If Andi had possessed ears of their own, they would have pinned backwards at the sight of that metered grin. It showed too much teeth and it didn’t reach his ears. Nic was clearly unhappy with them, not that they could blame him at all. Mirroring his gesture, they pushed a hand through their hair as well. They way he said ‘what.’ It wasn’t a question. Just a vocalization of his disbelief. He stood straighter, and while already petite, Andi felt impossibly small in front of him.
“Whoops.” They grimaced as the final ‘s’ of the word continued to sound from them in a bit of a hiss. They tried to grin. Cute. Charming. There was something endearing in all of this wasn’t there? Andi knew that was not at all the case in reality and that their expression probably resembled something closer to a grimace of pain.
Nic was already paying, and sharing a joke with the barista. Andi would have pretended to chuckle along if they weren’t already too busy trying not to look petulant. “You didn’t have to buy my coffee,” they countered. They knew they probably sounded too defensive. He's probably joking, their brain reminded them, but the continued to bite back. “You could have just gotten yours. And honestly I feel like the suit is just as much your fault.”

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.
