[attr="class","hiraeth"]山雨欲来风满楼 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Life had become rather dull to the likes of Minoru Takashima, the repetitive cycle of sleeping and waking up to attend his complex college classes, had slowly, but surely, weighed heavy on the young adult's broad shoulders. To add onto that, the pedestal his family had placed him on was more of a burden than anything; however, he continued to march down the weary path chosen for him with his head held high. It was troubling times like this which brought him here, to the Fruit's Parlor located within the Royal Crown— above the Game Center. Crowded as always and bustling with life, the Fruit's Parlor was a place that brought together those of various ages, both young and old. The savoring and beautifully display of fruits easily being the main appeal of the shop. "Hm." Golden orbs stared daringly at the eraser board that was placed a few feet away from the cashier, "Should I get the Watermelon Paradise or the Pineapple Apple-Apple?" Lost in thought, a single finger traced the path of the scar across his face as he debated with himself; the latter, Pineapple Apple-Apple seeming to pull at his strings a bit more than the Watermelon Paradise. "Ready to place an order Minoru-Kun? Will you be having the usual?" He was a regular here, clearly. He shook his head softly in response to her statement, a slight, rather brief moment of disbelief finding its way across the cashier's facade. "Can I have the Pineapple Apple-Apple? Just go a bit light on the apples." A slight chuckle escaped her lips as she acknowledged his request. "No problem. Sit at table four and your order will be served to you when ready." |

"Order up, Ori-chin!"
exclaimed the feminine voice.
Hair that extended past the mid-section of her back reaching toward the level of her hips; vibrantly golden and voluptuously curly. The waitress would come to adorn the uniform of a maid, due to the restaurant itself being a Maid Café; therefore those who worked there had to abide by the rules of uniformity. A pink colored bow would come to be adorned upon the back of the waitress's hair, to which from that point on she would adorn the costume of a French maid. Though, rather then the color being black, she would adorn a pink colored French Maid uniform. Followed by that, underneath the skirt of the maid uniform, she would adorn a pair of white stockings with black flats for footwear.
This outfit was very embarrassing and something she would never wear! But she had only recently just obtained this part-time job in order to help pay for expenses such as groceries and lessons for the piano with Mrs.Otonashi. It wasn't something she enjoyed due to the uniform choice, but she had the look for it sadly. And they were looking for someone of her caliber with an innocent and young look!
"I got it, thanks' Mira!" she exclaimed aloud to her respective seniority at the cash register. And acquiring the order that was requested by the male customer. She would gather the Pineapple Apple-Apple, which was such a weird drink that for some unknown reason had the word "apple" within it a lot, and made her way to bringing the seated customer's order at table four.
Once there, the girl would exclaim with a loud gasp. It was him, the boy she never knew. "It's him..." she said aloud under a hushed tone. Inhaling a breath of air only to release the next through her maw, she would make haste to deliver the order. Placing the drink within her hand, she would set the silver platter down only to place the drink within his hand. What would happen next? She would never expect.
"H-Here's your order, sir!" said the stuttering Orihime.

[attr="class","hiraeth"]山雨欲来风满楼 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ The pleasant aroma of blended fruit which danced about the bustling cafe teased at Minoru's senses; the smell of both apples and pineapples easily made his mouth water as he awaited his order. Normally, he was capable of being patient; however, today was a bit different. Unlike many, Minoru believed that the smallest of changes in one's routine added a bit of excitement to life; and though this was rather minuscule, the purchase of a new drink had him rather, inpatient. Donning his usual attire consisting of slated slacks, black shoes, and a white t-shirt covered by a red woolen cardigan; the college bound student couldn't help but think about how this new experience would play out. You see, the constant stress of maintaining his grades and balancing a social life with friends, was no easy task— in fact, it took more of a toll on him than perceived. Most of the time he felt as if he was being stripped of his sanity day by day, thus is why, this small drink played such a big role; it was something he had control over. "H-Here's your order, sir!" Puzzled eyes that were originally gazing down at the mobile device within his hands shot up immediately. The voice behind the statement was appealing to his ears; the tone was soft and innocent; yet, it had a hint of danger tracing behind it. Golden orbs stared at the orange-locked figure with astonishment, for her beauty came second to none. His speech staggered a bit, his lips failing to properly form the words that his brain had processed. "Um, t-thank you, miss? I've never seen you here before, what's your na—!?" In the midst of him responding, a rather short moment of their hands brushing had occurred; it was during that transition, Minoru was struck with what some referred to as "Déjà vu." The image was vivid, clear as day as if he himself was actually there at one point in his life. Before his eyes was a girl that possessed long orange hair, her eyes filled to the brim with tears as a blade remained firmly within her grasp. She was muttering words that could not reach the ears of the person in question, and suddenly, in one swift motion, she stabbed herself. The sound of glass shattering caught the attention of those in the area. Frozen in place by the images that flashed before him, Minoru had lost grip of the smoothie in his hand. As a result of this, shards of glass became an addiontal decoration to the marble floors. What the hell was that? His breathing became a bit heavier, his eyes widened with confusion, and his thoughts screamed to recieve answers. The girl that was in that image, it was... it was the girl right infront of him. |

