Please enjoy~!
Chapter 2: Screw up.
Your cellphone rang as the digital numbers hit 5:00am, you randomly pressed any number just to shut it up.
"ugh...is it morning already?" You flipped your cellphone open and looked at it with one eye, it felt like you were looking into the sun.
"This is what I get for sleeping so late..." You shut that only source of light in your bedroom a.k.a your cellphone, making the room completely dark.
You sat up and yawned while stretching out your arms. Then stood up and sexually rub the wall to find the light switch.
'click!' You switched on the light rather than opening the window since the sun hasn't rised yet. You suquinted your eyes as for the second time this morning you had light shining at your eyes.
You scrached your head as you walked to the bathroom. You looked into the mirror and relized your hair was a mess, not to mention that you scracthing your head didn't help.
"wow, a lion..." You rolled your eyes and sighed as you looked at your reflection.
You grabbed a hairbrush and started to brush your hair until it looked fine to you. Before brushing your teeth and getting out of the bathroom you did a couple of poses as you tried to figure out it you were beautiful or not for today.
Next, you boiled some hot water before changing clothes to kill time as you waited for the water to get hot. After the water was boiling you turned off the stove and poured it into cupped ramen that you prepared in time.
You hopped on the couch while trying not to get your noodles spilled. The tv came on as soon as you pressed the red button on the remote.
"wonder whats on today..." You said to yourself as you happily blew on the cup of noodles so it would cool down a bit.
The channel was turned on to the news.
'Right behind me is the exact spot of where the slasher has striked another victim...' said the reporter on tv.
"huh? Its about the slasher...again?" You sighed as you wanted to change the chanel, you heard pretty much of this so called Slasher but wasn't really interested since you had no idea who it was.
You slurped down some more noodles and changed it to watch spongebob, even though you watched it enough as a kid but it didn't hurt to see it again.
After you finished eating you threw the plastic cup and fork into the trash can then grabbed your bag and jacket and got ready to go to work. Since you had to bake cakes you had to wake up early in the morning and make them to sell at the bakery, sometimes you were also allowed to be the cashier in the bakery other than baking in the back of the store.
You walked through the not so empty sidewalk while looking at your cellphone's clock.
"Five thirty,huh? I guess I could make it in time..." You thought to yourself.
You shut your cellphone and continued to walk ahead but your mind drifted off and remembered last night.
You thought about the blonde bartender that you just met, remembering it now made it seem like a dream.
"I wonder where he lives..." You would love to pay him a visit sometime, but juging by his character he wouldn't let you know where he lives let alone welcome you in.
You sighed softly. Maybe you should just stalk him home. You chuckled at this thought that seemed more like a plan.
"hmm...seems like a good idea." You smirked as you headed towards the small bakery..
.
.
You came in through the back door leading yourself into the kitchen and meeting two of your workmates that seemed to have came earlier.
"Morning Miya-chan, Taka-kun..." you greeted them as you took of your jaket an stuffed it into your bag.
"Morning (f/n)-chan~~!" Shouted the girl named Miya, she was the same age as you but been working there a few months before you.
She flung her hands around you, giving you a big hug as if you hadn't seen here for ages.
"w-waaaa..." you almost lost your balance because of that sudden glomp but you managed to hold the weight of the agressive girl.
"Hey, you two...stop playing around and start working were going to open in a few hours..." Said a man named Taka casually as he was busy icing a cake, he had sharp cat like eyes that would probly send a shiver down your neck if he glared at you.
Miya let go of your body as you approced the black haired man that tied it up in a short ponytail, and out of nowhere out pinched the man's cheek and pulled it close to you face.
"You should answer people's greetings y'know?" You pouted while putting a hand on your hip while the other was still pinching the man's cheek.
"...Morning..." He looked at you then looked away as you felt his cheeks heat up a little under you fingers. He pushed away your hand from his cheek.
"Wow~ Taka-kun is blushing~" Snikered Miya while teasing the man.
"shut up..." He glared at Miya leaving no red shades on his cheeks as a sign that he blushed.
He kinda reminded you of Shizuo when he got pissed.
"Okay~ done playing around and now you have to change and start baking!" Miya spun around and held your shoulders while grining widely.
