"You can start tomorrow then."
"Thank you, should I take the uniform from the back before I leave?"
"It's summer! The weather is hot enough even without some stuffy uniform like that."
"You were the one who designed those stuffy uniforms."
"Details details, anyway, we do have customized polo for this season!"
"I'll get it before I leave then, thanks again Boss."
"Last one, there is someone around your age that will do the part time job with you tomorrow, I thought you should know."
"Noted, see you tomorrow!"
-8-
"So Kaito, this is Shinichi, Shinichi, Kaito, you both will be working here at Tasty Treat together until summer ends."
"Nice to meet you Kaito-kun."
"You too."
"Well, we are done here, let's get going and open the shop."
"Don't you need to teach us how to mix match the ice cream Azusa-nee?"
"You both have been my loyal customer for almost three years, pretty sure you know how to make all in the menu by now."
"That's sounds horribly irresponsible Azusa-chan~"
"Don't question your boss Kaito-kun, and also that's Azusa-san to you."
"But what if the customer wants pastry or something?"
"I make the pastry; you serve it, and if anything bad happens you can always ask your seniors."
"But-"
"It's just serving ice cream, what could possibly go wrong?"
-11-
"It's just serving ice cream, she said."
"I want my ice cream nii-san!"
"She totally convinced me that this will be easy."
"I want double scoop, not three!"
"What are you muttering about Kaito-kun?"
"Sprinkles! More sprinkles!"
"She never told us how to handle bunch of snooty elementary brats!"
"Where is my blueberry ice cream?"
"Stop muttering and help me Kaito-kun! Refill the chocolate tub and help me serve these kids!"
"Don't step on my foot Genta-kun!"
"What could possibly go wrong, she said."
"That nii-san dropped ice cream on my hair!"
"I didn't sign up for this."
-14-
"So, how was your first week working here?"
"It was painfully horrible."
"More like horribly painful."
"You never told how bad the infamous Japanese lunch time rush for someone behind the counter!"
"What kind of sadistic senior I was if I told you that?"
"Are you kidding me Sera-chan? You were not even helping us!"
"And here I thought no one eats ice cream for lunch."
"That's summer magic! "
"There's no such thing as summer magic Sera-nee."
"There is such thing as summer magic!"
"Hear that Shinichi-kun, Kaito-kun agreed with me!"
"Summer magic is wanting ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner~"
"I can hear your blood sugar screaming in pain Kaito-kun."
"Summer magic is wearing pretty yukata."
"Summer magic is about firework festivals!"
"There's nothing magical about those two."
"There is some magic in fireworks!"
"Summer magic is new love and lots of kisses!"
"I can't believe the Sera-chan just said that."
"Me too."
"Hey, I am a girl you know."
"Yeah, but you are not the girly one."
"Anyway, we were talking about you being a horrible senior."
"You were munching on gelato with Ran-nee that time, that's very mean of you Sera-nee."
"Don't worry, if you can handle that rush, your next two months here will be a piece of cake."
-22-
"Lunch break is the best part of the day."
"Eating frozen goods is your best part of the day."
"That's true, Azusa-chan is the best for giving us freebie every single summer day~"
"Too bad I don't dig sweets as much as you tough."
"You should, sweet food is the best food in the world."
"Anyway, why are you working here Kaito-kun? You never struck me as the kid who works his summer away."
"So are you, but here you are."
"That's still not answering my question."
"For your information, mom made me do this."
"Same reason as I am then."
"Are you serious? What did she do to make you come?"
"She confiscated the key to family library and dropped some words to Azusa-nee."
"She took away your book fix."
"Yeah, and now I suffer the withdrawal, what about you?"
"She forbid dad to teach me new tricks, and she is the one who sign me up to Azusa-chan."
"Ouch, you didn't even have choice."
"Yeah, woe is me; can I have consolation vanilla scoop from my beloved, kind hearted Shinichi-kun now?"
