3rd POV~
Y/n and Umetaro were casually cooking dinner when they heard Umetaro's phone ringing
Umetaro answered the call to hear Ken-san's voice, while Y/n didn't pay them much attention until she heard the editor scold her brother
"I'm directing this at you!" Ken yelled through the phone
The girl then started to get weirded out by her brother saying that Suzuki would be his type if he was a girl
"What on earth are you talking about?" she asked not knowing if she had to be concerned for him
○○○
"So Ken-san asked you to include more emotions in your characters"
"Yeah, I think he meant, if i were in the manga as Mamiko, how would i feel?"
The twins then started to read through the manga to see the romantic scenes between Mamiko and Suzuki
"Those two only think about love" Y/n commented "and don't study at all"
》》》
Y/n's POV~
So... nii-chan insisted on making lunch today, he even made six extras for other people
He also asked me to call him Mamiko, he has some weird ideas...
Welp, at least I did't have to worry about making lunch today
Although onii-chan's idea had me thinking... when a girl tries to show affection to someone, a way to do it is to make lunch for them?
"Mikoshiba" I heard nii-chan call out to someone in my class "If you haven't had lunch yet, would you like this?"
"Huh? What's this for?" Mikoshiba-kun asked
"I made too much lunch. Have some" he said as he did a cutesy punch to his own head
Mikoshiba-kun seemed sceptical about eating lunch made by another guy but when he tasted it, his face lit up at how delicious it was
I guess my cooking advise helped
"Really?! Y/n's cooking advise really helped then" onii-chan commented
Did he read my mind or something?
I didn't get to completely process my thoughts, when I noticed Mikoshiba-kun was glancing at me
After like three seconds of just looking at each other we both turned to onii-chan but he was already gone
"Your cooking's really good" I heard him complement me
"But I didn't make that"
"I know, but you've cooked for me and Sakura before and Nozaki learned from you, right?"
"Ah, right... thanks" I don't usually get complements like this
"Also, I was wondering... " he trailed off
"Hm?"
"W-well I know how you usually make lunch for Nozaki s-so I thought maybe y-you could... um" he stuttered as he rubbed the back of his neck
"Do you want me to make you lunch tomorrow?" my question seemed to catch him off guard
"E-eh?! W-well if you would't mind-"
"I wouldn't" I said as laid my arms and head on my desk to take a nap "I'll bring you a bento tomorrow"
"O-oh, thanks"
Mikoshiba-kun gets flustered so easily, it's kinda fun to toy with him and see his blushing face
°°°
"Ne, Hori-senpai" I called out
"Hm?"
"Have you seen my brother by any chance?"
Sakura and I have been looking for nii-chan so we can walk home together for ten minutes, but I can't find him anywhere
"Oh, no I haven't seen him, but can I ask a favor?"
"Sure"
"Kashima's skipping drama club again, could you look for her?"
"Again?" I asked as an irk mark appeared on my forehead
"Yeah, I know your good at tracking her down, I'll look for Nozaki too if you want" he offered
"Yeah, sure, it's kinda my job babysitting her now anyway" I said I walked away
Great, now I have two people to find
I then noticed Mikoshiba-kun walking out the building, maybe he saw nii-chan
"Mikoshiba-kun" I waved at him
"Oh, hey Y/n"
"Have you seen my brother or Yu-chan anywhere?" I asked
"Uh no, I can't say that I have" he said "Why?"
"Well Yu-chan's skipping club and I can't find nii-chan"
"She's skipping club again... Um do you want me to help you find them?"
"Huh? Oh, I wouldn't want you to waste your time-" he cut me off
"N-no! It's no worries! Kashima's my friend too, so I should help"
"Right, thanks"

3rd POV~
The two students continued to search for their friends, when they heard various footsteps behind them
"Hm?" they turned around to see the two people the were looking for
And a horde of yelling fangirls
The group was running so fast that all Mikoshiba could do was brace himself for the impact, but hit never came
Instead he felt a tug on the back of his shirt, he was suddenly yanked to side safe from running crowd
Before the boy could hit the ground he felt two small arms catching breaking his fall
"Huh?" he looked up to see a pair of slightly widened (e/c) eyes looking back at him
His eyes widened even more when he notice who was holding him, he felt his cheeks getting warm as he felt the girl's breath on his skin
Y/n quikly let go of Mikoshiba, startled by how close he was, the poor man fell to the floor
"Ow"
"You okay?" Y/n asked as she hid her flushed face with her hair
"Y-yeah" he said as he stood up "But what were those two doing?"
