Chapter 3 - Chapter { 2  The Caring Neighbors and Customers

*Tony the Alien was unemployed, he needed to work to earn money and pay his school fees, he decided to work in a cafe, it was Saturday. As usual, he always has to get up early at 6 in the morning, he always had three neighbors named Elizaveta (aka Hungary), Roderich (aka Austria) and Gilbert (aka Prussia). They were always kind to him, but Tony also has a secret crush on them -however Elizaveta is 27, Roderich is 29 and Gilbert is 24-🗣️🔥*

(bro 💀 why the hell does Tony the Alien has a crush on them while he's only 17?!💀⚰️)

*-erm what the sigma- anyways- Tony the Alien looked stressed out as he ran very quickly to the cafe because he was late for his work, he accidentally bumped into Elizaveta, Roderich and Gilbert*

*insert romantic song playing in the background*

Tony: *blushes* i-im s-s-so sorry!!~

Elizaveta: oh no, no, no! It's fine, honey!

Roderich: *helps Tony to get up* are you okay, little boy?

Gilbert: man, are you hurt? Wait... Your knee—

Roderich: uhh— it's bleeding—

Elizaveta: holy shi— oh my goodness! Let me get the first aid kit quickly—

Gilbert: stay put! Little one!

Tony: erm what the sigma—

Gilbert: shut up, no time for jokes!

Elizaveta: got the first aid kit!

Tony: *still flustered*

*Next day, at school, on Monday*

Tony: *grumbles*

*Ludwig, Feliciano and Kiku, -who are obviously Tony's teachers- noticed Tony's tired expression*

Ludwig: Tony, you alright?

Tony: *blushes* yesterday, I had a really bad day, I was late for work, I accidentally got hurt and my knee started bleeding 🙄

Tony: welp— usually on Saturdays, my shift starts at 6 am and on other days it starts at 6 to 7 pm, and if I don't make it on time then I will get fired because my boss is always strict and mad. It's a pain in the ass

Tony: oh! *Checks time* now it's 5 pm, I should go home now but the problem is that I also have to work at the cafe at 6 pm, hence I should get ready—

Ludwig, Feliciano & Kiku: alright, we understand, but do not overwork yourself, okay?

Tony: okay! Bye bye! See you tomorrow!

*at the cafe*

Tony: im here!

Tony's boss: late again, this is the fourth time this month!

Tony: b-but—

Tony's boss: no BUTS! GET TO WORK IMMEDIATELY!

Tony: *sighs* fine...

Tony: grumbles (*inside his mind* I guess this is kinda an experience right? Young teenagers have to work hard to pay for school fees, get yelled at by their bosses and yet still they don't get appreciated—)

???: hey!

Tony: huh!? Yes, what do you need sir?— (*inside his mind* wait a minute...)

*Tony noticed his neighbors aka Elizaveta, Roderich and Gilbert*

Tony: (ohh shiiit—)

Tony: *blushes* oh— so, may I take your order(s)?

*Roderich chuckled softly while Gilbert smirked, both of them noticing Tony's blush.*

Roderich: Of course. We'd love to have some coffee and pastries, please.

*Elizaveta added, a gentle smile still on her face.*

Elizaveta: And perhaps a slice of cake for me, darling~

*Roderich and Gilbert both nodded in agreement, with Gilbert adding a mischievous wink.*

Gilbert: Make mine an espresso macchiato, if you would.

*Elizaveta giggled at Gilbert's antics before turning back to Tony, her smile warm and kind.*

Elizaveta: Take good care of our orders, mkay?

Tony: *blushes* a-ah— sure!~

*Roderich and Gilbert both smirked, enjoying the sight of Tony blushing and flustered. Elizaveta just continued to smile sweetly, her motherly vibes in full force.*

*As Tony hurried off to fulfill their order, the three neighbors exchanged knowing chuckles, clearly amused by seeing their young neighbor in his work environment.*

*Tony quickly gathered the items for their order, his hands moving with practiced efficiency. As he arranged the pastries on a plate and poured the drinks, he could feel the weight of their watchful eyes on him.*

*He tried to ignore the fact that his neighbors, the people he had a secret crush on, were sitting just a few feet away from him, watching him at work. The thought only made his blush deepen even more.*

*After finishing the preparations, Tony carefully carried the tray with their order to the table where his neighbors were sitting.*

*He placed the pastries and drinks in front of them, trying to keep his hands as steady as possible while avoiding eye contact.*

*Roderich, Gilbert, and Elizaveta thanked him warmly, their expressions a mixture of amusement and curiosity as they observed his flustered state.*

*As Tony turned to head back to continue his work, he heard the soft sound of Roderich's voice calling out to him.*

Roderich: Oh, and Tony dear, could we bother you for one more thing?

