I swear that I don't know what I'm doing and that I'm just hoping for some divine fucking willpower to fall upon me and get me to write something. Not even more often. Something.

Also I will go along with the fanfic personalities for now but I'd be overjoyed to get info and help on how to not be an unoriginal dumbass, at least by telling me what the girls's other traits are. I am too proud and stubborn and stupid to look up the mangas and read them. I wish I knew why so I could fix it.

When I said that I'd try to give them more of a character, I actually meant give them reasons to have the one character trait I know they have.

Reimu slowly woke up and left her room. This must have been the most peaceful sleep she's had in years. Clad in nothing but some thick robes, she left her room to find Marisa, asleep in her living room, her cheek in her unfinished plate of veggies, snoring somewhat loudly. The shrine maiden raised an eyebrow and chuckled in amusement, sitting next to her and trying to softly shake her awake.
"Hey, I never agreed to the sleepover you dumbass. Plus, you're being really dirty and stupid looking."

After a few minutes of trying and failing to wake Marisa up, and checking her breathing just to be sure, she decided to at least clean up her table and yank the plate from under the witch's head, who surprisingly still didn't wake up.
"Geez, did she down an entire bottle of sleeping pills or something?"

Out of curiosity, she checked under her eyes to see some black marks. Yep, she had bags under her eyes. But what would make her not sleep well? Oh well, not her business, it's only Marisa's, so Reimu shrugged and went to finish cleaning the table, gather the leftovers and put the plate in the dirty tableware basket to clean this Sunday, and then left the place. But before she passed the door, she looked back at the sleeping girl, went back inside to get a piece of paper and a pencil and left Marisa a message when she flew away, giggling a little at her immature humor.
It's still funny to imagine Marisa's face when she just wakes up and sees "bitch" written in front of her.

A minute later she arrived in front of LeBlanc. As she opened the door, the bell chimed softly, as usual, and she let out a sigh. She was surprised at how her sigh was. Usually, her sighs when arriving in the café were heavy, at best. But this one seemed regular. She touched her chest and breathed deeply, trying to get the rest of her usual sigh out, but she didn't manage to.

Sojiro came to stop her aimless wandering of where a sigh had gone to.
"Hey. You're late."

Reimu raised her head quickly with surprise, since she was taken out of her thoughts rather abruptly, and bowed.
"I-I'm sorry Boss, uh... A friend came over last night and I did not see time pass..."

The man merely chuckled softly.
"Well, your punishment will be simple: spend the day in your outfit, and if a customer shows up, you'll have to at least say hello. In your work outfit."

The maiden blinked softly and blushed before letting out a groan a second later.

"Hey, you never wear it outside of the attic and hide when someone comes in, you need to get confident with it, and if I have to force you to at least say hi in it as a start, then so be it."

She opened her mouth to protest, but couldn't. He was right. This is her work outfit but she is highly reluctant to do actual work in it. So she sighed a bit, nodded and went back into the attic to change. A few minutes later, she came out with her outfit on, appreciating the comfort and how it doesn't show everything once more, but hating the glasses that started to hurt her ears after just a few minutes.
Nothing out of the ordinary.

That's when a customer came in, making Reimu yelp softly because, she's been, once again, pulled out of her thoughts. She looked around, a little paniced, but Sojiro began talking.

"Hello. Here for the usual?"

"Yeah, I really need it, I got in an argument with my mother last night so I didn't sleep well..."

"You do have some bags under your eyes."

And so, Boss began to make coffee for the man with practiced ease. The customer sighed deeply and finally noticed Reimu.
"Oh, hello there. Are you a new employee?"

This took the maiden by complete surprise and she couldn't talk for a bit, but then, here came Boss to the rescue again.
"This is my niece, Rias. She came here not too long ago, and I thought that hiring her would help her become less socially akward. Don't mind her too much."

She couldn't help but fidget around nervously, nodding along with the lies Sojiro was making for her. The man gobbled them up.

"Aaahhh, I understand. Is she from outside too?"

"Yeah. I'd rather not develop, it's not my place to say."
Sojiro winked at Reimu, or now, Rias.

"That's fair. Well, it's nice meeting you Rias. I hope you can break out of your shell soon." He smiled as honestly as he could before he broke down with a sigh, limping onto the counter as he groaned. "Tireeeed..."

This just made Sojiro chuckle in amusement as he poured coffee into a cup, though not as much as usual, and then completeld it with cold milk and a spoon for the man to mix it all with. It seems he didn't make any favors for anyone. But the man just took the spoon and absentmindedly started to mix his drink.

"U-uhm... If you're that... Tired... Why not go onto one of the tables? The... The seats there might be more... You know... Comfortable."

The customer looked at the employee with a raised eyebrow, making her die inside with shame, thinking that she said something she shouldn't have. But then he just smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, you might be right. I could maybe even lay down if Boss lets me."
That comment made him laugh a bit.

Sojiro shook his head. "Don't put your feet on the sofa, and if another customer comes in, sit up."

The customer nodded and got off his chair, stumbling a bit, before taking his cup and bringing his drink and himself to the closest table. He sighed, assesed the couch and nodded.
"You were right, this is much more comfortable. Thanks Rias."

She nodded back a bit to say 'you're welcome', and hoped he'd get the message. The customer began to drink his cup, not letting it go until he went wide eyed and set it down, showing that it was almost empty. He wiped his face with his sleeve before he started talking. "I forgot to introduce myself to you, sorry! I'm Ito Daichi, I work at the bakery nearby. Hope I wasn't too rude."

'Rias' shook her hands in front of her wildly. "O-oh, uh, don't worry about it, I'll be fine. I-it's nice to meet you mister Daichi."

He laughed a bit. "Please, call me just Daichi. It's nice to meet you too."

Sojiro looked at Reimu and began to wonder where her actual anxiety stopped and her act started. But it wasn't his place to ask.

"Ah, Boss, I was wondering, will you go to the flower viewing? It's this weekend. I know you're new here and value the calm, but the thing's fun, and I kinda hoped to get to talk to you without the counter in between us."

Both employees completely forgot up until now, Reimu panicking more than Sojiro.

"Where will it be?"

"Oh, just the Hakurei shrine. Most events take place over there, because the Maiden does so much for us. I haven't seen her in a while though. Youkai are acting up a bit so we might soon, if they're not just being excited for the event."

Sojiro looked at 'Rias' who seemed to have shut down entirely, making him chuckle.
"Don't worry, you can take care of yourself. I just want to be able to meet an old friend, I'll bring her back here to talk afterwards."

That caused the attention of both of the others to gravitate towards Boss.

"An old friend...? Aren't you from the outside though?"

Boss chuckled. "Yes, well... It's a long story."

The two others looked at each other with a mix of confusion and concern. Maybe a bit of fear. Who knows.

And then Reimu remembered, again, that she hasn't even began to work on the preparations for the festival and looked at Sojiro in extreme concern, but a sinple stare was not enough for him to understand so he simply raised an eyebrow. She sighed softly and shook her head, deciding to tell her when they're alone.

Today was going to be long. And with this job, all the days until the festival too. Sojiro could only tolerate her slacking off so much, even if she has a good reason to not be there.

I will only take criticism for my schedule in the form of interpretative wolf howls. I'll take critism for the actual story in actual written english though please and thank you. And thanks to those that said that they would help me if I ever hit a big problem, really sorry about not writing for a long while, I already had an art block when it comes to drawing, so writing, which I do more rarely, was completely out of the question. Feels nice to write again though.
