Thriving Heart (Zenix x Reader) |Book Two| [HOLD]

A Change of Plans

Zenix's POV

They're all in sour moods, I can tell, but that's not my fault. I'm just that annoying guy with a frying pan. Y/N is in the kitchen, probably making something, but then I realize she's just in there texting.
"Who are you texting?" I ask her as I walk into the room. She puts her phone at her side.
"Gene."
"Why?"
"He needs to help us!" She yells, throwing her arms in the air, "He can make them all pancakes or something! I have to go help Kawaii~Chan out with something this morning..." She puts her phone in her pocket and I realize that she's dressed nicely. I also notice I forgot to put a shirt on........

Whatever.

"Well don't need to ask Gene! I can deal with these guys," I reply confidently and Y/N crosses her arms,
"You can't cook."
"True. But I can use the power of going out for breakfast! Look, I'll take them to like, iHOP or something."
"Hmmm," Y/N thinks for a second, "Okay, fine. I'll be back around four o'clock from helping Kawaii~Chan."
"Great," I nod and Y/N goes to kiss my cheek. "Wait." She backs up.
"What?" Y/N looks confused, but when I kiss her on the lips, she wraps her arms around my neck and kisses back. When we break the kiss, we touch our foreheads to each other.
"Okay..." I whisper, "I like that better."
"Me too..." Y/N murmurs and kisses my cheek before leaving the room. I must be beaming because when Dante comes into the room, he asks,
"What happened, buddy?"
"Oh, nothing," I reply casually.
"Well no need to show off your six-pack, Zenix," Dante crosses his arms and I look down again.

Still don't care.

Y/N's POV

Oh my Irene... I knew this was coming since the day I found out Aphmau had a cold. Kawaii~Chan needs me to help her work at the maid café and I don't even want to put on a skirt, let alone a short one. But it's the nice thing to do... GAH, I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING TOO NICE!!! But it's okay... It'll be fine... The guys are going to iHOP, and that's nowhere near the maid café. I shouldn't feel uncomfortable about it, but honestly, I have a bad feeling...

Zenix's POV

They're all so annoying and tired. Garroth is still in the bathroom washing his hand while yelling at Travis for drooling on it. At the same time, Laurence is asking me if he can sleep on the couch, but Dante is shoving him saying he deserves it and I can't stop chuckling at the fact that there's dust in his hair.
"WE NEED TO RECUPERATE," Travis yells and everyone stops talking.
"I agree," Laurence replies, shoving Dante back, "We're acting like children."
"But what if we are children...?" Garroth philosophizes and everyone just looks at him funny. Travis continues his statement,
"No, seriously. Like, should we go to somewhere other than iHOP?"
"Yeah, I mean, we haven't been to the maid café in a while... since the... ZANE INCIDENT..." Garroth shivers. I have no clue what they're talking about.
"What's a maid café?" I ask them and they're mouthes all drop open.
"Oh, ZENIX!" Laurence cracks up, "You have no idea!"
"Is this something stupid that is a waste of time and money?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Aren't most things?!" Travis grabs my arm, "C'mon! Let's go!" And soon enough, we're out the door.

Are they going to see you? Or will you figure out a way out of this? Thank you for reading this chapter! A new chapter will be out soon!