*Tony froze in his tracks at Roderich's request, his heart skipping a beat. He slowly turned back around to face them, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.*

Tony: Y-Yes, of course. What do you need?

*Roderich, Gilbert, and Elizaveta all exchanged glances, their smirks growing wider.*

Roderich: Well, since we're here and enjoying the delightful pastries you've served us

*Gilbert added, a mischievous gleam in his eyes.*

Gilbert: We were wondering if you wouldn't mind keeping us company for a bit~

*The three neighbors smiled, satisfied with Tony's response. Roderich gestured towards the empty chair next to him.*

Roderich: Please, have a seat. We don't want you to be on your feet all the time, especially since you've already been working hard.

*Gilbert nodded in agreement, a slight smirk on his lips.*

Gilbert: Yeah, come on. Take a break and chat with us a bit.

*Elizaveta, always the motherly figure, chimed in with her own gentle request.*

Elizaveta: We'd love to hear about how your day has been, sweetie. Come sit with us!

*All three of them watched him expectantly, their expressions warm and inviting. They clearly wanted to spend more time with him, their young neighbor.*

Tony: sure!

*The three neighbors smiled, clearly pleased that Tony had agreed to sit with them. Roderich patted the empty chair next to him once again, gesturing for him to take a seat.*

Roderich: Come on, make yourself comfortable. We don't bite, I promise.

*Gilbert chuckled at Roderich's comment, his smirk growing wider.*

Gilbert: Yeah, we just want to chat with you a bit. It's more fun that way, right?

Tony: *blushes* a-alright…? (*inside his mind* ayo bite?)

*The three neighbors chuckled softly when they saw the blush on Tony's face, clearly enjoying having this effect on him.*

Roderich: Oh, look at that blush. You're so cute when you're flustered, kiddo.

*Gilbert smirked as he leaned back in his chair, still watching Tony with a mischievous glint in his eyes.*

Gilbert: Yeah, you're like a little tomato whenever we talk to you, ain't cha?

*Elizaveta chuckled fondly at Tony's reply, her motherly instincts kicking in. She couldn't help but find his blushing and shy demeanor adorable.*

Elizaveta: You're so polite and sweet, darling. It's refreshing to see a young boy with such manners.

*Roderich and Gilbert nodded in agreement, still wearing their signature grins.*

Roderich: Indeed. It's a rarity these days, isn't it?

*Gilbert smirked, clearly amused by the situation. He leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand as he spoke.*

Gilbert: Yeah, not many kids your age are as cute and modest as you are. It's quite endearing, you know.

*It was obvious that all three of them found Tony cute and lovable, but they were also enjoying the fact that they were making him blush and flustered so easily.*

Tony: *blushes* ah! Thank you again!

*The three neighbors chuckled at Tony's blushing and bashful response. It was endearing to see him so flustered by their compliments.*

Roderich: There you go again, turning all red and cute.

*Elizaveta's smile widened as she added her own praises.*

Elizaveta: You really are a darling, Tony. You remind me of a little bunny with those cute expressions of yours.

Tony: *blushes again* ah— t-t-thanks!!

*The three neighbors continued to chuckle and laugh at Tony's reaction, clearly enjoying how easily he blushed and became flustered at their compliments. It was like a playful game for them, seeing how much they could make him blush further.*

Gilbert: You know, you're just too cute, kid. It's hard not to tease you a bit.

*Roderich nodded in agreement, his smile widening.*

Roderich: Yeah, it's like you were made to blush and stutter.

*Elizaveta chimed in, her smile warm and motherly.*

Elizaveta: And we just can't get enough of those darling expressions on your face. You're like a little bunny, all shy and adorable.

