Bartender-san.

Hello Again

After you meet the pretty attractive bartender back a few weeks ago, you haven't met him again ever since. Once you come to the bar, you didn't see him anywhere. One of the bartender told you that Shizuo got fired and he doesn't know where he works now. You felt disappointed, your first intention here was to meet Shizuo, but again, you can't do anything about it. 

A month has passed now, you /almost/ forget about him. Today is your day off, the weather was nice and you decided to go out. As you walk, you can see the Yellow Scarves around, hearing some gossip about the Black Rider and stuff. Ten minutes of a peaceful walk, you arrived to the Russia Sushi. Simon is your old acquaintance whose never give up for persuading you to go eat at the Russia Sushi, telling you the sushi isn't that bad. Well, today is your first day here to taste it. 

Simon is greeting you in his usual odd russian accent as you took a seat in front of the counter. He gave you the menu, whilst suggesting you some sushi. But you didn't listen to him, instead you tilt your head and notices a man sitting beside you, he seems to wait for his food. Maybe I should ask him for a recommendation? You thought for a moment, then encouraging yourself to ask the stranger. 

"Um, excuse me," You called, poking innocently at his shoulder. He's wearing a bartender uniform, and a blue tinted glasses is sitting on the edge of his nose. "Bartender-san?" The nickname reminds you of Shizuo. 

The man beside you slowly turned his head towards you, a stern look on his face as his eyes met yours. At that very moment, you've realized that you know him. A month ago, you meet him, at the bar. 

"Heiwajima-kun?" You didn't sure what to call him, so you think it's safe to call him by his family name. 

He remains silent, seems like he was trying to remember your features. Then, after a few moment he hesitantly say your name. It is surprised you that he remembers your name. 

"Oh, you remember me!" Your voice sounded very cheerful, your face lit up and a bright smile made its way onto your lips. 

"Yeah," He murmured as he adjusted his glasses. 

"How are you, Heiwajima-kun?" You asked casually. 

"I'm fine," He answered calmly, then he averted his gaze from your features. "Shizuo it's fine." 

You blinked, this is your second meeting with him and he told you calling him by his given name it's fine. You two talked for a moment before you finally remember that you wanted to ask him about his job and a recommendation of sushi for you. He told you that he got fired and now he has a job again, but he didn't tell you what the job is. After that he suggested you some sushi. 

His job somehow makes you curious, and you couldn't help to ask. "Um, so you're still a bartender?" 

"No." 

"Oh." A brief pause, you wonder why he wore a bartender uniform. "Then why-" 

"My brother give this uniform to me, he told me to not changing my job so fast. But eventually I got fired, and I had to get another job again." He explains shortly.

You didn't ask furthermore question about it, you thought that he maybe was just wearing the uniform because his brother give it to him. Before you could say anything to respond, Simon approaches you and set your food and his on the table. 

"Sushi for (Name). and sushi for Shizuo." He said with his odd accent. "Sushi is good for a young couple, Shizuo and (Name)." 

"I'm not-" 

The slightest reddish tint accros his face didn't go unnoticed by you. 

"We're not like that." 

You too, however, felt your face heated up as you pouted. "We're not.." 

"Embarrassed? You two are  a perfect couple, a discount for Shizuo and his girlfriend, (Name)!" 

As Simon left, you couldn't help but flushed brighter. Shizuo murmured a small apologize, but you both actually have a more nicer and interesting conversation after that. You did ask for his number, and you know you felt something warm right in your chest as he smiled genuinely at you.
