Heartless Tears

Cafe sweets~

 By pm i was sitting outside messing around with paints , my hands were a mess from the painting i had done. Mixes of black, grey, blue, silver, and More covered the painting. I let out a sigh looking at my hands, i picked up the painting hanging it to dry and walking inside to wash off. The sink was now colored by the paints my hands lightly stained. 

 I felt a buzz coming from my pocket, lifting up my phone i saw that it was a message from OC, "What're you up to zii?" It read. My first thought wasn't about what i was doing or what to respond with, more like how did he get any of my information. I hadn't remembered giving him or DJ my social media or number. I replied to him saying "I was cleaning my ahnds after painting, now getting ready for work". I was amazed at how quick OC had replied, the way he acts doesnt seem like he'd be one to reply so quickly maybe i was wrong. "Oh.? Getting ready for work?" I read his message over again my eyes messed up the words, it was hard to read sometimes without wearing my contacts since i stopped using my glasses. "Yeah why?" I saw the text bubble pop up as i waited for him to reply, then i read it "Didn't know someone who is as emo and gothic as you would have a job". Something about the way he texted that made me feel like he was trying to get under my skin, atleast he wasn't doing a good job of getting on my good side. "Didnt know someone like you would care" i replied. I smiled a bit stretching my arms, i walked in my room getting ready my phone going off from the amount of texts i was getting. When i looked at my phone it was notifications, then the replied message from oc "i dont just curious."

It was 6:30 pm when i walked inside the cafe store and got myself settled in, kim, the manager of the cafe asked to see me when i came. Walking to the back of the cafe i settled upon her small little meeting room, it was decorated in dolls, kawaii posters, and pink. Kim was sitting down on one of the chairs when i came in, she looked up at me and looked me over. I saw her smile and hop up jumping towards me and wrapped her arms around me with the same smile. "Ah! Nakioshi~san! Good  too see you!" Kim smiled cheerfully her face decorated in kawaii make up, pink soft cheeks, and a kitty sticker on both sides, her eyes decorated in white and pink eyeshadow that matched her pink cheeks. "Good to see you as well..Kim-sama.." kim had took a step back her smile still there, "ah! Heres your uniform and name tag! You'll be working with Zane~Kun and a few others" Kims voice was filled with cheer and joy, seemingly she couldnt show enough of it, or atleast there wasnt enough to even show. 

"Ah..thank you once again" i lowered my head bowing, showing my respect and appreciation towards Kim. When i lifted my head up again i noticed Kims smile grew bigger as she spoke again in the same cheerful voice "Dont worry about it Nakioshi~san! Theres a employee room you can change in, dont worry about any personal items either! Its all safe and sound in there~ your box number is #24!" . I looked at her once again, bowing my head a second time in appreciation. 

Once i had gotten myself set up i tied the wide fabric strip around my waist making a front bow tieing it into place. I had tightened my gloves on my hand and i was finished. I headed out , and began working, just when i got behind the counter where the sweets were, i felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Zane standing behind me. "Good to see you Naki" he said. It had been a while since i last saw Zane, i was glad to see him again. "You too Zane." I replied to him seeing that he smiled a bit "I didnt know you'd come to America, instead of staying home in japan." I looked at Zane then back at the counter "yeah..Sero and i came together but he moved to a different area.." i replied again , Zane let out a sigh then looked back at me "well, then if you need help let me know ill be sure to help you out." He walked away heading back to work on serving and helping customers.

I was helping out a family, getting them all set up. There son seemed a little unhappy his rosy cheeks shined from the light, i knelt down and smiled at him "how about i get you something sweet? How about that ?"  I made a forced sweet smile, patting the kids head as he jumped in excitement. Just as i was going back to the table to finish the order, i had set down the tray setting a small bowl of cherries down besides the ice cream bowl i set in-front of the small young boy..He smiled with joy devouring the sweet treat in-front of him only to have a now empty bowl. I noticed how the parents were looking at my name tag recognizing the fact that my last name was in Japanese, since i am of course. They thanked me and smiled, i tried to return a smile back but instead i just looked Awkward . I stood up walking over to the wall by the counter taking out my phone since I noticed it had been spammed with social media notifications.

