AN: Inspired by some fanart I saw that seemed to be on Tumblr (though I wasn't on Tumblr. Again, I'm not sure where it's from, and honestly, I'm too lazy to find out.). It was the Karasuno team working in a Starbucks (or a ripoff Starbucks). This, however, won't be set in a Starbucks ripoff but a restaurant.

WARNING: This has romance! MxM! Nothing sexual, just plain romance and fluff.

And the beginning of this chapter is mostly OC stuff, BUT I'LL GET TO OUR BABIES SOON, I PROMISE.

Kai Foxx gulped before entering the doors. What if he was rejected? He shook his head. I have to do this. He looked straight forward and inhaled sharply. To rid himself of the terrible doubts, he quickly opened the door and walked in. His eyes scanned the area, looking for a man. His eyes fell on a man with a smiling face walk toward him. Kai felt his hands shake as the man's face became clearer. The man had a strong cheekbone; sharp, blue eyes; and golden brown hair that swept down to hide the edges of his eyes. He was attractive and kind-looking. Kai gripped on his shoulder bag strap. He tried to force a smile, yet nothing could be shown on his face but fear. Yes, fear.

Name: Kai Foxx

…-Hardworking, introverted, shy, talkative when he opens up, obsesses over games, hates bugs, surprisingly devious/cunning, fears OR disgusted by attractive people

Kai Foxx could have been normal if it wasn't for his two older brothers. The two elder siblings never knew what they were causing every time they brought their friends home. All of their friends were sparkling. They sparkled when they ate, when they walked, when they laughed, when they spoke, when they slept! And all those sparkling friends were very nice, of course... until Kai's brothers left the room. Now, they were always nice, sometimes too nice. When Kai's siblings left, the friends would immediately address the little boy in their sweet, beautiful voices. Even their voices sparkled. Kai loved playing with people... until those friends wanted to play with him.

"Kai! Come here, cutie!" The girls would squeal out of excitement to see the small boy turn with that bright smile of his. "Come here! Let's take some pictures together!"

"Kai! Don't you want to play some games with us?" The boys would call him over to play some games with them. "Do you want to pick your character first?"

"Kai? Do you want to read some books together?"

"Kai, let's go get something to eat."

"Do you need some help, Kai?"

"Hey, Kai, I'm your favorite person in the world, right?"

"No way, I'm his favorite!"

There are overbearing people in this world. Then there are overbearing people who bask in the light of Heaven and bathe in sparkles. In short, Kai was traumatized by these friends who did nothing but pester him when they could. And when his brothers entered the scene it was worse.

"Aoi! Itsuki! Can you get into the picture with Kai?"

"Aoi! Itsuki! Get over here and help us teach Kai how to play."

The pestering never ended until Kai decided to shut himself into his room and become a social wreck.

"What's the point of socializing, anyway?" Kai said aloud in the middle of the night watching a vocaloid video.

Unfortunately for Kai, he was still popular in middle school and had many friends. Thankfully the popularity with everybody stopped in high school, but he still feared his brothers' friends. The moment he knew they were in a five-foot radius of him, he would run.

Now, Kai was searching for a job because of his mother's pestering. "At least get a part-time job!"

Kai's mind flickers back and forth between the past and the present until the man addresses him. "You're Foxx, Kai, right?"

"Y- yes," Kai answers, looking away from the man's face.

"My name's Suzuki, Arata. I'm the manager," the man introduced. He ushered Kai to come over to the table he was standing beside. "Take a seat."

Kai glanced at the man quickly then at the table. He moved his legs towards the table begrudgingly, his hands still grasping the strap of his bag. "Thank you for having me today, Suzuki-san."

And thus, the interview started. Kai answered the questions quickly, hoping to get out of the building soon. One by one, each question gracefully slipped out of Suzuki's mouth.

"Foxx-san?" Suzuki asked, a smile lingering on his face. "Are you answering my questions without a single thought?"

Kai tried to gulp down his fear. "No..."

Suzuki stared Kai down. "Oh, I guess I was wrong. Sorry for inquiring that."

"It's okay," Kai managed to say. He carefully glanced at the man before looking down to the floor.

"Is there something wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Suzuki asked.

Please end the interview already. "No, I'm fine." His hands started to break into a sweat, and he was afraid his emotions would start to show even more clearly. Why do I feel like, Kai thought, someone- or some people are watching us?

"Is there something wrong? Have you lost your dignity? Is that why you're on the floor?" a tall, blond boy inquired.

"Nice, Tsukki!" a freckled boy said.

"Shut up!" a boy with fiery hair growled. "We're watching the interview."

"You three shouldn't be spying on them," a gentle-looking boy said.

"He's shy, I think," a boy with a buzz cut observed with a chuckle. "He won't look at Suzuki-san."

"Hmm," a boy with two-toned hair mumbled, "he's kind of acting weird."

"HINATA!" A boy with a menacing demeanor walked up from behind them.

"Shh!" the three spies shushed. The boy with fire hair jumped up and covered the boy's mouth with his hand. Everybody stood, quiet.

Two-toned-hair boy checked if the interviewer or the job-hunter noticed the noise. "We're clear," he said.

