BANANA FISH (short stories)

café AU part 2

I also apologise for this being so late! I'm caught with school work and i'm stressed af but i'm doing the best I can :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a day since the brown haired boy Eiji had entered coffee express (the coffee shop ash owns if you didn't know) and had given the blond haired boy Ash Lynx his number so he could work there. But there had been no messages exchanged between the two because Ash is a pussy OKAY OKAY I'LL BE SERIOUS NOW I'M SORRY I'VE FORGETTEN HOW TO WRTIE THESE SCHJS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash POV

It was 11 at night and I was still tossing and turning in my bed, no matter how many times I moved I couldn't sleep. My heart was pounding and I was irritated, I had messaged him. But it sounded wrong and I didn't ask what I wanted to ask and it was bugging me. I picked up my phone and read through the messages again just in case

{me}: hi Eiji it's ash, the person from the café you went to. I wanted to ask if you are still interested in applying for the job?

{Eiji}: Hello again Ash! yes I am still interested in the job. When would you like me to start working with you?

{me}: I don't want to intrude on you doing your photography so you just tell me the day you want to come in so that I can show you how to do things around the shop :)

{Eiji}: I was thinking...i'm free tomorrow so would I be able to come in tomorrow? Obviously it's fine if not it is on short notice so it's completely fine!

{me}: That's fine don't worry, what time will you be coming in? We open at 6 but I don't expect you to come in at that time so you can come in any time. we close at 11 at night and I don't expect you to stay that late either so just tell me when you feel like leaving

{Eiji}: Don't worry i'll work the full amount of hours no matter what! I'll see you at 6 in the morning then! Sleep well Ash!

{me}: Okay then see you tomorrow sleep well Eiji

I put the phone back down and groaned. Who in their right mind would work a full shift on their first day?! With that I tried sleeping again with the thought of seeing the brown haird boy and drifted off to a distant world.

Eiji POV

"Ibe I told you i'm leaving at 5:30 for a job right?"

The middle aged man chocked on his food so I stood up to get him water

"Ibe please be carful you don't want to-"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE A JOB YOU WON'T EVEN BE PERMINATLY LIVING IN AMERICA EIJI WE'ER ONLY STAYING FOR 3 MONTHS YOU CAN'T JUST GET A JOB AND 5:30?! ARE YOU MAD!"

I had completely forgotten to tell him about what had happened at the café. I had asked a cute blond haired boy if I cold work at his café because he said he didn't have many employees so I offered to work for him until I had to go back home.

"Listen Ibe it's not that much of a big deal Ash knows I don't live hear and I only said I would work there because he is short on staff at the café so I said i'd help him."

"And how don't you know he is a bad person? Eiji we are in America! It isn't the same as Japan! They have a law to allow them to own guns for god sake! And you don't even know this guy! What makes him so special?!"
I sighed

"Well his name is Ash Lynx and he runs a the café coffee express and he is a really sweet person, he doesn't have a gun and he told me I didn't have to work there or come in when the café opens on time or leave when it closes but I decided to do the full hours. You didn't see him Ibe, there was a look in his eyes, he looked tiered, lonely, almost as if he were about to give up so if I can help him even a bit I will help him!"

Ibe chuckled

"That makes you sound like a knight in shining amour you know, oh fine you can go! Just be carful okay not everyone is friendly in the world you know!"

"Okay thanks Ibe!"

And with that I left the room and went to sleep. That night was very peaceful and I dreamt about things but I couldn't remember what exactly but it was a happy dream.
