Can't See Eye-to-Eye[Open/Luci]

[MI"SORA" HANABI]

And I said that the coffee was crap, I never said anything about the souffle. Weren't you paying attention?"[./i]

Sora simply smiled as he coyly replied in response, "Terribly sorry, sir, but I do believe that is your own fault. After all, you didn't exactly specify what it was you didn't like." And it was true. Angelus didn't specify what it was he wanted replaced. Then again, he wasn't exactly asking for it either. However, as long as he was in uniform 'the customer is always right'. Though it doesn't mean he scored any points on his end. As far as Sora could see, it was him 3, Angelus, zilch.

"So you bothered the cook for nothing. Such a shame."

"Well, I wouldn't say I did. You're the one who ordered the food after all." As the time went on, Sora had come to realize who this man was. Angelus Kusanagi; the one teacher that he had to admit, purely hated out of all the teachers back at school. And it was for the very reason that the man kept trying to play out right now; belittling every student he seemed to come across. There was something Sora could never figure out, and that's why Angelus always tried everything in his power to keep the other students under his thumb, and in the worst ways.

As for the cross relationship between Sora and the man? It was simply because he seemed to be the only boy in the whole school who acted out against him. Wouldn't be surprising if Kusanagi was trying to do this as some act of revenge. Even when the man had threatened him at some points, he always managed to keep his cool, despite his usual brash and aggressive self. But that's because in a way, as much as he hated to admit it, the man was a lot like he was now. And it was one of the many reasons why Sora held himself in contempt for so many things.

"Anything else, huh? I'll have the white chocolate mousse. No whipped topping, and extra raspberries."

"My, such expensive tastes. Are you sure you can afford that?", he asked with a bit of a sly smile. It wasn't so much price that Sora was hinting at, more-so one of the few things he said that he remembered sticking to Kusanagi like glue. Whenever Sora mentioned 'expensive tastes', it was an indirect way of calling the teacher out. In another form of speaking, he meant 'Are you sure you deserve that?' "Well, no matter. You are a guest after all, and I am in fact obligated to treat you to whatever it is you please."

It was funny...as Sora walked off to request the man's mousse, he couldn't help but smile more and more. As much as he surely hated the man's guts, he couldn't bring himself to get angry...was that a good thing? Considering that it was a busy day, and he certainly had the majority of the guests' favor on his part, he really didn't seem to mind. Remembering all the times he'd pissed off Kusanagi, practically embarrassing him in front of his class was...well, laughable! Maybe if the guy came around more often, he'd get to nitpick at him more than the other thought he could.

Coming back to reality, he'd bring back the dessert as Angelus had requested; no whipped topping, and extra raspberries, setting it down before the other. [dark-blue]"There we are. A rich white chocolate mousse, no whipped topping, and extra raspberries."[/color], he would say, taking a clean spoon from the pocket of his apron and setting it within the delectable concoction. Afterward, he'd give a slight bow and start his way back. "Please, do enjoy yourself, sir. If you'll excuse me, I must attend to other guests now. Do let me know should anything arise."

[/size][STYLE=height: 300px;overflow:auto;padding:4px 4px 4px;background-color:#3399FF;]The temptation to smack Angelus on the back of the head grew. It was as if with each passing moment he wanted to irritate Sora further. Of course that was just like Angelus to do something without thinking of the consequences. He had to bite his tongue and not step in. This would be called training for Sora. What to do when dealing with a man who has nothing better to do but make his life miserable. And might also be on that thing known as the man period. He wouldn't say that though when it was not his place to do so. 'I ..have nothing to say. but you are teaching Sora.' Now if his young student could handle him long enough and not lose it. Then this would be a good thing for them both.

Standing back to the be the one observing had never been the plan before. A teacher walking in here now would only cause more chaos. "I hope he doesn't plan to make me pay." He wouldn't if it happened again he would take a whip to Angelus and make him do it alone. Even teachers had things to learn as much as they probably didn't think so. Luciano wouldn't be afraid to teach him a few lessons before he left this Cafe. All personal feelings emotionally and physically would be shoved aside.

Dealing with the job always had to come first no matter how much neither of them wanted it. "That's my boy." He muttered as he watched Sora handle this. While he knew the boy could snap any moment he seemed to be handling it all pretty well. Till Angelus pushed the wrong buttons if he ever figured out what those were. Now all he would be able to hope was Angelus would be done.

And they could work on other things. He still had to show that man a thing or two after work. One did not get off lightly coming in to just cause problems.[/style]

[ANGELUS KUSANAGI]

"My, such expensive tastes. Are you sure you can afford that?"