A sound uttered throughout the air; an echo––still––among the now silent area. It was quiet, the ruckus would cause some to divert their attention toward she and the male's direction. The appropriate response would be to remain calm, stoic within the situation. But what caught her off guard, though all was going well, his expression became surprised and riddled with shock.
Her response, nothing more than a calm personality within the toughest of situations, would be brought to focus with a radiant beam. "It's okay! Don't worry about the mess, I'll clean it up, I'm such a klutz!" Reassuring the male it was her fault entirely and that it was okay, she would scurry off to gather a mop to clean the mess up. Only returning quickly with some light assistance from another co-worker. She would pick up the glass with her bare hands, cutting herself within the process.
"Ouch!" she winced with sudden pain. "Oh no..." Orihime would come to find herself bleeding from the index of her finger upon cleaning up the mess. "Such a klutz," she said to herself having forgotten about the male for a short quick second. She would look up toward the male, and would ask, "Is everything alright? Can I get you another one? It looked as if...You blacked out from shock or s-something...I hope I didn't startle you in anyway...?"

A little change was good for the human soul; however, this was far greater than a slight alteration. Placing a hand upon his facade to hide his emotional response to it all, Minoru slowly began to stabilize his already fluctuated breathing; and although this aided him physically, mentally he was still disturbed. Even when Orihime (he had discovered her name via her name tag) had taken it upon herself to rectify his mistake, he still wasn’t fully back from his experience. To be quite frank, the reason he was so petrified wasn’t due to the images that flashed for that brief moment, but moreso towards at how surreal it had felt to him. Did he know her from somewhere? And if he did, why couldn’t he remember her or that moment? A plethora of questions rained down one after the other, each “drop” seeming to be heavier than the previous one. Had the hands of insanity finally reached him after all these years? Sinking deeper into despair, a hand in the form of a question brought him somewhat back to reality. ”Is everything alright? Can I get you another one?...” Even the wildest of beasts could be tamed with such an angelic like voice such as hers. Removing his hand from his face, Minoru somewhat returned to his normal state; his shoulders that were once tense had now eased up, eyes that were lost finally found themselves in her own. Orihime, she was naturally pretty; a girl that didn’t have to put on makeup to “enhance” her features; in fact, makeup probably would hinder her instead of apply betterment. She was one of a kind, not many were like her. ”I’m fine, it was my fault after all, not yours. I’ll pay for an--!? Are you okay?!” He was referring to her finger bleeding. Still stationed in his chair, his body leaned forward so his hands could reach out to see the cut upon her finger. However, hesitation washed over him the minute his hands reached out. Was this fear? His arms found their place back at his sides, and as if he was disgusted with himself, he looked away with shame. ”Um, Orihime.” His eyelids lowered a bit as he continued his speech, ”Have I met you somewhere before, or at least crossed paths with you? I’m asking because.... Actually, nevermind forget I said anything” ✉ tag -- ORIHIME TSUKIKO ✎ 437 words ※ I hope I'm giving you enough to reply back to. |

Her name.
A light look of shock or, even surprise rather, would come to manifest upon her face as she held confusion on how he exactly knew her name. Only for her confusion to become realization that––duh––she was wearing a name tag! The boy she once saw as a mysterious figure, was more of a babbling oof who held a lot of oddity to his character. It made her...It made her want to laugh! So much was being said from him and so little of her, it had been such a long time since she laughed and...
"Heh..." she chuckled, "Ahahaha!" she couldn't contain her laughter at how worried he was of her, it practically made her feel so stupid! This boy, he was just like her. He was weird, awkward and just...He was just fun! Orihime's life had been spun out of control and it's been so long since she had something to laugh or feel merry about. Her words, his words, it sparked something within her as she wanted to say something but just couldn't find the words.
"You're really strange, you know that?" Orihime said with a rosy cheek smile. For her to call someone strange for once? This was definitely a new side of Orihime that, not even her mother or anyone else, had seen. The second he took hold of her hand she hadn't even realized it. Physical contact wasn't her forte, nor did she enjoy touching people without permission. But he made her forget all about the crippling anxiety or desire to remain distant from touch all in one minute. "I'm fine, I'm fine please don't fret." she said lightly in reassurance.
Upon taking her hand back as she would let him go, he would ask if he knew of her but regretted asking the question all of a sudden. "Well, I have seen you in here a few times but...I was never lucky to actually strike a conversation with you, haha. But I'm no one special to be honest, I'm easy to miss––I don't have my glasses on so maybe you saw me outside once upon a time with those on?" she questionably stated. Grabbing hold of a napkin from his table and using it to clean her hand, she would look at the boy once more, "Also, if you wouldn't mind me asking, what's your name?" Orihime would inquire.

