It is a boring day at the cafe. Well not completely boring. Mexican Dream did pop in for a little bit and yelled.
"Why is this place called 'Niki's brown and bakery'?" Mexican Dream ran out after that.
But other than that it's been pretty boring. At this point he would settle for talking to the Blade again.
Though that wasn't too bad. Nope he is not going to think about how nice talking to the super villain was.
He decides to go clean up the back room while he waits for a customer to show up. Though he doubts anyone will be coming at this hour of night on a Monday.
A boy can wish.
He walks to the back room and looks around. The back room isn't messy, but there's probably something that is running out or about to go bad.
He goes to the shelves and looks at what they have, throwing away anything going bad. He also makes a list of what they need more of.
He doesn't hear the door to the cafe open till a familiar voice speaks up.
"Hello, is anyone here? Wilbur calls out.The sign said this place is open!"
"Sorry we don't sell to the rich." He yells back.
He hears a chuckle.
"I should have known Niki would hire someone like you." He hears Wilbur say in a not so quiet whisper.
He snickers and walks to the front and smiles a bit when he sees Wilbur, but he will never admit it.
"Hello, what may I get for your bitch ass today?" He says smiling more when he sees the fake offended look on Wilburs face.
"How dare you!" Wilbur says doing the most theater kid pose of all time.
"Theater kid, wait no, spoiled theater kid." He says, making it look like he put a lot of thought into it.
"I am not!" Wilbur shots back.
"Ok, what do you want 3 piece chicken nugget?" He asks with a sly smirk.
Wilburs face at the insult makes him burst into a fit of giggles.
"Well I want a cinnamon bun and a more respectful cashier." Wilbur says obviously lying on the last part.
"Sorry but Niki isn't here and I'm the only night shift employee." He says grabbing the tongs to get Wilbur their cinnamon bun.
"Fine!" Wilbur replies, turning his head the other way.
Probably to hide a smile.
He grabs the cinnamon bun and puts it into a paper sleeve.
"Here is your normal people cinnamon bun." He says holding it out for Wilbur to grab.
Wilbur grabs it and with a woolfish smirk hops up and sits down on the counter. He doesn't say anything before shoving Wilbur off the counter.
Wilbur screams like a little girl and he snickers. Wilbur hits the ground with a thump and quickly gets up.
"What was that for!" Wilbur yells.
"You sat on the counter so I got you off of it." He answers, grabbing a dis-infectiont wipe to wipe down the counter.
"Shouldn't you be like in school or something?" Wilbur says, going to take a seat at one of the tables.
"I wasn't even able to make it to 2nd grade before I was pulled out of school because shit hit the fan." He says, wiping down the counter.
"What happened when you were 6?" Wilbur asks, taking a bite of their cinnamon bun.
"I was 7 actually and i don't want to open that can of worms in fucking cafe. He says, throwing away the wipe and grabbing a watering can to water the plants in the little cafe. Grab a book off the shelf or something." He suggests.
He goes and waters the plants picking up any books or pieces up putting them where they belong.
"How about you play one of those board games with me, since it doesn't seem anyone is coming by anytime soon." Wilbur suggests , pointing to a shelf of board games.
"Which one, big man?" He asks, putting the watering can on the counter.
"UNO!" Wilbur exclaims excitedly.
"A man of culture I see." He chuckles.
He walks over to the game shelf and grabs the UNO.He walks to Willbur's table and sits down opening the box of UNO.
"So ready to lose." He says, shuffling the deck.
"No, I don't think I'm going to lose. Thank you very much!" Willbur says, putting their elbow on the table and holding their head in their hands.
"Let's see about that." He says, passing Wilbur their cards.
He takes his cards and puts the deck in the middle after grabbing his own cards. He puts the dack in the middle of the table.
"Children first." Wilbur says with a smirk.
"I'm not a child, Wilbiotch." He says putting the starting card down.
The game lasted 45 minutes. He won because he's poggers.
"How!" Wilbur screams.
"I'm a pro at UNO." He says with a cocky smile.
"It's a luck game!" Wilbur huffs.
"To the untrained eye it is." He says, flicking his hair back.
"Ok, don't get that confident Tom's." Wilbur says, squeezing his cheeks.
He starts trying to get out of Wilburs hold and weakly punches them.
"That was a weak punch." Wilbur says, squeezing his cheeks again.
This time he kicks Wilburs seat, but they both know he wasn't aiming for the seat. Wilbur lets go and gets up from the table.
"It was nice to hangout with you Tommy, but I need to go talk with someone, maybe I'll see you again?" Wilbur says the last part as a question.
"Yah, see you soon, big man. He says, picking up the UNO. Want anything before you leave?" He asks, putting the deck into the box.
Wilbur mutters something, but it's too low to hear.
"What was that?" He asks, going to put the UNO back on the game shelf.
"Nothing important." Wilbur says, going to the door.
Wilbur opens the door and looks back at him.
"See you, gremlin child!" Wilbur says, leaving the cafe.
"Not a child!" He calls back, but he doubts Wilbur heard him.
He goes and grabs the watering can off the counter, putting it back where it belongs. He sits down on the floor and grabs his phone.
He checks the time to see it is about time to close the cafe. After a few minutes he hears the door open and gets up. He sees the person that walked in is Niki.
"Hey Niki, how are you tonight?" He asks, walking around the corner.
"Good Tommy, but I need to talk to you about something." Niki says, taking a seat at one of the tables waving him over to take a seat.
He walks over to the table and takes a seat. Niki takes a deep breath.
"There have been a lot more villain sightings over here and with that this place is also getting more dangerous and so I have decided that we need to take more safety precautions. Niki says, taking another deep breath. I am going to hide a gun in the drore right underneath the cash register."
Niki puts a hand on the table.
"Your shift will also end at 8:00 am instead of 11:00 am. Niki says looking at his eyes. You will be paid the same though." Niki smiles.
"Really! He says, in shock."
"Yah, I make enough money to pay you the same, plus the evening shift is the most dangerous." Niki says with a smile.
"Thank you, so much Niki." He exclaims jumping over the table to hug Niki.
"You're welcome Tommy. Niki says, patting his head. You should probably start getting home now Tommy."
Niki gets up.
"Again, thank you Niki." He says getting off of the table.
Niki nods their head and walks to the back.
Well guess I'm going to have a lot more free time, but what am I going to do with it?