Angelus rolled his eyes. They have been in a tug a war ever since when they first met last year in his class. It was something that each liked to do, pushed each other buttons. As if almost a battle of wills. And right now it is no different. That 'expensive tastes' crap was part of his plan to get him riled up enough to get him kicked out. "If I couldn't afford it then I wouldn't have ordered, or do you not have any common sense in that brain of yours?"

As much as he knew that it was rare that he got on Sora's nerves. He liked that battle of wits that the kid gave him. Sora was probably the only one who truly had the balls to stand up and fight back against him. It was a nice change of pace. It was a nice treat to meet up with his old student in a place like this. Now he was certain he wasn't going to get bored. And who knows how good can things get.

"There we are. A rich white chocolate mousse, no whipped topping, and extra raspberries."

"Finally." Angelus took the spoon and started to eat some of it. He could taste the light flavor of the chocolate mousse. He guessed that it would do. Maybe if he would bring Daiki and Ryuu here and punishment/treat. The sweets weren't crap and how those two had big sweet tooth then they would enjoy this stuff more than him. "Not bad."

Please, do enjoy yourself, sir. If you'll excuse me, I must attend to other guests now. Do let me know should anything arise."

"Get to work." Angelus waved dismissively, his eyes were focused on Luciano and how he was moving. If the bastard even looked ill then he was going to go to the manager and give him a piece of his mind. Though he should chew out Luciano for this. The man better hope not to slip up or there will be hell to pay.

[MI"SORA" HANABI]

Sora could hear the man calling after him, doing his best to seem as though he had the upper hand in their little battle of mentality. However, he knew it too true as well as Kusanagi, that they were practically equally matched. It was rare for either of them to get on each other's nerves, even if they didn't admit it upfront. However, it was perfectly fine, so long as they didn't deliberately try anything stupid on each other. He remembered the one time where they actually did break out into a fight on school campus. Nearly cost Sora his education, and Angelus his job. Was actually pretty funny at the time, considering how rage-a-holic the man was during that event.

But getting back on track, the blue-haired teen would go back about his business, tending to the many guests and cleaning up after them as they left. Things were starting to slow down bit by bit, giving him a bit more peace of mind to enjoy some quiet. It was a rather nice thing to listen to after the hustle and bustle of a busy days' work, so he couldn't help but smile to himself a bit as he was wiping down the tables one after the other, being sure to give them a nice polished sheen.

However, another thing came to mind as he looked over to his Senpai Luciano. He too had been taking notice of just how tired the black haired man seemed, those black rings under the eyes not helping the case any. When he was certain he had a clear shot to back off a bit, he'd wander over to the man in question, tapping his shoulder to get his attention. "Luciano-senpai? Is everything alright with you?", he would ask, soon clearing his throat with a slight blush, rather embarrassed about how he just opened the conversation.

"I-I mean...n-not like I really care...but...you're not gonna be able to get work done as well if you don't take better care of yourself. Can't be having a tired man on the job gettin' in my way, ya know.." It was awkward for Sora because Luciano was the only man he liked working with, and actually kind of liked his company. But he didn't want the other to think he was coming on to him or anything, hell no! He actually did kind of care about the guy's health, and it wouldn't be beneficial to the cafe if one of the best workers aside from himself randomly keeled over from sickness, now would it?

"D-don't mean to sound like a nag, but it's in your best interest...", he would say glancing around the establishment, soon passing the slightest of smirks and patting the other on the shoulder. "Things are starting to die down now. Why don't you take the rest of the night off. You and I both know the dinner shift is a cake walk, and there will be at least one other coming in later tonight. I got this covered."

[/size][STYLE=height: 300px;overflow:auto;padding:4px 4px 4px;background-color:#3399FF;]The constant fight between those two was so hard to ignore. While he would not intervene he couldn't help getting annoyed. A place of business did not have time for matters such as these. But with Angelus he wouldn't even begin to question why he didn't get that. He huffed his hand pressed against his forehead as he scribbled down orders in the book. Keeping tracking of which customers had been taken care of already. He tried to ignore the want to scratch Angelus's name off and get Sora to throw him out. All he could hope was there was more to this then just Angelus being a brat.

Then again, he knew this was just how Angelus was and nothing could change that. Little improvement could have been made even if he hit him. Luciano sighed dropping the pen down again as he walked to pick up some dishes up off a table. "You can't be nice for two seconds can you?" Already he knew that was wrong because had it been on other circumstances. But here right now it was like Angelus only had his mind focused on trolling. Other then making sure Luciano didn't get any work done. Though as the boss he should have already thrown him out. He stepped back turning his attention to Sora. The kid tapped him on the shoulder for a reason but what did he want.

