---"Little ani, you have a special heart. It can melt the coldest of hearts and heal the worst of injuries. Never give up on your own heart, never give up on love or life" Animus looked up at his mother, he was only a child back then, he had no idea what she meant until now---


Animus gripped tighter, "okay... so what?" he knew that he may have been pulling at Aaron's fur a bit too tight. He didnt care. Aaron was that cold heart, it broke Animus' own heart to see him like this, he worried at how Aaron lived before they met,it only made his tears fall even more. Maybe it was the time... Animus couldnt tell anymore, "please let me in, is that how you really feel about whats going on? or are you just repeating what youve been taught?"

     "I...I'm...trying to do my job...this will just get us fired...someone will walk in..."
     -Am I trying to...escape!?- Aaron wondered. He shook where he stood.
     He tried to say more. But his conviction had slipped. He hardened his heart a little and pushed Animus gently away. He turned away and picked up the chair Animus had knocked over.
     "Don't challenge my ideals when I'm trying to protect you..." He whispered.

Animus stood there, he couldnt do anything more and he knew, but he just wanted to go right back to holding Aaron, he wiped his eyes and sniffled, "You asked to see my parents? Im going to their grave today... its up to you..." he turned away and went to go put the samples out on the displays,he hummed silently to himself as he arranged small nibbles of food outside on the plastic trays. His smile returned slowly and was back by the time the first customer arrived. "Welcome!"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Irasshai!" Aaron added; welcome in Japanese. He continued scrubbing.

The woman smiled at both of them and sat herself in a small single seat table, Animus brought a cup of coffe to her and got out a notepad from his pocket, "What can i get you miss?" the Woman ordered a princess parfait along with a petite doughnut,Animus scribbled it down and rushed to the back, "it will be right out!"
"What a pretty girl..." the woman said with a soft smile
Animus lipped to Aaron, "keep her coffee glass full"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     Aaron stood at a respectful distance and put on a pleasant and subservient expression. He kept his tails splayed and evenly spaced.

[Babydoll Animis]

The woman sipped her coffee quietly and looked out the window,her tail swayed and hungs out the back of the chair. Animus helped Msark out in the back preparing the parfait the doughnut on a dish steaming.
The coffee glass was almost empty.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     Aaron slid silently away, reappearing besides he customer with a slight cough.
     "More coffee, milady?" He asked, with a flourish in both his free hand and his voice.

[Babydoll Animis]

"oh! what a gentlmenam! please." she held up her coffee cup
"you wouldnt happen to be dating that cute girl would you?"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Perhaps when we learn more about one another. After all, it does little for love to rush." Aaron said diplomatically, wondering for a brief moment if some celestial force was testing him. He gently poured the coffee an stepped back once more.
     "Please, enjoy."

[Babydoll Animis]

"oh how sweet. good luck young man" she smiled at him happily as Animus came out with the parfait and doughnut "here you go ma'am! enjoy!" Animus set the dishes onto the table and backed up to Aaron's side

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Things are going well so far." Aaron mumbled, wondering how long it would take for someone to barge in from somewhere and threaten assault in some fashion. "Your advice? You are my senpai in this."

[Babydoll Animis]

As if something heard Aaron's thoughts, a low rumble was heard as a large gang of men and women of all ages rushed to the cafe hearing that the cute maid was back and ready to serve. "And now... the day begins..." Animus sighed, "get ready to take orders. ill be in the back, mark will take my spot as server for the most part"
The number of customers seemed to never end no matter how fast or hard they worked, Animus came out to deliver complex dishes, only to be felt up by pervs or hit on by men. Animus ignored them as best as he could and tried to not say anything and simply smiled. Mark had kicked a few out by then when he caught a few of them. Animus kept looking at Aaron, admiring how he looked and that smile that seemed to quicken Animus'heart as well as the girls. By the time the crowd died down,the cash register was stuffed with loads of cash. Animus was already out of his uniform and heading to the door. "thank god thats over... mom, dad... here i come"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "Let's go." Said Aaron, beside Animus. He wore his red shorts, blue scarf and a fine greatcoat which apparently no longer belonged in Mark's ownership.
     "I'm sorry I couldn't keep all those customers off of you. I did my best within he limits of my job."

[Babydoll Animis]

"Dont worry about it! Just knowing that you tried is enough for me. Besides Mark has gotten good at spotting the frisky ones now a days" Animus smiled and walked down the street, he walked close to Aaron's side. "So you ready to meet em? i think theyve been dying to meet you.... no pun intnded" Animus smiled lessened slightly. The cemetary was peeking up as they walked further.
