Pia Latte

Out With Hikaru Suoh

You and the twins were running around the Pia Late cafe, serving food and taking orders. The weather was unusually hot and Hikaru refused to give you a break.

"Here's your lemon drizzle" you said, placing the dish on the table. You walked back to the kitchen and wiped your forehead.

"You okay?" Rikuto asked.

"Don't you guys have air conditioning?" you asked, fanning yourself with your hand.

"Of course!" Rikuto replied "But Hikaru only turns it on when it's REALLY hot. You know, 'saving electricity'" he said.

"But it's BOILING!" Itsuki said walking in.

"Yeah." Kaoru said walking in behind his twin.

"Well, you'll have to ask Hikaru" Rikuto said.

Your eyes went wide. You all looked down the corridor leading to......Hikaru's office. A dark aura seemed to be surrounding it.

"Do you actually think that we're going into that dragon's den?" you asked sceptically, pointing down the hallway.

Rikuto laughed "There's no other way"

"This is pathetic...” Kaoru said brushing a hand through his hair.

"No kidding" you said, raising your hands to tie your hair.

Itsuki and Kaoru grinned.

"Let me help you with that" Itsuki said from behind you, taking your hair into his hands.

"Your red Kiyo-chan" Kaoru said wiping your forehead.

Rikuto immediately cracked. "GET YOUR HANDS OF MY DAUGHTER!" Rikuto yelled, lunging over the worktop.

But the twins moved out of the way, so Rikuto landed face first on the floor. You and the twins cracked up.

"What's going on?"

You all looked towards the door, and saw Hikaru.

Itsuki ran over, and looked carefully at the tall man. Then pointed an accusing finger at him. "You’re not sweating!" he yelled.

"But it's like 50°C!" Kaoru excalimed.

"It's not that hot" Hikaru said "So get back to work"

You walked out of the kitchen, until you were dragged back by the twins.

"What now?" you asked.

"Don't you find a bit suspicious that Hikaru isn't sweating at all?" Itsuki asked.

You thought for a bit.

"Yeah. It is weird"

"So it's our job to figure out what's going on" Kaoru said, punching his hand.

"Yes sir!" you said saluting him.

Hikaru walked out of the kitchen and you all leered at him as he walked into his office.

"I got it!" you yelled eyes sparkling.

"What?" the twins asked, curious to know.

"He's a robot" you said, hand on hips.

Itsuki's expression dropped. "Kiyo-chan..." he whined.

"Wait. Kiyo-chan might be on to something" Kaoru said. "Think about it. Hikaru never shows any expression right?"

"Yeah" Itsuki said.

"He's really smart. Always stern. Never sweats" Kaoru said, adding things onto the list.
