*****

A usual Tuesday morning. The sun was rising, the birds were chirping and the coffee aroma was filling the air. Soraru and Urata both grew used to these kinds of mornings as they would spend them together wether they liked it or not.

This bickering that they always had in between them, was just their way of getting along. And neither of them ever did anything to stop it. They had grown used to it, having known each other since middle school.

Back then, they would have never thought they would even get remotely along because of certain circumstances. But now, they have opened a café together and see each other every day.

Despite the constant arguing and bickering, those two still considered each other as friends. So of course, Urata would notice something was off with the raven-haired male.

Especially, since he was staring at this piece of plastic for the whole god damn time.

Knowing Soraru though, he also knew that the ravenette wouldn't just give him a clear answer. So all he could do is wait and see how this goes on. Noticing that it was almost 7 am, Urata looked at the door, expecting it to open anytime soon which exactly happened as the door opened and the bell chimed along with it.

And as it did, a familiar redhead stepped inside the coffee shop as the brunet sighed and got to the counter. He was surprised though, to see an albino also entering as the red-haired male was usually the only customer ever visiting at this hour.

Nevertheless, he decided to put on his neutral face as he bowed slightly.

"Welcome to Sakura no Haru. What would you like to order?", he asked them as the redhead decided to order first with a bright smile.

"Good Morning, Urata-san! I'd like one caramel macchiato with extra cream, extra caramel, extra syrup, additional chocolate sauce, chocolate sprinkles, double caramel, more whipped cream and a lot of chocolate powder on the cream please!", Sakata placed his order as Urata didn't say anything and only scribbled down the order while the albino only giggled.

"You really do need a lot of sugar, huh, Sakatan?", he asked the other male who smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Well, I won't be able to concentrate on my lessons otherwise!", he said as the albino nodded. "And what will you have?", Urata asked as he looked at the albino who was startled on suddenly being addressed.

"Eh? Uh, well, I don't know yet...", Mafumafu said as he looked down embarrassed, expecting the brunet to be annoyed.

Instead, he only leaned onto the counter as he lightly hit the blackboard with his pen to get the albino's attention there which succeeded.

"These are our daily recommendations if you can't choose. If you want something else you can just check our menu here.", the brunet said as he pointed on the blackboard above him.

"E-eh? Ah, thank you.", Mafumafu thanked the older male. "No problem.", he said before leaning slightly back and raising his voice.

"Oi, Soraru! We got another customer so come here and take his order while I make this idiot's stupid macchiato.", the brunet shouted which caused the redhead to pout as he crossed his arms, huffing. "I am not an idiot!", he exclaimed as the brunet only rolled his eyes.

"Oh, really? I will believe you if you prove me wrong.", he said as he went to make the order as Sakata only pouted even more and sat on the chair in front of the counter.

"Well, you show me prove that I actually am an idiot!", Sakata exclaimed as Urata simply ignored him and started to get out the ingredients he needed for the younger male's drink. (A/N: Urata is my 666th word in here wow ww Is he actually Satan— I will shut up, I'm sorry)

The door to the staff room opened as a raven-haired male stepped outside, fixing his uniform which was a white shirt and black pants with a simple apron over it. "You are so loud... couldn't you have called for me in another way?", the ravenette complained as he yawned as the brunet started to get some cream to put it on the drink.

"Nah, it's way more fun to annoy you.", Urata said with a mischievous grin as the older male only sighed before noticing someone staring at him as he turned to see the same customer from the day before, standing there.

"Oh, you were the one from yesterday. Did you come because you forgot your Student ID Card?", Soraru asked as it took a few seconds before the older male pulled out the albino's ID card as the younger male widened his eyes in shock.

"I thought I lost it! So it was here... Thank you very much for keeping it, Soraru-san!", Mafumafu exclaimed as the older male looked at the younger male confused.

"How do you know my name?", Soraru asked as the albino flinched before looking at the redhead who was currently talking to the brunet as the older male nodded understanding.

"I see. So you are a friend of Sakata. Anyways, judging from your reaction, you didn't come here because you lost your Student ID Card. Are you here to order something?", Soraru asked as he gave the albino his card back which the younger male took, silently thanking him.

"Ah, yes! I decided to accompany Sakata for today because I have a lesson soon anyway.", Mafumafu explained as the ravenette nodded in response. "I see... What would you like to order?", Soraru asked as the albino flinched at that, forgetting that he still had to do that.

