Work Text:
Gen walked past a small corner store, his mind completely elsewhere as he almost skimmed over the "Help Wanted" sign on the window. Immediately, he stopped walking and turned his head towards the advertisement, staring at it with much interest. His mentalist magic gig didn't work out for him, so any job that didn't require too much work seemed like the perfect fit for him. As he read the details on the paper, the door to the shop opened, followed by the stepping out of a leeked-colored haired man, wearing a chef's apron and hair fitted by a pure-white bandana.
"Ello-say! You are looking for a server, yes?" Gen immediately chirped up, extending and shaking the other man's hand. "No need to continue your search any further, for I have arrived!"
"Now hold up just a second," The man spoke up in an almost detached tone. "You'll have to be interviewed first."
Gen blinked at his words, returning to a nicer tone. "But of course! Feel free to ask me any question you have." He said, acting graceful on the outside, but internally smirking to himself as he readied for whatever question he fires at him.
The leek-haired person looked at Gen up and down, holding back a yawn. "Can you serve customers and write down their orders?"
"Alright, starting off easy." Gen thought, following up with a confident grin on his face. "Yes, of course I can, in fact I-" "You're hired."
...
"What?"

"Eriously-say! I'm still surprised by the fact you didn't want to hear more about my expertise, I was very prepared, you know." Gen said, leaning on his broom as he reminisced the time he and Senku first met.
"I didn't need to hear anymore, a server's job doesn't require that many steps." Senku spoke up, leaning back on the counter. "Does it have to require cleaning up the place, though? All this work has me irst-thay!" Gen complains from the other side of the counter, continuing to sweep the place when Senku gave him the smallest glare.
"Alright, go take a break, but don't take too long, or you'll lose access to the colas you take from the shop again." Senku sighed out, picking at his ear as he watches Gen immediately run off to the break room, hearing him shout out a, "Thank you!", before he turned the corner.
Senku let out a chuckle from Gen's antics. "Suddenly he has the energy to run to the break room, huh?" He mutters to himself, stepping out from behind the counter and looking to see if Gen did a good job. He didn't have time to evaluate Gen's work, turning his head as he heard rapid footsteps approaching him. A small gasp escaped Senku as he felt arms wrap around him and Gen's upper body smooshed against his back.
"What's this?" He replied cooly, not moving from his position. "I don't remember your break being over yet, unless you're that eager to get back to work."
"Yup, I'm just so eager to get back to work that I'm hugging my boss from behind." Gen replied sarcastically, continuing to press his face against Senku's spine. "You know, you're eally-ray cute when you have no understanding of romance."
"You said that last time after you first asked me out."
"Because you somehow thought that very expensive diner I brought you to was somehow casual! I didn't realize I literally had to spell it out for you!" Gen playfully pouts, finally letting go of Senku to face him.
"It seemed casual enough to me." Senku quipped back, holding an unamused expression to Gen's pouting. "Anyways, you already wasted 167 seconds of your break, unless you truly are eager on getting back to work."
At this comment, Gen quickly recovered and dramatically stuck out his tongue at Senku. "You're too uel-cray..." He scurried back over to the break room, not wanting to waste another second of his precious rest time. "You better not end up falling asleep on me in there, or I might consider replacing you." Senku shouted towards him, holding a stern look on his face until Gen was out of sight.
Once Senku confirmed he was, he immediately pressed himself against a nearby wall and slid down, covering his face with both hands as he blushes furiously. "Damn idiot... What is he doing to me..." He continues to flush into his hands, feeling his pounding heart in his chest as he wondered how he maintained his composure when Gen hugged him. Although he may not look like it, he was absolutely whipped for his little server.
