As Tsuki was sound asleep I tried to getup so I can use the bathroom. I couldn't move because Tsuki has a strong gripe on my arm. I always wonder, why is Tsuki always grapping me like that. My heart was suddenly pounding from Tsuki snuggling into me mumbling things I couldn't hear. I heard my phone ring. I was about to reach it when I realised I left it in my bedroom. And Tsuki isnt letting go of my arm because he has an odd iron gripe. The phone continously gose off for about five minutes. I was getting slightly irrated because I need to answer my phone ,hell I actually have no clue what time it then lightly turns over because he dislikes loud noises in the morning and lets go of my arm. I quickly get up and grab my phone to check to see who the text were was my boss Rouge texting me. It read multipule times ,'Hachimenroppi,please get to work quickly or Ill havr no choice but to fire you.' Then one said,"Dont make my Rouge more hurt then she has because of you know. Diamond.' I checked the time on them and it said 7:50 ,the time I'm usually at the shop.
I check the time and panicked. Fuck , I'm late for work at the antiques shop and Tsuki is supposed to be at the post office.I quickly ran into my living room to wake my sleeping friend up. "Tsukishia! Get up quickly!"I yelled. He yawned and quickly sat looks confused in his sleepy state."Come on we're late for work!"I yelled. He gasped quickly knowing he might get fired from the post office. He gets up as we both scramble getting ready for our jobs.
Half an hour later
I ran as fast as I could in the heart of downtown. I'm late by an hour, I'm possibly going to lose my jobs because I overslept. I then saw the antantiques shop ran by Rouge. I ran in and saw Rouge looking displeased. 'Where were you?' She wrote in her note book. If she wasnt mute she would have sound angry. She is mute because she has no head. She has no head because she is a dullahan.I then hear a cough. I turn around and saw a pissed off Diamond,a too calm Tsugaru, an angry Tsupari ,and a sad smile on Toki.
There my ususl co workers/ bothersome idiots . Rouge and Diamond own the store even though Rouge runs mosy of the time .Diamond is actually a university teacher though he dose help from time to time when there are no classes. Toki is there adopted daughter who is pretty much shy but kind hearted. She didn't get mad so easy so she is less irating unlike her best friend Tsupari who from what I heard is a gangster though he seems to have a terrible temper and loves Toki . He is also a big trouble maker ,he is the worst out of all of them . They both volentier from time to time .My actual coworker is Tsugaru .He is too quite and strict on everyone and everything including himself. Actually that also describes both Diamond and Rouge when it's not there family or friends there rather harsh. It's irritating though I'm used to it.
"Look hear,Mr I suggest you apologize to my lovely Rouge before I dock your payment or better yet fire you."Diamonds stated clearly pissed off. Also Diamond and Rouge are in love so much if someone messes with the other hell would break loose . I sighed and turned to Rouge. "I'm sorry Rouge ,there was a nunsuince in my apartment and there were problems getting it out this morning." I said lying. There is no way I can say me and Tsuki were late because we overslept. Rouge's shawdows wiggled and she wrote quickly on her note pad. 'Are you ok,did anyone get hurt?' It read."Nah were fine." I said looking at her forcing a small smile on my face.
'That's good Roppi. So everyone lets get to work!'Rouge wrote showing the note to everyone. Everyone including me smiled and Toki went to turn the close sign to open. The store has no set time they open or close because they find it pointless when it's there store."The sign is turned mother."Toki said in a quite voice. "Everyone places!"Diamond yells as wev all scramble. I quickly get behind the second cash register the one next to Rouge. Toki and Tsupari are on opposite sides of the store ready to help people. Diamond is a separate cash register, but that one is for returns ,exchanges, and selling their old antiques. Tsugaru is cleaning everything in the store.
The first person walked in and it was Sakuraya. Sakuraya is an annoying noble who is almost always with 'his majesty'. He is also very kind hearted and actually cares for the town unlike a certain Prince. "Hello , and ." Sakuraya said while bowing. Rouge was waving her hand and Diamond smiled kindly. "What are you hear for,Sakuraya?" Diamond asked getting up from his place. Sakuraya is the shop's number one customer and he is also a noble so we treat him differently from the rest.
"Do you have any more traditional kimono,I need on for a ball." Sakuraya stated with a look of urgency on his face. "Are you referring to the ball happening tomorrow?" Diamond asked. Oh I forgot about that silly ball ,everyone in town was invited to prince Hibaya's useless coordination for him to become king. "Yes,I'm referring to Hibaya's ball." He responded smiling whole heartily."Oh,it's tomorrow?" Toki asked looking up from her book. "Yeah ,I forgot about that. Well have to wash the ball clothes tomorrow. " Diamond responded as he got the kimino rack Tsugaru got from the back. "These are some new kimonos we got last week." Diamond said smiling at Sakuraya. " Thank you your very kind." Sakuraya said happily. He looked through the rack picking out another pink kimono. I swear he wears nothing but pink and kiminos.
"This is perfect." He said as he grabbed a light pink and white one that has floral designs all over it. He took it to the check out counter to Rouge and she rang it up as Sakuraya got his money out. After he was done paying it and left Diamond looks at me. " Hey dose anyone have clothes for tomorrow's ball?"he asked. Everyone expect for me said or in Rouge's case wrote yes. "Roppi you aren't going?"Toki asked shyly. "Dont want to go,I don't see a point." I replied vaguely. I'm not going because it's fuckin Hibaya's ball . "Are you sure,it's an opopportunity for many things."Tsugaru responded as he grabs his fans and fans himself.
"I'm sure unless Tsuki is going." I replied. "Hey why would go anyone do to that clown?" Tsuppari asked looking at me with a hates Tsuki because one time he 'accidentally broke' Toki's package when what actually happened was by the time it got here it was already broken but Tsuki had to deliver it because of post off kind certain code. "I'll go anywhere Tsuki wants me to go because I care for him." I responded coldly. "So if he asked you to jump off of a bridge with him you would do it?" He asked walking closer to me"With no hesitation." I replied more coldly. He laughs mumbling something understand his breath walking back to hid spot. I'll never question my loyalty to Tsuki ,never because I hates to admit this but I need him.
(originally I was going to have Rouge have a head but I decided not to last minute because I caused a plot I really don't know Toki's personality because I could not find anything on it so I tried to interpret it from fan art and the song . If anyone knows how she actually acts please tell me because that would be helpful)
