My heart seemed to stop. I don't know why. It was just a customer...but, something felt different about him. I don't know what. I don't know why. I'm just confused.

I stood up and went to where he sat.

"What would like?" As usual I put on a smile to hide the fact that I gave up on life. Anyway, he seemed to think for a moment before answering.

"I guess I will have some coffee and eggs." At least it wasn't something complicated.

"Alright!" I walked over to the coffee maker quickly making his coffee, then going to the kitchen frying the eggs. Once ready I gave him his order and sat back to where I was. At a table on the complete opposite side he was.

I couldn't help but stare. I don't really know why. He just seemed...what the hell am I thinking? I need to clear my mind dammit! But something about this guy seemed weird to me. His blond slicked back hair seemed to shine and he looked serious but not in a bad kind of way. Within the exterior were these bright baby blue eyes that, even though I could see all that well, seemed to have emotion as they shimmered.

What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I staring at him? Why do I have this strange feeling in my chest? What is going on?

Okay! I just need to breathe and look away. Dammit! He's looking at me. What should I do! No, what I need to do is calm down. I shifted my eyes to my coffee but I couldn't help but looking back at the guy.

I was interrupted by the bell to the door ringing again. There stood Kiku. I thank him so much. He seemed to notice me and the other guy looking a bit confused. But why?

"Hello, Feli. And hello, Ludwig, I didn't expect to see you here." Wait, he knew this guy?! What wizardry is this?! Get this man arrested for witchcraft! Wait, what year is it? Dammit, I keep forgetting what year it is. For some strange reason I keep thinking its the past.

I went to make him some coffee and handed it to him as he sat down at the same table I was.

"How are you, Kiku?"

"I'm good. You?"

"Same old."

"Of course."

"So, what story will you tell me today?"

"How about the day I opened this restaurant?"

"Alright."

I went on to tell the story.

It was a complicated process. It took me ten years to get enough money to rent out this empty place. Back then I only had one table. I was jumping up and Lovi was actually smiling. I nearly screamed in joy that day. It was the first Italian restaurant in this part of town.

Things seemed slow at first. Then lunch time came around. One person came in and then another. Next thing I knew, we were running around trying to give people food. We made the table off limits so people wouldn't complain about it being unfair.

It was late in the afternoon when things finally calmed down.

"Today was a good day." Lovi was smiling and it made me so happy. Then a guy walked in. He seemed awfully happy.

"Hola Lovi!"

"Who's this fratello?" I was surprised when he answered right away but not without a sigh.

"This idiot is my soulmate."

"Wonderful! Though I am slightly angry that you didn't tell me for ten years."

"Oh so this is your brother? It's nice to meet you!"

"It's to meet you too! I'm Feliciano but you can call me Feli."

"I'm Antonio but you can call me Toni!" I liked him. He was nice.

"And that was the day I met my brother's soulmate."

"It took ten years!"

"Yeah it kind of funny."

"You have some impressive patience."

"Well, you know why."

"True."

Kiku left 20 minutes later but that guy—uh—Ludwig, he stayed. And we continued that stare down. Something in my head was telling me to go to him but I forced myself to stay still.

Why do I have these strange feelings in my chest?
