This sure was a thing I wrote
***
It started out as any other Tuesday in the salon. Momo had just finished working on his final client before his lunch break ( a simple wash, cut and blow-out. No problem for him) when he heard a voice calling from the waiting room.
“I need someone to sign for this package. It’s labeled for Momoshiro Takeshi? This the right place?”
“Oh yeah,” Momo thought to himself. “I did get an email saying that the shampoo sets would arrive sometime today.”
“I’ll be there in two seconds, sorry to make you wait,” Momo called, not looking back. He quickly cleaned up his work station, stuffed the used combs in a bottle of barbicide, and made his way over to the door.
Momo stopped dead in his tracks, absolutely mesmerized by the sight in front of him. The UPS worker had a handsome enough face, but his legs were where he really shined. Those quads looked like they could kill a man. Momo almost felt bad for him since it was clear that the shorts were about a size too small, but honestly, his own personal enjoyment trumped any sort of sympathy that he might have had towards the worker.
Momo shook his head trying his best to snap his mind out of the gutter.
“I didn’t mean to keep you uh... waiting. I appreciate your patience um… your name if that’s alright to ask?,” Momo said while he scribbled his signature across the screen.
“It’s Kaidou, and It’s not like I was waiting for a long time anyway so don’t worry..”
“It still means a lot. I can get zoned out while I work so it’s great to know that I didn’t frustrate you or anything like that. That’s the sign of a very well mannered and kind employee. Wish some of my staff would follow your example.” Momo gave a quick nervous laugh and handed back the device.
“I’m just doing what’s expected of my job. It's nothing special,” Kaidou mumbled into his sleeve while slight blush began to appear across his cheeks.
Momo swore that his heart just skipped a beat. That might have just been the cutest expression he had ever seen another human make. He was about to add on another comment perhaps as an attempt to flirt, but Kaidou had already turned around to exit the salon.
Momo knew one thing for sure. Those shorts looked even better on him from behind.
“Hey Kikumaru!”
“What is it boss?”
“Are we running low on any supplies? I have to make a new order so it arrives at this time next week.”
A week later, the other salon employees (and some of the clients) noticed that Momo had been acting strangely all morning. Momo was always fairly laid back, but he didn’t often sing along to the songs on the radio. It was usually limited to light humming and not for every song. None of it seemed to affect the quality of his work so no one felt bothered enough to mention it to him. Well, almost everybody.
“You kept stealing glances at the front entryway about once every thirty seconds while you were blow drying my hair. What’s up with that?”
Momo looked up from the cash register to see An in front of the desk her hand outstretched with a tip for him. He accepted it and wondered how he could possibly explain the situation without revealing all the details on his new obsession. Trying to deny this behavior wasn’t at option. An was a tenacious girl and that would only fuel her desire to learn to the truth.
“Long story short, I’m expecting a UPS package today and I really hope they send this one specific delivery guy because he has a nice face and it’s really hot the way his legs fill out that uniform. And I’ll probably be too nervous to say anything cohesive and end up talking way too quickly.” Momo sped through his answer looking at An straight in the face. “Happy with my response?”
An broke out into laughter, and Momo wasn’t sure if he should be offended or not by her reaction. After her giggles subsided, she began to speak. “Momo, you have nothing to worry about. You’re a great conversationalist and you make all of your clients feel comfortable with you. Just be yourself and find a subtle way to get him to talk with you more.”
Just as Momo was about to respond, the door to the salon opened and a familiar voice echoed throughout the waiting room.
“Package for Momoshiro Takeshi!”
The moment of truth had arrived.
Before he could make his way over to where Kaidou stood, An managed to pull down Momo’s shoulder so she could whisper one final comment into his ear.
“Damn, Momo. You sure weren’t kidding about those shorts.”
Momo gave her a light shove on the shoulder hoping that his face wasn’t an abnormal shade of red.
“Good to see you again Kaidou.” Momo walked up with a big grin on his face. Kaidou acknowledged him with a nod while Momo continued to speak. “Hope you’ve been well this past week. Man we’ve been so swamped. I can’t believe I forgot to order mousse until now. Running out would have been both devastating and embarrassing.”
“I can only imagine. I’m not too familiar with all the different hair care products and brands,” Kaidou said looking around at the variety of shampoos that lined the shelves.
Momo’s eyes lit up at the last statement. This was his chance.
“Youshouldtotallycomeinforanappointment. I’llgiveyouthefamilyandfriendsdiscount.”
If Momo’s face wasn’t red before, it was now definitely a deep scarlet.
“I’ll just shut up and sign for my package now,” he mumbled before Kaidou even had a chance to respond.
Momo’s hands were shaking so much that as soon as he picked up the device, it slipped out of his grip. On instinct, both of them lunged in an attempt to grab it; however, their heads ended up colliding with one another on the way down. Momo was able to regain his balance and stay standing, but Kaidou fell right onto the floor. Seeing that Kaidou’s nose was now gushing blood, Momo began to panic.
“Kaidou, I’m so sorry! That was so stupid of me. Are you ok? Do you need anything? Can you see me? Do you know where you are?” Momo let out a barrage of questions that left Kaidou unsure of which one he should respond to first.
“I think I’m ok. I just need to get to a bathroom to clean up my face,” Kaidou said as he started to push himself off the floor. Momo was about to give him a hand to help his stand up, but Kaidou immediately sat back down.
“On second thought, standing up isn’t a good idea for me right now.” Kaidou looked around the room seemingly on edge about something. Momo followed his gaze, but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
“You sure? I can get you anything you need.”
Kaidou made a motion with his hand that told Momo to squat down in front of him.
“I might have ripped my shorts when bent down and fell earlier. Do you have anything I could borrow to wear home?”
Momo instantly burst out in laughter while Kaidou cradled his head in his hands.
“I’ll get you one of our cleaning uniform’s, but you have to promise me to come in for a haircut on your next day off. Deal?”
“Deal.”
