CLOSED STARTER FOR @iridcscentmvscs FT. EMMETT & LYRA

from the moment the blonde walked in, his eyes landed on her. emmett was leaned against the bar, more than interested about what a girl like her was doing there. she was very clearly out of place and maybe that was her appeal. the older man made a bee line for her and approached her with a kind smile stretched across his face. "good evening," he started, eyes focused on her, "i don't think i've seen you around here before. did you want a tour of sorts or maybe a drink?"

emmett had been in the kitchen from the time he opened up shop up until this moment and they were busy and that’s why he had to leave the kitchen to hand out food. they were slowing down but hardly and it made him feel good that people liked his food as much as they did. he placed the plates down and then looked up to smile at the customers before pausing for a moment, his heart racing. he shook it off and then forced the smile onto his face, “hey peter. how are you?” he asked, trying not to make it awkward.

“it feels weird not to be hanging out at my diner for once.” he chuckled as he sat at the bar his best friend was working at. he was here to hang out and here to keep him company for a little while. emmett almost feels like he never gets to see the guy anymore and he’s almost positive that it’s because the diner’s open most of the day and by the time it closes, gabriel’s here at the bar. “anyways, how have you been? find a way to get rid of those hangovers? i know they’re pretty regular with your customers buying you drinks in all. would it really kill your tips if you told them no?”

emmett walked into milo’s office, a place he was at almost as much as his restaurant and it was almost embarrasing how much he was here because he was sure milo knew that was wasn’t just here for the therapy anymore. he was here for more than just that.  he sat down on the couch and made himself comfortable, his eyes scanning over milo’s face. “you know,”  he cleared his throat, his hands resting on top of his stomach. “it’s probably unprofessional for me to suggest this but instead of talking here in your office, you should come to my diner and try my food some time.” he spoke, wondering if he was going to reject his offer or accept it but he hoped it’d be the later of the two.

“alright,” emmett started, looking up at his friend as he set down a box of ingredients. “is there anything specific you wanted to make or did you just want to start out with something simple like a cake?” he asked, pulling things out of the box. he didn’t have everything a lot of things in his kitchen at home and that was mostly because he spent most of his time cooking at the diner. “i’m pretty good at decorating too but i don’t know if you want me to push that all you.” he chuckled. “anyways, what we do is up to you. what do you want to learn how to bake for anyways?”

“you don’t have to stay late and help me close, you know? i know you want to go see your girlfriend.” emmett teased. he liked having a good relationship with all of his employees and he knew he didn’t have a life but they did and none of his employees should be forced to stay here with him if he could do it on his own. “either way, i appreciate you working so hard. i know we’re a little understaffed but i’m looking for a couple of new waitresses. i promise.”

emmett was closing up shop by himself, which wasn’t unusual. he moved to turn off the open sign and locked the door when someone stood on the other side. he pushed it open, only slightly, and gave the person an apologetic smile. “sorry, i’m closing up shop for the night.” he informed them.

the last thing on emmett’s mind was who could possibly walk in his diner. there were plenty of places to eat in new york and millions of people in the city. how could the one person he didn’t care to see walk in? he wasn’t sure - but she did. his eyes landed on roxanna as he walked out of the kitchen. he was coming out to check on every one while the other chef continued to make everyone’s food. he stared at her but only for a moment before deciding that he should be civil. he forced a smile onto his face and approached her table, “hey,” he paused, “it’s been a while, hasn’t it? i can’t believe you’re here.”
