The Boy and his Cat
One thing I was surprised about this Guild and still not quite used to it was how they act around each other. They call each other family and drink,laugh together but in a split second,over slightest provocation or misunderstanding they go balls out at each other using both their fists and their magic. In fact that's how I learned about magic most of them carried.
Perhaps it's because I'm Japanese who prefer being passive aggressive, but it's unreal how quickly they make up with each other after a brawl even if sometimes Master had to step in to keep his 'children' in line from going too overboard.
Well,this morning a fight hadn't broken out yet and I hope it stays that way. At least it would keep my mind of heavy topics like my old life,my memories slowly coming back. A lot of them were unpleasant. Kids I knew at school,hell even some older kids at a summer camp were assholes. There are times I wish some memories don't return and I keep watching shenanigans of this Guild which I couldn't help but smile.
On another note,unlike those nasty Kids at school no one seemed to be bothered much about my 'creepy' smile. Then again there are strange looking people here so good for me. Although that train of thought is a bit disheartening. sigh
"Hachiman,will you handle the counter while I serve the meals." Mira said-yes Mirajane insisted me on calling by her that- looking pleasant and lively as ever and I responded
"Sure thing,Mira"
It's almost noon so it's about to get busy again. Mira and I take turns serving meals and handling the counter table.
I was still preoccupied with my thoughts so I didn't notice when someone sat on the barstool in front of me with the table inbetween and surprised me by saying loudly.
"Hey,give me some of that...wait! It's you from last night!"
I just stared at him like my mind had shut down and blinked,twice. Last night?
A flying blue cat popped out from behind the pink haired guy.
"Did you catch your family"
What was he...oh! that!
An embarrassing recollection from last night when I ran into him and what I assume to be his flying cat.
"Yeah" I grumbled wanting to avoid that topic.
"So,can I take your order?"
He silently stared at me, his eyes narrowed before getting up and move his head closer to my neck.
Woah there! Is he really into that!
My face is heating up! Ah, I could feel warn air coming out of his nostrils! Stop-
"I knew it! You have the Guild Mark on your neck."
He said after moving his head back and grinned. He seemed too happy about this.
" Aye!"
Man,that cat has really high pitched voice.
So he noticed Mark,that was all. phew! I mean what was I thinking!
"Well, *ahem*. I'm Hikigaya Hachiman. I just got the mark yesterday in fact. I-"
He interrupted me and I didn't like the mischievous look he had on his face.
"So you're a mage huh? You and me,let's go! I wanna see how strong you are!"
I gulped and was sure blood drained from my face with terror.
You can't be serious!
