Dreamwalker - A Saint Seiya (1986) OC Story

Chapter 3 - Boba Tea and Flour Clouds

"Shun?"

"Hm?" The green eyed man looked down his shoulder at me as we walked along the sidewalk of the city.

"Where are we going?"

"Boba tea."

I blinked. "What?"

"You'll see!" Shun took my hand and lead me along the sidewalk, dodging between people to and fro with me giggling.

It has been two days since I moved in with the guys and Miss Saori, and I have to admit, it was fun! Shun and I have had some great moments so far, but all of them are fun to be around!

Seiya makes me laugh a lot because he's such a doofus. Shiriyu's a little odd, but he's rather calming to be around. Hyoga is actually kinda cool to watch train, along with Ikki, who in all honesty intimidates me. Miss Saori I didn't fully understand, especially with her odd aura that no one really wants to explain to me. Tatsumi, I don't know why, but he just makes me mad to be around.

"Here!" I bumped into Shun's back when he stopped and we both burst into laughter as he tried to apologise.

We stood in front of a small white and pink building with a couple of chairs and tables outside. Shun opened the door and a bell rang from somewhere in the building.

"Hey Shun!" A younger boy with blonde hair and green eyes popped up behind the counter, spooking me for a moment.

"Hey Juno!" Shun greeted with a smile.

"Who's that? Is she your girlfriend?"

I felt my face heat up again as Shun sputtered out a no. Juno laughed. "Okay, okay! I didn't mean to cause a scene! What'll it be for today?"

"Usual for me, and..." Shun studied me for a moment and I blinked back at him. "Blackberry for Yume."

"Alright then!" Juno walked behind a curtained doorway and I heard a bunch of loud noises. Shun put money on the table and waited, and it wasn't awkward since whatever Juno was doing was really freaking loud and we couldn't talk even if we wanted to.

"Okay! Here ya go!" Juno came out of the backroom grinning and exchanged the two cups with Shun. The green eyed man handed me mine and lead me over to a table in the corner. We were the only ones in there at the moment, since it was late morning.

"Don't you need the change?" I asked, confused as we sat down.

"Nope. That was the exact amount." Shun sipped on his drink for a second before noticing that I was just staring at mine. "What's wrong, Yume?"

"What are those things at the bottom?"

Shun chuckled before pointing to the small spheres in his drink. "Small tapioca balls. They give the drink more flavor. That's where the tea gets its name. It's technically bubble tea, but some say "boba" instead of "bubble."

"Oh. So it's normal?"

"Yes!"

"Okay..." I hesitantly took a sip of my drink before my eyes widened. "Oh my God it's so good!"

"Shhh!" Shun hissed through his contained laughter. I heard Juno snort in amusement behind the counter nearby.

"How do you know about this place?"

Shun glanced out the window. "My brother used to take me here all the time when we were kids."

"Why did you stop?"

Shun looked back at me with raised eyebrows. "Did no one tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"We're all orphans, Yume."
