Cosplay Cafe

Zacky Baker sighed in relief at the bell for last period as he walked through school hallway, clutching his sketchpad to his chest tightly. His anime artwork inside the sketchbook was for him, Johnny’s, Aya’s and Ash’s eyes only. He was too preoccupied to the news of a new chapter of Black Butler that he clumsily bumped into a person, getting knocked back to his ass

“Oh sorry, I didn’t see your pretty little head there.” A smooth voice apologized. “No it’s my fault, I was spacing out” Zacky mumbled and bent down to pick his sketchbook. As he got up he was met with warm eyes and gasped slightly. It was his crush Brian Haner. “Here let me help you up” Brian smiled and helped Zacky to his feet. “Take care Baker” He gave his toothy grin and walked off, leaving Zacky to stare

Great, the time I run into him happens to be the time I make a fool out of myself. Way to go Baker!

He groaned mentally, cursing at himself for being so careless. But he didn’t dwell on it too long, speeding to the Art Studio to avoid any insults being thrown at him. He nearly sang with relief when he entered the art room, taking a seat next to Johnny. “We’re working today right?” Johnny whispered to his ear as the green-eyed boy nodded. “Yeah, wearing kimonos and our ears.” Zacky replied, opening his sketchbook. Inside was a myriad of different anime sketches, ranging from Naruto to Soul Eater. There were also original characters drawn and band people as anime characters.

“Fancy seeing you here” A familiar voice chuckled, Zacky’s head snapped up and his eyes widened slightly. “I didn’t know you go to art Brian...” Zacky mumbled, playing with his fingers. “We changed groups, new school curriculum idea.” Brian shrugged and took a seat next to Zacky, smiling at the younger boy. A tall figure plopped down next to Johnny, startling him for a second. “Hey Bri. Hello Zacky, Johnny.” Jimmy smiled, his eyes sparkling when they landed on Johnny. “Hi Jimmy” Johnny whispered, eyes now even more focused on his own sketches.

Zacky gulped and started sketching in his own book, trying hard not to stare at Brian. Their teacher was a laid back one who had to finish marking some things so he let the class do whatever they please. He tugged at the sleeves of his hoodie, fiddling with the material as he thought of what to draw. A lightbulb seemed to have gone off in his head before his pencil flew across the page. Johnny the same, furiously working his pencil against paper. Brian and Jimmy watched as artwork seemed to form out of thin air on the paper, smiling slightly at their cuteness.

“Johnny who does this remind you off?” Zacky asked, showing Johnny a face with an eyepatch over the right eye and cobalt blue eyes with dark grey hair. “Uh... Ciel Phantomhive! Man I haven’t read Black Butler for a while. What happened?” Johnny asked, scooting closer to his raven-haired friend. “Sebastian dies” Zacky giggled as Johnny’s eyes widened. “What?! I thought he was a demon! How can he die?” Johnny asked, leaning over Zacky who was opposite him at the table. Jimmy let his lips twitch in a slight smirk as he saw Johnny’s shirt riding up his body, revealing a strip of pale and smooth skin. The skinny jeans weren’t helping the blue-eyed boy’s fantasies of his crush

Jimmy groaned as images of the younger boy’s blushing face invaded his mind. But he was thankfully brought back to reality by Brian, who threw a paper ball at him. “Hey Zacky, did Mr Evans give us any History homework?” Brian asked as Zacky and Johnny, who both nodded their heads. “Damn, I didn’t pay attention. Can you guys help us please?” Jimmy asked the two smaller males, who looked at each other. “Erm.. sure. How about tomorrow? We have work after school today” Johnny proposed. “Okay, where do you guys work?” Jimmy asked. “At a cafe” Johnny replied, not giving much information away

The bell rang shrilly, making the four boys jump in surprise. “Let’s go Johnny, we might be late! Bye guys!” Zacky smiled and grabbed Johnny’s hand, pulling him out of the door of the Art Studio

“Bunny! They’re just so hot!” Zacky sighed at Johnny, who nodded sadly. “I know Kitty... but they’re hopelessly straight! So we’ll never stand a chance” Johnny sighed and went to collect an order

Sometimes I wish life was easier, and that I don’t have a fetish for dressing up

Zacky thought and frowned, but quickly turning it to a smile and greeted some customers entering
