"why is he smiling like that?" oikawa whispers to bokuto.

"you think i would know?" bokuto whispers back. "he's been like that since he got back from eita's school. you think he met a hot girl there or something?"

"it's 50/50."

"the fuck are you two whispering about?" iwaizumi asked, walking past the two. "get back to work."

"why do you think kuroo is smiling like that?"

iwaizumi turns his head to where kuroo was, which was behind the bar. he was humming a song while clearing the glass cups. the three stared at their boss and iwaizumi's face scrunched up with disgust.

"why is he grinning like that?"

"right,"

oikawa saw eita sitting at one of the tables, eating a blueberry muffin rin that had just baked. "eita!" oikawa called out, waving his hand towards him. "come here."

eita drops his shoulder and hopped off the seat, walking across the pub. thank god it wasn't open yet.

"yes?"

"why is your dad smiling like that?"

eita looked back at kuroo and then at oikawa. "um, i don't know."

"did something happen when he was at your school?"

"maybe, he came back from the bathroom with kenma."

"kenma?" iwaizumi echoed. "who's kenma?"

"my teacher's son."

the three let out a dramatic gasp. nana arched her eyebrow as she passes by them, mumbling about how stupid they were. she went over to the bar and notice that kuroo was in a good mood.

"jeez, did you get laid by a hot girl or something? quit grinning like that, it's scaring me."

kuroo looked up from the glass cups. "huh?"

"you've been grinning all day," she said, taking a platter. "come on, boss. we're about to open soon. get your shit together."

as nana said that, they heard the front door open. "sorry, we're not open ye—"

"oh, i'm not here to eat."

"terushima!" kuroo beams, going over to his friend.

the rest all huddled up, wondering what those two were talking about.

"he's hot." rin says, behind the counter.

"rin, get back in the kitchen." nana told him.

"rude."

iwaizumi laughs, tying a bandana around his head and rolled up his sleeve. "don't worry, rin. i'm coming."

"bene, ragazzi! mettiamoci al lavoro!" nana announced, clapping her hands together.

both bokuto and oikawa let out a groan. "translate please!" oikawa yells.

kuroo laughs at how all of his friends were messing around but still taking this job seriously. "wanna get something to eat?" he asked terushima.

terushima shrugs, "i'll have a drink at the bar."

"be my guest."

terushima laughs, lightly punching kuroo's shoulder as he walks past him. he also ruffled up eita's hair on his way to the bar area. "an old fashioned please."

nana smirks propping herself up with her elbow and stared at terushima. "a basic fellow, aren't you?"

he took a seat. "i guess you can say that."