You gave her a thumbs up and a smile then headed to the changing room. You changed into a white chef outfit then stuffed you bag and clothes into the locker. Then came back to the kitchen joining the two of your workmates.
You looked at the menu you had to bake today and started to get to work. Since you were a kid you loved to help your mom bake cakes and you made it a hobby till you got older, now you worked a small bakery for a start, hoping you can be more succesful in the future.
"hey, guess what happend yesterday!" You asked them as you worked.
"what?" Taka raised an eyebrow while mixing flour,sugar,and eggs together and not bother to look at you.
"I saw the most coolest thing...there was this bartender and he could throw a vending machine! It was so awsome!" You bursted out while waving your hands in the air to try picture out how amazing it was.
"Really? You saw Shizuo Heiwajima?" Asked Miya that was busy rolling some dough.
"huh? You know him?" You were suprised that Miya also knew about him.
"In Ikebukuro he's said to be the strongest man here...It shouldn't be odd to see a scene like that daily if you live in Ikebukuro..." Said Taka with a plain expression.
You pouted a little feeling left out, being the only one who just knew about it.
"Yeah, almost everyone in Ikebukuro knows him...I've seen him once, he's a scary guy but he's pretty hot." Miya winked at you. She was the type of friend who likes to flirt on any guy who she finds cute,hot,or sexy. But shes also a friend who like to help you out, excpessialy in your love life, if you had one...
"I g-guess you can say that..." You felt a little angry with her as you imagined her hitting on Shizuo, you didn't know why but you hoped that she didn't.
"But...He's not really my type though..." She put a finger at her chin, making a thinking pose.
"That's good..." You sighed in reilief while holding one hand on your chest as you heard those words. Making Taka and Miya look at you.
"You...like him don't you?" Miya looked a you with a wide grin that seemed to strech from ear to ear.
"N-No...you got it wrong..I-I..." You blushed as you regretted sighing in relief a few seconds ago.
"Aw~ your in love~" She spun around while clapping her hands.
"No Im not! I-It was just a coincidence that I sighed at the time!" You tried to confince the spining girl that you weren't in love with the bartender.
"Enough Miya, You should really stop playing around...Were going to open in about hour..." Taka reminded, he didn't seem so pleased but you didn't fine it odd.
"T-Taka's right...we should get back to work." This made the girl pout and go back to work, and also saved you.
You smiled at Taka as a sign of thanks but as usual he just looked away. He was two years older than you and Miya ,he was what you call the strong and silent type but he also had a soft side, he had help you alot since you moved here from finding a cheap apartment and also teached about working in the bakery. He was really a good friend.
During breaks Miya asked you more about how you met and felt about the bartender, you just explained about what happend while still trying to confince her that you didn't have any feeling towards him...at least you thought you didn't.

After work you came out the back door with your jacket sticking out from your bag a little, while walking out of the dead end alley, you were figuring out what to eat for dinner until something caught your eye. It was a blonde in a bartender suit.
"what is he doing here?" You hid behind a garbage containor and peeped at the bartender.
He stood there with his hand in his pokets while facing the place were you worked at, Soto Bakery. You tried to look at his expression from the glass that he was facing, he seemed to be deep in thought.
You tried to pass him normally until you were a few feet away from his back.
One.
You faced his back then looked left to right almost like you were going to cross the road.
Two.
You ran full speed towards the bartender.
Three.
You glomped him from behind, but not causing him to fall dispite he was lost in thought.
"Shizuo-kun~!" You rubbed your cheek against his.
"What the hell?...You again?" He looked at your face that was touching his trough the corner of his eyes.
"Yeah~ Its me again~ you missed me?" You giggled still pressing your cheek against his.
"The hell I would..." He replyed with a careless tone.
"Then why are you in front of the place I work at? You were waiting for me right? Or maybe...You're stalking me huh?" You grinned .
"Wha..?" He was not believing this.
"Aw~ Shizuo-kun~ Thats cheating! I was gonna stalk you first!" You pouted just like a little kid.
"Wait...You work here?" That was an unexpected reply.
"Of course...you didn't know?" You were kinda expecting that he did.
