I sighed standing near the door since Akutagawa said Chuuya-San was going to come to get us soon...
But he didn't we sat there for a whole 30 minutes likely looking like idiots "where is he? I thought he texted you that he'd be here.." I held the 4 bags on my arms hoping the bags won't fall from how long I've been holding them I stared at Akutagawa which I was sure was in his own mini world
"I didn't..."
He said bluntly "HUH!" I gasped "All this time we spent standing here...For nothing!!" I yelled Akutagawa just stared not caring until I caught Akutagawa looking at a bakery which radiated a sweet fresh sent "Do you want to go to the bakery?" I asked but was met by a pout "Of course not I don't want to do such childish things!" He scowled at me his voice harsh
"Well let's go anyway and while we're there this time contact Chuuya so we WONT look like fools..." I said raising my voice a bit Akutagawa scoffed walking towards the bakery which also happened to be a cafe "Says the fool.." He argued as I just rolled my eyes walking in we was greeted by a lady she looked at least 19 years old
She had light brown hair and gray sharp eyes like Akutagawa with a strange aura around her whatever it was felt
Familiar
"Can I help you?" She asked since I likely looked awkward staring "Sorry you just looked familiar...!" I explained with a shy smile "O-Oh it's fine..." She smiled "table for 2" Akutagawa sighed seeing the awkwardness was never ending
After a awkward walk to a empty table which didn't take long due to the lack of people we both sat on opposite sides I placed my bags down as two menus were placed in front of us "here's your menu's! Though to be honest I believe you 2 would love our mini apple pie's" She smiled standing professionally "Ok thank you a lot" She smiled "it's nothing after all it is rare to have costumer's I'm just trying my best impression of our business! Anyway enjoy,I have to be sure I don't start a line!" She said seeing more people was coming inside before rushing away
I stared at Akutagawa who had a obvious cringe on his face "that was as awkward as watching a high school girl confess to her crush..." he commented I just pouted before opening my menu looking at stuff as awkwardness spread through the air "I mean apple pie sounds good..." I said passively not knowing how to speak with him considering we haven't spoken much to each other since the argument the other day or really at all
Akutagawa sighed seeing right through my intentions "just get the damn apple pie so we can go..." He said closing the menu I crossed my arms after doing the same "fine!...you don't know how hard it is talking to someone like you!" I pouted as Akutagawa just rolled his eyes
I saw a waitress walk up to us wearing a kind smile "Are you two ready to order?" She asked "Yes-" I tried to say before being cut off "2 apple pies,a milk tea and hot milk with 2 cubes of sugar...to go please" he said his voice and face monotone "ok sir coming right up!" She smiled walking away "wha-how did you know?" I stuttered
He looked at his phone then up once more "I mean you wear staring and mumbling about it like a idiot and plus Chuuya texted me he should be here in a bit..." he said bluntly I blushed from embarrassment as I looked down eventually I saw a small white box with gold lettering and outline as well as a warm cup get placed in front of me I looked up to see the waitress handing Akutagawa's tea to him
"Are you two leaving now since you said this is to go?" She asked I felt Akutagawa's sharp gaze his eyes piercing through my soul as I just commented a simple "yes" smiling awkwardly "Ok that will be 25.95" She smiled I smiled back giving her the money and a 10 dollar tip since that was all the money I had left since most of it went to new clothes she smiled "Thank you I hope you have a wonderful day!" She bowed before walking away
I grabbed my bags as I held my drink and pie in hand quickly following Akutagawa before he leaves me which I'm sure he would do then cover it up as my fault when passing the woman who took us to our table she smiled and held out a piece of paper I grabbed it confused at first before she said "Text or call me so I can have your number...you seem like a great friend!" She smiled "ok thank you again I'll tell you how I like the pie!" I smiled back waving as she gave a thumbs up
Eventually we made it to the front once again this time actually waiting for a ride and not looking like lost idiots I sat down at a nearby bench which I just noticed was there while Akutagawa stood quietly while I couldn't help but have a weird familiar feeling I didn't know what it was but just trying to figure it out is bothering
I saw a certain turquoise car pulling up making Akutagawa walk out as soon as he saw it while I chased after him although I knew Chuuya wasn't going to leave me even if he wanted to
I immediately opened the door sitting next to a already irritated Akutagawa as Chuuya wasted no time to begin driving Akutagawa had a scowl present on his face glaring at me when my bag touched his leg I rolled my eyes as I moved it "You could've put it in the trunk idiot.." he snapped at me "ok ok I didn't know!" I sighed
It was quiet...
