You had only been working for 10 minutes and the stress had already begun. The twins had "forgotten" to mention that it was the lunch rush, and they weren't much of a help. They were either sneaking cake out of the kitchen or cheering you on from their two-seater table.
"Kiyoko! Apple-fudge pie for table 4, Cheesecake Delight for table 1 and Cream Cappuccino for table 6!" Rikuto yelled from the kitchen.
"Coming!" you yelled back while pouring some lemonade. You sprinted back to the kitchen and came out balancing the orders on your arms. You passed by the twins' table.
You glared. "You guys could help you know, instead of just sitting there eating cake!"
"Neh..Kiyo-chan! We're fine!" Itsuki said.
"Yeah, we're just on a 5 minute break!" Kaoru added, having another bite of cake.
"You guys probably don't know how to tell the time if your on a 5 minute break..." you mumbled glaring at the backs of the twins.
"Ah! Look at my wonderful Kiyo-chan working so hard!" Rikuto said from the kitchen, leaning his head on his hand, eyes sparkling. "But I think she needs some help, right Hikaru?" Rikuto said turning his head to face the younger man.
Hikaru nodded in reply, picked up two orders and headed out the swinging doors.
"And here's your Cream Cappuccino" you said smiling, placing the cup on the table. Suddenly a group of high-pitched screams were heard.
You turned your head towards the sound and saw Hikaru serving customers and a group of girls squealing at the sight of him.
You sweatdropped and walked over to the twins. "Does that happen often?" you asked leaning forward.
"Yes. So get used to it Kiyo-chan!" Kaoru said smiling.
"Hey!" Itsuki said. He ushered the two of you to come closer. "Wanna annoy Hikaru-san?" he whispered.
A grin formed on both yours and Kaoru's face. Itsuki whispered the plan and you all sneaked into the kitchen, and hid behind the worktop
"Guys, what are you doing in here?" Rikuto questioned.
The three of you put your fingers to your lips indicating him to be quiet.
Hikaru walked into the kitchen.
"Any other orders?" he asked.
"Yep!" Rikuto replied handing him several orders. As Hikaru walked back out of the kitchen, you, Kaoru and Itsuki followed him out.
"KYAA!!! IT'S HIKARU-KUN!!!!"
Hikaru turned around to see the three of you making googly eyes at him.
"EHH! HE'S SO CUTE!!!" Kaoru yelled.
"I WISH WE COULD SEE HIM MORE OFTEN!!" Itsuki continued, fake-hearts in his eyes.
"I work in a nut house..." Hikaru mumbled brushing a hand through his hair.
After a few more hours of tiring work..mostly by you, Rikuto flipped the open sign so that it showed closed.
"Well that was a good days work!" he said smiling.
"Yeah! I'm so tired!" Itsuki exclaimed.
"Even though I did most of the work..." you mumbled.
"But you were defiantly the best Kiyoko-chan!" Rikuto cheered pulling you into a bone-breaking jug. "You were very good!" he continued spinning around at break-neck speed.
"Itsuki! Kaoru!" you coughed out. "Help me!" you said trying to reach out to the twins.
But the two auburn haired twins just stood and laughed.
