Nic resisted the urge to wrinkle his nose up in a worrisome granny kind of way when Andi alluded to their tendency towards tardiness. Although to be honest, he wasn’t surprised. Andi seemed ...a bit… disorganized in his estimation.
“You must be very good at your job then.” He offered this statement as a compliment and a jab. As if Andi needed to be very good at their job to make up for their other negative traits.
Andi teed Nic up for an explanation of his studies but he let the opportunity roll away. Shrugging much the same way they did about their preference for Macrilan. “It’s not that interesting.” He deflected. It was kind of a lie. Depending who you asked. There were certainly students at the school who found his discipline boring.
Nic had turned himself to look over the pastries displayed in a rounded glass case by the register when Andi began patting themselves down for their wallet. He wasn’t sure where he got the habit or the idea, but he felt it was polite to not stare when someone paid for something for him. He kept his attention momentarily occupied until Andi said those fateful words.
If he had a tail like his mother and (most) of his siblings it perhaps would have been twitching with annoyance. He turned his head slowly and blinked twice at Andi with a toothy frozen smile. “What.” His hand went to his hair combing back already perfect ginger locks as he stepped up to the register. “I got it then.”
He handed over a fancy looking credit card and joked at the cashier, “I promise they’re not always like this.” They both shared a laugh at Andi’s expense and Nic moved towards the end of the counter where they would await the drinks.
“So you ruin my suit and now I buy you coffee?”
