between Pastries and Volleyball (Ukai Keishin x reader)

Chapter 2

"What is he thinking? I can take care of myself! I'm an adult" you were walking down to road to your apartment still mad about what the store clerk said to you. Is he always that rude to costumers? If yes then why is he working in a store then. You grunts when you entered your apartment and relaxed for a bit in the comfort of your Home. You made your way to the kitchen to boil some water for your instant noodles. You went to the bedroom to get into more comfort clothes and turned on music to forget the stress that was pressing onto you.

After you ate and took a shower you decided to go to bed, and as you were laying there your mind was starting to race.
'What if it was a bad idea to open a Bakery?'
'Maybe people won't like what you are creating.' you slowly remember the time people made fun of you for having dreams that seems to be so far away, the laughter echoed through your head and all you could do was to curl up into a ball and cry ask the laughing people start to manifest in your head and it makes the anxiety to fail even worse.

Your night was the worse, not being able to sleep. As your alarm goes off all you wanted to do was to turn your phone off  and ignore the whole world. But you had to prepare everything for your great opening tomorrow, you get up and changed into comfortable clothes which are still stylish enough to go outside with. After a cup of Coffee (or tea what you prefer) you made your way outside along with Grabbing your keys. Rushing down the stairs you barely noticed the old lady which was making her way to the door and almost run her over.
"Watch where you going! The youth these days" you helped her pick up her stuff and apologized a few times before leaving again. You had the luck to not be Lucky most of the time, all you do seems to be a failure to others, nobody believed in you only your parents wanted to live your Life at the fullest. You stopped walking when you looked up at the store sign again. "Is the grumpy clerk from yesterday still there? Let's hope not".

You enters the store only to met with the same clerk again. You looked at him, or better say look directly at his chest. He was tall, taller then you and your nose was filled with the smell of Cigarettes and Cheap cologne. "You again?" you took a few steps back and look up at him "Yeah. And? Aren't I allowed to go buy some groceries?"
He shakes his head and leaves into the backroom. You sigh and look around the store. It wasn't big but big enough to storage a lot of different products and ingredients.
The bell of the door caught your attention as you looked at the door you saw two guys enter the store, they seem to be around their late 20's and are kinda tall. "Keishin! Aren't you late for volleyball practices?" The backroom door swung open and the clerk from earlier came out now in a track suit and a scrowl on his face, but you guessed it was his everyday expression, "Yeah yeah I was on the way, don't you guys have to work or something?" You couldn't other then to giggle "Says the one who is being acting like a grumpy old man" the guys looked at you and back at Ukai only to laugh at him "Wow they are right. Not gonna lie you act like an old man" Ukais scrowl turns into a frown before he leaves the store without another word. The one with the Bleached hair looked at you and smirks "Not many tell him the truth about his behavior. I'm Takinoue Yusuke and this is Shimida Makoto, we are Keishins best friends" you bowed down with a smile "I'm Y/N L/N. I just moved here" Shimada looked at you and smiled "You are new around here, we can help you out if you need some help. Everyone need a little support when they are new around". You thought about it for a moment before yoz said "I think I will take the offer right now."
