Chapter 2: Reminiscing
The voice has quieted down the moment he has laid eyes on her. He was observing her every movement as she moves towards them and –
"Hey Sassan …"
"Ahh … Uhh … What?!" cutting him off his reverie.
"What were you spacing out for? About tomorrow's plans …?"
He quickly apologized and began telling them about tomorrow's plans. He didn't even knew what he was spacing out for and his two companions were worried about him.
The next day …
"The connection between the Nutcracker and the Madam's World …There's also the existence of the yet to be destroyed Gourmet Club that's bothering me …" he can't focus properly on Hanbee's words. It's almost like a child who's physically inside the room but with his mind drifting away from reality hearing nothing from the teacher. It's just he can't get yesterday's event out of his mind. The café, the fragrance, the coffee, and the beautiful waitress that served and prepared them the heavenly coffee, he just can't get them out of his mind for awhile.
"That … Girl…" then he reminisced over what happened in the café yesterday …
"Please … Have a seat here," the waitress led them to their seat and he responded by ordering three coffees. He can't seem to put a finger on it but the she … He remembered she looked shocked when they made eye contact. Did he know her before? Was she a former classmate? A classmate from before? Was she one of the people who saw him trip himself on the front door of the library? Maybe one of their neighbours, but if she was one of their neighbours, he would have already seen her. Or perhaps he has been here? He tried to shake off the idea since all he knows is that he hasn't been in a café called ":re" before. Then before he knew it, the barista who didn't greet them when they came into the café, sat in front of him, scrutinizing him without saying a word and confused all of them.
"Ummm … Ah … The order was three cups of coffees?" he said and then the man got up and began to move his way to the counter silently as he heard a shout behind the counter who is assumed to be his younger sibling as she called out to him, "Nii-chan what did you do?! The customers will run away!" He has to agree with that since why would a waiter sat in front of their customers silently to ask again the order! The waiter would just go to the table of their customer and kindly ask them their order again which would be the natural thing to do. Her brother will surely scare the other customers away because of his lack of good customer service.
Then the waitress came with their coffee while apologizing, "Sorry for the wait". As soon as the coffee was placed on their table, he couldn't wait to get his hands on it and judging by the fragrance, the coffee seems very promising of its taste. "It's a great smell," he complimented and brought the coffee to his lips and took a sip. It was beyond his expectations and it tasted better than he imagined. He was half listening to what Shirazu and Mutsuki were saying because he was a million thought were running in his head. The coffee was too much to express in words and before he knew what was happening, tears started to continuously fallout from his eyes. "Ah … Ahaha … Yeah it's good," too much indeed that instead of expressing the taste in mere words he expressed it into a reaction and made him cry.
"Sassan that's too much! Some new kind of joke?"
"No it's strange … I wonder what this is …" he was confuse, very confuse. Tears wouldn't stop falling and he sees the white haired man also crying. It was all confusing. He couldn't stop the tears from falling and the waitress offered him a handkerchief for him to wipe his tears. "Ah, I'm sorry …" he apologizes and accepts the handkerchief. "it's delicious … It really is …" "Great your first impression was the man who cried because of coffee," it really is pathetic, his first impression on her. He lifts his head to take a good look at her, "She gave a smile. A smile that looked troubled and a bit sad … And the thought that I had such a beautiful person in my life crossed my mind". She smiled and said, "Thank you very much".
Author's Notes: I know the first 2 chapter were totally based on the manga but chapter 3 and the others will be probably mine or other future scenes in the manga. I'm having trouble of how Sasaki will approach Touka but I'm getting there so don't worry. I'm still working it out. Reviews will be greatly appreciated along with grammatical corrections and suggestion. Thanks!