"Nope, I like those too much to give it up for you."
"Please? It's the last flavor left, bet you like it least!"
"I save the best for last."
"Please? Please without vanilla scoop on top because I am going to take yours?"
"No Kaito-kun, that's not going to happen,"
-34-
"Welcome to Tasty Treat, how can I help you today?"
"I ship you and Kaito-kun together."
"Excuse me miss?"
"Never mind, my friend dared me to say that to you. I'll take two chocolate parfaits please."
"Okay, do you want anything else?"
"No, I am at table seven by the way"
"We'll send out the order in ten minutes."
"So, why is my favorite waiter staring confusedly at a customer?"
"She said something weird, where were you?"
"At the back talking with Azusa-chan, she said that we are going to the beach, two days one night~"
"That's nice; the others are coming too?"
"Obviously, what did she said to make you confused like that?"
"She said she ship us together."
"I never realize the girls think of Shin-chan and I that way."
"You know what that mean?"
"Yeah, it means something like this."
"Kyaa!"
"Did you just kiss my cheek?"
"Yup, and that girl is now furiously taking our photo, smile for the camera Shin-chan~"
-42-
"That's cheating."
"Who's cheating?"
"You totally were!"
"How do you even come to that?"
"You have Sera-chan and Ran-chan in your team."
"You have Aoko-san and Azusa-nee in yours."
"That's still unfair; those two played like a freaking pro!"
"The way you said it sounds like you are jealous at me Kaito-kun."
"I am furious because I lost to you! And maybe a tad bit jealous too because they played with you."
"I can't hear your last mumble but I am going to hold into that information for future use."
"I am still mad over here."
"Let it go, it's just volleyball."
"Never!"
"We should sleep; I did tire you up earlier."
"Wow Shin-chan, that's sounds so wrong."
"It's just you, get under the blanket."
"Sounds so, so wrong."
"The girls said we're going diving tomorrow; get under your own blanket, Kaito-kun."
"Then I am not going to go down tomorrow."
"Stop hugging me!"
"But you are so warm and I'm so cold right now!"
"I give up, can't you swim?"
"Can, but don't want to, fish phobia."
"I see, but you still should sleep."
"But Shin-chan, I am not sleepy~"
"Wait, I haven't told you about that."
"Tell me about what?"
"I am going on vacation for three weeks, leaving the day after tomorrow."
"Where?"
"Don't know yet, mom is kind of hiding it from me."
"Bet she'll take you to tropics Shin-chan, warm weather, tropical fruits, and all that!"
"Probably not, she hates the heat here so probably somewhere cold."
"That's sounds awesome~"
"Kaito-kun, please keep your hand to yourself."
"I don't want to, you are warm and my hands are cold, everyone already knows about this?"
"You are the first; I am going to tell Azusa-nee tomorrow."
"Aw, I am going to miss you so much."
"Too bad, at least Sera-nee and Ran-nee will keep you company."
"I don't want their company."
"Sure you do, you said so earlier."
"You just don't get it do you?"
"Get what?"
"Never mind, I'll just go to sleep."
"Good night Kaito-kun."
"Good night."
-50-
"Kaito-kun."
"What is it Ran-chan? Do you need my help?"
"No, but I do need a favor from you."
"Anything for you Ran-chan~"
"Please ask him out."
"Ask who what?"
"You know who I mean!"
"I guess?"
"Everybody knows about it Kaito-kun, please stop playing innocent."
"Okay okay I admit it, but what brings this sudden talk exactly?"
"Azusa-san keeps bothering me about you guys and all your mushiness over the counter."
"I see."
"She also said that she will personally lock you both in the café after hours soon if you are not going to do something about it."
"That will probably solve all my problems, but it sounds so scary coming from Azusa-chan~"
"I suggest you start to plan what you want to do Kaito-kun."
"I am on my way making one, don't worry."
"Put us out of our misery and ask him out already, the faster the better."
