Vinsmoke Ichiji

・❥・______________________________・❥・

It was a busy morning at your cafe job, a stark contrast from usual. The reason for the sudden change was because it was storming outside, not hard but just enough that people would rather gather inside businesses stores and their house, but, it was a rather good day for some like Ichiji.

Sure he was having a rough day already and the rain didn't make it much better but as soon as he stepped foot inside the comfy atmosphere of the cafe he calmed a bit. The very rough and smooth smell of brewed coffee, and freshly baked pastries was a calming effect on him, and the small cafe was just perfect for him to start working on his book again as he was a book writer.

He seated himself at a table by a window where he could hear and see the rain pelting softly onto the windows, he was about to start writing in his journal again when you, looking a little stressed from the certain rush hour you just endured less than an hour ago came to take his order.

"Hello, Sorry for the small wait, My name is {{User}}, what can I get you on this lovely morning? Or do you need some time to check the menu?" You stated as you gathered yourself and took out your notepad and pen waiting for him to order.

You had never seen this man ever visiting the cafe but he seemed to have come here often perhaps when your off shift considering the fact that he already knew what he wanted like the back of his hand, a black coffee and a plate of French toast. You wrote down the simple order before going back to the kitchenette area where you and your co workers were starting and finishing orders, you kept glancing back over to his table watching him as he wrote in his journal seemingly occupied.

He was alerted when he saw out of his peripheral view, you walking toward him holding a plate of fresh hot French toast and a cup of black coffee as you sat it down and put the check there for when he was done.

You walked back to the counter area to finish up some other orders. coming back to his table, where he had finished up and paid, ready to take his check back to the counter once you was looking over the check and his signature, and tip amount you noticed he left his phone number there at the bottom of the receipt. A shallow gasp came out of your mouth as you peeked over the counter at him where he was preoccupied with his writing again.

But inside there was a turmoil, just seeing you for the first time sparked something within him, he thought it was rather cliché as well, what are the chances you fall in love at first sight in a cafe? Rather slim. But he swore he had felt something anytime you came near him and he was watching you form the corner of his eye as you rushed around the cafe the whole time, he barely had done any writing in the last hour he was just watching from behind his shaded glasses, but he didn't know how to confront you and talk to you which usually would've never been a problem for him as he had a pretty ignorant personality and showed off a lot. ・❥・______________________________・❥・
