WARNING: OOC!Characters


" Welcome!"

I always greet my customers in a cheerful matter.

The store was open 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The break time is between 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM.

" Now where is Giotto-san?"

*clang*

" Welc-Oh! Hello Giotto. Ready to work?"

" Y-Yeah, sorry for being late!"

" Yeah, your late for 4 hours. It's already 1:00 PM. Don't worry, I'm not mad. You just need to help these customers finding what they want and restock some plushies. I'll be the cashier." Note the sarcastic tone.

" S-Sorry. Did you need some help in the cashier?"

" I'm ok. This cash register has a braillie so I'm fine here. Good luck, Giotto."

" Same goes for you."

We stated to work.

~After 2 Hours~

*clang*

" Welcome!"

A red haired man with a hat came to the shop.

" Hello! My name is Kozato Simeon[1]. Do you make some custom plushies? This is the picture."

I get the picture and looked at it.

" Hm, I've feel I know this somewhere...wait a minuite sir, I'll just call someone. You plushies will be finished in exactly 1 hour."

" Sure, I am not busy. I can wait."

I leave the cashier and goes to the storage room.

" Giotto! There was someone looking for you! I think that's the reputation we're talking about. And oh, gave me the custom plushies box. He wants his plushies custom-ed."

" C-Cozart?! Here?! I'll get it."

He gave me the box immediately and walk (run) outside the storage room.

" Now let's start the plushie making!"

~After 1 hour~

I looked at the 2 finished product.

" Perfect. Now I need some ribbons. Hm, I think I left it in the cashier..."

I walk outside of the storage room...

Just to saw Kozato-san in the cashier and Giotto-san taking care of the customers.

" K-Kozato-san? Why are you in the cashier?"

" O-Oh sorry. It just that there are many customers and Giotto needs my help so..."

I smile. " I get it...thank you. I already finished the products, just a little finishing touches."

I cut a brown ribbon and knot it in the plushie's hand. I also done it with the other with a orange ribbon.

Giotto is already finished with the customers so he stands beside the cashier table.

" Here you are, sir." I gave him the plushie with a brown ribbon. "And Giotto, here are yours." I gave him the plushie with a orange ribbon.

" I-I's Cozart plushie..." Giotto looks at the Cozart plushie intensely.

" Look Giotto, your'e too cute!" Kozato-san raise his Giotto plushie.

" Giotto-san, thank you for helping me today so I give it to you as a gift."

" What about me Luna-chan?"

I smile to him.

" That would me 100 sir, thank you for shopping!"

" W-What?! And I thought I can have this for free..." Cozart-san said. Giotto sweat dropped.

" Well, you help me for an hour so I'll give you a 50% discount. Sounds good?"

" Thanks~!"

We all laugh.

~Closing time~

" Closing time guys! Hope to see you all tommorow!"

The customers leave the store.

I eyed the two who are still talking to each other.

" Cozart so...you will really leave now for good."

" Yeah...and I think this is the last time I will see you."

I butted in the conversation.

" That's why I made two plusies! One for Giotto-san and one for you, Cozart-san. So you will never miss one another. Just smile!"

Cozart and Giotto both smile.

" Now, let's have a photo taken, shall we?" I show my ready-to-print camera.

" I've never seen that camera before..."

" Well, it really is! Because it's from the future! Viper-chan gave it to me as a gift. Now...smile!"

*click**click**click*

Three photos came from the camera.

" Ok! One for you," I gave it to Giotto. "one for you," I gave it to Cozart. " and one for me!" I put the picture in one of my cloak pocket.

" Thanks. I'll treasure this, Luna."

" Thank you Luna-chan."

I smiled to both of them. " Now, next is G!"

" Now really Giotto, what did you all do?" Cozart eyed him.

" It's a long story..."

And our laughter was heard in the whole neighborhood.

" Bear-san?"

" Hm? What is it?"

We are eating, more like just I. He already ate.

" Where are Jager and Sebastian? I didn't see them all day."

I just feel he just smirked behind the bandages. " Who knows? But don't worry about them for now. I didn't see you yesterday, so how's the work?"

I sigh. " Very tiring...but fun! I met the Vongola by the way."

" Really? What did you do about it?"

" Nothing. I just made them my helpers, that's all."

He somehow choked. " A-Ahh...I guess you are really having fun."

" Yup~! I need clean this up. Sebastian seems to be too busy and the maids are already sleep. I am late after all."

" Don't worry about that. I will do it."

I looked at him in amazement. " Wow, Bear-san, I don't know you can do dishes. I guess I've overestimate you in your infant form."

" Sigh. Go now before I change my mind."

" Haiii..."


~Omake!~

GiottoxCozart here! If you don't like, don't read the omake(even it was short). Tried a hurt/comfort omake.

What if these plushies had a Two-way call?

Vongola HQ

That night, Giotto can't sleep because of what happened in the shop.

He got the plushie that Luna gave and look at it with a saddened look. It was a Cozart plushie, with a detachable hat.

" Cozart, I will miss you, you know I hate farewells. You...are really an idiot. Do you know how much I love you for all these years? Ha! I already say it! Even though it is just your look alike plushie..." He said rejectively as he held his arms around the plushie possessively. A single tear was seeing falling in his eye.

Somewhere where Cozart is, he was lying in the bed, looking at a plushie that just sitting in the table beside him. It was a Giotto plushie, with an detachable cloak.

' Giotto, I will miss you, I know you hate farewells. I...are really an idiot leaving like this. Just hiding somewhere while facing the problem yourself...' He thought as he cover himself to finally sleep.

When he starting to close his eyes, a familiar voice was heard and jolted wide awake and looked at the source of the voice. It was the Giotto plushie. He asked himself why it was talking but disregards it to listen carefully and putting the words in his heart.

" Cozart, I will miss you, you know I hate farewells. You...are really an idiot. Do you know how much I love you for all these years? Ha! I already say it! Even though it is just your look alike plushie..."

When he heard it, his heart sank and he silently cried for a minute. " Dame-Giotto! Why didn't you say it sooner?! Y-You idiot! I-I also love you, you know?! Say something, you idiot!" He sadly said as he shake the Giotto plushie.

" HIEEEE! C-Cozart?!" Giotto shriek as he looked at the Cozart plushie.

When the words coming from the plushie clicked inside Giotto's mind, he tried to smile while crying. " I-I...Cozart, so you love me as well...But for our Family, we should make a sacrifice. I should tell you this sooner..."

" I understand...Even we can't see each other anymore, I will not forget you, no matter what."

" Good night, Cozart..."

" You too, Giotto..."

And they both sleep...