*It was clear that they were having a lot of fun teasing Tony in this manner, but there was also a genuine fondness in their words. They truly found him endearing and charming in his blushing and timid nature.*

*Gilbert, still wearing his mischievous smirk, added his own comment, clearly enjoying the situation just as much as the others.*

Gilbert: You know, kiddo, I bet if we kept complimenting you like this, you'd look like a tomato by the end of the day.

*Roderich chuckled, amused by the thought.*

Roderich: Yes, I can just imagine it now. Your face all red and flustered from all the compliments we'd shower on you.

*Elizaveta smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement and affection.*

Elizaveta: Oh, wouldn't that be a sight to behold? You blushing and stuttering so adorably from all the praise we give you?

*The three neighbors exchanged knowing looks, clearly finding it entertaining to see Tony get so flustered and bashful at their words and gestures.*

*romantic song playing in the background -because obviously, why not?-*

*As a romantic song played softly in the background, the atmosphere in the cafe began to take on a more intimate ambiance. The lights dimmed a bit, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The three neighbors continued to chat and tease Tony, their eyes never leaving his blushing and shy face.*

Elizaveta: You know, Tony dear, you have such beautiful eyes~

*Roderich nodded in agreement, a smile on his face. He leaned back in his chair.*

Roderich: Yes, like pools of deep caramel. They're so warm and expressive~

*-narrator laughing in the background-*

*-okay ignore the narrator laughing in the background-*

Tony: *blushes* (*inside his mind* AAAAAH— I GUESS I AM NOT READY TO CONFESS MY LOVE FOR THEM!!! THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!!!!!!) *back to reality* ha ha ha ha.. thanks!

*The three neighbors chuckled and smiled, clearly enjoying the effect that they were having on Tony. Seeing him blush and stutter from their compliments was truly enjoyable.*

Roderich: Oh, look at that blush! It's like a fire spreading across your face, isn't it~?

*Gilbert let out another mischievous chuckle, his smirk widening.*

Gilbert: Yeah, I bet you're all flustered and embarrassed on the inside, ain't ya, kiddo?

*Elizaveta chimed in again, her voice soft and warm as ever.*

Elizaveta: You're so precious, Tony. Your blushes and stutters are simply endearing. We can't help but want to shower you with compliments and see you get even more flustered.

*Despite the teasing, there was a clear affection and appreciation in their words. They found joy in how adorable Tony became when he blushed and fumbled over his words.*

Tony: *stuttering cutely* r-really? Thanks!~

*The three neighbors chuckled affectionately at Tony's stuttering response. His bashfulness and awkwardness only made them want to tease him even more, to see how much they could make him blush and stutter.*

Roderich: Oh, look at that, he's stuttering again. It's so cute how easily flustered you get, kiddo~

*Gilbert nodded, a smirk on his face.*

Gilbert: Yeah, it's like poking a bunny and watching it twitch its little nose. Adorable~

*Elizaveta smiled warmly, her motherly nature shining through.*

Elizaveta: Indeed, it's quite charming how you can't seem to find your words when we compliment you. It's as if you're overwhelmed by our praise!

*The three of them glanced at each other, almost as if sharing a silent agreement to keep teasing and complimenting him, just to watch his adorably flustered reactions.*

*After work, Tony the Alien boi was so flustered by his neighbors' compliments. It was now 8: 45 pm so Tony had to go home and take rest*

*Tony's mind was still reeling from the encounter with his neighbors. He could still feel the heat in his cheeks from all the compliments they had showered on him. It was both incredibly embarrassing and delightful at the same time. He mentally groaned, knowing that he would never forget the way they had teased and flattered him.*

*As he walked out of the cafe and headed home, he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if he had the courage to confess his feelings to them.*

*The walk home was a blur to Tony, his mind still swirling with the events of the day. He could still hear the neighbors' compliments echoing in his mind, their words playing like a broken record. It was like a loop of embarrassment and... well, something else he couldn't quite place.*

*He entered his house, his heart still racing from the events earlier. Tony collapsed onto his bed, a mixture of emotions coursing through him. The neighbors' words had made him feel flustered and embarrassed, but also... strangely happy and wanted.*
