The Beginnings of Little Emo Jimmy John's

A/N: I was digging through my old binder from last year and found this story. It's so cringe, but oh whale. Oh yeah, this is actually the original story that sparked all the others. I also added some different things and made it slightly less cringe.

Little Emo John woke with a start. There was a frog on his face, but this wasn't just any frog, this was Kyle, Little Emo John's colleague and cofounder. They made the perfect team, Kyle sets things on fire and Little Emo John stole backpacks (especially if their dog was on fire). Little Emo John and Kyle helped cofound and create the company Little Emo Jimmy John's BB-Great Sandwiches™.

"Kyle, what do you want?" Little Emo John said, forgetting that Kyle was a frog and could not speak. Kyle gestured to the time which was 9:42 AM. They were about to be late to their own job. Little Emo John hopped out of bed and to his closet screeching incoherently.

*10 minutes later*

Little Emo John and Kyle booked it for the car. Once inside, John violently pulled out of the driveway. As per every morning, Little Emo John quickly stole a backpack off the sidewalk. Time was of the essence, but backpack stealing is important. They surprisingly enough made it on time to work at 9:59 AM. Kyle hopped up to the cash register and put on his specially made tiny gloves.

"How could you be late to work at your own shop?" Emilia and Miaka shouted at Little Emo John and Kyle.

"We weren't technically late, we were one minute early," John defended.

"You were pretty much late. Early is on time, and on time is late, were you ever in band?" Miaka asked.

"I actually was, I played flute. Anyways, let's get to work."

Miaka and Little Emo John both worked together in the same station. Both of them managed to develop an intense crush on the other. Emilia and Kyle ruined their lives with that in mind. This was the only thing that made work interesting other than Kyle having sandwiches catch fire.

Little Emo John and Kyle clocked out at 3 PM and got in their car. In sign language, Kyle asked John about Miaka.

"Can you and Emilia just stop talking about it for one-" 

"We won't," Kyle started, "You guys are great together." Little Emo John didn't say anything for the rest of the ride. Once they got out of the car, Kyle went to the forest. You know, to burn down trees. Kyle was very secretive and Little Emo John could never figure out if Kyle was in a cult.

Kyle forced Little Emo John to ask Miaka and Emilia to come over for dinner. Little Emo John was rushing to make dinner and pots were falling over the floor as well as colanders. He nearly burned the pasta, somehow. Lord only knows how you manage that. He wanted to make a good impression on Miaka, but that didn't quite seem as if that's how it would go. Miaka and Emilia arrived at the house around fifteen minutes early with a sampler cheesecake platter. 

They began the meal and Miaka sat next to John. John began to fidget and noticed that Miaka's fork was shaking as she ate.

Afterwards, they went to the living room to discuss music, movies, and all sorts of things. Emilia and Kyle decided to slyly leave the room to allow Miaka and John to talk alone. They sat awkwardly once they noticed this.

"So, uh, how was your day?" Miaka asked.

"Good, I guess, it would've been better if you knew that I liked you," he responded.

"Yes, I'm aware that that was sudden and really awkward. I'm sorry if I ruined our friendship or anything," he said, not long afterwards.

"No, you didn't ruin it. I really like you, too," she said, laughing.

"Haha, wait, what?"John asked.

"I like you as well. I fancy you. Ich mag dich wirklich. Du bist eine erstaunliche Person," Miaka said.

"Do you understand now?" she asked.

"Yes," he said, with a helpless smile on his face.

"I'd love to keep talking, but I think it's about time Emilia and I left," she said as she turned the corner to face Emilia and grabbed her wrist so they could leave.

"I'd love to take your time, but I have a music class in the morning," Miaka said to Little Emo John as she paused and then continued to walk towards the door. John quickly walked to the door to open it as Miaka held Emilia by the wrist, dragging her to the exit.

John opened the door and Miaka paused as she shoved Emilia towards the car.

"Miaka, are you mad?" John asked, concerned.

"Not at you, I'm just frustrated that Emilia and Kyle were eavesdropping on our conversation, I'm fine," she said.

"Are you sure?" She thought about it and sighed with a grin.

"Yes."

"Well, have a goodnight," John said, ushering her out. Miaka began to walk away until she quickly turned on her heel, going back and gently kissing John on the cheek.

"Goodnight, John."

Miaka walked back to the car and got in the driver's seat.

"Aww, that was adorable," Emilia said.

"Shutup."

"Never."
