coffee shop au
With the day you had, you needed caffeine. A lot of it. You didn't get any sleep last night, you slept in too late because your alarm didn't go off, and your boss was relentlessly asking for more work from you. Luckily, your favorite coffee shop was just around the corner of your apartment. Just thinking of the warm beverage made you smile dreamily.
You push the door to the coffee shop open to be met with a strong aroma of coffee beans and tea leaves. Business was fairly slow at the moment, only one or two people quietly drinking their coffees. The serenity and near silence of the cafe made you relax almost instantly. You had been here so many times, you didn't need to even glance at the menu before ordering. Walking up to order the largest possible (drink), you notice that you've never seen the boy behind the counter before. To be honest, he looked like a delinquent. He gave off he kind of aura that he was too cool for anyone here.
Not that you minded.
You walk up to the counter without falter. He looks up at you from the cash register, greeting you. Pink tinges the tips of his ears as he thinks about how cute you are. Then you smile. You fucking smile. The boy is lost, but you don't notice. He was completely out of it. You were dazzling. Stunning, even. His blush spreads to his cheeks as he continues to think about how cute you are. You had nice taste in clothing too. And he was sure your voice was as sweet as your smile. Wait.
Your voice.
You were talking.
And he didn't catch a word of it.
He tunes himself back in with enough time for the "please". That please was the best thing he had ever heard in his life. It was soft like velvet. Too bad he was going to look like an ass. Sorry, pretty girl whose name he never got.
"Uh... I'm sorry. I- uh- I kind of zoned out... what would- what would you like?" he stutters. He felt so embarrassed and rude. You probably hate him.
"Oh, it's fine," you laugh, "Can I have a (drink) to go please?"
He smiles at your easy forgiveness. Nodding, he goes to make your drink. He takes his time to make sure it's perfect without making you wait too long. He hands you your drink, which you smile as you take.
"I hope you like me- it! I hope you like it..." He mentally curses at himself. Why was the world so cruel? He can't help but internally groan at the raised eyebrow you shoot him. He probably creeped you out big time. It quickly fades back into a sweet, small smile.
"Thanks... Tanaka," you read as you peer at his name tag. He blushes once again. The way his name sounded when you said it took him to Cloud 9. He could only imagine the heart stopping effect it'd have if you called him "Tanaka-senpai". He'd be six feet under in no time. He nods quickly in acknowledgement. He watches as you begin to walk out the door with your coffee. He wishes you would stay. You take a sip from your drink as you reach the door, unflinching at the scalding heat.
"Ah, this is good!" you murmur to yourself. It was still loud enough for Tanaka to hear. The biggest smile in the world smacks its way on his face as his soul leaves his body in pure ecstasy. Let's hope he doesn't regret putting his number on your cup.
