Chapter 2: dealing with customers
Chisaki and Hado walk back to their office, with Kurono not that far behind them. "Don't forget, you gotta talk to Bakuhoe at 2 o'clock." said Hari
"Tch, you shouldn't call the customers that, idiot."
"Whatever man, I'm going out to get lunch, want anything?"
"...coffee."
"Another one? Dude you literally just drank about 5 cups. Anything for you umm...im sorry what's you name again?"
"Who are you talking t-" Chisaki was cut off by a voice too loud for him.
"i'm you new partner Nejire Hado, remember?"
"Ah yes, well do you want something or...?"
"No thanks!" And with that, the two of them were just left alone in the office. Chisaki couldn't help but feel like he was being pulled down by a heavy force of tension. It was quiet, but not the peaceful type. More so the awkward somebody say something type. As if God had answered his prayers, she finally said something. But, it just pissed him off more.
"So... aren't you gonna say sorry? "
"Tch, What for?"
"For calling me and my friends names this morning."
"Well, partner, I think if your friend didn't steal my spot, I wouldn't have said anything."
He swore he heard someone giggle. Chisaki turned around to see the girl covering her mouth, almost as if she was trying not to laugh. "Are you just fucking with me?"
"HAHAHA! JEEZ MR. GRUMPY PANTS! IM ONLY KIDDING OH MY GOD THAT WAS FUNNY! IM SORRY PARTNER HAHAHA!"
'I'm literally stuck with a kid. why couldn't Hari take her?' His thoughts were interrupted by that sweet, annoying voice.
"So what's the agenda for today?"
"...Well I planned on meeting with a customer today."
"Then I'm coming."
"No, you will stay here I won't let you screw this up."
"Wow harsh, but I'm still coming. I don't know why you are so stuck up, but I'm not an intern. Got that, Grinch? yeah, that's the new nickname. Grinchy!"
"I swear if you call me that I'll-"
"You'll what? steal all the presents and ruin Christmas Grinchy?"
"No I'll torture you in ways that will leave you scared of me."
"Huh, kinky, but not really my thing. never figured you were somebody into SM"
"STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH GIRL!"
"Tehe. I'm only teasing Mr.Grumpy."
"I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"To the meeting."
"Ooh wait for me!"
back to Hari
The silver haired man had been waiting at Wawa for his sandwich and his friends drink. He couldn't help but wonder what the two of them were doing at the moment. "She does have quite the personality. but I guess everyone does. Especially Rappa and Setsuno. I guess this is what Chisaki needs, someone who will test him 24/7."
"Hey will you hurry up and order! Please take your time sir!"
Hari stared at the clerk, he was a funny looking man, nothing really standing out about him except for the way he talked. He looked at his ID, seeing his name was Jin.
"...right." Was all he could say back. Well can I get one coffee and two chicken sandwiches."
"Chicken sandwich? That's gross! Excellent choice! That will be 24.68 sir."
Hari paid the amount said, grabbed their lunch and went to his car. he dialed in his partners phone number, waiting for him to pick up. "Hello?"
"Hey man, I got the food. I'm on my way back. What's going on over there?"
"Not much. just checking my ema- 'HEY WHO YA TALKING TO? HI IM NEJIR-' Be quiet! Huh just hurry and get hear before I kill this girl."
"hehe, ok see ya later."
Back at office
"Hey, girl, don't shout when I'm on the phone. got that?"
"yeah yeah I got it. tehe."
"Good... listen, stay here and wait for Hari to come back. And tell him to don't touch my food. you too. I don't want it contaminated."
Chisaki walked towards the customer who had been waiting for him. He could tell that the man was already mad, so he would have to watch what he would say to him.
"Mr. Katsuki Bakugo, what can I help you with today?"
"STOP PLAYING DUMB! LET ME BUY THE HOUSE!"
"sir, I'm going to need you to lower your tone. and like I've said before, if you want the house, we're gonna need a bigger offer."
"YOU KNOW WHAT, IM CALLING MY LAWYER!"
'Sigh, here we go again, because I have-'
"BECAUSE I HAVE MY RIGHTS!"
"yeah you do that, though I'm not sure how that will help you. is that all for today?"
"GO TO HELL!"
'Same.'
Chisaki walked back to his office, seeing that Hari had came back because his sandwich was on the desk. With both Hado and Hari gone, he figured they went on there lunch break.
'Finally, peace and quiet. just 4 more hours til I can go home.'
Those 4 hours had went by faster than anticipated. their shifts had ended and Chisaki walked through the rows of parked cars trying to find his. He had seen two teenagers standing with a sign in their hands. it was some type of fundraiser from what he could see. he didn't really like donating money, since the last time it was a scheme. but these kids looked innocent. 'ah what the hell. why not.' They looked sad and tired, as if they were out there the whole day and hadn't accomplished anything. But their facial expressions changed when they saw him walking towards them.
"H-Hello sir! my name is Izuku Midoriya."
"And I'm Ochako Uraraka!"
"Can we interest you in any of our items? we are doing a fundraiser so we can raise money for our senior trip."
"...I see. How much is the pen?"
"1.50!" said the rosey cheeked girl.
"I'll take one of those." he pulled out his wallet, getting the money for the pen. But then he heard the voice that was so sweet, but so annoying.
"Is that Uraraka? Hey girl! how ya been?"
"Nejire! oh my God it seems like forever since I've seen you! I'm doing good! How's the new job?"
"It's really cool, although my partner is a stuck up bi- oh hey, Chisaki! he's my partner!"
An irritated vein popped out of his forehead, while both teenagers just sweat dropped.
"I really miss you and tsuyu. oh yeah tell Ms. Ryuuku and Ms. Joke that I appreciate them! they're great bosses!"
"You mean, Mrs. Joke."
"...WAIT SHE GOT MARRIED?!?!"
"Yep! to Mr. Aizawa!"
"Good for them!"
"Well I'll see you later! let's catch up some time!"
"Sure thing! See ya!"
Chisaki was now right next to the door, when he heard someone running towards him. he turned around, to see his partner coming at him at full speed. "WAIT! I need a ride."
"Are you kidding me? What about the guys that dropped you off this morning?"
"They're busy! pretty please?"
"Tch, fine give me the directions."
Oh thank you so much! OK take a right."
They had been quite the whole ride, but Chisaki had noticed something strange.
"That's weird."
"What is?"
"This is the route I usually go, when I go home."
"really? what a coincidence."
"mhm"
"Turn left, then we should be here."
It suddenly hit him. "At this apartment complex?"
"Yep!"
'We live at the same place. What did I do to deserve this?'
They got out of the car, started walking in opposite directions towards their apartments. He was about to open his door, when he heard her call out to him.
"Hey Chichi, you're off tomorrow right?"
"So what?"
"Can you... never mind."
"Ask"
"No it's ok."
"Ask or I'll be mad."
she kinda played with her hair, looking at the ground in embarrassment. Chisaki thought that she looked kinda cute, but he would never admit that. she finally let out a deep breath and said-
"...can you teach me how to drive?"
Sigh, I've got a long day ahead of me.
