Serendipity
-finding something good without looking for it
___________________
The shine was shining brightly with the gush of cold wind blowing around. Indistinct chatter from the people passing by your work place and other bustling stores were making a comfortable silence that you had been enjoying this entire time.
It was quite quiet today in the store as it wasn't really that time of the year where events were mostly being held. The orders were coming in normally but not really a lot to do.
You had been working on this same clothing store for the past six years where you mostly did the retail work and handmade crafts that people were requesting while a close friend and also co-owner of this shop with you did the managing and other stuff like that. It was a job you had enjoyed from the bottom of your heart and you couldn't see yourself retiring any time soon
As it is a clothing store, fabrics were of course going to be bought and all that but in your case, it was not. The store had their own fabrics for the store to make original patterns and designs. However though, some fabrics had not been used for a while so your co-owner, Ichika, thought of selling them to the public at a reasonable price as well as seeing this as a new product for the market.
The announcement was dropped just a few days ago and Yuki was already planning on not only checking out the fabrics but to also see if there were any possibilities of him having new clothing.
Taichi was already to tag along to the adventure as well as Azuma who wanted to check out the store for the first time. They were about to head out and do their thing before Banri stepped in and offered to come as he had nothing else to do.
So that was the list; Yuki, Taichi, Azuma and Banri. A group of people you wouldn't expect to be together but will also be surprised if they are. Azuma already offered to drive them there so the travel stuff were taken care of. Yuki had also just received the budget for the fabrics, making sure to battle it out with Sakyo first to have the most decent quality he could get and turn them into high fashion wear.
The car ride was silent and unbearably long before Banri started to play some music to ease up the unknown tension. Azuma then hummed quietly to the songs while driving as Yuki instructs Taichi about the costume making at the back. Banri was bobbing his head to the rhythm, just waiting to get there already.
After the painful car ride to your store, Banri basically yanked the door open to finally go outside. Yeah the store that wasn't the far away but the awkwardness made it feel like a few hundred years. Yuki and Azuma gracefully got out, making sure the car was in a good spot before eyeing the store.
You were currently by the counter, messing with the fabrics that you needed before actually going to the back where your office was basically at. The bell above the door chimed quietly, making you turn your attention where the customers were at. You saw a group of people you could recognise but can't really put a finger on it.
The group of people eyed the inside of the store before going to where something they found interesting was at. Two feminine looking men with another boy following behind then approached you, probably not knowing what to do.
"Hello uh...."
"Oh, call me Furuichi" You helped the very graceful yet struggling customer for a way to properly address you
"Well then, Furuichi-san, we were wondering if we could check out some of the fabrics you happen to be selling" The words rolled off of his tongue so smoothly and you found his voice very interesting and nice
"Our fabrics are still currently at the back as we don't know where to put them just yet. I could ask someone to show you around if you'd like" You smiled politely, an apologetic tone laced in your voice as you start to look for someone that is currently free.
"We'd like that" The customer grinned and turned his attention to the people he were with. He conversed with them once more before you found Akki, a worker here mostly for customer service. You called her in and told her about the current situation you were in
"Hello! My name is Akki, and you can come to me when you need something. My boss also told me about the fabrics you were wanting to take a look at so if you'd like we can head over there once you're done taking a look around" She excitedly smiled as it wasn't everyday she could help out some good looking customers.
Taichi tagged along Yuki as he found some cute accessories he could match with a few of his outfits and also for props. Azuma did his thing looking and was just looking around as other customers were oogling him from his beauty. Banri however was just doing Banri things, found a few earrings close to the ones he already had and thought of replacing them but didn't really interest himself in other stuff.
"Let's go" Yuki called, making Taichi perk his head up with Banri and Azuma walking over to them. They walked down a long corridor towards the back where the fabrics and your office were.
While they were walking around the main part of the store, you had already gone back to your work area and was currently measuring out the fabrics on the mannequin, adjusting some areas before stitching them together.
You had put up a "No Pictures" sign there as to not leak any work you were working on. The fabrics were on the other side of the room which was probably for the best and you just wished you had a bigger space for these things.
Yuki immediately saw the sign and made sure his phone stays in his purse out of respect. The others did the same shortly after now looking at the decently working and/or storage place
While you were working on your own thing, trying to get used to getting interrupted because of the fabric interested customers, Yuki couldn't help but gawk at the professionalism and talent for the needle work that you had.
Fingers trailing down the mannequins sides to trace the pattern and basic sewing tools around your body as you worked. He looks at the way you trace the patterns in and how you made the adjustments to make things as perfect as can be and how he saw this as a new technique he could do.
"Yuki-kun?" Taichi called out to the other boy who was still enticed by you. Taichi called out another time, this time getting Yuki's attention and asking him is he was okay
"I'm fine, let's check out the fabrics"
Yuki then strides to the fabrics at the other half of the room. He saw many possible patterns and designs for the costumes he was about to make. As the script was just made and the actors were still in the read through process, Yuki had the time of his life to make the costumes his heart desired.
