Not a Phase ⛅️ [Tenya Iida Fanfic]

"How does he know that I have night shifts?!
Umeda whispered furiously at you.

She was bending down as she held a waitress tray vertically, covering your and her faces as she frowned in frustration.

"I mean, I know Aoki knows I work here
but he doesn't know when I work!"
She added.

"I told him."
You gave a devilish smile while whispering back to your freaked out friend.

"_____. Once my shift is over,
I am going to kill you."
She murmured.

"Sure, I think I have some time in my schedule for that."
You muttered back while looking at your finger nails.
"My nails look sucky, y'think I should get a manicure?"

"I don't care about your nails! Help me with Aoki!"
She complained.

"No way, I'm here to watch!
Entertain your only audience Umeda."
You laughed.

Umeda glimpsed over to Aoki
who was waiting at his table all by himself.

She looked back at you.
"Okay listen! If you help me deal with Aoki, we can go get manicures together. Sound good?"

"Pedicures too?"

"Yeah yeah,
anything you want as long as you help me!"

"Sure!"
You lightened up.

"Okay, so what do I do?"

"My advice is to just go take his order
and ask him why he's here. That's all!"

"Seriously?! That blunt?"

"Yeah, get straight to the point so you won't bore him! And hurry before your break's over."

Umeda hurriedly checked her watch, in 28 seconds her break was going to be over and her crush was at a table, waiting for a waitress to take his order.

"Okay fine I will! But only if you
promise to make up with- with your boyfriend!"

"Oh...that's random. But sure I...I guess."
You mumbled unsurely.

"Good."
Umeda sighed.
"I'm killing two birds with one stone."

Umeda stood up straight,
straightened and dusted her uniform before she took a deep breath.

"I can't believe I'm doing this."
She muttered to herself.

"You can do it!"
You mouthed with two thumbs up.

Umeda smiled at you while nodding her head.

She then hesitantly walked over to Aoki's table.
You smiled, knowing fully well that Aoki was going to be Umeda's soon-to-be boyfriend.

He even asked you for advice; he's had a crush on her for weeks.

You smiled as the two chatted with flustered faces. After a minute or so, you saw a blushing Umeda with her legs shaking.
