------------------------
You got up really early because today is Thursday and the first day at your new job. You made breakfast for yourself and the rest of the Matsuno family and left behind a note. Then you sprinted outside and ran excitingly to the café.
....
"Waaaah I forgot where it is!!" You cried and ran in different directions. You panicked because of the unfamiliar area and then decided to ask for directions. You spotted a woman down the street not to far from where you were standing. She had a pink long sleeve shirt, green skirt and her hair was tied in two pigtails.

"Excuse me!" You yelled and got her attention.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Um do you know where the Lucky Clover café is?" You asked and showed her a flyer.
"Oh that place? Yeah! I was just heading down there to sign up for their karaoke night. I'm an aspiring idol after all." She said and gave off a sparkling aura.

"Idol?" You asked.

"Mmhm! I want to gather as many fans as possible, fanboys and fangirls basking in my glory." She continued and entered a dreamy state, which made you sweatdrop.

"Uh, ok..whatever floats your boat." You said. You checked your phone and started freaking out again.
"Ahhhh, I'm gonna be late!" You exclaimed.
"Um miss, I don't mean to interrupt your er moment but I really need directions." You said urgently.

"Oh? Right follow me." She said and you obediently followed.
----------------------------
The brothers all got up an hour after you left and they did their usual routines.

"Hey has anyone seen (Y/N)-chan?" Todomatsu asked. They all looked at him with a blank look like they have forgotten something.

"Doesn't her job start today?" Choromatsu asked. They all just shrugged and ate the breakfast you left them in contentment.
-------------------------------

You entered the café just in the nick of time.
"I'm here!" You exclaimed.

"Ah just in time, we have your uniform in the back." The woman said.
"Alright so introductions, I shall be your co-worker and aid in serving tables. My name is Kirisaki Yuna, but call me Yuna." She said and bowed.
"Thank you! My name is (L/N) (Y/N) and it'll be a pleasure working with you Yuna-san." You exclaimed and bowed back.

"Um excuse me.." The other girl next to you spoke up.
'Ah, I forgot she was here.' You thought.
"Yes? Are you a customer? We don't open until 9 am but we'd be happy to let you stay here." Your co-worker responded.

"No I'm not a customer. I was wondering about your karaoke night tonight. You see I wanted to book an idol show here tonight." The girl explained.

"Hm, well we never had anyone perform an idol show so why not? It could bring in customers." Yuna said.

"Yay!" The girl cheered.

"What's your name by the way? I'll let the manager know." Yuna asked.

"My name is Totoko! Aspiring idol!" She exclaimed and shook Yuna's hand.

'Totoko? Didn't Osomatsu mention a name like that? Eh I'm probably imagining things.' You thought.

"Congrats Totoko-chan, I'm looking forward to your show later." You said.
"Thank you, uh.." She trailed off.
"(L/N) (Y/N)." You finished for her.

"(Y/N)-chan, you'll cheer me on tonight  right?" She asked.
"Um sure!" You said and she smiled.

"Yay! Well I'll go prepare for tonight ja~" She waved and went through the door.
"That was...interesting." You commented. You went into the back room and changed into your uniform, which was just a simple dress shirt and black pencil skirt with an apron tied around you waist.

"(Y/N) we're opening now, you might want to step into the kitchen." Yuna said.

"Ok." You said and prepared yourself.
----------------------------

The morning was actually pretty busy, there were a bunch of different people entering and leaving. Men, women, girls, boys, couples, etc. You rushed around between serving and entering the kitchen. Luckily you came up with a plan to prepare things ahead of time, and Yuna was always there to lend a hand. She was pretty fast herself with taking and serving orders and it impressed you. She was like Sonic the Hedgehog as a waitress. Everyone even complemented what you made and all the positive comments boosted your confidence.

"It's almost noon." You commented looking at the clock. Noon was your break time. You decided that you would start your break early and left the kitchen to another worker.

"Ok I have at least an hour for a break." You said.

The door opened, which caught your attention and in walked Osomatsu grumbling to himself.

"Selfish bastards...not wanting to hang with their older brother." He grumbled.

"Osomatsu-san?" You got his attention.

"Ah! (Y/N)-chan, so this is where you were." He said and waved.
You sweatdropped, "Uh yeah, did you forget that I got a job here?" You asked.

"Oh yeah." He replied nonchalantly.

