Today couldn’t be going by any slower. It was already bad enough that you had to cover your manager’s shift, because she decided to go into labor. But now it was snowing outside. All of this wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t work in an ice cream parlor. So there you were, textbooks sprawled out all over the counter, bored out of your mind cause you were stuck at work during the first snowfall of the year, because who in their right mind was going to by ice cream while it was snowing outside. At least, though, now you could study for your chemistry mid term that was at the end of the week.

You had just turned the page in one of your many notebooks when the bell that hung over the front door chimes. With a confused look, you glance up at the door only to feel your heart skip. Standing in the doorway were two guys. One looked like he was no older then thirteen with messy raven black hair and chocolate brown eyes. However it was the boy that had made your heart skip. It was the guy standing next to him. He was about a head taller then the boy but had the same brown eyes and black hair as him, from what you could see from the bit of hair that peeked out from under his San Fransokyo Ninja baseball cap. This wasn’t the first time you had laid eyes on this young man. You had seen him around school. He was also in your Intro to Robotics class.

Since first laying eyes on Tadashi Hamada, you had wanted to work up the courage to go and say hi. However, every time you would finally get enough his four friends would materialize out of nowhere and your courage would disappear. But now when you least expected it, the guy you’ve had this giant secret crush on for months, was standing in the door to ice cream parlor you work at with an adorable smile on his face.

“Why are we hear again?” the younger boy whines dusting snow off of his shoulders.

Tadashi rolls his eyes as he takes his cap off and blows snow off of it. “Because it’s tradition, Hiro. Every year during the first snow fall we go and get ice cream,” he reminds the boy, who you know guess was his little brother. If how much they looked alike was any clue.

Hiro groans as he shrugs off his jacket. “I heard you the first thousand times. But don’t you think we are getting a little old for all of this?”

A laugh escapes Tadashi’s lips, causing your heart to jump once more. “Are you telling me that you are to old for ice cream? I guess this means no more of our weekly Sundae crawl during summer,” he smirks.

You had to suppress a giggle when you see Hiro pale at his big brother’s words. “Hey now. No need to do anything drastic!” he cries with wide eyes.

This time you couldn’t hold back but laugh at the young Hamada’s panic. Unfortunately this caused both boys to finally look in your direction. Heat rises in your cheeks when Tadashi’s chocolate eyes lock with your (e/c) ones. A smile crosses his face only causing your blush to deepen.

“Glad to see that you don’t amuse just me there knucklehead,” he teases not taking his eyes off of you.

Hiro narrows his eyes at his brother. But when he realized that Tadashi wasn’t looking at him, he opts to punching him in the arm instead. The older Hamada flinches and grabs his arm, his eyes finally drops from yours. You out a breath, which you hadn’t realized, you were holding.

Tadashi glares down at his little brother. Hiro just smiles up at him, a proud look on his face.

“Are you guys going to order anything?” you finally say a big smile on your face. Tadashi was turning out to be even cuter then you had originally thought.

The Hamada brothers look at you once more. Tadashi smiles again at you. “I will but apparently his guy is to old for ice cream,” he laughs resting his elbow on Hiro’s head.

Hiro grumbles and pushes his brother’s arm from his head. “Never said I was to old for ice cream just this stupid tradition!” he corrects himself with a slight pout.

You laugh slightly as you move some of your books to the side. “In that case what can I get you guys on this snowy afternoon?” you ask standing from the stool you were sitting on.

Tadashi and Hiro finally make their way over to the counter. They look at all the varieties of ice cream. Right away you knew that this was their first time here because of the looks on their faces. The looks that meant they were beyond overwhelmed with the choices. You see your shop was different then others. Not only did a customer have to choose what ice cream they wanted, from the nineteen flavors, but they also had to choose from the multitude of mixing’s to put in their ice cream. Once they did you would mix their combination on this giant chilled counter. A small chuckle leaves your lips as you watched them take everything in.

You walk over to the display were all the giant tubs of ice cream was held and lean against it. Tadashi glances up at you, a small smile appearing on his lips. Except the second your eyes lock his cheeks redden slightly and he goes back to looking at the ice cream.

“Just throwing this out there but I’m guessing you’ve never been here before,” you say leaning your elbow on the glass and your chin in your hand.

His time Tadashi keeps his eyes on you. “Whatever gave it away?”

You smile playfully at him as you rest both your arms on the glass. “Well the looks of wow and confusion are a dead give away,” you tell him with a wink.

Tadashi’s smile widens and a laugh escapes him. Hiro finally peels his eyes away from the ice cream to glance at his brother then you and back. He rolls his eyes and turns back to the ice cream.

“Then maybe you could give us the low down on how it works here. That way we can figure out what we want," he suggests in, what you can only describe as, a flirty tone. But why would Tadashi be flirting with you?

Apparently this didn't go unnoticed by Hiro because he rolls his eyes. You decide to ignore him and stay focused on Tadashi. "Well first you choose a size, then a flavor and then last but not least what you want in it," you explain pointing at each step as you go.
The brothers seem to find your walk through to be very helpful because pretty soon they had made up their minds. It took you no time at all to get their orders on the chilled counter. Once you started mixing them, at high speed, you have to suppress a laugh. Tadashi and Hiro stare at you with wide eyes and mouths hanging open.