"Why the hell should I know...I don't care anyway..." He put his hands in his pockets.
"Shizuo-kun is so mean~" You whined.
He sighed a little, he didn't seem to have any problem holding you that was clinging on to him, he was taller than you so your feet didn't really touch the ground as you clinged on, he was really strong.
"So what are you doing here anyways?" You asked, curious of why he had come.
"None of your buisness..." He didn't seem to soften up to you but he didn't really seem to hate you clinging on to him like that, it was pretty akward.
"Don't be like that Shizuo-kun~" You rubbed you cheek against his again while swinging yourself around almost trying to get the bartender to lose his balance but it didn't work at all.
"I didn't remember to give you permission to call me by my first name..."
"I don't care~ I wan't to call you that! and only I can call you that!" You stated selfishly.
He sighed again.
"Now tell me why you came! If you wanted to buy something it should have been an hour ago..." The closing time of the small bakery was about an hour ago since you spend an hour cleaning up the kitchen.
"I told you its none of your business." He didn't seem that he wanted to talk.
"The I won't let you go until you tell me!" You were really starting to act like a little kid.
"You wouldn't want me to force you off would you..." He glared at you and all you did was glare back.
"Bring it on! I bet you I can stand all night like this!" You seemed like you really could but your arms were actually aching by holding up your weight.
He grunted then turned and started to walk and treat you like a backpack. Dispite your arms were hurting, you was really ditermined to hold on, you didn't care about the people who were looking at you two, clinging on to him and feeling his warmth was really comfortable.
.
.
.
After about 3 hours of walking around town you fell asleep, Shizuo felt you slipping off him but he caught your legs in time and held you with a piggyback ride style. He grunted a little.
"Damn, you really are persistent aren't you?" He sighed then walked to a near by bench and sat you there.
He was going to walk away and leave your there but he turned back and looked at you, it wasn't nice to leave a girl sleeping on a bench,right?
"Tch..." He sat down beside you with a anoyed face. He couldn't just leave you there.
Shizuo took a cigarette pack and a lighter out of his pocket and started to smoke, He looked at you from time to time, You seem cuter when you slept an stayed quiet...wait, what was he thinking?
He shook his head then looked away, his cheeks seemed to heat up. Then he looked back at you, scanning you with his mocha eyes from top to toe. He didn't find you bad looking at all actually, to him you were quite cute the way you pout and giggle. Okay, He really can't control what he was thinking about at the moment.
"Hmp!" You held in a smile that made Shizuo suddenly suprised and drop the lighted cigarette.
"T-The hell?" He was completely sure you were asleep a second ago.
"Is not good to stare at a girl sleeping y'know~ naughty Shizuo-kun~" You scolded him with one eye open. Well, it seemed more like teasing.
"Don't be so full of yourself! Who the hell would stare at you?" He looked away, his cheeks finally seemed to give in an glow light pink.
"hehehehe...Shizuo-kun pervert~" You giggled then faced him and poked his heated cheek.
"Shut up...Im not a pervert. Its also rude to trick people by prettending to sleep y'know..." He glared at you from the corner of his eye.
You giggled again the rested your head in this lap.
"Your so mean~ I wasn't prettending, until you sat me on the bench...Your body heat and the tempurature of the bench are totally diffrent y'know..." You looked up at him from his lap.
"W-What the hell are you doing? Get off!" The light pink shades on his cheeks only seemed to glow more by your actions.
"What? Weren't you thinking about something like this a while ago? Pervert~" You nuzzled against his leg trying to get comfortable but it didn't seem so comfortable to him.
"Y-You are totally full of yourself aren't you?" He asked again as he tried to glare dispite his glowing cheeks.
"Maybe~" You said with a playful tone.
"Tch..." He looked around only by moving his eyes hoping that no one was around.
"Now tell me...Why were you in front of the bakery earlier?" You was still curios.
"You're still going on about that?" He looked down at you while raising an eyebrow.
"Yup! And if you don't tell me...I wont get off~" You nuzzled some more getting closer to his waist. It seems like the pervert there was you.
"O-Okay...Fine." He sighed. The bartender seemed to have to choice.

