A/N: Hello! I am here again, but this time, I have come equipped with the WPrincess couple of AKB48, Matsui Rena and Kashiwagi Yuki! This time it’s a coffee shop/café AU ~
I need to stop writing fanfiction and actually get homework donePrelude – Welcome to Café Aozora
Café Aozora, located in Akihabara, Tokyo, is a quiet café. Famous for its gorgeous proprietor and staff, as well as luxurious furniture and delicious coffee, attracts quite a number of beautiful young girls into its doors.
Is there a secret to this café’s success?
Perhaps, it was due to the side job (planned and secretly advertised by the café’s youngest member Matsui Jurina and her accomplice Watanabe Mayu) that went on inside the wooden doors of the quaint café. The staff would listen to the trouble heart of the young girl’s, offering romantic advice and advances to get together with the girl of her dreams.
Or maybe, it was really just the delicious coffee.

“Welcome!”
Yuki pushed the doors of the coffee shop open, a smile on her face as she shifted the novel from one hand to the other so she could wave at the young girl behind the counter.
“Would you like the usual, Kirin-san?”
Jurina’s head popped up from behind the counter as she smiled widely at Yuki, a dirty rag in her hand flying as she waved enthusiastically. Yuki couldn’t help but smile at the familiar nickname – although she’s not quite sure where it came from to begin with.
Jurina hopped over excitedly, peering at the older girl closely and then quickly searching behind her as if looking for someone. She clicked her tongue in obvious disappointment, her lips falling to a small frown. Yuki smiled apologetically, “Mayuyu didn’t come with me today, busy with something at school she says. But, perhaps, she’ll stop by later.”
As quickly as the frown had appeared, a wide grin lit Jurina’s former frown, an invisible tail wagging behind as she nodded vigorously.
Now it was Yuki’s turn to look around, having been missing the familiar bustle and quiet of the place. “Jurina-chan, where’s everyone else?”
The younger girl shrugged, going behind the counter to ready the usual cup of coffee for Café Aozora’s most frequent customer, “Eh, Rena-chan took Yuihan to get a new shipment of melonpan and Churi, Miichan, and Yuko have the day off today.” Jurina’s trademark smile appeared as she handed the novelist a steaming cup of coffee, the white cream decorated into a small maple leaf.
“I’m sure they’ll be back soon though.”

“This is so heavy!” Yui gasped for breath as she lugged the last boxes of melonpan Rena had insisted on buying. “Did we really have to buy twenty boxes of bread?” She stared incredulously at the box of flaming red melonpan, illustriously labeled ‘Gekikara Melonpan’.
“We do what I think the customers want,” the Nagoya-born girl replied, taking a bite of her own red melonpan.
“Or what your stomach wants,” Yui grumbled as the café door shut behind her with a cling.
Rena just laughed.
“Rena, Yuihan, welcome back!” Jurina ran excitedly from behind the counter, feet tripping over each other as she rushed to confront the owner and pastry chef of the café. “I have an announcement to make!”
“That you finally kissed Mayu-chan?” Yui called from behind the stack of boxes from her arms. “Or can you actually sleep alone now.”
Jurina ignored the Kyoto girl, the smile on her face unwavering at the stingy remarks (although she made sure to stick her leg out to trip Yui as the latter walked past). Instead, she threw an arm around Yuki’s shoulders, the Chesire-like mischievous look on her face getting impossibly big.
“I decided to hire Yuki!”
Yuki sputtered coffee, pinching the bridge of her nose as the hot liquid seared inside of her naval cavities with a burning intensity. Unfazed by the actions of the overreaction queen and the little imp, Rena took the boxes from Yui’s hands and walked into the kitchen, ignoring the bewildered look on the native Kyoto girl’s face.
“You deal with this; I’m going to stack the melonpan.”
***
“Wait, let me get this straight,” Yui rubbed her temples, exasperated at the sudden rush of words from the bouncy teenager. “You and Mayu set up a couple-matching business for girls starting from yesterday. Inside of this very café.”
Jurina nodded, “That’s about right. Oh, we already set up posters and flyers, so there’s no need to worry about advertising!”
Yui groaned. Why was she forced to deal with the wild ideas of Matsui Jurina? It should be Rena’s job, not hers. Her support, Kashiwagi Yuki, had disappeared as well, having decided that a stack of melonpan would be much more interesting (and less migraine inducing) then trying to reason with a high school girl with too much energy.
“Why?”
You’re so dumb it hurts. “Why not? Isn’t it a great idea? I mean, Yuihan, come on. It’ll attract customers, plus, lots of cute girls seeking help,” Jurina smiled at the last part, obviously pleased with herself at coming up with such an ingenious plan.
Yui just sighed.
“Jurina, nobody’s going to come-“
As if on cue, the door opened with the jingling of bells. A girl stood at the entrance of the café, bewilderment and embarrassment written all over her features – and in her hands showed a crumpled flyer.
Jurina looked pointedly at Yui, a victorious smirk on her face. The latter could only stare in surprise before cradling her arms in her hands with a defeated sigh, “Well, I’ll be damned.”
A/N: Yes, ok, so the basic plot is down! First, however, I want to know who you guys want this mysterious girl to be (and whom she is in love with) ~
It can be basically anyone except for people that work at the store (Miichan, Rena, Yui, Yuko, Jurina). Also, Paruru and Mayuyu are out of bounds because I have something planned for them later
You guys should realize how much I love YuiParu already sobs