"Why are you grumbling to yourself?" You asked.

"Hear me out (Y/N)-chan! My brothers are being so mean. They don't want to hang out with me even though I'm bored and have nothing to do." He cried and clung to you, and you pushed him off.

"Well...it's kinda their choice of what they want to do Osomatsu-san." You said.

"I'm on my break so I could hang out with you." You said. He immediately perked up and sparkled.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes, I have an hour total." You said.

"Yes!" He cheered.

"Um how about we just hang out here. I made some more parfaits if you want." You offered.

"Yes please!" He cheered even louder.
"Don't make a scene." You scolded.

'Wait this scene...seems like a date.' Osomatsu thought and grinned.
-----------------------------

"Ne, (Y/N)-chan what's it like working?" He asked.
"Eh it's nothing really complicated." You responded.

"Doesn't it get boring?" He asked.
"Even so I need to work hard and get that restaurant." You said determined.

"You seem set on getting that restaurant (Y/N)-chan." He commented and plopped the spoon into his mouth.
"Yes, I've worked myself to the bone day and night. Even in America I found myself part time jobs, this is all for her sake." You said unconsciously and got Osomatsu curious.

"For whose sake?" He asked.
"Nothing nothing." You waved him off.

"What was it like in America?" He asked.
"The people were a lot more wild there compared to here. But they were nice too. There were a lot of great places to visit too." You said.
"Heeeeh." He sighed out and tried to imagine it.

"Are you coming tonight for karaoke?" You asked.
"Karaoke?" He asked back.
"Yeah apparently this café has a karaoke night every Thursday. And someone named Totoko is performing an idol show." You said and ate some of the cream.

Osomatsu froze and dropped his spoon.
"Osomatsu?" You called concerned.

"Totoko-chan's performing here?!" He exclaimed.
"Yes why are freaking out?!" You asked, but he ignored.

"So who is this Totoko-chan?" You asked.
"She's just our childhood friend, who we all might have a crush on, but she rejects us anyway." He said.

"Oh really..." You trailed off and looked at him weirdly.
'I can kind of see why she would reject you.' You thought but didn't dare to say out loud.
"I'm definitely coming tonight." He said.
"Um great." You deadpanned. You two continued to eat your parfaits and talk  until your break ended.

"Well time to work again." You said.
"Ehhhh already?!" He asked.

"Yes, I'll be working until 8 pm when karaoke's over. It'll be starting at 5 pm." You explained.
"Ok then I'll see you again tonight." He said and grinned at you.

"Sure thing." You smiled back at him.
"Bye bye (Y/N)-chan! Thanks for the date!" He exclaimed and winked at you before he walked out.

"Bye Osomat..su...san. Wait...did..he..say DATE?!" You exclaimed in both shock and confusion.
------------------------

You worked continuously and also thought about what Osomatsu said.

'He said date, he definitely said date. But why would he say that? Maybe he was just teasing me, yeah that's it.' You thought while giving out people's orders.

Finally it was 5 pm and the stage opened up for Karaoke. People volunteered and sang their hearts out no matter how bad they were.

"So is it true that Totoko-chan is going to perform?!" You heard a familiar voice ask. You turned and saw all 6 brothers there.

"Well hello there boys." You greeted.

"Ah, (Y/N)-chan!" Jyushimatsu exclaimed.

"You look pretty good in that uniform.~" Karamatsu said and winked.

"There's a free table and menus set up for you. I was expecting you'd all be here for Totoko-chan tonight?" You asked.

"Y-yes." Choromatsu answered with a blushing face.

You giggled, "Well she'll be on in a few minutes. Come on." You said and lead them to the table. You took note of what drinks they wanted and served them.

"(Y/N) you're requested in the back room." Yuna told you.

"Ah, ok be right there." You said and went through the door to see Totoko. And she was wearing a...fish costume.

'What the hell is that?! Her outfit could outmatch Lady Gaga in the weirdness department.' You thought.

"Um.." You cleared your throat. "You wanted to see me Totoko-chan?" You asked.

"Ah, yes (Y/N)-chan I need help zipping this up in the back." She said and you helped her. While also being weirded out by the fact that she was dressed as a freaking fish.

"Thank you! I'm excited, I might have a chance to gain some fans here!" She said.

"You've never had any fans before?" You asked.