So he quickly looked at the recommendations before deciding on his order.

"I'd like to have the coffee latte with a croissant please.", Mafumafu said as the ravenette nodded, not needing to write it down.

"Do you want to have it here or take it with you?", the older male asked. "I will take it with me today because I have a lesson soon.", Mafumafu explained as the raven-haired merely nodded before starting to brew some coffee as the albino watched the older male in amazement.

Unlike the cafés where they used coffee machines and such, the ravenette made it in front of him as he could see the whole process of how the coffee was made.

The raven-haired male made everything quickly before pouring it into a cup and closing the lid before taking a croissant and putting it into a paper bag before handing it over to the albino.

"That will be 350 yen then.", he said as Mafumafu handed him the money before taking the things from the counter, noticing that it was almost time for his lesson.

"Well, I'll be going now then. I hope you two will have a nice day!", Mafumafu told them as they nodded. "See you later, Mafudon!", Sakata exclaimed as Mafumafu nodded. "See you later, Sakatan!", he replied.

"Good luck on your studies.", Soraru said as the albino flashed him a small smile in response, nodding before exiting the coffee shop leaving the other three behind.

"Well, I will go back in my room so just call me if you need me.", Soraru said as Urata nodded, watching the ravenette leave the front room.

"So that piece of plastic that he was staring at the whole time was actually the Student ID Card of that university student... The two of them seemed kinda weird while talking to each other for some reason. I guess I will just watch how this goes on for now. Maybe get some blackmail material and—"

"Urata-san, why are you spacing out?", the red-haired make asked as he waved his one free hand in front of the brunet's face while the other hand was holding his drink.

"None of your business.", Urata answered as he lightly swatted the redhead's hand away. "Anyways, why are you still here? You would usually always have to leave for your class or something, right?", Urata asked as the younger male nodded.

"Usually, yeah! But today, classes were dismissed which I basically just got told when I was already out of my dorm so I got the whole day off~ But cause I was awake anyway and am a loyal customer of this shop, I decided to come here as always!", Sakata exclaimed proudly.

"No need to come here everyday. I think both me and Soraru would be happy not to have to see that kind of order again.", Urata said as he stared at the drink in front of him.

"How mean! It really tastes good though! You should try it! Here! Try it!", Sakata urged the brunet as he held his drink towards the older male who only turned away to not have to look at it and pushed the cup away from him.

"No, thank you. I can already imagine the sugar rush that I could get just from drinking one sip.", Urata said as Sakata pouted but took the cup back nevertheless as he took a sip from it.

"Even though it tastes so good though...", he said as Urata rolled his eyes in response. "Anyways, since I have the day off, I thought that I could stay here a bit and we could talk more together!", Sakata exclaimed as the brunet rose an eyebrow. "And why would I do that?", Urata asked.

"Well, there is nothing bad that could happen! Also, I'm sure you don't have much to do right now because there aren't any customers besides me here right now.", Sakata said as Urata clicked his tongue before sighing and nodding.

"Sure. I guess there is no harm in talking a bit with you.", Urata said as the younger male cheered happily. "Yay~ Urata-san accepted~ By the way, I have always been wondering is if this coffee shop belongs to the two of you!

After all, you two still look young and such! How old are you anyway?", Sakata asked as the brunet wondered if the redhead was too much of an idiot or just didn't care about just asking questions like that. He just guessed it was the first of the two before answering.

"Well, we just somehow ended up opening a coffee shop randomly. We honestly didn't expect that we would end up like this, considering the majors that we studied for. Also, I'm 21.", Urata answered as he decided to make himself something to drink if he was going to have a conversation with the younger male anyway.

"I see... You are two years older than me then...", Sakata mumbled more to himself than to Urata before snapping out of his thoughts and talking to the older male again.

"So the two of you didn't even want to open up a café in the beginning? What majors did you study?", Sakata asked tilting his head. "I used to study literature.", Urata answered.

"Oh! I have the same major! What about Soraru-san?", Sakata asked as the brunet thought about it for a second before answering.

"He took Criminology and Criminal Justice as his major.", Urata said as the redhead widened his eyes. "Eh?! He did? He doesn't look like it... Why did he take it though if he ended up opening a café with you?", Sakata asked.

"You sure like to pry into things, don't you?", Urata asked as the younger male pouted in response. "How mean! I am just curious is all!", Sakata defended himself as the older male rolled his eyes but nodded.

