Nic’s words didn’t match his tone. In fact they clashed together horribly in a manner that continued to make Andi feel worse as this interaction dragged on. They could not think of a time that they had made a worse impression on a singular person. They quickly ordered a drip coffee without any of their usual bullshit add-ins. They’d just settle for cream and sugar at the self-service bar as to not further be judged by their smug company.
They waited sullenly for the order, with their hands shoved into their jacket. “That’s fine,” they agreed quickly to settle the matter of the suit. They didn’t know if they’d survive talking about the ruined garment any longer. They removed one hand to accept the coffee from Nic.
“Why would you want to be friends?” They asked without thinking, somehow forgetting the confident airs that they usually put on around people - especially practical strangers. She didn’t know anything about Nic, because his name and that he seemed rather put together. Just that simple fact was the polar opposite of Andi themselves. Blue eyes glanced at him, then skirted away as they took a sip. Apparently deciding against cream and sugar, too.
“I should probably get back to work,” they said as if to save him from having to respond to their previous question. Or interact with them at all for that matter.

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.
