YES, PERFECT. He tried to hide how absolutely ECSTATIC he felt at the new situation, and merely nodded in agreement. Even the black coffee sounded HEAVENLY. Please, he hated coffee with sugar or cream on it. Give it to him black and strong.
“I don’t mind at all~ It sounds perfect even. It’ll sure wake me up” he smiled, now proceeding to make the division of the remaining food -bread and sandwiches here, and the muffin for Kyouhei to take. Then he started washing that last tray.
“Now we only have to turn off the electricity, throw the trash, put the sign and close the doors” he recounted on his head “If you can throw the trash outside I’ll do the rest myself~”
Well, that worked out rather easily! Kyouhei couldn’t help but be pleased with the development as a whole. It was always nice to have co-workers that didn’t sweat the small details.
“Yeah! I don’t drink too much because my sleep schedule is already a mess but for a black coffee, it sure is flavorful. Maybe it’s just the way “Holy Grounds” brews it?”
Kyouhei set his goods aside, next to the apron that was part of his uniform, and stretched his arms over his head.
“Sure, sure, I’ll leave the rest to you! Make sure to get the lights in the bathroom, I kept forgetting when I first worked here.” Much to his embarrassment, but his manager caught him until he remembered for himself.
He made sure the handles of the trash bags were double knotted before heaving them up, smiling softly when he realized it felt easier then it did a month back. Results were nearly as sweet as their matcha green tea iced coffee.
Yaguchi practically sighed when the day was finally over. Not that he was bad at this in any way, on the contrary, he was quick learning how to use the register and take orders, and he seemed to be a natural when it came to customer service.
Seemed, because nothing could be farther from the truth. Behind all those smiles, playful jokes and adorable apologies, Yacchan had just barely kept his real self from taking control. How close he was to spit insults to inconsiderate customers and throw the register machine to each and every guy that somehow thought flirting with him was an ok behavior.
At least now it was over… The job was convenient considering how close to college it was… and he sure needed the money, so it wasn’t as if he was going to quit anytime soon… but the temptation was there.
“Oh, we can eat the pastries? Lucky~” he was tired, but not enough to forget his part of cutesy boy who loves sweets
“Thanks for everything today~ I would have been so discouraged if I were by my own” cute to a slightly apologetic and completely adorable face.
Kyouhei smiled widely - why did it feel like he had competition even though they weren’t competing at anything? - and slipped behind the counter to open the stands of baked goods.
“It’s not a problem! Once you get used to how the regulars act and want things will get much easier!” He chatted offhandedly while reaching in with the tongs to grab each individual snack.
There weren’t too many left, but still, food was food. He turned and jabbed the tongs at his coworker, still grinning.
“I’m not picky at all, and since you did so well on one of your first days, you can pick out whatever you want! I’ll help you wrap them up and you can set them aside before we clean.”
Holy Grounds was everything a struggling college student could need. The tips were great, the atmosphere was lovely (especially the scents and visuals, coffee and sweets were always appealing), and the people were… well, he could deal with them.
“Good job today, coworker!” He cheered at the blond who’d helped hold down the fort nicely while taking off his own apron and folding it neatly over his arm.
“Now we can split whatever is left over - we don’t reuse food here - and I’ll show you how to clean up before we lock up!”