-64-
"Hey."
"Ah!"
"Stop hugging him Kaito-kun, let the poor guy breath."
"Oh shush, I miss this guy!"
"Hakuba-san, where is Azusa-nee? I need to tell her I'll back to work tomorrow."
"She's out at the moment, it won't be long tough. Why don't you wait at the back?"
"Will do, thanks for covering my shift~"
"I was talking to Shinichi-kun you know."
"Aw please?"
"Just go, you are not going to stay no matter what I say anyway."
"You know me too well Haku-nii, I am touched."
-x-x-x-
"So, any particular reason you just ditched Hakuba-san for me?"
"I miss you, isn't it enough?"
"Yeah right, you emailed me a lot when I was away, I can assure you that you miss absolutely nothing from my vacation."
"That doesn't mean I can't miss you Shin-chan."
"Whatever, it feels like you are an eager lady waiting for her lover to come home tough,"
"I am, too bad I am not the lover yet."
"Sorry to interrupt you lovebirds. Azusa-san is coming back late; you guys can go home now."
"You are ruining the moment really."
"And I'll tell her later about your arrival, Shinichi-kun."
"Thank you Hakuba-san."
"Good to have you back; no one can control Kaito's antics except you."
"That's just mean Haku-nii!"
"See you around, boys."
"Anyway Kaito-kun, you were saying?"
"Wait; let me pick up my bag first."
"Kaito?"
"I am going to walk you to your house, it's okay right?"
"Sure, what did you say before? Hakuba-san was talking over your voice!"
"Forget about it, it's not that important."
"Now I am really curious."
"Walk faster, walk faster~"
"Kaito!"
"Run faster!"
"Hey!"
"Oh look, we are in front of your house already."
"You made us run the whole way!"
"Well, we are here now, see you tomorrow Shin-chan~"
"Wait, this is for you."
"A box of chocolate? Here I thought you don't really like chocolate."
"But you do, that's why I said it's for you."
"Aw thanks, Shin-chan is the best!"
"I know, just go home already, it's getting dark."
"One more thing,"
"Yeah?"
"Welcome home Shin-chan."
-77-
"So you guys are aggressively feeding each other now?"
"I am stealing ice cream from Kaito's bowl, which can hardly be called feeding."
"Do tell me how your lunch break has become this feeding thing."
"It's not that Aoko-san, and for your information Kaito-kun started it!"
"Lies, Shin-chan did!"
"You did!"
"No, you gave me the permission to eat your share!"
"The chocolate one, not the vanilla scoops!"
"I didn't take that one!"
"You did!"
"I didn't!"
"Boys, boys,"
"He started it!"
"Sure, he started it."
"You pointed to both of us!"
"I think you guys should take all this fight-flirting to the counter you know, the girls will love it!"
"Fight-flirt?"
"Oh they are alright; I heard that the girls are shipping me and Shin-chan so hard together."
"Really? You sure you have given your best to make the customers happy?"
"I have, we have, and it's also my chance to be touchy feely with this guy."
"…."
"Everyone in this shop knows about your crush but the crush himself."
"I know right, woe is me."
"I don't even following this conversation anymore."
"For someone so smart you could be damn oblivious, Shinichi-kun."
"I have a plan Aoko-chan, don't worry."
"You guys talking like you know every single seconds of each other life."
"That's the perks of being childhood friends Shin-chan."
"Fear not, I am not planning to steal this guy from you Shinichi-kun."
"I give up."
-86-
"Your last day of work, I am going to miss having you guys here."
"Aw, I love you too Heiji-kun~"
"Who else will get the orders for me from now on?"
"It's that all we are to you Heiji-san?"
"And those lunch time rushes!"
"Do you hear the sounds of my heart breaking? Cause I feel it, so much."
"Why don't you ask Shinichi-kun to kiss it better then?"
"Would you do it Shin-chan?"