"No only those virgin NEETS, never any real fans. And those who came to my shows only came for fish." She said and looked like she was about to cry.

'I...don't know what to say to that.' You thought.

"Well I'll cheer you on Totoko-chan, as a fan." You encouraged.

"Really?" She asked.

"Sure why not?" You said a little hesitant.

"Alrighty then I'll give it my all for you my first fan!" She exclaimed.

"Good luck!" You exclaimed and she went out the door waving.

Once she was out of the room you sweatdropped.
"Seriously a fish? What the actual hell?"

You walked out the door and the sight waiting for you made you stiffen.

"Please don't rip off my scales, my heart is full~"

"ONE SERVING OF SQUID!

"Love is an illusion~"

"FISH DRIED OVERNIGHT!"

"All people breath through gills~"

"GLUB GLUB GLUB YAY!!"

"YOU'RE SO CUTE TOTOKO-CHAN!" Choromatsu screamed. All the other males joined in and screamed and fanboyed. The NEETS being the loudest. Totoko took in the glory and just waved and smiled.

"Thank you everyone!" She said and giggled.

You just looked at the scene in complete silence with a weird look in you eyes. But even you had to admit she looked and sang adorably. She looked your way and you just gave a thumbs up while grinning. You walked into the back room and met with Totoko again.

"Well looks like you had people cheering for you." You said.

"Mmhm I'm happy. Maybe I should perform here instead of my parent's fish shop." She said and her eyes sparkled.

'Well that explains the fish theme.' You thought.

"Well you did really well, you're really cute." You said.
"Thanks." She said.
"I should probably get back to work." You bid her goodbye and headed back to finish your hours.
----------------------------

"Well after that performance we're nearing the end of karaoke night. So those who want to get up and sing this so your last chance." Yuna announced. She then got off the stage and ran up to you.

"Well.." She said.

"Well what?" You asked and raised a brow.

"Go ahead and sing." She said.

"Hehehe, you're funny. That's not happening." You said.

"Come on you've been doing nothing but working. Just take a break and sing a bit." Yuna urged.

"I don't sing." You said simply.

"Come oooonnn." She whined and shook you.

"And what would I sing exactly?" You challenged.

"Choose your own song." She said. You sighed and just decides to abide by her wishes.
You thought hard for a moment and decided on a song.

"Alright fine." You said and she cheered. Yuna ran up to the stage and got the mike.

"Ok you guys, we're having a very special singer up here. Our new employee, (L/N) (Y/N)!" She exclaimed and pulled you on stage.

"Hehe hi everyone." You waved nervously.

"Ehhhhh (Y/N)-chan's performing?!" Osomatsu exclaimed. You ignored his remark and continued.

"Um this song is certainly different from the ones here in Japan. It's called (fave song) My friend from America introduced me to it and I liked it so...I hope you do too I guess." You said and cleared your throat awkwardly. You got your phone out and put it into the speakers and then projected the lyrics onto a screen behind you.

(Now I'm going to stray away from regular fanfic writers and do something different. This shall be your singing voice or something similar to that. And yes it's an Indian artist, you can sing this song if you want or just your (fave song) all it is is a reference.)

The music started and you took a deep breath. You sang your (fave song) with such a sweet voice. All the males stared at you but you didn't notice because you had your eyes closed. You were so busy singing that you didn't notice the expression of the NEETS. They looked in awe and amazement at your talent and the emotion you put into the song moved them. You finished the song and expected a bad response, instead all you got were loud cheers.

"Uh thank you." You said and waved awkwardly. You walked off stage and sighed heavily.

"(Y/N)-chan!" You saw the sextuplets running towards you.

"That was amazing!" Osomatsu exclaimed.

"You're voice suits you." Karamatsu said.

"I-I-It was g-good (Y/N)-chan." Choromatsu said and blushed.

"Your voice is...pretty." Ichimatsu said quietly and avoided your gaze.

"(Y/N)-chan I love your singing yay yay!" Jyushimatsu exclaimed.

"I loved that song of yours (Y/N)-chan, you sang so well." Todomatsu praised.

"It was pretty good." Totoko said.

"Hehehe, thanks guys. Although nothing compared to yours Totoko." You said and rubbed the back of your head sheepishly.

You got back to work and earned praise from all sorts of people. Finally the whole thing closed at 8 pm and you went home with the brothers exhausted yet satisfied.
