Work Text:

"Welcome home, mast- Vox?"

Ike was about to finish the catchphrase he always said when a new customer entered the café, however he stopped in the middle of it once he saw the face of who it was. A very familiar face to be exact.

Vision blurring for a seconds, the one with the glasses stared into the empty space with question marks displaying on his face as the male he clearly didn't expect to be there was holding back his laughter.

It took Ike a few blinks and seconds to fully realise that it was the heartthrob of his school passing by at the little maid café he was working in.

And no, nobody was supposed to know of the way how he earned his money. Though you can't really blame him, it was an easy and nice way of getting some bucks to support your family, apart from the fact that being a maid at a café sometimes was strange because of it being comparatively uncommon.

"Didn't expect the student council president to have 'such' a job. Looks a lot diffrent from our green school uniform." The black haired cockily said while scanning Ike in his maid dress from head to toe, taking his sweet time to observe the little details of the maid dress. The length of the dress and on top of that the stockings were especially teasing.

The spiky words of the handsome black haired lingering and echoing in his head – he was especially provoked by Vox referring to him as 'student council president' – Ike continued to feel helpless, being glued to the spot. Somehow the shock turned to embarrassment and the embarrassment turned to anger.

No one was supposed to see him like this. To see him working 'there'. Particularly not someone from his school and specifically not the guy named Vox Akuma, the one who was every girl's crush because of his "stunning" looks and "extraordinary" voice. If you asked Ike, he didn't view it like that at all.

"What? Cat got your tongue? I thought you're supposed to be professional, Ike." Vox just continued to tease with a big smile on his face as he stepped fully into the café to look around the place. The already provoked smaller felt even more irritated, he couldn't stand the sound of the too confident voice.

Out of frustration Ike clenched the apron of his dress, wrinkling it in the process. His boss – she sure did have a sweet side but she could be very scary sometimes – would scold him for ruining the dress and for having to iron it.

"Hey, are you okay?" Someone behind Ike asked, thus pulling the male with the blue hair tips out of his overwhelmed state. It was a male with silver hair and blue eyes, those eyes were currently fixated on Ike with a worried and gentle look in it, the name of his co-worker was Mysta.

"Y-yeah, everything's fine." Ike assured, beaming a kind smile at Mysta while at the same time furrowing his brows and silencing Vox with his eerie glances here and then.

"Tell me if you need help." Mysta offered again to which Ike just nodded. The silver haired knew which creeps sometimes showed up at the maid café, clearly violating the rules they had there to protect the employees. People like that were simply the worst. Signalling Mysta that he could get back to his work, Ike then turned to the unexpected visitor.

Feeling bothered by Vox' phrasing and quite challenged by his words of not being 'professional', Ike put a heartwarming smile on his face and spoke: "May I accompany you to your seat, master?"

Taking aback by the smaller's sudden change of tone, the black haired had to swallow. To be honest, he knew Ike was quite professional, he was the student council president of his school after all, still he didn't expect this reaction when he appeared unannounced at his secret workplace. He got his composure back pretty quickly.

Ike could have a bit of a temper, many in school would often describe him as 'intimidating'. That's why many perceived him as untouchable and always on top of everyone else.

Who would've thought Vox would discover his secret so easily? And on top of that a very sweet side? To be fair, it was kind of a coincidences Vox found out about his job.

Following the maid deeper inside the café, he was led to the table, so he sat down on the velvety upholstered red chair with a dark wooden frame.

Even if his original main intention was to tease Ike about his secret job and exposing him to his school, his objective soon started to change. Somehow all together, the café, the ambiance and the workers piped his interest for some strange reason. After all he wouldn't miss the chance to get some dessert and a nice tea to drink. Maybe he wouldn't like to miss the chance to glance at Ike in a maid dress either.

The black haired additionally received a nicely written menu by a cheerful Ike, chanting some cute phrases and in the end dashing off faster than one could look to the backroom which was the wardrobe for the employees to change clothes or to freshen up.

Apart from the fact that Ike was accustomed to all these kind of things like serving customers, saying cute stuff – it was his job after all – still, it felt beyond odd to serve Vox, the student of the school he was attending.

"Ike you've been behaving strangely. Who's that guy?" A familiar male with a cute voice  asked as he entered the backroom to stop his eyes on Ike hiding behind his hands. Another co-worker had noticed Ike's discomfort, the urge to check on the uneasy maid growing by every second as they watched the awkward interaction of the black haired and the maid with the glasses.

"Even Sonny was worried, he also noticed." The maid in front of Ike commented again with a frown.

"He's someone from my school. Ugh- this feels like a bad dream. He'll tell everyone I'm  working here and then-" "Ike listen, it'll be okay. We can always blackmail him?." The concerned maid with the brown hair and heterochromatic eyes spoke as he shook Ike's shoulders. He knew about Ike's financial difficulties and about his job being a secret.

"Alban please this is no time for jokes." The one with the glasses whined in despair, now hiding himself even more behind his hands as the realisation hit him, resulting in his embarrassment getting more intense.

A pout formed on Aban's lips as he pondered about it for a second with his hand on his chin: "Theeen... just talk to him. I'm sure he'll understand-" "No he won't, you don't know him he's so- uuuughh" Ike interrupted Alban as a frustrated sound escaped his in thin line pressed lips.

"Well boss Mika will kill us if we keep slacking off in the wardrobe-" "Alban, Ike?" Mysta asked as he sticked his head inside the room, his gaze jumping from one male to the other.

The silver haired added: "I don't mean to interrupt but... we have a few customers to serve. Sonny and I can't serve them all."

