A Sign of Love

Summary: Thanks for doing the dishes, a lovely gesture x Eduard.

~x~

The pile of filthy plates and cups didn't seem to have shrunken within the hours he spend with his hands in the now cold dishwater. Eduard sighed and turned around to look through the order window, because the pile of dished had blocked his sigh several times when he glanced over his shoulders. Because the dishes were just too boring and she was just too interesting.

Emma was sitting at the table the closest to him, texting probably her boyfriend. Lovino had dropped her of a few hours ago, because Emma had promised to visit at least one time during his openings week.

She noticed him staring and looked up, raising the corners of her mouth attempting to smile. Eduard could see a little sadness in her eyes, which he saw a lot lately. He wondered what was wrong but he didn't asked. It weren't his business and how the future looked for now, Emma would never be his business.

"You look like you could use some help." Emma said, seeing the pile behind Eduard and he blushed.

They stood close together in the small kitchen. Eduard with his hands in the water and she dried all the plates and tiny cups, with their shoulders touching. He liked the feeling of them so close next to each other.

When there were customers, she took their orders and made coffee, like she had been doing this for years. Emma would make a perfect waitress, but Eduard knew this wasn't the place for her according to Lovino. He always looked around the place like it was dirt.

A wet plate slipped through his hand when he was about to give it to Emma. It hit the floor and ended in a thousand pieces scattered around the floor.

Eduard knelt down to reach for the biggest pieces, at the same time as Emma. Their heads nearly touched each other and their faces were closer than they probably had ever been. She was even prettier up-close.

While her green eyes were focused on picking up the pieces to the dishes probably so she wouldn't be to late for her date, his green ones were focused on her face, lips and the tiny freckles on her nose. He liked her so much.

His cell phone rang; he had received a text message from his sister. 'Come home quickly.' Eduard narrowed his eyebrows. Something was wrong, she always ended her sentence with an x or a heart. "Emma, something's wrong at home. Can I leave you here?"

Emma looked towards Eduard, who stood up and rose above her like a tower. She smiled. "Go, I'll clean the café and do the dishes."

Eduard grabbed his coat and raced for his car just outside the shop. Through the window he saw Emma sweeping with a broom. It was a sign that she stayed in the shop without him and it was a sign that he had to leave her.
