"Oi, Loser Enma! A Grande green tea latte!"

"Kozato! A Venti chia tea frappuccino!"

"Kozato! Hurry it up, will ya! A mini iced coffee!"

A nineteen year old Enma Kozato sighed as he busied himself making cups of assortments of lattes, frappuccinos, and coffees. He wished that he was at school. Though he wasn't smart enough to get into one of the most prestigious schools in Namimori, he opted out for Namimori State University, which was closer to the apartment he shared with one of his closest friends; Rauji Ooyama. To pay for books and his rent, he worked at Nami Coffee, one of the biggest coffee shops in all of Namimori. He worked a few hours on the days that he didn't have class and worked for about three hours after he was done with his classes.

"Um, excuse me?" Enma looked up and saw a petite, brown haired girl that looked eighteen with doe brown eyes. She wore a Midori University t-shirt, a pair of jean shorts, and flip flops. She looked absolutely cute.

"U-Uh y-yes?" Enma stuttered all the while blushing and immediately cursed himself for acting so lame in front of her.

"Ah, Har-I mean I just ordered a red velvet frappuccino but a barista told me that there wasn't enough supplies for the drink I wanted and disappeared." The girl frowned slightly.

"W-What was your order number?"

"Number 86~desu."

Enma looked at the receipt number of the drink he was working on. It was number 100. She had to wait such a long time.

"A-Ah, w-what w-would y-you l-like t-to d-drink n-now?" The nineteen year old boy stammered, his blush becoming redder.

"Ah, let's see. Har-I mean, I guess the green tea frappuccino would do..." The girl mused.

"S-Sorry for the mistake. I-I'll get you a free Venti." Enma rushed to work on her drink.

"Wait-" The girl tried to stop him, but it was too late. The young Kozato was already blending in her drink and grabbed a clear, plastic, Nami Coffee Venti cup along with a pre-wrapped straw. Dumping the drink into the cup, he looked up at her shyly, asking, "W-Would you like whipped cream?"

The girl beamed and Enma almost lost it when he saw her dimples. "Yes, please!"

The young barista shook the whipped cream bottle, but when he tried to layer the top of the frappuccino with the cream, no cream would come out. He blushed shyly. "I'm sorry, but there's no more whipped cream."

The girl smiled warmly. "That's all right. Thank you for the drink..." She peered at his name tag. "Kozato~san!" With a small wave, she threw the straw's wrapping away in a trash can and was about to leave when a "Wait!" stopped her.

Behind her, a desperate Enma Kozato had his hand reaching out at her, as if wanting her to not leave.

"Kozato~san? Something wrong~desu?" She asked, a worried expression on her face.

Rubbing his neck, Enma wondered how to ask her out. Sure he just met her for a few minutes and knew nothing about her, but there was something about her that made him feel that she was different from other girls. She didn't laugh or mock his clumsiness and she was so nice to him. He had to give it a shot. "A-Ah, w-well, u-um... I-I was w-wondering if y-you were fre-"

"Where were you?! I was looking all over for you!" A chestnut haired boy barged in through the doors of the coffee shop and embraced the Midori girl, kissing her cheek and holding to her tighter. Enma fought back a lump in his throat and tears in his eyes.

"Oh, Tsuna-kun!" The words replayed in his head. 'Tsuna-kun, Tsuna-kun'. She was taken. He should've known that it was too good to be true.

"Oh, Kozato~san! What was it that you were about to say?" Enma looked up and saw the girl and her boyfriend, their hands enclosed together.

Forcing a smile, he replied. "It's nothing. Enjoy your drink." She flashed him a smile before going out the door hand-in-hand with her boyfriend.

"Oi, Kozato! Quit daydreaming! A mini French Vanilla frap!"

"Loser Enma! Venti Purple Drink!"

As Enma tried to busy himself with making drinks once more, he couldn't help but think about the girl. She was a girl that he somehow knew that he couldn't let her pass by. He wanted to see her again.

I began getting more ideas for it, so I decided to bring this back! Please review and let me know what you think of it. Should I delete it? Continue? Review!