"Stop battling your eyelashes at me, and no I won't kiss your nonexistent heartbreak better."
"So mean, he is meaner than you Heiji-kun."
"And you still love me anyway."
"With my whole beating heart."
"Are you guys sure you are not dating?"
"No."
"Of course Heiji-san."
"Why you said no, Kaito-kun?"
"Because I am not sure, and I want to anyway."
"Are you planning to do something on firework festival?"
"Obviously."
"Talk about firework festival, when are you going to ask Kazuha-san Heiji-kun?
"Yeah, ask her out already!"
"You are one to talk Kaito-kun."
"That's irrelevant."
"Why's everybody interested in my love life anyway?"
"Because Kazuha-san comes here almost every day just to see you, isn't that sweet?"
"Fine, I am planning to ask her tonight, happy?"
"Very."
"Anyway, are you going to firework festival Shin-chan?"
"I don't know, I think Ran-nee is going to ask me to go together but I am not sure."
"How about going with me tomorrow?"
"Are you sure you are not going to Sera-nee? Bet she'll be delighted to go with you."
"Nope, I really want to go with you Shin-chan."
"Real smooth Kaito-kun."
"Finally."
"Shush Heiji-kun, so?"
"Sure, I will go with you tommo-"
"It sounds like your pretty little crush is needed at home."
"Not so loud, he'll hear you."
"He's on the phone."
"Better be careful than sorry."
"You are going to tell him anyway, does it really matter?"
"Not really, but do you think he'll say yes?"
"You will get yourself a boyfriend, don't worry."
"Guys, I need to go home."
"I'll come with you, we're still going tomorrow?"
"Of course we are"
"I'll pick you up at six."
"Heiji-san, thanks for everything."
"Yeah, we were in your care for almost three months."
"Stop that, we all know Azusa-san won't let you guys go, you bring new female customers after all."
"I have no say in that, do i?"
"You can't say no to Azusa-chan."
"Welcome to the house, part-timers."
"Oh well, we should go now."
"See you soon Heiji-kun."
"Good luck."
-87-
"That was fun, we should do this more often."
"Too bad we can't really see the firework clearly."
"And whose fault we didn't get the nice spot exactly?"
"I admitted it already, sorry I was late picking you up."
"What did you do anyway, trying yukata?"
"Not exactly, but I bet you want to see me in yukata Shin-chan~"
"I kind of want to, so yeah."
"Huh?"
"Aw you are blushing, that's so cute."
"Wait, what?"
"I said I kind of want to see you in yukata."
"Haha, me too."
"I know that silly."
"…"
"Anyway, earlier you said that you want takoyaki, let's buy that."
"Uh, okay."
"And I saw a caramelized apple stand earlier; I'd like to try that too."
"Yeah, sure."
"You are awfully quiet, is something wrong?"
"Actually it is, can we stop walking for a moment? I have something to say to you."
"Did I do something to upset you Kaito-kun?"
"No, can you stop staring at me like that? You're making me nervous."
"Say it or I am going to stare even harder."
"Okay okay, you do know that summer break is almost over right, today might be the last day we can hang out together."
"You know that it's not true, we are going to work together again with Azusa-san after summer."
"But not as often, I can tell our regular schedule barely match with each other!"
"We can always make a plan to meet up, you are my friend and I like hanging out with you, it's not that complicated."
"Planning meet up, I like the sound of that."
"Just because we are not going to work together as often anymore doesn't mean I will cut you out of my life Kaito-kun, don't worry."
"I am not worried."
"Are you sure?"
"Eh, maybe a little bit."
"That's the only thing bothering you?"
"There is one more; I have a confession to make."
"Okay."
"…"
"I am waiting."
"I really need to get all of this out of my chest; you are not allowed to interrupt Shin-chan."
"Deal."
"Okay, great."