Fiery-hair boy lifted his hand from the other boy's mouth and sighed out of relief. "What's up with that, Kageyama-kun? Don't yell, or we might get found out."

"What's everybody doing?" A boy (or man... he looked very mature) appeared from the restroom. He rubbed the back of his head as he walked toward everyone. The three spies once again shushed everybody before proceeding to eavesdrop on the interview. "Ennoshita," the boy turned to a boy beside him, "what's going on?"

"They're spying on the interview," Ennoshita answered. "I tried telling them to stop, but they won't. And I don't want to get in trouble with Suzuki-san, so we might as well wait until Daichi comes."

"Me?" another boy clarified. The three spies suddenly tensed at the sound of his voice. The boy spotted the spies and his face turned dark. "What are you doing?"

The three boys quickly turned to face Daichi. "We're sorry! Don't kill us!"

"If you're going to kill them, do it a day before they get paid." The familiar voice rang out like a bell, and everyone turned to face the man.

"Suzuki-san!" The three spies shouted out in surprise. "We're sorry!"

Suzuki laughed; the sound echoed out joyfully. The sudden laughter caused the boy beside him to jump. "Oh, sorry, Foxx-san," Suzuki said. He turned back to the spies. "I don't even know why you're sorry! What is it?"

"Uh," Hinata mumbled, "it's nothing."

"Anyways, this is Foxx, Kai," Suzuki introduced. "Foxx-san, these are some of your co-workers."

"Hello," Kai greeted. He bowed. "Please take care of me from now on."

"While you all get acquainted, I'll go make sure everything is in order. Remember that even though Foxx-san will start work here soon, he's still older than you. Respect him, please," Suzuki said. He mad his way to the break room, leaving behind the boys.

Kai looked over the boys. They were all younger than him, but he could tell some were close to graduating high school. He felt there was something off, and it had to do with the fact that they were boys. Where were the girls? "May I ask..." Kai wondered, "where the girl workers are?"

"We have a few of them," Daichi answered, "but they leave early."

"Foxx?" the freckled boy repeated. "Isn't that kitsune?"

"Eh?" Kai looked at the boy. The boy was taller than him and had green hair. A strand of hair stood at the top like an antenna. "My last name does sound like the English word for kitsune."

"Then, Kitsune-san," the two-toned-hair boy said. "Can we call you that?"

"Kitsune-san," the others repeated.

Eh?

"Kitsune-san sounds cute," the gentle-looking boy said.

"You know what sounds cuter?" Ennoshita asked, a smug look on his face. Everyone faced him, wondering what he would say. "Ki-chan."

Everyone then faced back to Kai. They proceeded to repeat the new nickname. "Ki-chan."

"W- wait..." Kai stuttered, "what?"

"Ki-chan," the two-toned-hair boy introduced, "my name's Nishinoya Yuu!"

"Ki-chan," the buzz-cut boy said with a grin, "I'm Tanaka Ryuunosuke!"

"Nice to meet you, Ki-chan!" Hinata shouted. "I'm Hinata Shouyou!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Ki-chan," Kageyama said. "I'm Kageyama Tobio."

"Nice to meet you, Ki-kun," the gentle boy said, "I'm Sugawara Koushi." As Sugawara said this, a sparkle hit Kai in the eyes, causing him to rub at them.

"I'm Ennoshita Chikara. Nice to meet you, Ki-kun," Ennoshita said.

"Azumane Asahi," the mature boy said. "Nice to meet you, Foxx-san."

"Eh?" Tanaka mumbled.

"You ruined it, Asahi," Nishinoya said.

"Ah! Sorry!" Asahi said.

"I'm Sawamura Daichi. Pleasure to meet you," the boy introduced. "If you need any help, Ki-kun, you can ask me."

"I'm Yamaguchi Tadashi," the freckled boy said. "The one who isn't talking is Tsukishima. You don't have to worry about him, Ki-san."

Kai looked towards the tall blond and his jaw fell a bit. Tsukishima... Kei?

Tsukishima looked down to the significantly shorter boy. "Hey, Kai."

"Hey," Kai greeted, looking away, "Kei. Akiteru's doing well?"

Tsukishima paused then turned to walk away. "I guess."

AN: I kind of feel bad since I've got the story pretty much planned out just for my OC... But don't worry, I won't forget our babies. Long story short, I've got my OC's love story all in my head now. I don't want to be selfish, so I'll have a few chapters between their meeting. Those few chapters will be the blossoming of other flowers of love.

Yes, Ukai and Sensei won't be working in the restaurant. This is an AU where the boys have NEVER played volleyball, but Ukai still works in the shop and Sensei is... a sensei. However, I will let them visit the restaurant in the future. So will other characters from the anime/manga. Btw, I still have no idea what the restaurant should be called...

Remember that I do not own Haikyuu, I do not own Starbucks (even though it isn't Starbucks), and I do own Kai Foxx and Arata Suzuki.

Long notes, but I had to explain some things. Imo, this chapter was awkward, but I hope you enjoyed!

Will Kai ever get used to his new workplace? What exactly do I, the author, have in store for him? Maybe you'll find out in the next chapter: Pumpkin Spice Latte. See you latte!