"So?" Chuuya asked looking back interrupting the odd silence I just gave him a confused look not knowing how to answer "How did it go,you two have fun?" Chuuya looked back as he met a red light "oh! It was fun! Minus the part of Akutagawa's whining..." I sighed at the last part
When I looked at Akutagawa he glared at me before saying "You were the one acting like a fool! Not to mention dragging us into that store-!" He argued Chuuya raised a eyebrow as I then argued "Hey you were the one who said not to mention that!" Akutagawa coughed he rolled his eyes
Chuuya laughed "What store?" He smirked seeming to already know where it was going as my face turned a deep shade of pink "ohhhh I know~" he teased laughing as I saw Akutagawa turn away his head coughing in his hand his ears a shade of pink causing Dazai to join in "ohhh~ did you get anything~?" He teased "WHA-NO!" I yelled "You know it's normal for teens your age to want to get a bit frisky" he teased "I do not!" I argued back Dazai just snickered as I saw Akutagawa's face turn mischievous
I looked at him as he looked at me for a bit until he blurted out "Jinko was flirting with the woman who works in the bakery we went to! she even gave him her number..." he smirked teasingly "HEY!" I yelled "Woah you did! I never knew you can pick up bitches!" Dazai teased "No-" I tried to argue but Chuuya laughed "You going to call her?" He smirked
I blushed more "Well yes but-" I tried to explain but I was only cut off by Dazai,Akutagawa smirked watching me suffer and drown in tons of questions about dating this girl that I only planned to become friends with
"Ohhh~ I see you brought something for her how manly~" Dazai teased "No! She just wanted to be friends and Akutagawa dragged me out the store because I was frozen so I didn't and wasn't able to even touch anything in there!"I argued as Dazai and Chuuya snickered "Trust me I know my subordinates I know your not a ladies man which is such a shame....~" He said dramatically
I just crossed my arms "So how did the date go Chuuya?" I asked ignoring Dazai only to get yelled at by the angry ginger "IT WAS NOT A DATE!!!" He yelled as I just smiled not understanding why he was yelling "But it was chibi you even gave me-"Before Dazai could finish his mouth was covered by a hand and he was given a glare
I just looked confused "What's wrong with dates me and Kyouka go on dates me and Akutagawa also went on a date kind of too?" I asked clueless causing everyone to stare at me as I looked confused "what?" I asked "You really are that innocent..." Chuuya commented with a deadpanned look
Then that's when it clicked...
"OHHHH NOT LIKE THAT AHH!" I panicked blushing waving my hands around as Chuuya just laughed "it's good to see this mackerel is not corrupting you like how he did Aku tell me if he does though I won't hesitate to beat his ass..." he said slightly laughing though seriousness was present in his voice I blinked a few times "Ok thank you Chuuya-San! But I'm sure Dazai won't hurt me!" I smiled he just shook his head "ok..still though I don't need him traumatizing anymore kids..." he sighed "ohhh~Chibi why don't you trust me to be a good mentor?~" Dazai whined Chuuya rolled his eyes "please Osamu..." he said his voice sarcastic "just look at Aku and tell me he's fine"
Dazai looked at Akutagawa as Akutagawa became stiff staring back "He seems ok to me..." He shrugged I watched as Akutagawa coughed in his hand taking a breath as if Dazai was sucking the breath out of him "You make me sick..." Chuuya mumbled
I sighed as I prepared for the rest of the car ride to be this chaotic as I couldn't help but remember how familiar the girl looked and the weird aura she had but it wasn't only that it was a smell as well but I can't put my finger on what it could be..
Maybe it was one of us in the car...no..Akutagawa still smells like gunpowder Chuuya reeks of alcohol and Dazai didn't really smell like much since he finally washed up and I just smelled like some vanilla perfume I used since Kyouka said it matches my personality
But if it wasn't us then what is it...
I thought looking at the nice tall green trees pass us by until it clicked
Cinnamon...it's the cinnamon
