Prompt- Goodbye
A/N: I'M SO EXCITED! I'VE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS WEEK SINCE I SAW IT ON TUMBLR! So, this is Tomadashi week on Tumblr and I love this pairing. I shit it. I ship it lots. \(v)/ So without any other outbursts, Here is day 1.
The Lucky Cat Cafe was almost empty, save for a small old lady drinking some herbal tea, the owner and her nephew, a young man with kind brown eyes and a smile. "Tadashi," The brunette owner called with a grin, untying her apron. "I have to go out for a little while. Will you watch the cafe?"
The young man placed another cup of tea in front of the elderly woman and smiled. "Sure aunt Cass." The brunette grinned, grabbed her purse and rushed out the door. Tadashi sighed and sat down.
The chair he was sitting on scraped against the wooden floorboards as he rose to clean a little before his aunt returned. He was just picking up a dirty dish when he heard the slight ring of the door opening. Walking calmly, Tadashi glanced to see who was there.
A petite girl with purple streaks caught his eye. She was standing beside a slim, blond girl with bright green eyes. The smaller one had him enraptured. He walked up, a faint pink staining his slightly tanned cheeks and smiled at the customers.
When he had gotten closer, he noticed the stranger had nice honey brown eyes, her arms crossed over her chest. "Hi, welcome to the Lucky Cat Cafe. What can I get you?" Taadashi asked politely, looking anywhere except at the beautiful stranger.
The tall girl jumped slightly while turning to look at him with a huge smile, white teeth flashing. "Oh! Can I get a green tea to go? Gogo, what do you want?" The bubbly blond turned to her quiet friend. The brunette snapped her gum and shrugged.
"Coffee. Nothing in it. For here." She spoke curtly, as if she was trying to speed through everything he was going to ask. Her voice was cool and indifferent, but Tadashi could sense she was hiding something beneath the ice. She sounded as if she spoke bluntly. He had not noticed he was staring until she raised an eyebrow at him and popped a bubble, blond giggled again.
He flushed and rushed towards the back to make their orders. Nice. Now she thinks you're weird. he thought as he sullenly retrieved the drinks, putting one in a to go cup and the other in a white mug. He looked out from behind the counter, watching the two females talk to each other in hushed voices. The floorboards creaked slightly as he walked over to hand them their drinks.
As he carefully set the drinks on the table, his eyes flicked over to the petite woman. A leather jacket, a white shirt, ripped black and purple leggings and athletic shorts over them, paired with black and purple converse. He flushed again and grabbed an empty chair as the blond checked her phone.
"Oh! Sorry Gogo! I really have to go! See you later!" She called on her way out of the door. He relaxed as the silence enveloped him and he relaxed for the first time since she came in. Soon, the silence was shattered by the sound of footsteps on wood. Tadashi opened his eyes to find the girl he had been staring at right in front of him.
She popped another bubble and blinked. "Mind if I join you?" She asked in a tone that made it sound more like a offhand comment than a question as she plopped into one of the beaten leather chairs his aunt had invested in. Tadashi blinked and nodded mutely.
She was sipping her coffee and chewing her gum. Tadashi winced, thinking that the two flavors would not taste good together. She popped a bubble and spoke, "Name?" Surprising both herself and the boy next to her. The young man scratched the back of his neck nervously and answered. "Tadashi Hamada."
She nodded and hummed in acknowledgement, taking another sip from the ceramic mug. They sat in an almost suffocating silence until he blurted, "What's yours?!" It came out as more of a shout than a question, but she answered nonetheless.
"My name is Leiko, but call me that and I'll defenestrate you. I'm called Gogo." She said sharply, sipping some more of her beverage. She wouldn't admit it, but he had captured her attention. With a small smile, she finished it and stood.
"I'm gonna go. See ya later, Tadashi." She said, secretly liking the way his name rolled off her tongue. She blew a bubble to mask the pink flush that was crawling up the back of her neck.
"Goodbye, Gogo." He faked a smile and looked away. She snapped another bubble and he turned to look at her honey colored eyes. Gogo internally insisted that his steady gaze was not attractive whatsoever.
"No. Not 'goodbye', see you later. Goodbye means I'm never coming back." She gave a small smirk, a two fingered salute and walked out the door. Tadashi stared at the spot where she had been for a moment before grinning.