"Did you have to go to some sort of special school to learn how to do that?" Tadashi asks as you gracefully scoop the ice cream into a cone.

A blush crosses your face as his compliment sinks in. "N-No not really. Just a lot of practice," you mumble, handing them their treats.

Tadashi locks his eyes once more to your, a smile spreading on his face. You feel your blush deepen as you slowly make your way over to the till. He follows you over, only to notice your textbooks all over the counter. "Hey! You go to SFIT?"

You nod slowly as you punch their order into the computer. "Ya. W-We actually have a class together," you confess quietly.

The older Hamada's eyes grow wide again and a slight blush appears on his cheek. "We do? Which one?"

"Intro to Robotics . . ." you tell him, dropping your gaze from his.

Tadashi narrows his eyes at you to try and place you. After a few minutes of awkward silence his smile grow wide and you could swear you see a light bulb go off over his head. "Oh Ya! You’re (Name) right? You sit near the back," he states his smile returning.

Unable to form anymore words you simple nod. Tadashi knows your name and where you sit in class. Surely this was a dream. If it was you never wanted to wake up. "And your Tadashi Hamada. You sit two rows from the front," you say finally getting your voice back.

His smile grows as he nods, confirming you claim. "Well it's nice to meet you officially, (Name).”

“You too Tadashi,” you smile sweetly back; your (e/c) eyes not leaving his.

Hiro continues to lick his ice cream as he gives you and his brother weird looks. After a couple minutes of you and Tadashi just smiling at one another, he rolls his eyes. "God! Will you just ask her out already? You guys are making me sick!" he groans making both of your faces go red.

Tadashi turns to his little brother with the most horrified look on his face. "W-What are you talking about?" he asks, his face now the colour of the red velvet ice cream.

"You can't tell me that it's the ice cream your drooling over," Hiro smirks before turning to you. "My brother here really likes ice cream but not this much. Which can only mean that he likes you."

Your own blush deepens as you look down at the young Hamada. Could what he said true. Could Tadashi, the guy you had the biggest crush on, actually like you back? Out of the corner of your eyes you see Tadashi giving his brother a look that can only be describe as I am so going to kill you. This only confirmed Hiro’s words. Your heart skips in your chest at the thought.

“I am going to kill you for this Hiro!” Tadashi growls as he takes a step towards his brother.

Hiro takes his own step back. “That’s my cue!” he laughs before turning to you. “Thanks for the ice cream (Name). Maybe we’ll see you around the café real soon.” He then runs out the door before his brother could go through with his threat.

You couldn’t help but chuckle at Hiro. He definitely took the annoying younger brother role seriously. Tadashi turns back to you when he hears you laugh.

The second his eyes land on you a smile breaks out on his face. “Sorry about my little brother, Hiro. He can be such a knucklehead sometimes,” he says with a lopsided smile.

Suddenly your heart drops. Maybe Hiro was only being a knucklehead and Tadashi really doesn’t like you. “So . . . does that mean you don’t like me?” you surprisingly ask him. As you tuck a piece of hair behind your ear, you drop your eyes down to the counter.

His face reddens once more and he starts to shuffle back and forth. “Well I never said that,” he says moving his eyes back to you.

Once again you feel heat start to rise in your cheeks. Never in your life had you ever blushed this much. But how could you not with Tadashi acting so beyond adorable. A smile crosses your face again. “Then what were you say?”
He smiles and takes a step closer to the counter. “I was going to say that I was wondering if you would like to go to coffee after class tomorrow?” he asks leaning towards you.

Your eyes grow wide as his words sink in. Did he just ask you out? Now you were positive this was a dream. “A-Are you asking me out?”

Tadashi leans against the counter so his face was inches way from yours. “Yes I am. So what do you say?” he smiles down at you.

Your voice gets caught in your throat. He really was asking you out! This truly was a dream come true! You notice Tadashi giving you a curious look and that’s when you realize you haven’t answered him yet. So you nod your head. “Yes, I would really like that,” you chime happily.

His smile grows and you were pretty sure that he was trying really hard not to do a happy dance right then and there. Instead he just smiles at you. “Great then I’ll meet you after class tomorrow.”

“I’ll see you then,” you say before leaning across the counter and placing a kiss to his cheek.

Tadashi’s eyes grow wide as you pull away. His face is also once again red. You cover your mouth to suppress a laugh. Apparently unable to say anything else Tadashi just starts to smile like a dork as he makes his way to the door. He even trips over one of the chairs. Before he leaves he turns and gives you a wave, which you happily return. Once he was gone you let out a schoolgirl squeal. You were going out with Tadashi Hamada tomorrow! Which means for once you were actually looking forward to going to class.
You're stuck at work during the first snow fall of the year. Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't work at an ice cream parlor. But things start to look up when you get your first customers of the day.

This is my first BH6 fan fic so I would love to hear what you guys think!
