Nagito's POV

   Ugh my head hurts but not really. I open my eyes and slowly sit up. Where am I? I look around the room both Ichigo~chan and Hinata~kun were next to me, but on opposite sides. I stare at Hinata~kun closely. His hair looks soft, and I wonder what happens if I touch his ahoge.

    I reach my hand towards his ahoge. A hands stops me. "Don't touch the ahoge". "Hinata~kun?", "You're awake?" I asked. Silence filled the air. Of course he isn't. I slouch back on the bed. What am I going to do now? "Ngh, what time is it?", "Oh hey Ko" Ichigo~chan says. "Hello" I say with a smile.

   She yawns, "Are you feeling better?". "Yeah, I have a small headache but that's it" I tell her. "Good". She looks over to Hinata~kun. "He's still sleep huh?". "Yeah, though I sworn he was awake" I say. "You tried to touch his ahoge didn't you?" She asks giggling. "Yeah how did you-".

   "How rude to talk about someone right here". "Ah! Sorry Hinata~kun!" I apologized. "It's fine, just don't try to grab my ahoge again" he says getting up. "Huh?!", "How did you know?!" I yelled. "I wasn't sleep dumbass" he says sternly. "Don't be a jackass Haji" Ichigo chan scolded.

   He storms out the room. "What's his problem now?" I asked her. "Still angry you got hurt" she responds. "Oh, also what are we doing today?" I asked. She smirks at me. Something tells me it's not good. I groaned.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

   "So where are we going again?" I asked, walking down the sidewalk. "Don't ask any questions, it's in the name of hope remember?" She says. "Yeah, yeah I know, but this walk is taken forever" I groaned. "We're right here Jesus Faist" she says.

    I look at side the pink building. "Ichigo~chan, this a maid cafe" I stated. "Yeah no shit, let's go in" she says walking in. I sigh, and walk in. "Why are we here?" I whispered. "To get a job here" she replies annoyed. "I don't need one" I say. "I know, I don't need one either, I thought I'd be fun for us to do together" she says.

   "What does this have to do with hope?". She turns to me, "The fact you get to make other people smile, even if it's in the wrong way" she says. I groan, "I do want people to feel hope, but I wished you asked me about it" I say. Her face lights up, "You'll really do it with me?". I chuckle at her enthusiasm.

   "Yes of couse" I say. She smile brightens even more, "Great let's go talk to the boss!", "This cafe is new so we'll be the only ones". Wait what? "Um we'll be the only ones?" I asked. "Yeah! Well maybe" she says. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to this.

   "Hello? Is someone here?" She calls out. A tall man steps out from the back. His aura seems powerful. "Oh hi there!", "What brings you guys here?". I stood there dumbfounded. His voice was not what I expected. Ichigo chan speaks up first, "We came here for jobs!".

   "Oh". He looks at me. "This was originally supposed to be all girls but we can make an exception" he says with a smile. I- ok, he could of said no but didn't. "I'm glad you two stepped into my cafe, I was worried no one was going to sign up for the work" he says.

   "You just opened up like a week ago correct?" She asks him. "Yes, very attentive I see", "Nobody has came in this past week, I'm so glad you guys came in" the man says crying. "Oh goodness me, I'm sorry my name is Elijah Willson, you can call me Mr.Willson" he says.

   I finally speak up, "Are you ok sir?". "Yes I'm just incredibly happy, I'd thought my business would be shut down, since I already had a warning" he explained. "We'll work incredibly hard, that is if we get the job" I say a bit shyly. "Of course you guys get the job, now that I have you guys, I need to attract customers" he says.

   "Don't worry sir, please leave it to me" Ichigo~chan says with a soft smile. "Are you sure, I can handle it myself". "No, it's our gratitude for hiring us" she says. He starts crying again. "Young kids these days are so nice". That's a funny joke. "When can we start working?" She asks.

   "Tomorrow if you can" he says. She looks to me. "I'm free most of the time anyways" I say. "Great, let me show you guys around and the basics" he says. "Also, we only have maid outfits". My whole face drops. Great. Ichigo~chan giggles. I glare at her. Remember hope, I'm doing this for hope.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

   I sigh after helping setting up everything. So apparently Ichigo~chan told people about the cafe on social media and some people will come in tomorrow. While I'm sorta excited, I'm nervous as hell. "So our boss is nice". I glare at her. "What?" She asks giggling. I groan, "For hope, I'm doing this for hope" I muttered.

   "Aww, that's sweet" she says. "Please leave me alone Ichigo~chan". "Fine". The whole walk after that was quiet. "Look I'm sorry Ko". "It's fine Ichigo chan, I just wanted some peace and quiet", "I haven't had that recently" I explained. "I understand, you're not use to having friends", "Friends are usually loud together and act stupid" she says.

   "Yeah, I can't believe people wanted to be friends with trash" I say. "The hell have I said about calling yourself trash?". "Huh? Ichigo~chan you never said anything!" I said confused. "That wasn't me Ko". "How about you guys turn around". So we did and- "Hinata~kun?!", "What are you doing here" I yelled.

   He pinned me to a near by wall. I blush and look down. "Look at me" he growled. I look over to Ichigo chan for help. She looks away. Wow! And here I thought I was supposed to depend on her! "Hello? I said look at me" he says, grabbing my chin to make me look at him. I blush even more.

"W-what?" I stuttered. He only stared at me for a while. "Move, Hinata kun" I said, trying to push him. He grabs both of my hands with one of his and pulls me closer to him. "Are you ok, from earlier I mean" he asks. "Yes but did you have to ask me in such an embarrassing way?" I asked nervously.

He looks confused, "Embarrassing?", "This is payback for ignoring me". I take my hands out of his grip and push him. "Hmph guys these days are jerks" I mumbled to myself walking home.

Author's note: Finally! I got to the chapter I was most excited for! Though Maid!Komaeda hasn't happen yet but it will :3 Also heads up, Nagito and Chiaki will be out of character as you can see. Nagi is more relatable.
