Akira found himself heading towards Just Desserts. He'd just gotten off of work, an early shift at The Joker. He usually worked later hours but, during the weekends at least, he took whatever shift they needed him to take. Now and then, he'd even work two shifts, rather than just the one. Today, though, he had only been needed for one shift. And he was okay with that, even though it left him with nothing to do afterwards.

The young man was still dressed in his black trousers, lavender dress shirt, and violet tie. The only thing different about his appearance right now and when he was at work was the apron that he was no longer sporting. Well, that and he'd taken off his glasses upon leaving the dance club. And of course, like usual, he had his shoulder bag with him. It's what was currently holding his school books, along with various other items. Like his iPod. And his cell was in the side pouch.

Walking along the side of the round, in route to the ice cream parlor, he'd pause now and then to have a quick word with someone he knew or someone that he saw frequently. He even stopped to help someone with a few boxes and then, once the boxes were inside of the building, he helped the store owner put away some of the heavier items. And once that was finished, he'd continued on his way.

In all honesty, he wasn't sure why he was heading towards Just Desserts in the first place. He'd started out with no particular destination in mind. But here he was, standing just outside of the doors. Now that he was there, though, he was craving something sweet. And he knew just what would satisfy him. A sundae. Ice cream, brownie, hot fudge. Whipped cream, strawberries, more hot fudge. Yeah, a sundae would do quite nicely.

Stepping inside, he moved to the counter and placed his order before looking around for a place to sit. It was a busy day for the parlor, so there were only a few open tables. He didn't really care much for sitting all by himself though. He much preferred having some company. And it seemed he was pretty lucky, too, because there was a booth with only a single occupant. So that's where he told the waitress he'd be.

He walked over and sat down, a grin finding it's way onto his face. He propped himself up, chin in his palm and elbow on the table. He looked over the guy sitting across the table, figuring the two of them were roughly the same age. Now, he had a pretty good memory when it came to faces and names but he didn't recall having seen this guy before.

"So. You here alone?" He tilted his head a little bit, "The names Akira Saito. Gotta name I can call ya?"

Akira couldn't really see the other boys face very well, not at first anyway. And he wasn't sure that the other boy could hear him, either, what with the ear buds in his ears. But the brunet pulled out one of the ear buds and looked up at him so, he figured, the boy had heard him. Or, at the very least, the boy had noticed him sitting down at the booth. Either way, the could definitely hear him when he introduced himself.

Of course, like with what happened after most introductions, the boy introduced himself. Zahir Ketto. A name that sounded vaguely familiar to the twenty-one year old, though he knew he'd never met the boy before. Maybe he'd heard the name at school? That certainly seemed likely. There were quite a few people that attended Kingdom University whose names he'd heard over the last two, working on three, years. Of course, he hadn't met them all.

But here was another he could add to his collection of names and faces. The name was already saved to his memory and the face would soon follow. "Good to meet you, Zahir Ketto. It's a nice day, yeah?" His grin never slipped up, it was always in place unless he was really unhappy or he was smirking. The former was pretty rare, since he was hardly ever in a bad mood of any kind. Smirking, on the other hand, was something he did pretty often.

Relaxing in the booth, he glanced around the parlor as he answered the question that was directed at him. "You're right, I did just get off work. I'm a bartender at The Joker. You should drop by sometime." He turned to look back at Zahir, grin ever present upon his lips. The grin was just as much from chatting with someone new as it was talking about where he worked. He loved his job, as silly as that may sound to some people. He had fun, met new people, talked with the regular customers, and got his homework done. All while making some money.

"Oh, lookie here. I take it that there is yours than?" He gave the waitress a smile as he took his sundae from the tray. Taking the spoon she offered, he stuck it in his ice cream before telling her that he didn't need anything else. Once she was done serving Zahir his ice cream, she left their booth and continued about her business. Once she was gone, Akira's attention went right back to Zahir. And his sundae too, of course. He took a bite and waited for a reply.


NOTES; I'll try not to take so long from now on.