Flash Back
[Shizuo age 12]
It was a regular walk to school for the Heiwajima brothers they crossed through the train crossing safely and passed a small bakery. Yes, it was soto bakery.
"Hey..." A small yet sweet voice called out to them.
The stopped and looked the way where the voice had called. They saw a young woman wearing glassws smiling while peeking through the shop's door.
"You're always injured...Are you OK?" She asked still with a smile on her face see was looking at the bandage on Shizuo's hand.
Kazuka on looked with no expression while Shizuo seemed to do the same.
"Wait a second..." The woman ran in the store then came out while bringing two bottles of milk.
"Here you go." She handed them one each.
"You need to drink milk and get stronger...same for you." She looked at Shizuo then Kasuka.
"Thanks." Said Kasuka with his pokerface still on.
She patted him on the head the smiled at both of them, and since then Shizuo's first love began.
.
.
Fast Forward
Another walk home from school for the brothers using the same way they get there, passing the bakery but today, there was something different in the bakery. A bunch of thugs crowed the bakery while trying to force themselfs on the woman.
'Ting ting ting...' The train red light rang.
Shizuo looked with widen eyes, his trembleing hand held a lollipop. A unincibable rage grew inside him slowing making its way to his head until he couldn't control his actions.
He snapped the lollipop's stick in two along with that, he also snapped.
Silence....
Moments later the shop was destroyed, the front glass had been totally smashed into peices by a crossing sign, uncaucios bodys lying everywhere including the young womans one that was pined down by a refrigeator.
He screwed up.
.
.
.
-Present Time-
"Even though she wasn't injured seriously and didn't lose her job...I didn't have the courage to see her again..." He looked down at you with a sad expression, you didn't seem look like that look on his face.
"What you did was the right thing...You don't have to feel guilty about it..." You put your hand on his cheek and rubed it gently with your thumb.
He looked at you, not saying a word. Only silence surrounded you and the blonde as your eyes stared into each others.
"But..." You pinched his cheek with the hand that was holding it about a few seconds ago.
"Im jealous that Im not your first love~" You chuckled.
"Hah?" He looked at you yet again, with an unbeliveable expression.
"But thats okay! Its better if I be your last~" You're actually joking around...aren't you?
"Cut the crap, ok?" He slapped your hand gently off his face.
"Shizuo-kun is so mean~ but you actually think so too right? You should listen to what your heart says more often..." You're kinda going too far, right? But teasing him is so damn amusing!
"Tch..." He looked away, he was just feeling better but you screwed it up.
"Thanks..." You sat up.
"...For what?" He raised an eyebrow while feeling relieved you finally got off his lap.
"Thanks for wanting to talk to me about something personal like that..." You smiled at him.
"Its not like I wanted to or anything..." He threw his head to the side.
"But you felt better didn't you?" Your smile still hasn't fade.
"Yeah, until you screwed it up..." He smirked ever so slightly.
"It was because I wasn't done bothering you for today~" You glomped him again, this time from the side.
"But you should talk with me more often...Im good listener y'know~" You nuzzled his cheek with yours.
"Oh really..." He said with an sarcastic tone while rolling his eyes.
"Yup! Because nobody else wants to talk to me...but, Im glad you do!" You sifted turning the glomp into a hug not remembering that you forced him to talk.
"Whatever..." He didn't resist you but...why?
"Okay! Im done bothering you for today~" You gave him a light peck on his cheek as a kiss good night and good bye.
You skipped untill you were only a few feet away.
"Next time you have anything troubling you come and talk to me ok? And remember to listen to your heart more ofthen!" You ran away to the direction of your way home leaving the blonde speechless.
He looked down at his lap and notice a small papper with a cellphone number and a apartment adress with a note on the bottom.
[Call/Visit me anytime~ ;3]
Without thinking he already knew it was your number and adress. It seemed like you wrote it when he was busy telling his story.
"The hell with this..." He didn't know why but instead of throwing it away you just stuffed it into his pocket, mabye he didn't like littering...or was it something else?
He looked up at the night sky while sighing.
"Listen...to my heart?" He repeated softly while trying to find the meaning of those words.
At last! Chapter 2 is finally done!
