so I made sure to smile warmly cause he looked like he needed it.

"Hello, how can I help you today?", I say as he looks up at the menu I think he wants to cry but he's hiding it with a fake smile today.

"I'll just have a Mocha Latte, and a red velvet cupcake please.", he says in that accent I love to hear. Hey I have a thing for accents.

"Right up, how about you take a seat and I'll bring it over since it's so slow.", I say as I ring him up before getting his order.

"Thank you very much.", he says before sitting down and just staring off.

I make his drink quickly and grab his cake resolving to try to help. I know I hardly know him, but I can't stand seeing him so sad.

He's like a little puppy you just wanna hug.

I set it in front of him as he looks up at me to thank me as our eyes lock. "You know, I see you around a lot Mr.Souh, and I couldn't help noticing how sad you seem today.", I say as his eyes widen in surprise as I let the concern show in my voice "So I know you don't know me well, but maybe you could tell me what's got you so down.  Maybe you'll feel better."

He then looks down a moment, "I  don't think you want me to trouble you, I'm told I do that a lot.", he says.

"Yes but I asked, and it's gonna trouble me more if I don't try and help when your giving me an uncharacteristic fake smile today.", I say .

"How?", he says .

"Usually when you smile it's this dazzling thing that reaches to your eyes.", I say sitting next to him placing my chin on my hands "Now if you really don't wanna trouble me you'll tell me what's wrong so I'm not up all night concerned and have to go to school with larger dark circles then normal."

Tamaki's p.o.v.

I stared at the café worker as she looked at me with those kind eyes full of concern. I'd found this café on accident one day and loved the cheery disposition of the staff and the food was good.  This girl was I knew from observing generally has a cheery disposition, and I've seen her help older couples carry there orders out, or talk to younger kids that were upset.
