Cosplay Cafe | Job | Gil & Nai

I FEEL IT ALL IN THE CENTER OF MY HEART

you're the love of my life

"Wha-!?" startled, a firm arm wrapped around his shoulder, forcefully urging him into Gil's side. His face seemed to grow even redder than before, anxious at how close he was to the blonde when there had been such a large gap between them before. With quivering lips and a nervous frown, he peered up at Gil as he referred to him as "his treasure", which for some reason sent the raven-haired youth panicking mentally inside his imaginative mind. "You bastard," he seethed through his teeth, quiet enough so that only he could hear. He wanted to knee him extremely hard out of the rage and embarrassment that was crowded within him, but instead, he decided he'd just get some payback out of this mess. "W-What kind of pose would you like ladies?" trying his best to contain himself, he watched as the two girls glanced at one another. Leaning across the table and whispering something for a brief moment before they turned back toward the two, fidgeting timidly.

"U-Uhm, could you guys kiss?" the girl on the right said, twiddling her thumbs as Nai's crimson irises lit up in pure bliss. He was so grateful this girl had given him an opportunity to possible embarrass Gil for the rest of his life. Turning toward Gil, amusement painted his features as he leaned up, coiling his hands around the back of his neck as his lips crashed forcefully onto his. It was a brief, sloppy kiss, and he doubted the blonde would be able to react from such a bold action as he casually pulled away, grinning childishly. The whole cafe' noticed. And mostly girls lit up into screams of shock as the two girls at their current table nose-bled at such a sight before them. Yes, this was perfect. Nai felt pleased with himself... for a few moments. And then. He no longer felt egoistic, or proud, or confident in his action but deeply embarrassed. A hand hoisted up to rest on his forehead, blocking most of his face as he gaped wide-eyed at the floor and then turned on his heel toward the kitchen. What the hell did I do!? Why would I kiss that stupid blonde!? Shit! This job is dead! ; he thought, mentally screaming at himself as he stood in the change-room trying to calm his thoughts.

A boisterous manly scream could be heard from the change-room, startling most kitchen workers who flinched in response to the distressed sound. They brushed it away though, as if they were accustomed to such odd behaviour, returning back to cooking and preparing meals. An aroma of cafe' sweets and alluring coffee wafted throughout the place, reaching the nose of a raven-haired youth who's nose twitched in reply. Nai lastly peered up through his unorganized ebony locks, recognizing he had been in here an awfully long time while trying to calm himself down. Which. Had actually been quite awhile ago, if not for him diving to deeply into his thoughts. He straightened his posture, quickly smoothing out his hair and patting down this frilly maid costume. Awkwardly the young man turned on his heels and out into the kitchen, walking so silently by the workers that it was as if his feet were not even touching the ground.

"Wow, I wondered myself, but I couldn't believe it was actually true." the owner said, approaching him with a blush streaked across her face. She shyly twiddled with her fingers, and Nai watched her with a baffled expression, standing back in the main part of the cafe whilst the owner stood before him, "Y-Y-You and him make a really b-beautiful couple!" blurting out such a bold and rather embarrassing remark, Nai was suddenly back to being a flustered mess, gritting his teeth together and softly biting his tongue, holding back any venom like words from rolling out of his mouth. I mean, how could he say anything? It didn't make sense for him to protest to these odd people that they weren't a couple, certainly after he had just kissed the blonde... very passionately. Shit! Come'on Nai, hold yourself together. This will all be over soon! ; yes yes, he should be thinking positively. There was no way Gil would bother him after such an action earlier before... at least he hoped so.

"Ah! S-Sorry! You should be taking orders, not listening to me t-talk about such things!" once again, the owner scurried off like an embarrassed mess, leaving him to blink awkwardly at her as she left him in the now exciting atmosphere of the cafe'. A sigh brushed past his lips, and just as he was about to turn over to a table that was more calmer than the rest, a pair of extended hues met his gaze. Instantly, he halted in place, noticing the blonde was not near the table that was ushering for him to approach. Mentally shrugging to himself, he hesitantly neared the table, assuming it couldn't of been as bad as the one before-hand. "Hey hey! So you guys are really a couple?" one of the girls questioned, kneading her arms against the table as her two friends across from her squirmed restlessly in their seats. "Could you invite him over here? We never got a chance to talk with him yet.." the shyest of the group mumbled a question that almost made the raven-haired youth choke on his own saliva, face running pale as he was aware the blonde most likely over-heard her question.