They looked back at the disaster duo running away from the crazy girls
Before Y/n could answer her phone started ringing, she answered to here her manager's voice
"Hi, manager-san, do you need anything?"
'Manager-san?' Mikoshiba thought to himself 'Oh right, she said she had a part-time job'
"Cover up Subaru-senpai's shift? Yeah, I can do that" she spoke "When does her shift start?"
"In 20 minutes?!" Y/n exclaimed the loudest Mikoshiba had ever heard her "N-no! I can make it, I'll be there soon!"
"Mikoshiba, can you tell my brother he's making dinner today?" the girl said as she began to run away
"Uh- yeah sure- aaand she's gone now"
>>>
"So let me get this straight" Y/n on the phone with her bestfriend "After the weird fiasco with onii-chan, Hori-senpai held you in his arms?"
'That's sorta strange considering senpai's a tsundere' Y/n thought to herself
"W-well he didn't actually hold me, he lifted me up saying I wasn't heavy at all" the taller girl said
"And how did you respond?"
"..."
"Yu-chan... don't tell me... "
"I turned it into a competition saying I could lift him too... " Kashima admitted in an embarrassed tone
"Baka"
"I KNOW IT WAS STUPID OF ME, OKAY?! I ruined the romantic mood!"
'Well at least I'll have something to work with, there hasn't been any romantic moments between my main couple lately' Y/n thought 'Sakura needs to step up get game'
"Well, don't sweat it" she comforted her friend "You'll get more chances in the future, I gotta get back to my shift now"
"M'kay... " Kashima said as she pouted "Are you ever gonna tell me where you work?"
"Not in a million years, Yu-chan" she replied with her signature monotone voice
"Hmph, fiiiiine don't tell me. See ya later!"
"Ciao"
Y/n turned off her phone and put it in her locker, she wiped some imaginary dust off her maid dress and started walking out of the changing room
As she walked out a customer called out to her
"Excuse me could I have a refill?"
"Sure thing, master!~" Y/n said with a sweet voice as she smiled, her face brightened so beautifully the customer face looked like a red tomato
After refilling the customer's drink the happy manager and Y/n's favorite senpai walked up to her
"That you so much for coming in last second, Y/n!" her manager thanked "I hope it wasn't too much trouble"
"Not at all manager-san"
"Oh please, call me Satsuki!"
'I don't know if that's appropriate, manager'
"O-okay... "
"Also Y/n, I've noticed how much your personality seems to change when you're working" Misaki pointed out "It's like you're a different person!"
"Well isn't that how I'm supposed to act?"
"Yes but you speak very differently to people who are customers compared to us!" Satsuki explained
"But Misaki-senpai does that too" Y/n said as she pointed at her senpai "Well, everyone except her boyfriend"
"H-he's not my boyfriend!" Misaki yelled with a red face "P-plus wouldn't you also act differently towards a customer that you knew from school?"
"I guess but no one from there ever comes here" the girl deadpanned
"Oh! But it would be funny if we could see Y/n getting all embarrassed about someone from her school seeing her here!" Satsuki exclaimed
"That's never going to happen" Y/n had never gotten embarrassed in front of her coworkers
"Well we never know!" Misaki joined on the idea "Maybe someone with a secret crush on you will find out and it will turn into a beautiful teen romance!"
"That's highly unlikely to happen" Y/n opposed "And no one has a crush on me"
"Oh come on! Someone with a beautiful face like yours cannot not have a secret admirer!" the manager wrapped an arm around her shoulders
"Yeah! I mean just look at her beautiful (e/c) eyes!" Misaki joined Y/n's other side
"Okay, that's enough flattery" Y/n said as she freed herself from the other girls' grasp and walked to the front door "We have work to do"
She stood in front of the entrance door so she could greet the next customers, but then it happened
Something you would never expect
Right when the door opened
.
.
.
.
"Welcome back, mast- " Y/n froze
"Uh- Y/n?" Misaki looked at her kouhai "You were welcoming our next custome- "
Misaki stopped herself as she saw that the new customer's eyes looked at Y/n in shock
The customer had crimson red hair that matched his widened eyes, he was also wearing a uniform that looked pretty similar to Y/n's
'Could this be... ' Misaki started thinking
'This is... ' the customer thought
'No way' Y/n thought
'This can be happening!!!'
