(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 16

Everyone at the break room stares quizzically at you. Both of you. They can't believe their ears after hearing what sasuke tells them.

"Excuse me?" Konan is the one who breaks the silence.

"Like i said just now, this girl over here became reckless at someone else's house and got her hands injured. I am partly responsible for this unexpected incidence, so I'm going to do her part at work today."

Sasuke explains himself again.

Suddenly, hidan grabs sasuke by the collar and glare angrily at him.

"What the hell do you mean by (name)'s hand is injured because of you? And like hell am i going to let a brat like you to take her place."

The words drop like bombs on sasuke's face. However, he doesn't respond a bit. Sasori quickly pulls hidan away.

"Stop it. I hate childish fights." He says.

You lets out a relieved sigh.

"Listen, sasuke. Just stop with this nonsense and go home, alright? I am fine. So please, don't bother yourself. Anyway, this is a staff room. You're not supposed to be here..."

Sasuke suddenly takes your bandaged hand in his. Hidan and tobi have already charged towards him but are stopped by deidara.

You stare at his earnest eyes, your heart starts to pound again at his sharp gaze. Then suddenly, sasuke squeezes your injured hand hard to the point of bone breaking.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! IT HURTS, YOU FOOL!"

The scream almost cause the restaurant to collapse. You jig while holding your hand in pain.

Still wearing the same blank expression, sasuke says at you.

"Well, now you're not fine."

Whaaaaaatt??!!!!!!!

He hurts you just because of that?!!!

Then, sasuke bows towards your coworkers.

"Please, let me replace her just for today. I won't charge anything for my service." He says.

"You useless brat...!" Hidan charges towards him.

"Stop it, hidan!" Yahiko finally speaks.
He then turns his gaze towards sasuke.

"Alright then. I'll let you replace her for today."

"B-but, leader...!"

"However!" Tobi's complanation is stopped.

"I DON'T compromise any mistakes."

Yahiko declares in a stern voice. This brings a smile to sasuke's lips.

"You bet." is all what he says.

Then, yahiko warns everyone not to mess with him and help him in what he needs.

Even though he is reluctant, hidan does not complain and obey his manager. Meanwhile, you are ordered to stay at the back and help only with what you can. Having no choice but to follow his orders, you can only sigh.

"Mango pudding and hot chocolate for table 6!"

Mei informs the two chefs at the back, kakuzu and kisame.

"Chicken soup for table fifteen, please!"

Tobi adds.

"Green tea for table 4 is done!"
This time, konan, that is in charge of drinks shouts. Briskly, sasori comes and takes the drink to bring it to the customer.

It is unexpectedly busy and hectic back at the kitchen. So many customers have come tonight, thus putting you and your coworkers in a total mess.

"(Name), can you please hand me the milk?" Konan asks.

"Y-yeah, sure. Here it is." You extend your hand to a bottle of milk on the shelf and hand it over to konan.

You are ordered to help her while sasuke takes your place as a waiter.

Oh, that's right. Speaking of sasuke, where is he?

Your eyes search through the flood of customers to look for him. But you can't seem to find him anywhere.

"Ah!" Your eyes sparkled as you see a black haired guy looking so handsome in his uniform talking while smiling to a few female customers.

Wait, he is smiling?!

And look, he says something to the customers that makes them laugh. Sasuke excuses himself and walks away, but he is called by the other female customer from another table.

Speaking of which, most of the customers here tonight are young girls. And the drinks that were ordered are also drinks that teenagers would love.

So they are here because of sasuke, is it?

The girls are talking happily with him as the smile never leaves their lips. Sasuke is also responding to them with a very kind smile and politeness.

You feel an acute pain clutch onto your chest as you watch them talk.

"(Name)?" Konan calls out to you, bringing you back to reality.

"Y-yes? Do you need something?" The question remains unanswered as she only stares at you, then at the direction you were looking ; sasuke.

Suddenly, a sigh escapes from her mouth.

"You know what, (name), we've never received this much customers before, or should i say, this much female customers before. Of course, no doubt that they are here for sasuke-kun. Even the girls that usually come because of sasori have also shifted their interest to sasuke-kun. However, sasuke-kun is only doing his job carefully, that is treating the customers well and fulfilling their needs, no matter what gender they are. He is not flirting. So this is not the right time to be jealous, alright?"

Your face quickly turns red after listening to konan's last sentence.

Jealous?! You?! Like seriously?!

"W-what nonsense are you talking about?! Me? Jealous for the likes of sasuke? Hell no!" The words slip out of your mouth spontaneously.

Konan smiles.

"Are you sure about that?"

You glare at her.

"Of course! Just, please, can we get back to work?"

She laughs softly and still with a teasing smile on her lips, continues her duty.

Meanwhile, you take a glance again at sasuke, that is now attending to an old man, still with the smile on his lips. He looks so charming, smiling like that.

'Duties, huh.'
