Thread: The Little Cafe on the Corner [CitrillicxKveria]

sorry my brain was frying A my fever wasis murdering me While the two of them were talking, Moe was just finishing up the display case, making sure ever last detail was perfect. He wasn't the type to listen in on conversations but he couldn't help but let his eyes drift from the cakes to Rin and Miyabi when he heard his name thrown into the mix. He had assumed they were just talking about the current situation of the bakery, but when he heard the note they ended off on, Moe's face too went bright red and he kept hidden behind the cake display until he regained his posture and finally stood up. He tried to act like he didn't hear it and just smiled and waved to Miyabi as he walked around the counter, checking the display case from the customers view, before being satisfied. This day did not go completely as Moe had expected, but even with the bad news, he could not have but feel happy that he came in at all. All that worked up anxiety in the morning really paid off. Now he just needed to get through the rest of the day.... -After a long shift....- Thank you! Have a nice day! Moe watched on as a customer left the caf, off to go about their beautiful afternoon. Thinking of which. Moe glanced at the clock on the wall and then his own wrist-watch for confirmation. Ah, it seems to be my time. Moe made sure there were no other customers around before letting his coworkers now he was counting his till down to be deposited and restarted for the next shift. He quickly counted the money down in Rins small office, glancing here and there at some of the bills lying around before depositing the profit in the safe and returning with the starting till for the next person. Then he walked over to Rin, stopping behind him and smiling a little. Listen, my shift has ended and I have to go to my classes, but call me up later, okay? Dont stress out so much over work! Everything will be fine! He reassured quietly, not wanting to make any scene for the customers before gathering up all his belongings. Then with that, he walked back towards the front door, glancing just for a couple of seconds over his shoulder at Rin before chuckling to himself about something and heading off for his classes which actually didnt start for about an hour and a half, but it gave him some time to start working on his new project. The greatest thing about living in a town like this one was that everything was relatively close together, which Moe like the convenience of as well as the fact that you got to know the people of the town more. That way, Moe did not feel shy about talking with the neighbors. He took his time chit-chatting here and there with a few people he's seen walking around as well as in the cafe, trying to get some inputs without bringing up the idea of bankruptcy. He wanted to know what the people thought of the cafe when they were not actually inside. Not only that, after seeing the bills, he was curious to know of some other things they could be changing in terms of products. He knew Rin was pretty big on being flashy with his cakes, but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to cut a few things off the menus? Moe eventually reached his campus where he spent the remainder of his time trying to look up good business tactics as well as make a small record of the bill numbers he saw for future reference. Then, when the time came he went off to class. Even though Moe loved everything about his job, he knew that eventually his time would have to come to an end eventually at the cafe. Especially as his graduation would draw near and he'd have to look for another job which, much to probably Rin's dismay if he were to find out, was not going to be anything involving cooking. He loved it more as a hobby and he didn't want to hate it. So he wanted to major in something that might take himself somewhere someday like Rin's profession did with his. Of course that all came down to Moe who had been struggling with all the up-keeping... but he knew hard work was the key to getting anything done. After his classes were over, it was already starting to get dark. Typically at this time Moe would be rushing off to his second part-time job, but luckily he didn't work tonight. So instead, he hung back at the school library, catching up on schoolwork, occasionally glancing at his cellphone almost expectantly.
