Hello, and welcome to this new chapter of "Mr. Improvement" . I'd like to thank those of you who viewed, reviewed, and followed this story. It really makes me happy.
Yuma's P.O.V.
I sat silently across my "Soon to be" boss. ... Well hopefully he will be my boss if he accepts me cause only God knows how much I need this job. Especially if I am going to help pay my mother's dept.
"Alright, so tell me about your earlier work experience." The bluenette smiled slightly as he began to write stuff down on the clipboard he was holding. I only tried my best to not look so nervous because of it.
The question did make me think a bit about my work experience, and to tell the truth, I don't think I have any as far as I can tell. All I did was play my guitar out on the streets. I would keep at least ten or twenty dollars to myself and give the rest to my mom. That wasn't much of a real job ... .
I looked up at the man and saw him give me a slight worried look and then set his clipboard down. "It's okay if you don't have any work experience. I've already made up my mind to hir-" "Please! I need this job so much. It's not even about me, but to help pay my mother's debt. ...I've been trying search for a job ever since I've moved out of my parents place. They all either had enough workers or just didn't want me. So just please ..." I stopped myself from talking once I heard him chuckling.
I couldn't tell whether I should just take my stuff and leave or just stay seated.
"Whoa there, relax a little. I said I was going to hire you despite the fact you don't have any working experience." He then stood up from his seat and extended out his hand. "It'd be a big help if you start today. So stop getting all tear-eyed and shake my hand if you accept this job." He gave a quick wink and smiled.
I bit my lip and shook off the tears that dared to form. "Thank you." I grabbed his hand and shook it gratefully.
As I shook his hand, I snapped my head to the right once I heard footsteps coming from the entrance.
"Someone is in here." I told him as I listened carefully. All he did was stared at me in a confused expression. "What?" I asked once I noticed his stare.
"I don't hear anyone; but if you say you hear someone in here I'll go check." He gave a slight sigh and began to walk out of the back-room. "If something happens, run and help me." The blunette lastly said before he went off.
Gakupo P.O.V.
I was lucky to see that Kaito had kept his extra key under the plant-pot by the door. If he didn't, I was going to sneak through the back window.
Once I came in, I walked over to one of the tables and lied my laptop on top of it. I hadn't laid a finger on the keyboard in such a long time, but it still feels familiar and comforting.
"G-Gakupo?!" I stopped looking at the computer and looked up to see Kaito scared out of his mind. He stood about four steps away from me along with a pink-head hiding behind him. I couldn't help but laugh at the blunettes reaction. "What?! When?! How!? Your Damn hair!" He struggled to form a sentence.
I leaned against the edge of the table and pulled out the envelope out of my vest. "Let's just say that I'm starting over." I then tossed the envelope over to him. "That should cover everything I owe you, interest, and a little extra for saying congrats on the new employee." I winked over to the guy that was peeking at me from behind Kaito.
Kaito quickly ripped it open and pulled out the money. By the look of his face, he was more than pleased. "How much is this?" He asked as his hands were glued onto the wad of cash.
"About $6,100." I held back a laugh once I saw the two of them staring at the money as if it was something they never seen before. "Subside from the money and my hair being short, let's talk about your new employee." I snapped the two of them out of their gaze. Kaito quickly shoved the cash in his back pocket and sat in one of chairs . He then patted the seat next to him for the other to sit in.
"Yuma, this is my best friend, Gakupo." I looked down at the kid and saw his bright green eyes look up at me. "He heard you coming in not too long ago, but I didn't hear crap." The bluenette sighed heavily.
Even I know that I didn't make any noise. "My smelling sense is a bit low, ... that is why I my hearing sense is stronger. I can hear things people can't." The kid pipped up.
Me and Kaito both stared at him blankly. "So that was why you seemed so alerted earlier." Kaito said to him. All he did was nod his head in response. "You don't hear that everyday, besides, you don't have to act so shy in front of Gakupo. He's a cool guy." Kaito pointed towards me as I took a seat across from them.
"Yuma, was it?" The pink-head just stared at me and nodded his head. `I don't know why I have the sense that this kid does not like me.´ "You kind of remind me of a cat. Sharp sense of hearing, alarming green eyes, and you seem as the timid type of person. Though ... I know you're more than that." I chuckled as I stood up to ruffle my fingers though his hair. "Kaito is lucky to find a person like you. Especially with the type of gift you have." I smiled down at the kid.
"Yuma, I need you to switch the Close sign to Open. It's about time to start the day." Kaito quickly got up from his seat and jogged over to the counter. As for the boy, he just sat there staring at me.
"Are you Kamui Gakupo? Author of `Mr. Improvement ´?" I smirked once I heard the hint or excitement in his voice.
"So you're familiar with my work? That's nice to see." I couldn't help but run my fingers through his hair. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I know that I hadn't released another book of Mr. Improvement in a long time due to my own personal problems, but Starting today I'm going to start writing again. Don't tell anyone and I'll let you be the first one to read it."
His face had quickly turned red as he quickly scooted back. "Sure. I have to get to work now." He then rushed over towards the door to switch the sign.
`Maybe this could be a starter to the first chapter.´ I thought to myself as I turned my laptop on. `This will work.´
