Eye For Art (Hiro)

  A cute and sweet girl comes to the lucky cat cafe, and drinks cocoa and draws an outstanding drawing that captures Hiro's attention and they end up having a nice conversation and become friends  (tumblr request)

Taking another sip of your warm, steamy cocoa, you cherished the peaceful scenery before you. A charming and quiet, yet popular cafe felt like the perfect spot for you to complete a daily drawing. Placing your mug down, you reached over for your purse, unzipping it to take out your sketchbook. You flipped through the pages, quickly admiring your past work before finding a blank page.

The only thing you questioned was what you were going to draw. Perhaps your half empty cocoa mug. Or maybe that old lady sitting in the corner, staring out the window. The more you looked around the room, the more potential you saw for drawing. Grabbing your purse again, you took out your phone, snapping a quick picture of the view in front of you.

You began to draw, starting with the tables. Once those were finished you sketched in the chairs and those that were sitting in them. Looking at the picture you took, you smiled seeing the middle-aged woman who gave you your drink taking someone else's order. This small detail would definitely add to how inviting this little cafe is.

Unfortunately, you grew frustrated drawing this woman. You couldn't seem to get her short, wavy hair the way you wanted and her proportions didn't turn out right. Erasing yet another failed attempt, you decided to move on and draw the counter. Sketching the pastries inside seemed to be a lot less challenging. Working your way up from that, you drew in an employee cleaning the counter and the menu board on the wall.

The overall sketch was nearly complete. All you had to do now was sketch in the walls, flooring and somehow draw the cafe owner to your liking. Putting your pencil down, you took your last sip of cocoa; automatically feeling more calm about the final touches to your illustration.

As you started drawing in the walls, you couldn't help, but feel as if you were being watched. You initially shook this odd feeling away. It was possible that another customer was just standing behind you and would leave soon. Though that wasn't the case. Curiosity built up inside you, so you turned around to see if anyone was, in fact, within your radius.

Sure enough, someone was behind you, but it was no customer. It turned out to be one the employees with a tub full of dishes at his side. Although he was a bit of a distance away, he still had his eyes locked on your sketchbook. Despite knowing someone had been watching, it still shocked you enough to jump in your chair.

This took the raven-haired boy aback. He hadn't expected you to turn around or be so startled by his presence. "S-sorry," he stuttered, his free hand now rubbing the back of his neck. "I didn't mean to scare you. I-I was just looking at your drawing. You're really good."

Despite still being tensed up from the shock of someone looming over you, you were flattered by this compliment. If you were being honest with yourself, you didn't think of you were that great of an artist. Hearing positive feedback on your work, even over something as simple as a rough sketch, helped motivate you.

"Really?" You asked, your voice still slightly shaken from being spooked. "Wow, thanks! This isn't my best work, but I'm glad you like it."

The boy rose a brow at you before examining your unfinished work. You felt a little self conscious of him doing so, but the grin on his face reassured you otherwise. "Are you kidding? This is really cool. I've never seen anyone draw the cafe before." He chuckled to himself, continuing to admire your work. As his eyes wandered around the page, a certain detail seemed to catch his attention. "Hey...is that...me?"

Looking to where the employee was pointing, you could tell just by the hair alone that it was him in your drawing. "Oh uh yeah...that is you," you confirmed. "I took a picture a little while ago and you were by the counter. I hope it's okay."

You thought maybe he had a problem being drawn at first, but you were proven wrong by the laugh he gave you. "It's cool. No one's ever drawn me before. I think I turned out well."

You managed a soft giggle in return. "I wish I could say the same about the owner. I can't seem to get her to look right at all."

"Don't worry about that. Aunt Cass would be thrilled to know that someone drew her no matter how it turned out."

His aunt? You thought to yourself. Now I really want to get her done right. "If you say so." For some reason, you had expected the conversation to have ended by now, but it didn't. In fact, you were actually enjoying talking to this employee. He seemed friendly and genuinely interested in your work. As busy as he seemed with work, you wanted to keep talking with him, even if it would be cut short. "So, are you much of an artist?"

Shrugging, the boy said, "Not really. I'm more into robotics, but I do have to draw sketches whenever I make something." He glanced over to the empty chair across from you. "Do you mind if I..." he trailed off, walking closer towards the seat.

"Not at all."

Placing the tub of dishes to the floor, he sat down, reaching for his notepad and pen. You watched as he quickly started to doodle away. You had to admit, you were impressed. He was drawing with a pen and didn't seem to make any major mistakes with...well you weren't sure what he was drawing. Having this quick sketch be a surprise was a little exciting.

"Alright, here it is," he announced, turning the notepad around. A smile grew on your face seeing the his fast sketch of what looked to be a rather plump cat.

"Cute," you told him, appreciating how well the doodle appeared despite how little time he spent on it. Nonetheless it was actually done well. The fur looked fluffy and the bell for a collar was a nice detail to add. "You know, if robotics doesn't work out for you, you'd make a good artist."

The boy shook his head at you followed by a comical eye roll. "I never considered that possibility, but I'll keep it in mind. Besides, I've gotten used to drawing Mochi by now."

You would have laughed, but a thought had just occurred to you. You had been talking to this employee for at least ten minutes now and you hadn't even introduced yourself yet. Of course, you hadn't originally planned to do so, but given that your conversation was going so well, it only felt like the right thing to do.

"I'm (Y/N) by the way," giving him a proper introduction.

"Hiro," he happily exchanged. He held out his hand in a manner of wanting to give you a handshake. However, right as you were about to, a loud voice called out Hiro's name.

"Enough chit chatting with the customers, Hiro!" His aunt lightly scolded. "I need those dishes washed!"

"Oh uh right!" Hiro scrambled to get out of his chair. Grabbing the tub as fast as he could, he reached over for your finished mug of cocoa. "It was nice meeting you!" He yelled in your direction. "Good luck on the drawing!"

You couldn't help, but smile. As you got back into your rhythm of sketching, you felt grateful for making a new friend because of this still uncompleted piece.

This was so fun to write! I can definitely see Hiro befriending someone over a drawing. I hope you enjoyed it :D
