"I guess we're visiting my future job..." I muttered.
Mikasa's POV
"Ok..I guess we can go visit" I said. We all finished out food and got up, we threw away our cups and napkins. We walked out into the crisp Fall weather. We walked for about an hour talking about school and stuff.
-Time skip to when they get to the neighboring town-
We're here I said, "Wow, nice building!" commented Hanji. We walked inside and Sasha and Hanji both slightly gasped. It had pink walls painted with a brick design and fake cherry blossom trees. The tables and chairs were all made with a fine white painted wood, and there were also some chairs with a light yellow colored cotton. The building was also made with large curved windows that gave off a elegant look that matched perfectly with the cherry blossom trees. The cafe gave off a warmhearted aura and the customers that were already there were all socializing with at least one person with warm smiled painted on their face.
I could see someone coming up to us, it was my manager, "Manager Sakura" but apparently we just called her manager. "Oh hey Mikasa! I see you're visiting before your first day hm?" she said as she spread her warm, comforting smile. "Hi I'm Sasha and this is Hanji" Sasha said a she introduced herself. "Oh hello! So you girls are friends with Mikasa?" Sakura asked. "Yup!" Sasha said with a grin. "Oh! Mikasa, I was going to let you try on your uniform on your first day but I guess we can do it today. Just to make sure it fits right." the manager said. She handed me a bag with what seemed to have my "uniform" in it. "I'll be right back Sasha and Hanji." I reassured. I quickly went to the changing room saw three other maids in there supposedly taking their break. There were two blondes with blue eyes, but one of them had icy-blue type of eyes and the other had a light sky blue type of color. Then there was a strawberry blonde hair colored girl with shimmering gold eyes. "Oh, hello I'm Mikasa" I introduced myself. "Oh hey! I bet your the noobie" said the blonde with icy blue eyes. "I'm Christa and this is Annie and the one with strawberry blonde hair is Petra!" she said with a big smile. "Oh hello" I said. "Nice to meet you" said Annie with a monotone voice, "Hi! I hope we can be friends!" said Annie. I gave a small smile and walked away to get changed, I went to the dressing room and changed into the maid outfit. I finished changing and walked out of the fitting room...
I walked out and went to check the mirror, I noticed one when I walked into the break room. I walked out and earned gasps from everyone even Annie. "You look so cute!! AHHH!!!" shouted Christa. "Oh..thanks" I said sheepishly. It fit right and it I wasn't uncomfortable really wearing it. The thing was the neko ears. "What's with the cat ears though?" I asked, "Oh well, we all have a theme, I'm a bunny, Annie is a puppy and Petra is a bee, the manager decided our themes on what she thought we would look best in!" she explained. "Oh I see.." I looked in the mirror and I honestly couldn't recognize myself. I never saw myself working in a maid cafe, let alone a maid outfit. It did look cute though I guess, "You should show the manager!" Christa pointed out. "Oh yeah sure.." I waved my hand a bit and walked out of the break room. I hesitated a bit but then slowly walked out to find the manager and my friends. I looked around the cafe and saw the manager chatting with Hanji and Sasha who were both eating what seemed like a cat foam latte. I walked over to them and the manager noticed me coming. "Oh hello Mikasa! We were just talking about you!" the manager said. "Wow Mikasa you look so kawaii!" added Hanji. "T-thank you" I said quickly, so I am a bit uncomfortable wearing it but I think I can get used to it..I think. "Yep! I knew you would be perfect for a cat!" exclaimed the manager. I nodded and walked quickly back to the break room, there were definitely people staring at me. I basically ran to the break room and slammed my way in. I guess Christa and the other's breaks were over, I walked over to the fitting area again and quickly changed to my normal clothes. I walked over to the table where Sasha and Hanji were at, they both seemed like they were having fun. "Hey I'm back", "Oh hey Mika!" said Sasha. "Soooo how did you feel in the maid outfit?" asked Hanji, "meh not a lot, I just felt eyes staring at me..". "Ahaha! You should have seen it, everyone was looking at you!" exclaimed Sasha. I think I felt myself getting a bit flushed, "A-anyway let's go shopping shall we?" I offered. Sasha and Hanji nodded and we all said goodbye to the manager and left. We decided to go to the local mall back in the other town since we were more used to that one.
