It was pretty normal summer morning. The streets of Tokyo were busy and crowded. In somewhere middle of the crowd there was a young, black and white haired man looking like he wasn't really sure where to go.
"Where was that place again..." he mumbled to himself, looking at the map from his phone. He looked around him and saw street's name in the signpost.
"Oh, it looks like I'm closer than I thought", he laughed and continued walking.
Soon he arrived to pedestrian zone. As he walked forward, he saw many shops around him.
"Now I should be close..." the man said and soon saw a sign above one shop, "Sasaki's bakery".
"Ah, this is it", he said and took a key from his pocket, opening the shop's door with it. He stepped inside, looking around him. It was a small shop with a small kitchen at the back and few shelves around here and there. The man put his hands to his hips and looked forwards determined.
"Yush, time to start working", he said and closed the door behind him.
After a few hours he was done. The whole shop was cleaned from top to bottom and there were freshly baked bread and pastries on the shelves.
"I think it's time to open", the man said, satisfied with his job. He put the "open" sign to the door and opened it, looking around the street. The first thing he noticed was a small flower shop right opposite the street. He saw that it was open, and decided to go check it out. It wouldn't be so bad to get to know some people around here.
"Hello, is anyone here?" man said as he stepped to the store. He looked around him, seeing all those beautiful flowers and plants. The good scent of flowers filled the air.
"Ah, please wait a moment, I'll be right there!" man heard a sweet voice from behind the shelves.
"Hello there, how can I help you?" the voice came now behind the man, and as he turned around, he saw this beautiful person with white skin, big, red eyes and black hair that was tied to a bun. Man noticed some kind of red marks on the person's skin, probably stitches or something. The person was wearing a loose top and shorts with an apron on top of them. From the first look it was very hard to say whether the person was a boy or a girl. But overall, the person was really pretty.
"Oh, umm... I'm Haise Sasaki. I just moved here a while ago, and I have just opened a new bakery opposite the street", the man introduced himself.
"Oh, nice to meet you! I'm Juuzou Suzuya, and I'm the owner of this flower shop. There's two other workers besides me, but they haven't arrived yet", other person then introduced themself and smiled. "So you're a baker? That's awesome!" Juuzou said excitedly.
"Really? I don't think it's really that awesome", Haise then said a little humbly, scratching his neck.
"Yeah, it is! Or at least I think so, because I love pastries like muffins and cakes and other sweet stuff", Juuzou laughed a little and smiled. "Soo, you're new around here, huh? Where did you come from? And what brings you to Tokyo?" they asked and got a little closer to Haise, curious expression on their face.
"Ah, well, I moved to here from Kyoto. And why I came to Tokyo, well that's pretty good question, since even I'm not very sure about that", Haise said and laughed a little. "I just kinda wanted a new start... And I thought I could prosper here, or at least that's what others told me".
"Oh I see. From Kyoto huh? I've been there few times. You've come pretty long way", Juuzou said and took a watering can to water some flowers.
"Yeah, I guess I have", Haise granted and looked at Juuzou with a small, calm smile on his face. "Well, I guess I'll leave now. It was very nice to meet you, Suzuya", he then said and smiled now a little more.
"Oh, please just call me Juuzou. No need to be so formal", Juuzou then demanded.
"O-oh... Well, then you can call me just Haise", the man said with a small blush on his face.
"Okay!" Juuzou smiled. "It was really nice to meet you too, Haise~" Juuzou then waved their hand as Haise went out of the store.
'He was... Pretty nice...' Haise thought with a small smile on his face as he went inside his bakery. "Maybe moving here wasn't so bad idea after all..." he talked to himself, looking outside the window to the florist shop opposite the street.
