Andi blinked back at him as he protested their gratitude. “Uhh…” They didn’t really know what else to say. Profuse ‘thank yous’ had seemed sufficient enough, but apparently not for Nicholas. Even his name was fancy. He didn’t even seem real, honestly. Like he just stepped out of the pages of a fancy fashion magazine. Nic wasted no time resolving their initial confusion as he segued into a conversation about coffee.
He was inviting them to coffee?
Or inviting himself to coffee? With them.
“Uh, sure,” they agreed lamely. Andi wasn’t used to not having the upper hand in the conversation. Usually they were verbose and charming, but something about Nicholas had them all flustered. They eyed their coffee cup; they would have just shoved it in the microwave to be honest, because he was absolutely right about them. For Andi, coffee was just a vehicle for caffeine and a replacement for breakfast. Their beverages usually had too much sugar and chocolate and other additions, to even really be considered coffee.
Blue eyes returned to Nic, who seemed very smug about something. Andi very well knew that they didn’t have to agree to his proposal, but they didn’t see any reason not to. “Okay.” They grabbed the old coffee and tossed the whole cup in the trash beneath their desk. “Let’s go, then.” They tried to keep the challenge out of their words. Low-key daring him to commit to his own idea; suggesting he had just been saying it to mess with them. “I know a really good place.” Turning off their computer they grabbed a leather bomber jacket off the back of their chair and put it on They rounded the desk and walked past Nic and towards the door.
“So, can I ask where you were headed in such a hurry yesterday?” They asked to make conversation as they strolled down the sidewalk.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
