Thread: The Little Cafe on the Corner [CitrillicxKveria]

Moe was glad he seemed to appreciate his hard-work. Perhaps he was looking for a little more of a personal point of view. However, he assumed it was better than no appreciation at all. When Rin started talking about his life prior to moving here, he had to chuckle a little at the typical Rin response. I guess I was calling you the wrong name all this time. Who knew a patisserie could also be a prince, he joked, a smile cracking on his face for a little while. He walked over to the cooler, figuring it was the end of the topic and he probably should start decorating some of the cakes that have been chilled. As he pulled one out, Rin had started speaking of a secret. At first, Moe was excited that Rin could trust him in telling him a secret although a part of him thought it was going to be another recipe, but then he saw something he thought he never would in Rin--he suddenly seemed less focused as he stirred away at the batter. With a cock of his head, he placed the cake he was going to work on down and looked over to him. Go ahead... After what he heard, it took Moe a moment to realize the depth of the problem on hand. The shop might be sold? Even though that is what Rin said, Moe knew it probably meant a lot more to Rin since he came over here and opened this cafe himself. How then, was this affecting Rin? Moe examined him with worried eyes, trying to think up a proper response to this ordeal before clearing his throat. You are starting to not sound like the Rin I know. The Rin I know would never give up! You came here all the way from across the oceans to open up this cafe... and you will just give it up? I know you are talented and could easily find another job at another cafe if you pleased, but you cannot just give up on what you have now. I can tell this cafe means a lot to you because the look on your face as you started said it all.... You don't really want to lose this cafe... Moe knew he was rambling, entirely forgetting the fact that he was about to confess his feelings, just to support his dear friend in turmoil. Listen, with a little extra hard-work, perhaps some free advertising, we can easily kick up the business in here, Moe wasn't sure how much of what he was saying was true, considering he even knew that a lot of small cafes were going out of business due to large corporations that outsell local businesses. Even if Rin wanted to give up, the determination that sparked in Moe's eyes should have been enough to say that he wasn't about to give up. If there is anything at all that I can do to help, whether it is to loan you some money or stand on the streets and pass out flyers, or samples, or something, let me know! I will do anything to help this business stay afloat because this is like a second home to me and I don't want to see if perish... He said, having moved over to Rin's side to grab his arm gently, trying to show he was serious about this. So please don't give up so quickly on this place.... I know you like it here, and I love being here to help you whenever I can... in fact, if there was ever an opportunity where I could help you more I wouldn't hesitate to step in, you know that, right?