"Sure sure. Why Soraru took Criminology and Criminal Justice as his major as his major huh... The truth is... that his little sister got kidnapped in the past. They saved her afterwards and the police got her back...

But that trauma caused Soraru to want to punish all of the criminals like the kidnapper who abducted his younger sister... And so, he decided to study Criminology and Criminal Justice.", Urata explained with a serious expression as the redhead looked at the brunet shocked.

"Eh?! Is his sister alright?!", Sakata asked worried. "She is... Soraru had to help her through her trauma for years though... and that's why he despised every criminal and got a strong sense of law ever since then.", Urata said.

"I-I see... Is Soraru-san alright now?", Sakata asked with a worried expression. Having a trauma had to leave some scars even on someone like Soraru who looked emotionless.

"...He is. More or less I would say. You know, Soraru used to be a pretty open and cheerful guy. But after that incident... he changed. And all I can do is do my best to see if he is alright. I guess I really am a useless friend.", Urata said sighing.

"You are not! You are worrying about him and are always doing your best! And you care even if you don't show it! You are a wonderful friend!", Sakata exclaimed as he slammed his hands on the table, surprising Urata as he widened his eyes and looked down. "I see... You believe me huh...", Urata said as Sakata nodded.

"Yes! I am sure you will find ways to help Soraru-san!", Sakata exclaimed determined.

"How did you guys end up opening a coffee shop though if Soraru-san was so determined to study criminology?", Sakata asked tilting his head.

"Oh, you see... Pfft— Soraru was a very Pffft— He was a very—", Urata couldn't stop himself anymore as he started laughing uncontrollably, hitting the counter several times, startling and confusing the red-haired male.

"E-eh? Urata-san?", Sakata asked. "Oh my god... You really did believe me! I thought you would not be that much of an idiot to believe such an unbelievable story like this but you did! Oh god you really are an idiot.", Urata said as he continued on laughing. "Wha— Urata-san! I was actually worried!", Sakata exclaimed.

"I know ww That is the fun part.", Urata snickered as he had a small mischievous grin on his face.

And Sakata was surprised to see that the brunet had a side like this as he usually only saw the brunet with a scowl, an annoyed expression or an emotionless one.

And for some reason, despite just being fooled, the redhead felt as if he wouldn't mind that if he could see the brunet like that.

And so, he smiled happily as the brunet noticed that and his expression changed back to his annoyed one. "What are you smiling all stupidly about?", he asked as he crossed his arms as Sakata only took his drink and took a sip from it before answering.

"It's just that I am happy to see a new side of Urata-san!", Sakata exclaimed smiling cheerfully as the brunet's face turned slightly red.

"Shut up, idiot. You are spouting nonsense again.", Urata said as the redhead pouted at being called an idiot again. "Anyways, what is the actual truth? I am confused on what is right and what is wrong now.", Sakata told the brunet.

"I guess I can tell you after the kind of reaction I got.... I guess the acting lessons paid off for situations such like this.

Well, Soraru did in fact study Criminology and Criminal Justice. But it wasn't for any noble reason or anything like I just said.

Hah... It would be nice if it was a reason like that. But the reality is that he only took that major because his friend suggested him to take it.

You see, when we were in high school, the two of us and two other people were in the classics club. There were a lot of mysteries and Soraru was good at solving them for some reason.

Our friend was someone who was really curious so he had to solve those mysteries for her. Seeing him so tired and annoyed was fun so I decided to make her meet him often so he would be something else other than emotionless~ It worked better than I thought and those two actually got really close.", Urata explained as Sakata tilted his head.

"Were those two in love?", he asked. "That is something I don't know. Ask him if you really want to know.", Urata said shrugging.

"Alright! Still thank you for telling me all of this! How did you guys open the coffee shop though? You both studied different majors, right?", Sakata asked as Urata sighed.

"Just because we took those majors doesn't mean that we ended up finding a job with that. Some people find something else after they graduate. And that's just what happened to the two of us.", Urata explained shrugging as the younger male hummed. "Why a café though? Neither of you ever thought about it right?", Sakata asked.

"Well... this shop once had an old man who was working here. (A/N: No, not Soraru)

When Soraru and I still went to university, we often went here to drink his coffee. He loved this coffee shop, was really nice and offered us to work part time here.

