Sweet Memories~

First topic message reminder :

A candy shop with any kind of sweet you can possible imagine and some you can't. Everything that comes from the shop is delicious and absolutely delectable. Hanatsu runs this shop. She has two helpers named Rin and Sala. They manage the store when Hanatsu isn't around.

Spoiler:

*Notices someone else walk into the store but doesn't turn around. Ami hands Sala the money with a smile.*
Here you go.

Atsui blinked at the overly enthusiastic girl, "Um... no thanks, I'll just look for something I'd like..." he said plainly, not able to match the girl's energy. He looked around and found a small bundle of 7 lollipops with a grin. He went back to the energetic girl whose name he had never received and gestured to them, "How much are these?" his large ears lifted a little, happy to find his favorite brand of cherry lollipops here.

*Sala takes the money with a nod. She puts the marshmallows and the receipt in a cue little bad and hands it to the girl*
color=violet]Thank you for your purchase! We hope you return to Sweet Memories again soon![/color]

*Rin tilts her head to the lollipops and looks back to him with a smile*
$2.00 Mister! Oh, my name is Rin if you decide you are in need of assistance~

*laughs and takes the bag*
You're welcome. And thank you.
*nods at Shinzume.*
Come on, pooch. Let's go.

He nodded, "Thank you, Rin-chan~" he smiled and brought the lollipops to the front counter to pay, taking out two dollars and handing it to the cashier.

*Sala and Rin both wave goodbye to the girl. *
You're welcome, Mister!
*Sala giggles and takes the money, poking a few buttons on the register and shoving the money in some drawer. She rips the receipt off of the machine and puts it in a small bag along with the candy*
Thank you for your purchase here at Sweet Memories! We hope you visit again!
*The bell rings as Hanatsu walks in. Both girls wave at their Mistress, who strolls over to nod a greeting at the boy.*
Hello there...~

Atsui lifted his ears a little, "Eh? Hello." he smiled politely at the third girl, taking his small bag. "Ah... and by the way..." he looked back at Rin, "I don't like being called Mister. My name is Atsui Shinnyuu." he chuckled a little. 'I know I'm young... but being called Mister kinda makes me feel old...'

*Hanatsu nods and smiles a smile much like her two little storekeepers*
I am the owner of this store. Sala and Rin weren't too irritating for you, Atsui?
*She blinks*
Haven't I met him before?
*Both of them chime together*
We tried not to be, Hanatsu-sama

He laughed a little, "Nah, they weren't irritating. It's a little tiring to keep up with them though, they're so energetic!" he chuckled, "Oh well, I guess I'll be like that too after I get some sleep. I've been losing sleep lately." he looked at Hanatsu, "You look familiar. Did we meet before this...?" he frowned and tilted his head, "I don't mean to offend you if you are... but I haven't been out much so I don't remember many people."

*Hanatsu chuckles and nods*
Yes, they are just bundles of energy. I think it's being around all this candy.
*She looks at the two in question*
You can go to the back now
Yes, Hanatsu-sama!~
*They scurry off to eat candy in the back rooms. Hanatsu smiles before facing Atsui again*
I believe we have, though it was quite a short acquaintance. I'm not offended at all that you don't remember me. In fact, I marvel that you do

He shrugged, "I remember faces well, I guess." he sighed, "But I've probably changed a bit since meeting you if I don't remember you. A lot has happened." he smiled.

A lot, eh? Perhaps so. I hope the changes were good, though it seems like they were if the expression on your face is any indication
*She smiles in a strangely parental fashion*

He chuckled a little, "Yeah, well I guess that's what love does to a person." he smiled brightly, "For the first time in my life I feel like everything's right, it's nice." he wiggled his tail happily. "Anything interesting in your life?"

*Hanatsu shakes her head*
Nope. Not much at all. I just take walk around campus and take care of the shop. I haven't met many people at all. In fact, other than the people who come to my shop, I see no one...
*She sighs*
And I miss other people...

He chuckled, "Well then go find them~" he grinned, "People are everywhere and it's apparently very easy to make friends!" his tail wiggled happily.

*Hanatsu smiles*
I wish...But it seems that I'm very bad at finding other people...
How adorable
He's...cute...
Hmm...We haven't come into agreement in a long time, but yes

He chuckled, "Well, maybe next time I come here I can bring my roommates, then you can meet three more people." he smiled. He lifted his ears and looked to the back when he heard some talking and laughed a little, "I dunno what you twi are talking about back there, but rabbits have good hearing just to let you know." he smiled.

*The two girls back there squeal, giggling some more. Rin shouts outside*
You didn't hear anything from us!
*Hanatsu sweatdrops and chuckles*
That would be very nice of you, Atsui-kun. I would love to meet you roommates. I apologize for the childish behavior of my two little managers.

He chuckled, "Doesn't matter, if they got too close then my boyfriend wouldn't like it anyway." he shrugged and smiled, "I'll be sure to bring him, as well as my other two roommates along sometime then~!"

Boyfriend? Eh, who am I to judge?
*Hanatsu smiles and nods*
Alright then! I'll be expecting that visit! It'll be so nice to meet more people. I sincerely thank you, Atsui-kun.