I guess it doesn't help that I've become famous on many social platforms online just for my art,  it also comes down to me getting messages by people who wanted to to over throw me. i had sighed shut-ing my phone off untying part of the uniform so that I was able to fix the cover underneath it. I had saw someone standing at the cafe entrance through the corner of my eyes. to me it was odd he was just standing there, I finished fixing the cover then timing the uniform robe back on. I wasn't quite focused on the one standing by the doorway. "Aww look at that, guess I found your work eh?" Oc tried teasing me about the fact that he had found me here at work. by this time I was the only worker their since I was the one closing it tonight.

"what do you need, actually what do you want?" I asked sighing at the end. "Would it hurt you if I posted that picture I took of you in that maid costume?" oc chuckled as he had finished speaking. "you wanna death wish there? go ahead use it as something to jack off too I don't care. its just a costume dipshit" I looked over at him finishing what I said then oc spoke again , "ouch is that how you speak to your costumer. are you gonna keep insulting me or will you actually serve me?". Glaring at him I pointed to the table in which was open. Oc ordered a milkshake , so I had given him the one zane made but was a messed up order, it was too sweet which is why I didn't really touch it.

We sat there at the booth in the cafe somewhat close to each other. "Come on, is that any way to treat your master?" oc let out a remark which made me lift my head up and glare at him. I flipped him off responding to his bullshit "Hmm? How about a fuck you.".

I dropped my head down, resting it on my arms . my face showed nothing but tiredness in which oc commented about. "if your so tired then why don't you sleep?" he asked me while he had scrolled through his phone taking another sip of the milkshake that was in his other hand. "because,I can't sleep for various reasons.." I replied to him my voice sinking lower . "Mm..? Like what?" oc asked with some concern, I could hear it in his voice and tone. "Don't worry about it Nevermind its nothing got it?" I replied shuffling off the question he had asked me. "Hmm.. Its getting boring I'm gonna head home." Oc said as he stood up walking out of the booth, I had lifted my head up looking up at him. "take my jacket its cold outside you'll need it got that? A hoodie won't do anything for you in the snow." 

Oc looked back at me after he had made his way to the front door of the cafe, he replied to me mocking what I had told him. "I don't need your stupid jacket ill be fine." oc walked out of the door , I had grabbed my jacket locking all the doors and things Kim instructed me to do.

Once I stepped outside Oc stood there shivering, I looked at him his body trembling from the cold. "Oi..let me help you.. I told you to just take my jacket you idiot." I told him as I slid my arm out of my sleeve, I took his arm holding him against my side to help sustain him. I had began walking down the side walk , part of my jacket around oc as I helped him walk, it seemed like seconds later he had already passed out, dead.asleep. I glanced at Oc,Taking my jacket off and threw it over my shoulder, then wrapping my arm under his legs picking him up of the ground and carried him. I hit onto my jacket pulling it off my shoulder dropping it onto oc so it covered him and kept him warm.

I had been carrying oc for a bit now, some people passing by looked at me but I didn't bother to care about them. Continuing down the ice and snow covered sidewalk that became a frosty wonderland I was reaching somewhat close to my house. Oc's head against my chest , his breathing quiet , and his body's warmth slowly growing. It was odd how he was still cold but reaching towards warmth, I wondered weather or not he was actually okay or not. right now all I focused on was getting home and making sure he was safe and warm. 

About 30 minuets later I had gotten home, I lifted my knee gently resting oc on it as I wrapped my had around the ice cold door handle, and pushed. The door was open and I entered kicking it shut behind me, I had gently laid oc down in the front room by the front door of my house. My jacket still laid ontop of oc, I took the robe off and set that onto of him hoping it would at least warm him up.
