DR Protag. Diner AU (Protag. Roles)
Have you ever thought: hey what would happen if the DR protagonists were all waiters/waitresses?
...Just me? Okay...
I have drabbles but just to share this lil idea where the protags are all servers for a diner and flesh out the concept of their roles in the au (gonna update/edit periodically):
Shuichi:
Newest employee
Got a part-time job at the diner to help start up his own detective agency (He wants to save up despite the monetary gifts that some people do give him for helping them).
Makoto:
One of the original workers who wanted to support Byakuya’s business (even though his family’s already branched out and pretty rich)
He's the manager since Togami's usually away
Komaru:
One of the newer workers.
Got in because of nepotism (the real reason is that Komaru did Togami a favour by giving Touko a friend that took her attention away from him. If she wasn’t capable, he would’ve fired her right away.)
Hajime:
Applied because he wanted a part-time job because he’s saving up for university (he’s working hard for that scholarship but wanted some experience working in an environment).
Is now in university but still sticking at the diner, and is one of the OGs. Pretty good at his job.
Predictably short-tempered and usually deals with the more rowdy customers.
Has met Komaeda during high school, did NOT get along well at first, but now he just banters with him. They’re flirting, they’re not mad at each other. They could prob act less… charged about it though [it’s the fact that they’re not dating yet probably].
Kaede:
Helped Shuichi get his job.
She’s fairly new but got along well with Makoto, so it was easy for Makoto to bring up Shuichi’s resume to Togami. Togami obviously approves, but only after an interview where Togami trolls Shuichi by having Makoto act as the owner (he almost practically is) and interview him, and then see how Shuichi deals with that (kind, but firm about the lie, which he respects).
Kaede herself is a huge sunshine girl, but definitely doesn’t take anybody’s shit. She’s awesome and friendly.
Why is she working at the diner despite her passion for piano? It’s not for very long. She wanted experience in a “real job” just to see how she’d fare, and relate a little more to others around her. On the few days she’s not working, you’ll find her performing or practicing
