Door of Dreams

Chapter 5

"Welcome masters!" Yume greeted.

Once again, she was met with a group of growing familiar faces.

Her eye twitched and she smiled warily, "You guys sure come here often."

Nozomu smiled, "It's nice here."

Asahi leaned forward, lowering his voice, "It's kinda because we aren't bombarded by too many fans here."

"Oh," Yume nodded, understanding.

"Also," Nozomu smirked, glancing over to Subaru, "I think someone likes it here for another reason."

Subaru's eyes widened, noticing the look the boys started giving him, "What?"

"Oh really?" Yume smiled, "Why is that?"

Subaru leaned back nervously, his eyes darting around, "Uh... the, the people?" He stuttered.

"Ah," Yume nodded in agreement, "I agree. The atmosphere is really nice here." She smiled, then shook her head, "Come on, I'll get you guys to a table."

"Any suggestions for today?" Asahi asked as they sat down.

Yume nodded, "Yea! We have some new fruit smoothies. In all the flavors you could ask for!"

"Oh?" Subaru smirked, "Is there a tomato flavor, then?"

"What?" Yume frowned, "Tomatoes aren't fruits!"

Subaru scoffed, "Of course they are. It's all in their growth."

"No way! They aren't even sweet," Yume retorted. "You don't walk around eating tomatoes, do you?"

"So what? They have seeds!"

"So do cucumbers!"

"Also a fruit."

"What? No they're not!"

"Ehem," The two stopped their bickering to look up. Nozomu smiled calmly, "As interesting as this is, maybe we should just agree to disagree?"

Yume crossed her arms, "Yea, whatever."

Subaru shrugged, "Same."

"I'll have a pineapple coconut smoothie, then!" Asahi ordered.

"Pomegranate berry, please," Nozomu asked.

"Honeydew almond," Kanata added.

"Tomato," Subaru smirked.

Nozomu pressed a hand to his head in exasperation.

Yume frowned, "I'm not getting you a tomato smoothie!"

"What if I want one?" Subaru retorted.

"You won't drink it!" Yume shouted. "Tomatoes aren't fruits!"

"Actually Yume," Kanata lifted a finger, "according to science they are fruits."

Yume froze.

"Hah!" Subaru grinned, "Thanks Kanata."

Kanata hummed.

Yume rolled her eyes and wrote in her notepad, "Fine. You want a tomato smoothie? I'll get you a tomato smoothie."

Subaru smiled at her cheekily, "Thank you."

Yume scoffed and waved at them, "I'll be back."

She handed the order to Ms. Anna in the kitchen, who quickly read over it.

"Nijino, what is this? Tomato smoothie?" She raised an eyebrow.

Yume rubbed the back of her head, "It's what he wanted. Can't you just quickly make something? It doesn't matter if it's bad..."
