I've finally got the prologue of this right. This story has been in my head for weeks before I actually wrote it. I hope you like it as much as I do. Anyway, I was reading the Stats for my first one shot and I was like Woah! 262 hits?! That's like amazing. On fictionpress getting more than 100 is an honor. I feel happy that so many people have read it and I would love to hear from more of the readers.
Sasuke sighed. He had to deal with a particularly annoying customer who insisted on getting the copy of a book at the very back of the shelf. She wouldn't take the one at the front because "people's dirty fingers, which are full of germs, touched it". There were at least ten hardcover copies of the heavy encyclopedia of Science Fiction and the picky woman wanted the very last one in the back. Sasuke felt like throwing those copies at the stupid woman, but because he mostly liked his job, he settled for glaring at her. The woman wasn't very happy either. She returned Sasuke's glare in full force the whole time at the cash register. When Sasuke finally gritted out a " Have a nice day..." She departed with a humph. While walking out the store, the woman discreetly rubbed her eyes. That boy had a death glare...

Lily's Bookshop was a quaint little bookstore with a cafe near the sprawling edges of Konoha city. Customers were often regulars who frequently sat there reading for hours. Lily, who was actually the owner can often be seen talking to the customers, discussing the merits of a particularly interesting title. Here, Sasuke worked part-time on weekdays, full time on weekends. He was a college student trying to meet the demands of everyday life. He was rich. Or rather, his family was. Unfortunately for him, he had been disowned when they found out about his sexuality preference. So, Sasuke left the prestigious Uchiha line and became his own individual. He was, by nature, a loner and he stayed that way. No friends, no family, not even a casual acquaintance, but Sasuke was mostly content on living his life that way.
Mostly.