-Another time skip to when they got back to their town- We ordered an Uber this time and got to the mall is 30 minutes. "So, anyway particular you feel like going to?" I asked. "I don't think so" replied Hanji. "Hmm Forever 21?" asked Sasha. Hanji and I nodded and we made our way to the store. I think I need some new clothes anyway, my old clothes are from like 1 or 2 years ago and their getting small.
We entered the store and all went to the girls section of the store and started browsing. I actually found a bit of clothes I liked and put the pieces together to make a few outfits. So did Sasha and Hanji only wanted a leather jacket. I went into the fitting room and tried on the outfits that I made.
I first wore a black halter crop top with a matching black skirt with a long black jacket covering my whole body with chunky black boots. I liked the edgy, yet cute look. I next tried on a white sleeves less shirt with a black outline with black shorts. I put on another black jacket that reached my thighs. I put on some black thigh high stocking and put on the boots again. It almost looked like a dress with how the shirt and pants blended in together with the jacket.
I next tried on a simpler outfit, a black sweater and white jeans with gold rhombus shaped earrings with a black choker with a gold jewel dangling from the bottom. I also liked how it was casual but cute.
I finally got the last outfit out and asked Sasha what she thought. Of course like the other three times she said "YES, GET IT!!" "Remind me to never let us go shopping alone" I reminded Sasha. Sasha chuckled a but at my reasoning. The reasoning was that I noticed how when I asked "Should I get this or this, Sasha would ALWAYS say to get both". But I did like them all so I decided to get all of them. They were really my style and it was also on sale since I guess nobody wanted them? I went to the check-out line to see Hanji waiting for us. Sasha followed and bought her things, "That'll be $94.63" said the cashier. I paid and we moved onto the next store. We saw a bubble tea place so we went there, I got the tiger bubble tea, whatever that is. Hanji got passion fruit saying it sounded good and Sasha got matcha flavored. We then moved onto a jewelry store and went inside, since I wanted to go in and see what there was. As a child I loved looking at jewelry, especially diamonds or rubies, something about the sparkle in jewelry just made me so drawn to them. I didn't see anything I especially liked and neither did Sasha. Hanji wasn't interested in jewelry so we left the store and went to a popular shoes store. We went in and you know that smell of new clean shoes? Yeah that's what hit me as soon as we went in.
Hanji went to check out sneakers with Sasha and I went to the boots selection since those were my favorites. They were comfortable but fashionable, a good choice in my opinion. I found a pair of boots that were in my size that caught my eye.
Black fabric chunky heeled boots with laces.
I tried them on to see if they were on comfortable and they were..very. I also thought of getting winter boots since here when it's winter it could get as cold as -45 degrees. I went to the winter section to see Sasha there as well. "Oh hey Mika! You came to see winter boots too? Smart" Sasha said. "Yeah, besides I need a pair since last year was..regrettable." I replied.
Sasha snickered a bit and went back to browsing, I was also browsing when my eyes set on a air of shoes. They were black knee high boots and with laces. I picked them up and tried them on. Knee high black boots that were thin but hugged my legs with a bit of fur on the inside with a low heel and laces.
They were gorgeous and Sasha turned around to the sound of the clicking of the heel of the boots."Ooh! Those are nice! I would say to pick those" Sasha commented. I nodded and took the boots off and put them back in the box. I went to the cashier and I saw Sasha getting a new pair of Converse and some beige winter boots with a lot of fur. I also saw Hanji getting some Nike's. I paid for my shoes and exited the store waiting for Sasha and Hanji. They finally came out and Hanji asked " Hey since we're all pretty much ready for winter, why not get some clothes for winter too?" "Oh that is a good point, I don't have any winter clothes." I pointed out. "Yeah I could use some extra winter clothes." said Sasha. "Alright let's go!" Sasha exclaimed.
We got to the best winter clothing store we know of and went inside. It already felt stuffy and warm. My body temperature isn't as much effected by cold weather as much a Sasha, Armin, or Eren. Those guys cover themselves head to toe with clothes but I'll be fine with a sweater, scarf thigh high socks, shorts, since leggings would be too much and of course boots.
