Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
Shinji blinked for a moment. Why was Jae staring at him liek that? He tilted his head, then looked back down to his dessert, taking another bite. "Is something the matter?"
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
Had he been staring again? Probably. "...huh...? Oh...nothing...I'm sorry..." he answered softly, looking away from the other male. "...didn't mean to stare..." The hell was wrong with him today?

"It's alright, it doesn't bother me," the demon shrugged. He was used to being looked at, though it was a little different with Jae. He couldn't tell why, but so far Shinji liked having the younger man around. Though he just convinced himself it was because he wanted to spread the love of ice cream.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
JaeJoong simply nodded to acknowledge what Shinji had said. Just what was his problem? He usually didn't stare openly at anyone. If you looked wrong at someone here, there was a high chance of getting your ass handed to you, on a silver platter no less. It had happened once, and Jae had been a complete mess afterwards.

Shinji noticed that Jae was a little more on edge than before, he didn't understand why though. Nothing bad was going to happen in this place. It's an ice cream parlor for crying out loud. The demon sighed lightly and filled another spoon, this time with something else and held it out for JaeJoong. "Do you think you can handle things on your own now?"
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
He blinked, pulled out of his thoughts by Shinji speaking. "...I should be fine," he answered, eating the offered ice cream. It wasn't chocolate, but it certainly was good. Jae wasn't paying attention when he ate it though, so he wasn't sure what kind it actually was.

Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
Since he seemed to like it, Shinji just kept feeding the ice cream to Jae. Sure he could eat a lot of ice cream, but even he had his limits. He would probably end up in a sugar coma with all of this if he did it on his own. Plus, he did have his weight he worried about. Even if he didn't eat much normal food, he figured too much ice cream might put him on the pudgy side, and that he didn't like the idea of. "Then it wouldn't be a problem if I left?"
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
Jae smiled, actually rather enjoying being fed the treat. A quick glance told him the bright ice cream was sherbert, which he intended to have again if he could. He frowned when Shinji mentioned leaving, however. "...well...not really...unless you have things you have to do..."

"...I don't actually," it was true. Shinji had cleared his schedule because he wanted to rest a little bit. He would be doing work at the club again the next day, but even then that was at night. "Is there a particular reason that you would like me to stay?" he was curious. Most people only wanted him around to take advantage of his hospitality. Which he actually didn't mind, it wasn't like he had anything else to spend it on. But for some reason he didn't think that was the case with Jae.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
He nodded slightly. "I guess...I like talking to you. And it would be lonely by myself," he said, biting his lip. JaeJoong didn't like admitting such things, but that was probably the only way he would get Shinji to stick around. Which was honestly all he wanted.

Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
The demon sat there blinking at Jae. That was definitely something he hadn't heard before, not since moving to the city. People didn't like just talking to him randomly. Actually, the only other person who ever said something like that to him...He shook his head, trying to rid it of thoughts of his previous lover. That was something that he really didn't need in mind at the moment. "Let's open then," he said hopping off the counter. He wasn't sure what else to do to distract himself, even if he was tired it would be better than feeling awkward or thinking about the past.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
He nodded again. "Alright," he said, "...uhm, what do you want me to do?" Jae tilted his head a bit, waiting patiently for Shinji to give him some sort of task to complete. He knew nothing about opening a store, obviously, so it was in his best interests as well as Shinji's to wait for an order or something.

"As people come in, serve them," he took the sign down, signaling that the store was now open. Walking back to where Jae stood, he took of his blazer and hung it behind the counter. "Also, help me eat some of this. I may be able to eat a lot, but this may still be too much for my stomach to handle at the moment," he rolled up the sleeves to his button up shirt and picked up the empty dishes that he had laid on the counter before, taking them into the small back room where the sink was and began washing them.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
JaeJoong smiled and nodded. "Alright," he said picking out one of the desserts made entirely of chocolate and eating it, waiting for people to start coming in. He was halfway done when they did start trickling into the parlor, and he began serving them, glad the register was simple to figure out on his own.