"Hm Why do you ask Sora? Everything's fine just feeling a little out of it today.." He blinked at the sight of the blush on Sora's face. What was that about? He knew the boy hardly cared about others very much but that still made it awkward again. Did he really look that sick? He felt tired but that was about it. "..I guess a little rest wouldn't hurt. But I can't leave you working alone." Stubborn to the core that was Luciano. Even if he felt sick enough to pass out he wouldn't have given up because he just never wanted to. "..but it's just you out here." While he knew they would be fine he didn't want to do that. There was a reason he happened to be the manager.

Or at least one of the ones in charge. He knew the other male had a point but it didn't mean he liked it. "I guess so..." He paused and gave a small sigh. What was going to happen next if he left?

Or at least stopped working...he had to get paid too. Even if Sora and Angelus said he should stop working.[/style]

[ANGELUS KUSANAGI]

As Angelus finished the last of his white chocolate mousse he thought back at one of the few times that he and Sora got to the extremes and actually resorted to fists. It was really funny now that he thought about it and the stupidest thing was that he couldn't exactly remember how he got into that situation.

"You can't be nice for two seconds can you?"

He train of though was interrupted by Luciano looking at him with that look. The one that said, what the hell are you thinking. It could also mean 'Angelus stop with the bullshit.' Either way he didn't mind getting those looks from Luciano. "Oh Luci, I thought you knew me better than that." He grinned. "If I was nice then you might as well say that the sky was pink or that I slept with a guy."

Angelus didn't really have anything to do but to wait until Luciano got off work and they could go home together. He could go for one of those crepes. Besides he wanted Luciano to look after Ryuu and Daiki before he goes out.

Not that Luciano approves of what he is doing but he already made his choice. "Might as well order that crepe. Hey Kid." He waved to Sora, he wanted more food.

[MI"SORA" HANABI]

It didn't take much for Sora to tell that Luciano detested his suggestions of going home early. At that point, he knew no matter how much he would insist, Luciano would simply stay put until it was time to close. Oh well. He tried to be nice. It was the older man's choice whether or not he'd get more sleep like he would need. At any rate, his ears would ring with a familiar annoying voice, though not nearly as grating as before. Letting out a silent sigh, he'd put on his smile again and wander over to Angelus' table.

"Yes, sir? Is there anything else I can get you?" When it all came down to it, Sora didn't really mind Angelus' presence as much as he'd originally ground his teeth about. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this technically was just another typical day at work. The only difference was someone from school that he still held psychological warfare with. Honestly, it was more amusing than anything.

"Perhaps a round of dessert is what you're looking for? Might I suggest the Raspberry and Ricotta drizzled with chocolate sauce? You'd be surprised how well the blend of sweet, savory and light zing of sour go well together. If not, then please, request away." Then again, he was starting to feel sick on the inside with him playing kiss-up as much as he was tonight. 'O' Heavenly Father who I do not believe in...if you can hear the voice of this self-sanctioning mortal who beckons to you now...please...please smite me from this moment in time and let me never remember it.'

[/size][STYLE=height: 300px;overflow:auto;padding:4px 4px 4px;background-color:#3399FF;] Shaking his head the male paused and leaned against the counter. Maybe he should stop and just leave it up to Misora. There wasn't really that much that could go wrong. Knowing Misora could handle themselves at least a little bit, it was really Angelus he was worried about. How long would he hold back? Before it really got bad. Just to make Luciano's life worse so he would leave, or let him help. Pretty much part of his plan again it wouldn't surprise the male if that was true. Why people never gave him a break he just didn't know. It was like they wanted to make his life a living hell for no reason at all. And when they did they would make it like the only thing to do. Life's work or something like that. Truly it annoyed the black haired male but he wouldn't' say a word for now. Only stand back and watch them, see where this went.

'Tch so annoying. He probably is dragging me away from something. Explains why he came to my work.' Putting the tray down he would let Sora handle it. The break would be good enough for him and with business reaching its end. Well it only meant he could observe how well his student was learning. As the boss it was definitely something he had to do, he didn't take this job just to be near Angelus. No he had other reasons for it, quite a few at that if it even mattered at all. Which to these two they probably weren't thinking about what he was anyway.

"I do know you better then that. It still changes nothing you probably did sleep with a guy." Just shaking his head he motioned to Sora only saying he would leave this customer to him. Then they could just go home and the next shift would take over basically. If it worked out the way it was supposed he might even get Angelus off his back about this. He could go home, not eat and just sleep like he always did. That is after he watched his friend's little babies.

Part of him didn't wish to stop working but what choice did he have? Things weren't going to get easier if he just stood there doing nothing.[/style]
