One year (Usagi X Misaki)

chapter 6

When the next morning arrived, Misaki quickly got dressed as he was running a bit late. He rushed to the kitchen and quickly ate the breakfast that his brother's wife had prepared for him. Takahiro sat across from Misaki, sipping his coffee and reading. He glanced over at Misaki to see him scarfing down his food. "You shouldn't eat so fast, Misaki, you could choke."

"Sorry," Misaki said taking a smaller, but still large, bite. "I'm going to be late." He quickly finished his food, placed his plate in the sink, and quickly headed for the door. "I'll be back later, Nii-chan!" Misaki said before closing the door behind himself. No sooner than Misaki walked out the door, Takahiro's phone rang, immediately picking it up, seeing that Usagi was the one calling.

"Ah, Usami-san, It's been a while."

"Takahiro, I have something very important to tell you... about Misaki." Although a bit confused at first, Takahiro listened as Usagi explained the trouble he was in, very understanding of the situation at hand. "Just, please don't tell Misaki about this. I don't want him to have to worry about it." Usagi said finishing his explanation.

"Don't worry, I won't. I'm sure everything will work out." Takahiro was a bit worried for the well being of his younger brother, as well as Usagi, he was confident that Usagi would find someway of making things right with the two.

In the mean time, Misaki had barely arrived to the bar on time. The man that he had met the day before was waiting for him at the entrance. "Ah, you're here. Come on inside, and I'll show you around." The bartender said holding the door open for Misaki. As he walked in, he could actually see what the inside of the building looked like. "I should probably introduce myself. My name's Leo Katsuki, but you can call me Leo. I am the owner of this fine establishment~" Leo said motioning for Misaki to sit down at one of the tables. "One of my former employees recently moved out of town so he wouldn't be able to work here anymore."He stated," As soon as I saw you, you looked like you had potential and wanted you to work for me~ Oh, I should probably stop going on about all that stuff and explain to you what the job is." Leo said with a slight chuckle. "Well the job I have open is the barista. Do you have any history of this type of work?" He asked. Misaki shook his head no. A few minutes passed of Leo explaining what a barista did. "If you decide to take the job, I'd be more than happy to teach you how to make some of the drinks." He said with a charming smile, handing him an application form. "Bring it back to me tomorrow and you can start then." Misaki smiled, taking the paper, quickly scanning over it.

"Ah! I should be leaving now," Misaki said getting up from his seat."I'll be back tomorrow," He said with a smile, leaving walking back to his brother's house. When he arrived, he was greeted warmly by his brother's wife. The brunette grabbed a pen, sitting at the table, and quickly, but carefully, filled out the application. Takahiro walked up behind him and peered over his shoulder. 

"Looks like my little brother is finally getting himself a job~" Takahiro said with a smile, ruffling his little brother's hair a bit. Misaki quickly covered his paper and fixed his hair. I-it's not a big deal. I just wanted to help you guys out since you let me stay with you." Takahiro chuckled and walked to the living room, sitting on his couch. He glanced over at Misaki I hope everything goes good for both Misaki and Usami-san, he thought. Misaki looked over at his older brother's stare. "Is something wrong, Nii-chan?" Misaki asked. Takahiro zoned back in and gave Misaki a reassuring smile. "Oh, nothing I'm fine. Don't forget dinner is at 7 in case you go somewhere, ok?" Misaki mumbled an 'okay' as he was near finishing the paperwork.
