Chapter Twenty-Eight

It had been roughly a week since I had started at the little maid cafe. I couldn't deny it, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I constantly messed up customer orders, made messes, or even messed up at the register.

If it wasn't for Shinso, I probably would have been fired my first day.

"Just relax and take your time. Nobody is perfect their first day, or even week for that matter." He would constantly fix my messes. I couldn't help but apologize all the time, and felt like I was in his debt now. Although he didn't seem too worried about it. He would always just smile and shake his head, telling me not to worry.

Of course, my nerves also hit when Katsuki came to the cafe. He would always visit near the end of my shift, and stayed to walk me home.

He always ordered the same thing, warm green tea. He would always take his time drinking it, and I knew he watched me closely while he was there. 

Part of me wanted to think he was just being sweet, but the other part noticed one particular thing during his time; he would always eye Shinso. I really wasn't surprised when he acted rude or snarky towards him. I would constantly apologize for his behavior to Shinso, though of course, he told me not to worry.

I think every day I apologized for something at least a hundred times.

"You can go home early tonight, if you want, (Y/N)." Shinso offered Friday night. I looked up at him as I was cleaning off a table. It had been a rough night. We just kept getting swarmed with customer after customer. I was supposed to leave an hour ago, but decided to stay and help with the chaos.

"Are you sure?" I asked. "I don't mind helping clean up. It was chaos today." I smiled at him, holding the dirty washrag in my hand. Before I could continue to clean the table I was at, Shinso stopped me by placing his hand on mine. Shocked, I looked up into his tired eyes.

Tired as he looked, he didn't act it. "It's alright. Plus, I think your boyfriend is getting angsty." He said, nodding towards the window. I looked over, and tried my best to hide my laughter. Katsuki was grinding his teeth, giving Shinso a death glare.

"He isn't my boyfriend." I told him as I removed my hand from his and handed him the cloth. "But, thank you." I smiled, giving him a little bow and walking into the back to clock out. "See you Monday at school!" I waved lightly at him, and him returning a wave back.

I made my way outside and greeted the angry blonde. "Hey baby, how much you charge?" I grinned as he looked at me confused, now. "You're out in the dark, waiting on the side- you know what never mind." I groaned, shifting my maid skirt.

"What? Hey, wait!" He growled, chasing after me down the street. "Why was that mind freak touching your hand?" He growled, trying to stop me.

"Oh, we're madly in love. He proposed." I joked, looking back at him and sticking my tongue at him, which only made hi angrier. I swear I saw smoke coming from his ears.

He finally had enough of my antics, and grabbed me by my arm, forcing me to turn and face him. My eyes widened as I stared into his crimson red eyes, our bodies were close together. I placed my hands on his shoulders, trying to keep myself from him.

"Look. I just want to know if.. If something is going on with you and Mind Freak." He growled lowly, refusing to let me go.

Because it was dark, it was hard to see if he was blushing or not. He tried looking away, hoping I wouldn't notice.

"Listen, Katsu.." I said softly. I leaned my head forward, my forhead now laying against his chest. It felt warm, and safe. His hand finally let go of my arm, and gently caressed my back now. Even if he wasn't blushing, I was doing enough of it for the both of us now.