Shinji silently kept himself busy with the dishes for a while. He didn't like the hot water, but there was no other way to deal with them. When he finished, he came back out and leaned in the doorway for a moment watching JaeJoong. The other was doing well handling people, so he was happy about that. A few more people came in while he was busy helping someone, so Shinji decided to take care of them himself. He put on what felt like a smile and went to their aid, perfectly crafting the desserts they wanted before they went on their way.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
JaeJoong didn't even notice when Shinji came over to help him, only seeing he was there when he glanced up to hand something to a customer. He smiled, looking at the demon for a moment, then happily went back to work. Jae would admit, he really did like this job.

Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
As the last bits of people trickled out, Shinji let out a sigh. It had been years since he had been around so many people like that, and so many children. He would admit, he felt a bit more exhausted than before. But he did like helping out here, even if he was uncomfortable at times for various reasons. He almost felt like if it wasn't one thing, it was another between the guests and his new employee. He had almost run into the other a few times while working next to him, and he didn't know how to respond to his mistakes. He wasn't naturally clumsy, so it was strange for him. He was grateful that he didn't blush or sweat either. That would only make him feel worse about his composure.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
JaeJoong had just smiled when he and Shinji bumped into one another repeatedly, not minding the clumsiness. As the last person left, Jae made one more thing without being bid to do so. He filled a small bowl with chocolate ice cream, making a small flower on top of it from the peanut butter and chocolate chip ice cream in front of him. He drizzled all of it with hot fudge, putting a small amount of chocolate sprinkles on it, then turned and held the finished product out to Shinji.

Shining stood there for a moment before starting clean the counter. He figured it would be best to do so now so they could each move on with their evenings. When he turned around with some dishes in his hands, his tired eyes were met with the dessert that Jae had prepared. "What's that for?" His eyebrow rose just slight.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
"It's for you, of course," he answered, smiling slightly. He wasn't sure why he had made it, but he had. If it was to thank Shinji for giving him a real job or not, Jae didn't know. But he figured the extra ice cream would at least help the other man get home that night.

"Ah..." Shinji stared at the treat. He was a bit surprised at Jae's act, but thought it was sweet regardless. The demon wasn't actually hungry, but maybe he had somehow given the young man the impression he was. Either way, he took the small bowl from Hard, bowing his head slightly in thanks out of formal habits. "If you'd like something yourself, go right ahead. When we finish cleaning, I'll give you a ride home," the offer slipped out without the seminar even thinking about it. He couldn't say he minded told much though. It wasn't like the task would be a hassle for Shinji.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
He smiled in response, finishing cleaning up while Shinji ate the small dessert. He shook his head to the suggestion of eating, though. He wasn't hungry at all. So he went back to cleaning so Shinji wouldn't have to do anything else. "...you don't have to..." he said quietly, referring to Shinji's offer to take him home.

Shinji ate slowly, watching Jae going back and forth cleaning. "It isn't a problem to take you home. You said you lived on the edge of the city, correct? It's a little far from here," why was he pushing this? The demon really had no idea why he wanted to take him home. He wanted to think it was just a friendly gesture as his new employer.
Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
"...well...yeah..." he mumbled, sighing. "...alright. Thank you, Shinji..." JaeJoong smiled a little, giving a slight bow of thanks to the older man. He did like walking, but it wasn't the best outside, at least to him.

Re: Chocolate Flowers | Shinji [Finished]
"No need to thank me, you did well today," Shinji's voice held an unintentional dismissive tone to it as he set his now empty bowl down. He figured before he forgets, he should do a count of the register. It had been a long time since he had to do such things himself. He emptied it out and filled out the necessary books for records. He would just move the data to his computer later on at home when he once again couldn't sleep. After filling everything out, he separated a certain amount of the money out, and put it into two separate envelopes. One he put into his blazer pocket to put into a safe when he bought one, the other, he handed to JaeJoong.
