Hololive: Honey Flowers

Ch. 2 First in Line

As the clock just turned 6:00 am, Sana was already dressed as she turned off her alarm by her bed. Just like every normal morning Sana starts her prep work going for the bakery. Looking at the day's menu she saw that it was last week of school for the passing students. Sana smiles excitedly, wanting to congratulate the students that frequent her bakery. Knowing just what morning pastry to make to get the hyped for the final stretch. Sana made quick works with her ingredients. From cutting fresh fruit, whipping cream, and ready raised dough. With the shop time now at 6:45 her last batch of pastries were ready. Sana quickly started filling the shop with her with the breakfast pastries. Full of fresh and warm assorted breads.

From french toast, donuts, cream filled cranollies, melting cookies, muffins, and assorted breads for any to choose from. But there was a new special add-on to Sana's menu. It was just for her top customer. Sana could help but smile at the thought of how happy they will look when they see what Sana has made for them. Just as 7:00 hit, Sana opens the cafe door and just as she suspected. Her #1 customer was first in line.

Raora: "Morning Sana-senpai!"

Raora Panthera rushes in to give Sana a warm and friendly hug. Sana gratefully accepts the students affection. For the last 2 years, Raora and Sana have become close friends, and Sana's #1 customer. Always first to arrive and last to leave. Raora would even come and work part time during the holiday seasons.

Sana: "Raora! Its so good to see you again. Quickly come in! I have something special to show you!"

This gain Raora's attention as she enters the bakery. Raora could never get enough of the freshly baked smells of the bakery.

Sana: "Here, wait here. I'll go and get them. They should be finished cooking by now."

Sana's bright and warm smile, always warmed the many hearts of others. Raora couldn't help but to feel shy sometimes whenever she saw that small. Causing her cheeks to turn pink with a light blush. As Sana left the room, Raora couldn't help but to turn to her school bag and look at a small gift for Sana. After thinking long and hard for what to give her beloved senpai. Raora couldn't help but to feel excited to try and finally confess her feelings. It was still pretty early for customers to start showing up. So now would be the perfect time for her confession.

Sana: "Alright! Now presenting the first of its kind! Dun-Da-Da! Chattinies Cantuccis!"

Sana help out a tray of Raora's favorite cartoon mascot, made out of cantucci bread. Her childhood favorite pastry made into her now favorite animal. Raora couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Sana: "After how you were telling me that this was your last year of school. I couldn't help but want to do something special to congratulate you on your last week of school. Well what do you think? I feel like the rest of the kids around here will like them as well."

Raora couldn't help but to feel so grateful towards Sana. For always being there for her and looking out for her the past couple of years.

Raora: "They look and smell Amazing Sana-senpai!"

Sana: "That's great to hear. At first I had trouble aligning the various types of nuts to have them look like the spots on the character's face. But they really did turn out great."

Sana started setting them up as today's special item. Raora smiles at such a wonderful and thoughtful gift that her Senpai made for her. She knew deep down in her heart that she was really in love with Sana. But she could never really tell how Sana herself felt about her. She's seen so many other girls and guys flirt and confess to her. But she always turned them down or had no clue that they were hitting on her. Raora always wanted to confess to Sana, but was always worried that she would also be rejected. However this time, this time Raora was ready! She'll be graduating soon, and she was finally of age to ask Sana to be her girlfriend.

Raora: "A-Actually! S-Sana-senpai, I also have something I want..."

Ding-Dong~

Sana and Raora both turned to the front of the store to see Fauna Ceres enter.

Fauna: "Ah, sorry is the bakery not open yet?"

Raora was stunned by the beautiful lady who just entered the store. Raora was a little upset by the sudden interruption. But not much can be done, the bakery was open for business.

Sana: "A-Ah! F-Fauna! Yes! We are open, sorry let me set these down really quick."

Sana's sudden flustered, caught Raora's attention. She never seen Sana act so hesitant. Fauna took notice of the chattinie bread and smiled at how cute they looked. Causing Sana to be lost in thought.

Fauna: "Is this a new item for today?"

Sana: "Ah yes, its the students last week of school and I thought it would be a good idea to cheer them on for their final days. Would you like one?"

Fauna couldn't help but to look at the student Raora, who was staring her down and looking at Sana. As if putting the pieces together of what might be happening when she suddenly enters.

Fauna: "No, I'm alright. But I would like some more cinnamon bun like the ones you gave me last time, and a cup of green tea."

Sana felt bad for Fauna cause she didn't prepare any cinnamon buns for today.

Sana: "Ah, sorry. I wasn't able to prepare any for today..."

Fauna couldn't help but see a sad puppy dog before her and couldn't help but find her a bit charming.

Fauna: "...then how about I take a couple of your to go apple pies for today?"

Sana quickly light back up with excitement and started to place 3 pies into a to go bag and left to pour a cup of green tea. With Sana in the kitchen, Fauna could still feel Raora's eyes digging into her back.

Fauna: "...look. Im sorry for suddenly interrupting your confession. But you don't have to worry, there's nothing going on between us. I just opened my flower shop from across the street. I only got to know Sana by her welcoming me to the shopping district. We're nothing more than acquaintances."

Raora's face suddenly erupted into a hot mess having been found out by a complete stranger. She really didn't like this lady, she seemed to full of herself and rude for pointing out her feelings before she could even confess.

Sana: "Here you go Fauna, sorry for the wait. I had to open a new pack of the green tea that you liked."

Sana saw that there was a new awkward feeling in the air.

Sana: "Did something happen?"

Sana was starting to worry that the two might have said something to the other. But Fauna just let out a small little laugh at how cute the two of them were acting. Sana to act like an over protective sister of this high schooler, while the high schooler was deeply infatuated with Sana. Fauna and started to pay for her items.

Fauna: "No nothings wrong. I'll pay with card."

Sana started to relax as she rang up Fauna's amount. Raora still flet flustered with Fauna as she left. With Fauna gone it seemed that the morning rush was starting to come in, leaving Raora unable to confess today. But that didn't mean that Raora was going to give up. Raora felt more determined to get Sana to fall for her and confidently confess her feelings to Sana. Before another rude interruption happens.