He decided to stop working though so because me and Soraru both wanted to help him for what he did for us, we decided to work here full time.

It is nice here anyway and we both learned to enjoy to make coffee and such. I learned to make some unique drinks while Soraru learned to make his usual boring coffee with some coffee art I guess.", Urata explained.

"Didn't expect a boring answer like this?", Urata asked as he looked at the redhead who shook his head, smiling softly at the brunet.

"No. I think it was a really nice story. And I learned that despite your character, you are really nice, Urata-san.", Sakata said as the older male widened his eyes in surprise before a light blush settled on his face. "Oi, shut up with this nonsense before I make you.", he warned as the younger male only giggled in response.

"Yes~ Anyways—", a ringtone interrupted them as they both flinched surprised, Sakata looking around before taking out his phone which was the cause of this. He looked at the Caller ID before picking the call up and placing the phone on his ear.

"Hello? Senra-kun? Eh? You need help? With what? Ehhh.... But— Fine....", after the phone call ended, Sakata put his phone back into his pocket sighing as he looked at the brunet with a pouty expression.

"I have to go and help my friend with something now...", he explained dejected as Urata hummed. "I see. Go then.", Urata said as he waved his hand in a bored manner. Sakata only sulked until he had an idea and his smile returned.

"Ah, I know! I will just give you my phone number! So we can talk more!", Sakata suggested as the brunet looked at him with a deadpanning look. "...What?", he asked.

"I want to talk to you more because I really had a lot of fun today!", Sakata explained as he took out a pen and the napkin of his drink before his smile fell. "Ah. I forgot my phone number. Wait, I will look it up in my phone!", Sakata told as he scrambled to find his phone again, struggling to do so.

Seeing that, Urata only wanted to ask himself how much of an idiot the redhead really was.

In the end, he just sighed as he took the napkin and the pen which laid on the wooden counter and scribbled something down before calling out to the younger male.

"Oi, you. Take this and go away.", Urata said as Sakata looked back up, confused when he saw the brunet holding a napkin with some numbers written on it. Urata noticed that the younger male didn't say anything because he probably didn't process what he did as he only sighed in exasperation before deciding to explain it.

"My number. You wanted to talk right? And you took an eternity for everything so I decided to make it fast.", Urata explained as Sakata stared at the napkin for one more minute before a bright smile settled on his face as he took it with both hands. "Thank you for giving it to me, Urata-san! I will make sure to text you a lot!", he promised.

"Don't or I will block you.", Urata threatened as the redhead only ignored that and stood up.

"I will go now and help Senra-kun but I will text you later in the afternoon! Thanks for the drink! See you later!", Sakata exclaimed as he waved at the older male before rushing out of the café, leaving Urata behind.

Now, as it became quiet, because of the redhead being gone, Urata looked at the now empty drink on the counter as he took it and searched the next trash can to throw it away.

"How can that idiot even drink something as sugary as this?", Urata asked himself as he stared at the cup for a few more seconds before letting it fall into the trash can.

"That guy.... he was so annoying, throwing all of those questions at me.

Why did I decide to give him my number again?", the brunet questioned himself as he finished his own drink before going to wash it.

"Whatever, I will just ignore him if he texts me.", Urata muttered for himself and just as he did, he felt his phone light up as he unlocked the screen to see that an unknown number had texted him.

Sakata: Hey, Urata-san, it's me, Sakata! ( ' ▽ ' ) Just wanted to tell you that I had a lot of fun talking to you today! I have to go and actually help my friend with sth now but do you have time this evening? If yes, I would really want to talk a bit with you! Cause talking to Urata-san was fun! So do you want to talk a bit more later? I would be really really reallyyyyyyy happy (๑>◡<๑)

Seeing that message, made Urata scoff from the kaomojis and text speech that the redhead used. Nevertheless, he couldn't bring himself to decline the younger male's offer for some reason despite how he always tells the red-haired male how annoying he is and how he should leave him alone. And so, Urata slowly typed in a response for the younger male, accepting Sakata's offer as a response came immediately after that.

Urata: Sure. I guess I have some time to spare

Sakata: Yaaaaaaay~! I look forward to talking to you later then! Good luck with work, Urata-san!

And without realizing it, a small smile settled on his face after he read that message as he put the phone away and continued cleaning some things up.

And for the rest of the day, both Soraru and the customers were surprised by the brunet who, for the first time since some time, had a good mood while working.
