Omega Virus

Sweet Treats

   Professor X pulls up in front of the café and Y shakes his head. The Professor shrugs, knowing that Y is going to scold him.

"I can walk babe. My shift doesn't start for over an hour." Y says, unbuckling his seatbelt to lean over and kiss the Professor. "You'll barely make in on time. Go. I love you."

"Mn. I love you too." Professor X says, pulling Y back over for one last kiss before letting him go. "I'll pick you up later. Have a good first day baby."

"Thanks. See you later." Y pecks one more quick kiss on the Professor's cheek and exits the car. He laughs and shakes his head, practically having to shoo the car away. "He's to much." He mumbles, heading inside the café.

"Oh my, you're here early!" Izzy says, smiling as she sets out pastries and cakes.

"Oh, have you been busy this morning?" Y asks, noticing it's more crowded than the day before.

"Mn, word got around campus about the excitement from yesterday." Izzy bites her lip, hoping this doesn't make him uncomfortable. "You know, these students are busy bodies." She shakes her head. "So, come on back. You might as well start to get familiar with things. Oh, I'll introduce you to our baker too." She pokes her head through a curtain to the side. "Jessie, come meet our new employee."

   A woman in her mid-thirties steps out from behind the curtain. She's short and painfully thin, with ebony skin and eyes the color of copper. She's wearing a hairnet and a chef's cap and she gives Y and shy nod.

"Jessie is, super shy. But, she's an incredible pastry chef. I got lucky when I snagged her." Izzy says, Jessie shaking her head and blushing.

"No, I got lucky. Izzy gave me a job, even though I didn't finish pastry school." Jessie says, smiling. "She took a chance on a shy misfit. Not many people would do that."

"Hm, we misfits need to stay together." Y winks and both women giggle. "I'm an omega. I'm a misfit myself." He says nonchalantly, looking at the pastries and looking back at Jessie. "You make all of these yourself?"

"Mn. I had a helper, one of the part-timers, but he was more interested in flirting than helping." Jessie says, annoyed.

"Hmm, it might not be much help... but my boyfriend will be dropping me off at least an hour before my shifts." Y says, Izzy nearly vibrating as she bounces excitedly and shakes Jessie's arm. "I'd love to help and maybe learn? I promise not to flirt. I'm a gay omega in a committed relationship."

"Really? You'd be willing to come a bit early everyday to help?" Jessie asks, looking at Izzy in disbelief.

"Mn. Sure." Y smiles, looking back at the case. "Besides, maybe I'll get to taste test some goodies once in awhile." They all laugh, a customer stepping up to the counter.

"Hello, what can we get for you?" Izzy asks, stepping back to the register. The customer, a young woman glances at Y. "Miss?"

"Uhm, you're him, aren't you? The omega from tv? You work here?" The young woman asks, pointing to a chocolate chip muffin that Izzy rings up.

"I am and I do. But it's my first day, so go easy on me?" Y asks, Izzy pulling him over to show him how to use the register.

"Wow. You're, so cool." The young woman blushes, paying for her muffin. "I've never actually met an omega before, are they all... so handsome?"

"Hm, I haven't met to many myself. But thanks for the compliment and come see us again." Y says, giving Izzy a nervous look as the woman turns away.

"Hm, having you behind the counter just might be good for business." Izzy laughs, shooing him into the kitchen with Jessie. "Why don't learn where things are back there. I'll call you just before your shift starts. I think, you might be busy today."