He called out Akki to cut out yards of the fabric he had wanted and whilst doing so, Banri gave up and checked out the nearby park across the street where the car was. Taichi was waiting for the fabrics as he knew he would be the one to carry them back to the car. Azuma was being patient and let the workers do their thing as he watch in fascination by the sides.
You were now by the sewing machine as they cut up and sort the fabrics they wanted. You put in a appropriate needle for such work as you layout the fabric by the machine. As Yuki was still waiting he casted his eyes onto you again with eagerness to learn how a professional is doing it.
He was watching with keen eyes and open mind as you unknowingly did your thing. No notes or anything as you remember most of your work from memory. You were currently making a ball room kinda dress for a client's daughter that was going to have her birthday soon. It was one of your favourite dresses to make as it was very poofy and you managed to make the tool for it look like a cloud, making the people who saw it have that expression that it was floating.
By now, Akki was done with the fabric and handed them over to Taichi already. Azuma was grinning happily at the sight of a very interested Yuki. After much time of being held back by Yuki's fascination, Azuma's chuckles brought him back and hurriedly payed for the fabrics in embarrassement.
"Yo!" A voice called out, not too far away from them
"Banri!" Taichi called back as he handled the fabrics in hand. Banri saw how his younger friend struggled and helped him immediately by giving him a hand
"By the way, what took you so long?" He asked as he set down the fabrics at the back
"Oh let's just say that Yuki saw something that interested him" Azuma teased as he hopped on the driver's seat making Yuki flush a light pink. Banri didn't press onto the matter and just made his way next to Azuma in the car

"Welcome back guys! How'd it go?" As the door opened they were immediately greeted by Izumi who was eagerly waiting by there
"We got some nice fabrics and I think I'll be able to use them for the costumes." Yuki monotonously said ushering Taichi to bring the fabrics to his room
"I got some pretty accessories for you Izumi-chan. Oh and also, Yuki might've found an idol!" As Yuki was starting to walk away, Azuma began to gossip to Izumi about the happenings of today
"Oh? Who might that be?" She asked, finding herself interested in the topic of such a person that their very sassy Yuki might've idolised
"Well, they work as a seamstress at the store we went at. We get to see a little sneak peak while they were working and Yuki-chan was all sparkly eyes" He told her excitedly, exaggerating some parts here and there
"I believe their last name was Furuichi-san..." Azuma continued, only to mumble the last part of his sentence, realising what he was saying
"Wait Yuki, was the seamstress' name Furuichi?" He checked as he theorised in his head about all the possible outcomes for this
"Yeah I think so. If you're thinking about connecting them to that Money-grubbing Yakuza though, there are many people that can have the same name" He said turning his back for the final time to now head back to his room.
"Wait here Director-chan" He firmly squeezed her shoulders before starting his hunt for Sakyo. However, before he could even run a few feet, Izumi's information shut him down
"If you're looking for Sakyo-san, he's currently doing some work so he's not here.."
"That's quite unfortunate, I wanted to get some of those juicy details and gossip though." He said in an amused but sad tone, making Izumi chuckle and leave him alone for now
As the timing couldn't be anymore perfect, Sakoda came in the lobby where Izumi was just at and where Azuma is still thinking by his own
"Hey hey Mankai Comp!" He shouted a greeting to whoever was in the vicinity
"Sakoda-kun, perfect time!!" Azuma clapped loudly making Itaru and Hisoka in the room flinch in suprise at the sudden noises
"Azuma-san! Whatcha need?" He asked, turning down his volume a little bit to respect the other's silence
"Do you know any other Furuichi?" The sentence was so straightforward that Sakoda chuckled nervously before he got to comprehend what the other had just said
"You mean other than Boss??" He asked after a while of nervous laughing and keen staring from Azuma
"Exactly"
"Well uh... there's his mom, step dad and lil step sis but I don't think there's more?" He hesitantly said, racking his brains for more information he could have
"You sure there no more? Even like a cousin?" He pressed, eager to know more and juice out any information Sakoda could have
"Oh! Boss said something about a partner one day, but he didn't give any details" He shrugged now intimidated by the white haired man Infront of him. Azuma slumped slightly in defeat as he couldn't find out more. Thinking more into the matter, he smirked with hope as he raised his eyebrows and talked to himself, with Sakoda silently walking away
"He didn't really specify what kind of partner"
__________________
That same night, Sakyo didn't come back to the dorm as suspicious as that is. No one asked why, maybe because he had work but Azuma was really determined this time to know.
When he woke up, the first thing in his agenda was to go and have a talk with you. He did his daily stuff like cleaning himself up and getting breakfast, making sure to moisturise before heading out.
He didn't bring anyone with him as he didn't want to drag other people in the curiousity he had. He parked his car on the same spot he had out it yesterday before walking for the rest of the way.