[attr="class","hiraeth"]山雨欲来风满楼 | [attr="class","achee"] [attr="class","castleonthehill"] ❝ Over the years, Minoru had come to identify himself as many things; irrational, hypocritical, abrupt, narrow-minded, and somewhat impulsive. However, the word "strange", which rolled off the tip of Orihime's tongue like water to oil― did everything but resonate with the youth. To be quite honest, Orihime's choice of words had struck a nerve that would have most likely shift Minoru's opinion of her; if it wasn't for his hardened interior and forgiven personality, he would have stormed out of the mall and swore off the girl as a demon of some sort. Though, her cheeky smile and contagious laughter soften the blow greatly, even putting his mind at ease as she assured him that she was well. A sigh of relief couldn't help but slither through the folds of his lips as he leaned back in his chair, flaxen hues still locked in with the girl's own while she continued to speak. "But I'm no one special, to be honest, I'm easy to miss–"Without hesitation he had cut her off to squeeze in a few words, he was completely okay with letting her finish; but, not after he finished with what he had to say. "You're not easy to miss. In fact, you stand out from everyone else here; and that makes you special. Well, um, in my eyes that is." Cheeks slightly altered in color, what was once pale had now been replaced with rose pink. "Also, if you wouldn't mind me asking, what's your name?"Giving his name was not much of a big deal; although, the clear signs of shyness which stand out in his tone would make one think others. "My name is Minoru Takashima. I guess you can say, it's finally nice to meet you Orihime." A soft chuckle escaped his lips. |

And that's when it hit her.
That's when the memory of "Takeshima Minoru" came to set within her mind. But it wasn't his name, it was his words:
[player]http://k003.kiwi6.com/hotlink/qagi39g7q0/The_Giver_-_Rosemarys_piano_theme_with_an_ending_.mp3[/player]
"You're not easy to miss. In fact, you stand out from everyone else here; and that makes you special. Well, um, in my eyes that is."
–– Minoru Takeshima
And that was when she remembered. The sound of a piano, laughter, and dancing. Her mind blacked for just a bit as she saw a face––but not just any face, it was a familiar face that had been shadowed and blurred from her mind. She couldn't place her words together, but the male withheld a...scar. The scar, though it would be seen, she held little to not recognition of the face. "What..." she spoke, signifying as if she had not been listening when in actuality she was confused.
"Everything was white...there was a song––a beautiful song playing...and that man," she said aloud. Once more allowing her mind to dwindle to the past as she saw a beautiful girl with her as gold as treasure, hair voluptuous as Rapunzel. It brimmed a hue of gold underneath the white moonlight from which she stood upon a balcony, crying in the arm of a man that she...that she loved,
"Finally..."
She would stand up, backing away from MINORU TAKASHIMA as if he were a plague. The scar that which she saw upon the man had bee within the same spot as his own. "Impossible...There's no way that..." Her mind was riddled with questions as she couldn't fathom for what she had just seen. Merely placing two and two together without any further thought into it. "You're the one that was in my drea––" she would be startled by a sudden ring of her cellular device's vibration within her apron. Unable to finish her words she would exclaim,
"I'm sorry!"
And without so much as a goodbye, and in the midst of dropping her beloved crescent locket due to it falling out of her apron. She would run out of the café without so much as a goodbye. Leaving only all that was left of her her most treasured item. The locket itself was a gift by her father, Satoshi Tsukiko. If he were to open it he would hear the song which played within Orihime's memories, a beautiful tune of familiarity from their past life that she once held no recollection of. Each night it plays, she dreams of a princess in white and a man adorning that of armor. Perhaps it is a key to the past or the key to a potential future, but at best it was definitely a key to her obtaining her heart.
