If there was ever a day when the cafe had been hectic, this surely had to be one of those days.
Plates had gone flying, shouts about Ryou being a slave driver, and what-not had been thrown out into the wild of the main room that day.
...Needless to say, the cafe had scared off most of their visitors that had actually noticed what was going on.
"Minto-chaaaaaaaan! Will you ever help us out?"
Ichigo wasn't in a pleasant mood. Judging by the scowl that was plastered on her face, she hadn't been feeling so happy early in the day either.
"Let me see.... no, no, and no." Minto replied, taking yet another sip of her tea.
The mew mew was greeted with a roar as a reply. Sweatdropping, Minto simply continued to finish her tea. It was really Ichigo's loss, wasn't it?
However, there were more important things to think about than Ichigo's sudden loss of sanity. Turning her eyes towards the other end of the cafe, where her co-worker, Retasu Midorikawa, and her boss, Ryou Shirogane, were, a small smile crept upon her face.
"Ummmmm... S-shirogane-san, Ichigo-chan needs some help where she is, d-doesn't she?"
Retasu had been sweeping up the plates that she had broken today. Glancing up at her employer, who was helping her out, she motioned over to where the grumbling cat girl was.
The older teen, on the other hand, seemed to have no need or want to help her out.
"She'll be fine, Retasu-san. After all, there are other people working here." He replied matter-of-factly, dumping the broken plate pieces into a nearby trash can.
And... well, he was correct. Within a few seconds, a blonde teen had joined Ichigo. As they mopped and cleaned off the dirty tables together, the newcomer had significantly lightened up Ichigo's mood.
A small smile appeared on Retasu's face as she looked up from her chore. "I-I see, Shirogane-san.. I-I almost forgot about Shirayuki-san for a moment..."
She tossed the last bits of plate into the trash can, and began to put her supplies away. She, however, didn't realize that she wasn't alone as she did so.
"Wait! Retasu-san! Let me walk you home tonight.."
Retasu could feel the blood rising up to her face. Nodding weakly as a response, the girl began to walk (rather awkwardly now, I might add) to the closet to place the supplies in their proper order.
------------------
The spring rain had struck again. As Retasu (accompained by Ryou) walked out of the cafe, the girl opened up her umbrella.
"I'm sorry you had to walk me in the rain, Shirogane-san..."
The blond shook his head as he held Retasu's umbrella in his hands, motioning for her to walk under it.
"It's.. nothing, Retasu-san." He replied, beginning to walk with her.
The rain continued to drizzle down, silencing the usually busy streets and loud lights of the city. Their walk was unusually silent for a time - only their footsteps pierced the soft rain.
As they stopped in front of Retasu's home, Ryou couldn't help but..feel a little sad. This walk had seemed shorter than usual.
..But he could make it feel longer, couldn't he? A small smile appeared on his face as an idea came to him.
"Oy, Retasu-san! Look at that!"
The mew blinked. What was he referring to? She did what he instructed her to, but she... didn't expect him to kiss her like that.
The umbrella fell down, and the rain began to fall on them. She could feel her hair beginning to fall limply, and her sleeves were beginning to stick to her... but she didn't care.
They were in their own world, and that was all that mattered.