You were cleaning up the space before you could open up and let some customers in. The closed glass doors making it hard for any noise to come through, so you were stuck there with a deafening silence by yourself. Some workers wouldn't come until later so you were just there
You could hear a door struggling to open as you thought of a way to do something with your time. You looked at where the sound was and saw the same man from yesterday, now knocking on the closed doors
You immediately walked to it and opened it as soon as you could. He stood there awkwardly but still remaining his cool exterior, you having the same feeling, except being the one whose emotions could be clearly seen
"Oh uh sir, we don't open until later... " You said with a smile you are forcing yourself to out on. If there was a hall of most embarrassing things to ever happen to you, this might be one in it.
"I'm just here to talk to you" He said bluntly, his calm demeanor passing onto you thus making you actually have a normal conversation
"Is it about the fabrics? The store policy might help you out" You said, searching his face for any kind of reactions to which you were left defeated
"No, actually..." He trailed off, going on his phone and scrolling through something that you didn't know about
"Do you know this man?" He asked holding up a picture of Sakyo that he miraculously found somewhere
"How do you have a picture of my husband?" You asked, analyzing the picture to make sure it actually was him. You slowly backed up inside the store, getting cautious over this mysterious man who showed up
"Don't worry Furuichi-san, I'm a friend of Sakyo-kun. I'm a part of the Mankai company" He smiled innocently that made you trust him a little bit more
"What's your name? And which troupe?" You interrogated giving him a small glare not exactly letting your guard down nor up at the moment.
"I'm Azuma Yukishiro from the Winter Troupe" He smiled holding out his hand slowly. You searched your brain for any kind of familiarity with him. Once you did, you shook his hand slightly and introduced yourself too
"Well then Yukishiro-san, I'm Y/N Furuichi. And yes I am Sakyo's partner, spouse or loved one, whatever you'd like" You smiled brightly at him, making him smile too.
You offered him a seat by the counter to have a small chat before he would go. You brought out two mugs of some of your favourite tea to have at work as you talked. You were both talking for a while, becoming immediate friends and even exchanged numbers for a possible meet up like this again. It was like old friends catching up
As you were laughing at a joke he had just smoothly made, the bell above the door chimed and you saw Sakyo aimlessly walking in, looking groggy in your eyes.
"Y/N, Yukishiro..?" He stopped in his tracks as he the both of you talking away.
"Sakyo!" You called, jumping from your seat to greet him with a hug. You held him in a hug position while Azuma was smugly smiling with Sakyo flushing red from the sudden affection
"I- uh...just wanted to say bye since I'm going to be staying at the dorms for a while" He said silently through his not so sneaky coughs.
"Sure go ahead. I'll probably be working for the most part too so I won't mind" You smiled as you backed away from his chest where you face was at, moments ago. You took in Sakyo's presence as you wouldn't be seeing each other again for a while because of a work filled schedule. He squeezed your left hand where your marriage ring was and held it for a while before turning to Azuma and giving him a glare. He gave him a silent warning as his hand fiddled with yours.
After a while of being there, you eventually had to say goodbye to him and he to you. You gave him a quick peck on the cheek as you knew he want a big fan of PDA and Azuma was there. You went back inside after showing them both out and cleaned the area from where you had a small tea time with what you had felt was a long time and close friend.
"Sakyo-kun, you thought you were sneaky not telling me about your wonderful partner" Azuma pouted in a teasing manner as they walked back to where their cars were
"Shut up Yukishiro. And we didn't keep it a secret, it was simply that no knew about it" He said opening his car door and shutting it immediately. Azuma was just there giggling to himself before making his way to his own car, a few feet away from Sakyo's and started his way home

"Yuki-kun!" Azuma greeted the boy who was chilling in the lounge with his sketches
"Azu, what do you want?" He asked, setting down his sketchpad to where his focus was
"Remember the seamstress Furuichi-san?" He asked, gushing at him to guess and teasing him with anticipation
"Yeah, how could I forget them, they had such a way with making clothe-*ehem*. Yes I do remember them.. why?" He coughed away his compliments as he asked
"Well, if you ever wanna learn from them or earn any advice, talk to Sakyo-kun about it" He said wiggling his eyebrows, glancing at Sakyo who had just entered the room only to walk away when he saw Azuma
"Okay and why is that?" Yuki asked 50/50 on the idea of the topic Azuma was implying
"Let's just say he had a little secret no one really knows about"

If I'm gunna be honest with you guys, I actually finished my work on Thursday night last week and decided to take the days after that for me to be lazy and all that.
I still have this week's work to do but I just got the sudden inspiration to post this thing. I also got into a drawing mood so yea I'm kinda doing a lot of things at once.
I appreciate you guys who told me to stay safe and stuff, just wanna say that I love you o((*^▽^*))o
Still accepting request...and honestly I always take requests so don't hold back :)
Slow updates are still gonna happen unless I make up another one of these out of the blue ones that I just created from the moment.
