...

"who's that?"

tendou whispered.

they had just entered the new cafe and already tendou had questions.

tendou leaned closer to semi's ear, pointing at a male barista behind the counter with the strange looking fringe.

"do you think he's some sort of top model?"

semi rolled his eyes,

"if he was a top model, why would he even need to be working at a cafe." he remarked.

tendou's mouth curved into a perfect 'o' shape at the sudden realization.

"i think he's actually in our class," tendou said.

"wait, he's a liberal arts major, too?" semi asked, quietly.

"he looks more like a visual arts major with that type of hairstyle."

behind the counter, the male barista glared at them before rolling his eyes.

he could tell they were secretly gossiping about him.

everyone could tell if they weren't gossiping about his hair, it would be about his image.

if it wasn't about that, it would be about something else.

'stop thinking like this,'  he thought.

rolling his eyes for the thousandth time that day, not bad considering it was only 8:30.

"it's not like i can help it." he grumbled under his breath.

"oi, shirabu! talking to yourself again?" joked one of the other barista's named goshiki. he also had a strange hairstyle.

"be quiet, you idiot."

shirabu said, pushing goshiki away.

'he isn't worth your energy,'

shirabu rolled his eyes again in frustration.

"if you keep rolling your eyes, they might get stuck that way." goshiki shot back, smirking.

"SHUT UP DUMBASS!" shirabu yelled, shocking some of the customers.

'dont let him get to you, kenjirou,'

'a little too late for that...'  he thought. 

he took a deep breath before noticing the customer in front of him.

he cleared his throat before asking,

"uh, may i take your order?"

he asked.

'it's the kid from art class'

"um, one tall caramel latte please."

"anything else?"

semi brushed a piece of hair from his face.

semi sighed before turning to tendou who was requesting a drink without speaking.

semi rolled his eyes in response before ordering,

"and a small hot chocolate as well."

"will that be all?"

"yeah."

shirabu made out the orders on the touch-screen in front of him.

the cash-register gave a ding before swinging open.

"your total is 530 yen."

semi handed shirabu the money before turning back to his thankful roommate.

"goshiki! get to work on that hot chocolate!" shirabu called back to the younger male.

he sighed, but continued to the back of the cafe to make tendou's hot chocolate.

all the while, shirabu started on semi's order.

semi and tendou had found themselves a table as they waited.

sitting down, tendou spoke, "thanks for paying." tendou grinned, laying his head on top of his arms.

"thank you for inviting me, and then having me pay." semi shot back, narrowing his eyes at the red-haired male.

he put on his headphones to blast some music.

'idiot.'