As soon as that broad arm snaked around his shoulders; an overwhelming shiver crawled up his spine, causing him to shudder briefly as he stood there red-faced. Maybe I should run? No.. that would look too suspicious. I'll just walk away instead!~ ; he smiled slightly to himself, quite confident in turning away from the blonde as his arm slid away from him so he could listen to the bashful young girl. A vein pulsed on the side of his fore-head, but he seemed to hold off his irritation with a wide grin, his foot shifting forward toward another hopeful table. Although, just as his foot barely touched the ground, Gil forcefully hauled him back into his side. "W-What?!" the raven-haired youth barked, his voice coming out in a loud an irked whisper. He was clearly not comfortable now that this blonde found a way to tease him, but he could've also been doing the same if he hadn't gotten so flustered over a kiss.

His teeth clenched together, holding back any foul words from departing from his mouth as he watched that stupid blonde spout nonsense to the girls before them. They're so stupid..! What kind of couple would come here and dress up as maids anyway!? ; he wondered, his thoughts producing comically fumes of rage before Gil's sentence pulled him back into reality. "Huh?" he blinked, unsure if he had actually heard the blonde correctly, observing with unraveling fear as his hand gripped the back of his neck, lips meeting his own. A loud moan of protest came from within his sealed lips, gradually growing weaker under the man until the kiss lastly broke, allowing him to gasp for air. But, Gil on the other hand did not seem the slightest affected by his action, whilst a comical bomb of steam went off around Nai's deeply flushed face. And with that, the youthful raven-haired man found himself casually falling back onto the floor.. unconscious.

Pain? That was the primary question to his awakening as he leant up with a soft groan of discomfort. His free hand impending toward the back of his head and entangling through his wavy dark locks. His head, which felt swollen from either falling onto the ground or possibly being placed rather roughly onto this firm bench was meagerly sore as he stood to his feet, rooted into his thoughts. He had an idea of who had carried him here, and his brows furrowed in utter annoyance at the victory the blonde was probably feeling right now. Because he had fainted like some fragile woman and behaved like some flustered little girl, he was entirely aware that Gil would most likely advise him of this terrible moment for the rest of his life. And would always have the advantage of getting him to either be embarrassed or just plain pissed off. Either way, he wasn't going to allow him to continue his antics anymore and grasped onto his almost paling composure; hollow expression painting his features while his ringed irises pratically screamed how genuinely serious he now was.

In the distant sound of kitchen work and customers conversing in chatter, he casually made his way back into the cafe', his crimson pools faltering along the place for a table that was waiting. Which.. was unforunately just a few teens and a whole crap load of children. From the kids he had served so far, he was already dreading the encounter with them, and instead advanced toward a table crowded with teenage girls. Thankfully not being cosplay fans. "Hello there, sorry to keep you waiting.~" he said in a rather cheery voice, the girls gaping up at him with an aura of admiration twinkling in their eyes. Just like usual, a blush grooved along their faces, a smile, not obviously fake to some, stretched onto the corner of his lips. "Are you alright? W-We saw you faint earlier." one of the youthful girls uttered, her words barely managing to escape her quivering figure that still peered up at him with hopeful eyes. Her gaze was just as desperate as the voice inside his head, mentally wishing that this job would end before any more people could step into the cafe'. Although, none the less, he settled that instead of acting like such a defeated failure, he would spill a bunch of lies to these girls. Because of course, the game was not over yet.

Nai lifted his right hand to discreetly scratch the nape of his neck; his gaze was focused on the floor, making him seem as though he were growing rather shy as a barely noticable blush grew onto his cheeks. "T-The truth is, I wasn't feeling all too great.. But, you see.. M-My treasure really wanted to help out this place. He had been preparing for the past two weeks, and I was glad to be tagging along with him. Although, yesterday... I got a fever, and could barely manage to stand.. But of course, I couldn't tell him.. After all he was so excited that I was coming along.. I didn't want to crush this day for him.." tears began to form into his eyes, "Not to mention that I had kissed him.. T-That was my first kiss too.. And I feel so ashamed I couldn't of made it more special.." he began to cry, holding up both his hands to shelter his face as the teenage girls at his table were also crying at his fake little story. One of them quickly grabbed onto a handkerchief in their purse, holding it out for Nai as he peered up at the girl with a swayed expression. "I-I couldn't possibly take this.." he mumbled, and the girl rapidly shook her head, urging for him to take it gently into his hands. Nai gathered it at his chest, a smile tracing his lips as he looked up at the girls with a rather, enchanting aura suddenly floating around him. Everybody (mainly girls), flinched at his breath-taking expression, their eyes comically turning into hearts as he delicately wiped his tears away with the soft fabric.
