French Lady

The team was all at France during the Paris Olympics 2024.

"You guys can explore through Paris today, okay?" Coach Blain said as the team happily nodded.

"D-does anyone in this room speak French?" Yuki asked.

No one answered.

Yuki bit his lip, "guess we'll have to be lucky enough to run into someone Japanese."

The team soon arrived at a small cafe.

They made their way up to the kind-looking young lady who smiled at them.

"Bonjour, monsieurs! Que voulez-vous commander?" She asked as the team stared up at her in blank confusion.

"B-bon jour?" Ran offered with a pained smile.

"Oh, vous ne comprendez pas. Ce n'est pas grave!" The young lady said as she switched languages.

"Hello, sirs! What would you like to order?" She asked in perfect English.

She was then met with some broken English as Yuki tried to communicate with her.

"Um...eh, coffee, pot chocolate," He tried.

The lady sighed as she switched languages once again, this time, to Chinese.

"你好，先生们 您要点什么?" She said.

She was met with even confused expressions as she prayed once last time.

"こんにちは ご注文は？" She tried.

This time, she was met with a quick.

"Ah finally! Gomen, we are Japanese and we literally cannot understand any other language!" Yuki said as he bowed to the lady.

"It's fine, lucky enough, I do know Japanese," The lady smiled happily.

"Thanks so much for being so patient with us," Yuji smiled as he asked, "what's your name?"

"My name is Y/N L/N, it's nice to meet you," Y/N bowed, "now what would you like to order?"

"Ten coffees with 50% milk and 4 hot chocolates please!" Yuki asked as Y/N smiled before she went to prepare their order.

"Thank goodness the lady knows Japanese," Yuki sighed in relief.

"Sh-she's pretty," Akihiro smiled as he looked at Y/N working on their order.

"Do you have a crush on her, Aki-senpai?" Ran teased as he poked Akihiro's cheek.

"M-maybe," Akihiro said as he continued to look at the lady.

"Aki-senpai, she looks a good young twenty to me and you're thirty-one," Yuji said loudly as Y/N stared at the group in amusement.

She came over, carrying all of their orders as she said, "here are your order, sirs."

Akihiro blushed when Y/N put the cup in front of him.

"And I'm thirty, but thank you for the compliment," Y/N smiled as she walked away to tend to the other customers.

"She's so pretty and kind," Akihiro stared mesmerizingly at the young woman.

"Y/N!" a voice called to her when she was roaming the streets.

It was Akihiro.

"Konnichiwa," Y/N smiled as she tilted her head up to see Akihiro's face, "what are you doing here? Where is your big group of friends?"

"They're my teammates," Akihiro admitted, "but yeah, my best brothers."

"Ah, so you're on a sports team or something?" Y/N asked curiously.

"Yes, for volleyball. We represent Japan," Akihiro said.

"Waaah, oh wait, that's why he looked so familiar!" Y/N exclaimed.

"Who?" Akihiro asked.

"Yuki Ishikawa! He was the one talked to me, trying to order," Y/N laughed.

Akihiro pouted.

"And you're, I remember...." Y/N said, trying to remember his name, "you're Yamauchi-san!"

Akihiro's grin widened, "Hai."

"Your blocks are great, I saw on YouTube," Y/N complimented as the two continued to talk like they were old friends.

"Aren't you getting close to Y/N-san?" Ran teased his older teammate.

Akihiro blushed, "I'm sure she doesn't feel that---"

"Now what?" Y/N asked as she stood by the door, holding a gift bag in her left hand.

"My job here is done," Ran declared as he left the room.

"I-I-I like you, Y/N, ever since that day when you talked to Yuki-san," Akihiro admitted, his cheeks flaming red.

"I like you too, Akihiro, I think you're a wonderful human being," Y/N smiled brightly as she leaned up to kiss his cheek.