"…"
"I think I like you, no, I love you, I am in love with you. I am also asking you to be my lover right now, I am not pressuring to answering right here right now but I would really appreciate if you answer me now because if you are not I will go home sad, and I will remaking my plan all over again, and probably regretting confessing to you, but you said we can still be friends but that's before I confess to you, and now I am not so sure anymore and I can't stop talking, just please answer me!"
"Huh?"
"I wasn't clear enough was I, I mean I like you in romantic way, I want to kiss you and want to cuddle you a lot, and sometimes I get jealous over Ran-chan even if I know she's not interested in you. And you probably wondering since when I feel all of this, you should totally tell me if you know because I don't even know myself, all I know is you are adorable and cool at the same time and my eyes begin to drawn to you all the time, and I start to feel all warm tingly and suddenly I am in love with y-"
"…"
"Oh wow, whoa."
"I've wanted to do that since the first week I knew you."
"I guess that's mean yes?"
"Yeah, yes, your answer is anything you want it to be as long as I can keep kissing you."
"Awesome."
"I also need you to lean on something before you lose your footing."
"I totally agree, God that feels so good."
"And Ran-nee? She's dating a med student right now; you don't need to be all jealous about her."
"But!"
"Nope, just stop worrying and enjoy what I am doing to you."
"Yeah, I will do that, please keep doing whatever you are doing to my body right now."
"Good boy."
"Ah!"
"…"
"Wait, wait!"
"No."
"Wait a minute!"
"Gee, no need to shove me Kaito-kun, I thought we both agree this touching thing is nice!"
"It is, we should do it more often, but I need to ask something!"
"You are postponing my fun, be quick."
"You said that you want to do all of these since the first week you met me."
"Yes."
"But you never said anything to my advances; I thought I was just friend to you!"
"Contrary to popular belief Kaito-kun, I am well aware of your crush on me."
"What?"
"But I prefer to play innocent, now can we continue what we were doing?"
-88-
"You look disheveled, happily disheveled. "
"What's with the grin? And you wouldn't believe even if I told you what just happened."
"Did it have something to do with your 'Plan of Attack: Getting Shin-chan to Agree Dating Me' that I found in your laptop? Did it work exactly like your plan?"
"I put three different kinds of code in that! How do you even open my laptop?"
"I am a magician Kaito; you shouldn't even try to hide something from me."
"Gee, thanks for that Dad. And no, it didn't go exactly like that, it went even better."
"Congratulation is in order then, takes a good care of that boy Kaito."
"I will, I guess Mom is the only one left from the surprise huh."
"Are you kidding? She was so excited about how she should congratulate you in the morning."
"Ha ha, I give up, I am going to sleep."
"I still see a smile."
"Good night, Dad"
-x-x-x-
"After midnight? Really?"
"Leave me alone Mom, I am too tired right now."
"Oh come on, details! It's your long awaited date after all~"
"I am not a girl Mom."
"Fine, I am going to bother Chikage-san so early tomorrow for details!"
"You should totally do that, I am going to sleep."
"And I was waiting for Shin too, so sad."
"One more thing, thank you for making me works at Tasty Treat."
-100-
"Your shift is about to start Shinichi-kun."
"Okay."
"Well, someone looks happy."
"I am happy."
"Finally got him all to yourself?"
"Yep, he confessed when we were in firework festival."
"Tired of playing it cool aren't you?"
"Not really, but I want his ridiculous acts to stop."
"Lies, you like them. That's why you were playing oblivious in the first time."
"How true, I really can't lie to you."
"You can't if you tell me everything he did to you, every single day."
"At least you won't hear my whining anymore now."
"He is your first lover Shinichi-kun, it's just going to be worse."
"Apology in advance"
"Why is he suddenly eating vanilla ice cream anyway? I thought he likes the chocolate one."
"Good for me tough, he is going to taste delicious."
"Wow, too much information there."
"You have way too much information on my love life anyway."
"Still shouldn't have said that."
"What can I say Ran-nee? I really like vanilla, and he makes it even better.
