When his alarm clock went off, Mytho got out of bed and started his daily routine by showering, brushing his teeth, and changing into his work uniform. He called out a small 'goodbye' to his older brother before walking out the door with his school bag on his back.
Meanwhile, Ahiru had jumped out of bed and stared at her alarm clock in disbelief before quickly running to turn on her shower. She hopped in and scrubbed off the dirt from the previous day before jumping out and changing into a pair of jean shorts and a soft yellow tank top. She pinned her hair up into a messy bun and threw on her favorite pair of orange converse. As she was running out of the house she yelled a hasty goodbye to her older sister, Tutu, who was still asleep. Ahiru sprinted down the sidewalk toward her school, Goldkrone Art Institute. Once she got to the front doors she pushed them open and ran to her class. She stopped suddenly when she realized the classroom was empty. Her eyes widened and she pulled out her phone, realizing she was at least 2 hours early. The ginger haired girl let out a groan and smacked her hand to her forehead.
Of course, she thought to herself, I knew it was weird for Tutu to still not be awake. Well, I'm already here, and it would be a waste to just walk back home. What should I do?
Ahiru suddenly remembered a small coffeehouse she remembered passing on her way to the school. That does sound good… Plus they might have some pastries or something to eat, since I skipped breakfast in my hurry to get here… Her stomach growled at the thought of food and she made up her mind. Ahiru turned around and walked out of the building and on her way to the coffeehouse.
Mytho looked up from his book when he heard the bell on the door jingle. He smiled at the awkward looking girl that had just walked in. "Hello, welcome to Raven's Coffee Shop, what can I get you?" He asked in his gentle voice. The girl in front of him was short, probably about 4'10" or 4'11", had bright orange hair that was in a bun atop her head, light freckles dotting her nose and cheeks, and probably the most beautiful blue eyes Mytho has ever seen. He could see her eyeing the pastries underneath the counter and resisted the urge to chuckle when he heard her stomach rumble.
"U-Um I'll have a medium caramel cappuccino and a-a chocolate donut.." She stammered nervously. She was absolutely stunned by the boy in front of her. He had stark white hair that somehow was styled in a neatly messy style, pale skin, and eyes that looked like molten pools of gold. Her eyes darted to his nametag. Mytho… Sounds like the kind of name a prince would have… She watched as he typed in her order and the price popped up on the little screen in front of her.
"That will be 8.79," Mytho watched her with a kind smile as she fumbled with her wallet and pulled out a ten dollar bill. She handed him the money and when he handed back her change she slipped it into the tip jar. His smile widened a tad as he picked up one of the paper coffee cups and a sharpie. "Thank you, for the tip. What would your name be?"
"Er- Ahiru," she stammered and he wrote it down on the cup.
"I'll call you up in a moment when both are ready," he said and Ahiru nodded, walking over to one of the seats and sitting down.
She pulled her laptop out of her bag and set it on the table, figuring she might as well work on her essay while she's there. She pulled up the her documents just as Mytho called her name. She jumped up and walked back over to the counter. As she was taking the steaming cappuccino from his delicate hands, she felt their fingers brush and she did everything in her power not to blush. She stammered out a small thank you and grabbed the bag her donut was in and quickly walked back to her seat.
Ahiru didn't know it then, but she'd definitely be going there much, much more often.
AN: Hello! I am not dead! I started this Princess Tutu fanfic for those very few Mythiru shippers. I'd give y'all the full story on why but I don't feel like typing it out again, so check out my AO3 instead.
