Walking through an empty street, hands clawed through his messenger bag.Makoto realized at that moment that he was screwed.He pulled at threads to stall the most disappointing thought of his already bad week.
‘The script is gone..’
He is going to be in bad, bad waters if he doesn't get it back.
Thoughts jumble, as he turns on his heel and sprints the other way.
‘I can already barely execute the character ,they’ll probably hire someone else entirely if I lose the script!’
He hurries back to the cafe.If anyone leaks that piece of paper , he'll be so done for that his normally heart-melting smile will do nothing but get him in even deeper shit.
Right when he gets there ,his hand settles on the strap of his bag.Deep blue eyes land on the booth he had just used,scanning it for any sign of his script.
‘Pink hair?..green glasses..No,it can’t be..
Four-eyes.’
A pout forms on his lips.
‘I swear, God wastes all his grace on Kokomi,not that I blame him..’,he thought as steps carried him closer to the corner in which the booth was located.
As the Teruhashi got closer to the booth,he saw that the script was noticeable beneath Saiki’s shoe.Without so much as a second thought his ass was planted to the seat.
A seat cushioned under someone’s weight and Kusuo groaned internally.
‘Why does God hate me?’
Kusuo’s eyes shut as he took in a breath of annoyance.He knew his day would get ruined.Yet still,that awareness has never once been helpful with a Teruhashi.Slowly,he lifted his gaze to land on the boy before him.
Casually, Makoto’s bag was placed beside him, both arms stretched out behind him as if he was meant to be sitting there.
“You look so pathetic sitting here by yourself,four-eyes,”,he gestured to the three empty plates the other had just eaten from,”-That i've decided to do some charity work.”,Makoto declared abruptly,
Kusuo fought a deep grimace,unable to further enjoy his voluptuous dessert.He set the spoon down on the side of his plate.
”You came all this way to insult me?”
Pressing his elbows into the table,Makoto nearly toppled over , "No I didn't!",he jabbed a finger at Saiki,"I'm over here doing you a favo- hey dont look at me like that!”
Saiki’s eyes shut at the last few words.’Again with his nonsense,good grief.’
Taking notice of the scrunched-up face of Saiki,Makoto thought to himself.
‘Right.I probably won’t get the script back like this..
Hm.. the script,the movie - This reminds me a lot about a scene in it,..’
Makoto was taken out of his thoughts by the question of a waitress “What would you like to order,sir?..”
“Oh! - One mocha frappe and a..”,his eyes darted to the half-eaten dessert in front of Saiki.
’Better get in his good graces..’
Kusuo raised an eyebrow.
‘Good graces?’
“And two coffee jellies as well.”, Makoto continued.He tried to give a charming smile but soon realized his mask was still pulled to the bridge of his nose.
‘Damn mask covering my pretty face.’, he thought as he stared at the waitress’ retreating figure.
‘Jeez, calm down, Cassenova..’
Slowly, Makoto turned his head to Kusuo.”So,whats an average Joe like you doing here?Probably day-dreaming of being with Kokomi, right?Of course I'm right!”, he said arrogantly,getting a pointed look from the pinkette.Quickly,he corrected himself, “In any case, why are you here, Four-eyes?”
‘Hopefully he hasn't noticed the script yet..’, Makoto grimly thought.
‘Maybe I wouldn't have if you didn't come back for it.‘
Answering Makoto's question, he gestured towards his half-eaten coffee jelly with a spoon.
‘That stuff again,what an Addict..’
‘Excuse me?’
Makoto rested a cheek against his palm,’The scene was in a café..MC and his love interest are on some meet-cute after the love interest forgot something.. But the Main character doesn't care at all.Despite this they still end up hitting it off. ‘
“Oh wow…”,came a mutter from under Kusuo's breath.
Makoto's neck snapped to attention at the unfamiliar sound,so different from how monotonous the pinkette usually sounds.Makoto's neck muscles are in fact not as fast as Kusuo could dip his spoon into the jelly and shove the spoonful into his own mouth.
“Did you say somethi-.. ”Makoto stared for a second,then narrowed his eyes in disdain.”Breath?You'll choke if you do that,Four-eyes.”
The pinkette glanced to the side,a cheek puffed out due to jelly inhalation.
His eyes threatened to roll out of their sockets.”Fine,you chewed up wad of gum,go ahead and die from overconsumption,see if I care..”
‘Please don't actually die,Kokomi would never speak to me again if she knew I said this to her lackey..’
‘Her lackey?I'm aware of how lowly he thinks of me,but lackey is a little too low for my ego.’
“Uhm..Sirs?”
Makoto sharply turns to the waitress,softening his eyes just enough to make any of his fans swoon,”Yes?”
The woman quickly put their food down,her face flushing.’Oh,Wow,his gentle but heart-stopping gaze has me completely captivated,his eyes do look familiar though..Or maybe he's just so handsome that his eyes seem familiar!’
Makoto's eyes softened further,”Thank you,ma’am.”
‘Such attractive manners!It's almost like he's perfect..’,floundered the waitress as the blush deepened.
‘You're completely correct,not as perfect as Kokomi,but still’,he smirked to himself,mask shifting.
Kusuo gave him a sideways glance,’No wonder they're siblings..’
‘Too bad he's on a date with that guy..’
‘Seriously?..’
The waitress pressed the tray against her chest,”I also wanted to inform you of a discount!”
Makoto perked up at the notion,”Really?What is it?”
She gave them a sheepish smile,”75% off for couples such as the two of you!”
Makoto froze,face paling at her words.
“W-what?..”
“I said you guys were getting 75% off?”,she repeated clearly,now slowly backing away from the booth.
His soul finally returned.
Makoto called out to her desperately,"NO!you've got it entirely wrong,we’re no ‘couple’ im just here because-”
The script was shoved into Makoto's chest,falling into his lap.
“Huh?”
His eyes locked onto Saiki’s face,or atleast where his face would have been since he was walking away.
‘Did he know the entire fucking time whiles I was freaking out?..’,then another one burrowed a hole in his deteriorating sanity.
“He definitely read it..”
“ Seriously,God?..”