I looked at the winter sweaters they had and browsed through the racks. Suddenly someone grabbed my arm I turned my head and saw Hanji and Sasha dragging me to what seemed like the fitting rooms. They shoved me in a room and shoved clothes at me, "WEAR THESE" shouted Hanji. "Umm ok? What is their problem?" I asked myself, I didn't know what the clothes were but I tried them on anyway. I quickly got changed and- are you kidding me right now?
"I look like a damn lolita.." I muttered, I stepped outside of the fitting room and showed Sasha and Hanji. "There, happy now?", "Oh c'mon you don't like it? It even matches your boots pretty well" Sasha pointed out. "Yes, but I don't wanna look like a damn lolita mixed with red riding hood.". "But I did pick out this" I went into the fitting room again before I said anything else.
I was changing when I heard Hanji say gas and say "I'll be right back" and I heard her footsteps going farther away. I shrugged it off and continued changing. I was done and stepped out of the fitting room, "What do you think?" I asked Sasha. I could tell Sasha was a bit surprised by the way her mouth was a bit open.
Hangi's POV
I quickly ran away and texted Levi:
Hanji: LEVI?
Levi: What do you want shitty glasses?
Hanji: If you would have to choose a favorite winter style of clothing on a girl what would you choose?
Levi: Tch, why are you asking me this?
Hanji: Just answer it's important!!
Levi: Well if that's what it takes to get you to shut up then I guess a dress over casual.
Hanji: That answer is good enough, thanks Levi! chu~
I closed my phone and went to the racks again, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, YES! I found exactly what I was looking for and sprinted back to the fitting rooms. I saw Mikasa in a cute outfit but I shoved my new choice to her and turned her around and shoved her into the fitting room again. "It's for your own good!" I reassured.
Mikasa's POV
Another one..? Great, who knew shopping for a simple outfit would take so much time. I quickly changed into the outfit Hanji gave me and stepped out..
I looked in the mirror and though, "Well, it's actually not bad. It was a deep red color with white long sleeved shirt underneath with white buttons upper torso and skirt. It was also warm and comfortable. "Well, what do you think?" I asked as I turned to look at Hanji and Sasha. "YES THAT'S THE ONE!!" said Sasha with a smile on her face, "I agree" added Hanji. Alright I guess this'll work.
Hanji had decided to wear a sweater and leggings that she already had. Sasha wanted to wear a very thick jacket with jeans and her converse and many other winter clothing pieces. Me and Sasha went to the cashier and paid for the outfits and I very tired by then. "Let's get food! I'm starving!!" exclaimed Sasha. I then noticed it was already 5:22 p.m. "You're right, we should eat something." I replied. We headed to the food court and tried to decide what to eat.
We decided to get ramen and dumplings, we each got a medium sized ramen and each got a small tray of dumplings. "So, do any of you guys have a crush?" Hanji asked, Not this again, I am not the type to just openly tell people about my feelings, plus I don't feel anything for anybody especially..I think." "No" I replied to Hanji slurping on my ramen noodles. "Well me and Connie have been hanging a bit lately.." Sasha said blushing a bit. "Honestly I wasn't interested ad would rather talk about school or something.Speaking of school, "Hey guys school starts on Monday? Are you guys ready for it?" I asked. "Yup!" said Sasha, "Mhm" replied Hanji. "I think me and Sasha have three or four classes together." I added, "Oh yeah! We have a few classes together." We all finished our ramen at that time and called an Uber to take us back to the academy. *sigh* "That was nice, we should do this more often." I said, "I agree" said Sasha. "That ramen was good.." added Sasha. "Anyway it's already 7:42, we should head back inside." we then went inside our dorms. I opened the door and went inside to see Levi sleeping peacefully. I quietly walked into the room and got my pajamas. I took a hot shower for about 10 minutes and changed into a silk white top with black shorts, I stepped out of the bathroom and Levi was still sleeping. I got my phone and earbuds and listened to music. I turned my head and saw Levi sleeping like a peaceful baby. Cute, I thought in my head, Wait what the?! Ugh not again I just continued listening to music and eventually fell asleep.