"Ike do you want me to take his order?" Alban proposed carefully, turning to face the door, already on his leave. "No need, I think I'll be alright, I'd admit defeat if I let you guys handle him. It'd only cause more problems." Ike assured, pushing his glasses up on his nose and standing up from the seat to follow Alban outside the room.

As soon as Ike stepped into the main area of the café, two deep yellow diamond eyes searched for his figure desperately, the owner making a relieved expression as soon as he made eye contact with Ike.

Those same eyes slowly began to sparkle as Ike got closer to the table Vox was sitting at, anticipating another conversation with the maid. It wasn't like had he never spoken to Ike at school, however every time he tried to Ike turned him down for some strange reason. People were kind of right about Ike being a tad intimidating.

But right then? Vox felt as if his heart was going to explode, not being to handle the beyond adorable sight of Ike wandering around the café with his maid dress bouncing as he put on a happy face.

"May I take your order, master?" The maid asked, taking out a piece of paper to write it down. "I'll take the chocolate cake- oh wait, maybe the omurice? Are you going to draw something cute for me-?" Vox couldn't help rambling once he saw Ike in front of him. He looked up at the end of his sentence due to the silence of the maid.

"Oh" The black haired let out immediately as he realised which expression Ike's held – let's say he wasn't particularly amused by the idea of 'drawing something cute on Vox' omurice'.

"Ok then I'll take the chocolate cake and a black tea... with milk please." Giving his order, Vox beamed a sweet smile at Ike who still wasn't having it. He felt like he was never going to recover.

With the order written down on the paper Ike was about to get back behind the counter but was interrupted but Vox' comment: "I'm sorry, I think there's something missing on the menu." Stopping in his tracks Ike turned around to face the grinning black haired.

"Or rather someone."

Shooting the cheeky student a glare, Ike left without any further word spoken. The black haired was known for his flirty remarks and whenever Ike tried having a normal conversation with him for once it always ended like this.

Frankly speaking, some comments really got him speechless – not in the good way of course. And no, it wasn't affecting him at all, there totally wasn't a small blush forming on his face. How could he say such things so casually? As the heartthrob of the school he probably smooth talked his way to basically everyone. Nevertheless, Ike wasn't an easy target.

Setting Vox' order onto the tray, Ike was about to pick it up when a familiar figure passed him. He stopped Alban in his tracks with saying "Uhm- Alban? Could you carry this to the table over there? Let's switch for a second."

Secretly pointing at the clueless black haired with his hand hidden behind the counter, Ike pleaded with an apologetic smile. After Vox' last phrase he wasn't really keen on going back to his table.

"Sure? Did something happen?" The feline like male asked as he picked up the tray to go over to the table where Vox was currently at. "No, it's fine. He's just acting like he always does, that's all." Ike explained, making eye contact with the black haired for a brief moment.

"Okay. I'm off." Alban said cheerfully, Ike's mood instantly brightening because of the cute brown haired. Only one glance was enough ro refill your energy.

Alban made his way to Vox' table, while doing so he also passed another co-worker named Sonny, winking at him briefly.

As soon as the black haired saw another maid aka Alban approaching him his face slowly went from grinning to a straight face. Someone was definitely not amused the fact of not getting served by a certain maid named Ike.

Vox then got himself to mumble a little "Thank you" as he watched Alban set down the food on his table with a smile while stirring his tea.

With a small frown Vox stared at the maid with the blue hair tips that was a bit far away, serving other customers with upturned corners of his lips and a relaxed expression.

Alban sure did noticed the longing expression on the black haired's face as he followed Vox' gaze only to stop his eyes on Ike.

"You like him don't you?" Alban teased, his mischievous grin growing even wider as he tried to hide it behind his hand. Alerted by the smaller's exposing words, Vox shot up his head to look at the smiling maid. He began to slowly and hesitantly shake his head to which Alban began laughing even more.

"You know-" Alban started and leaned down to lower his voice a bit, then he continued: "You better not spill his secret. You never saw him working here, understood? It would be a shame if he found out about your feelings, wouldn't it?"

Alban wasn't particularly kidding when he proposed the idea of blackmailing to Ike a few minutes ago in the wardrobe before. The brown haired really didn't think of it as an bad idea

Eyes widening a bit at Albans threatening words, Vox shook his head in fear. Who would've thought that a cute maid like Alban could be so intimidating? Well, to be fair the same applied to Ike.

"Enjoy your food, Master." Alban suddenly changed the topic and cheered in his cute voice as he dashed off to serve some other customers, leaving a frozen and befuddled Vox behind who was just staring at the chocolate cake, decorated with little eatable stickers and figurines.

The black haired's confusion only grew when he saw Alban approaching another maid with yellow hair to whisper something in his ear, the latter subsequently looking at Ike and then at Vox, in the end the yellow haired had to smile too. Alban turned around to winknat Vox briefly.

Well that was something.

Even if Vox did plan to do so, wanting to expose Ike in the first place to have a bit of a laugh, he couldn't bring himself to it right then, he had totally scratched that plan.

All he wanted to do was to see the happy expression of Ike's pretty face all day long. At school he always kept a straight face, having a cool and rather cold appearance.

But here? It was another loveable side of the student council president. And his cuteness was irresistible, Vox also couldn't help smiling when he had the chance to have the tiniest glance at the working maid.

So that's when another idea started forming in his ingenious mind:

He wanted to visit every day from that day on. He wanted to see more facets of the cute maid.

And most important:

He wanted to keep it their little secret.

Notes:
