Sun Wukong was having the worst day at the Jumping Beans coffeehouse. Pretty much all his customers so far had been rude, one lady had screamed at him, and he'd made almost no tip money. Only two hours remained, though. He could leave his awful workplace soon enough.
He fixed himself a delicious banana smoothie if only to pass a bit of time. He sipped his glorious creation as he wiped the counter down to make himself seem busy. If he had to hear Azure complain about anything else, he might just set the place on fire.
Nah, Sun was a petty thief at times, but arson was not his sort of crime. One should always choose one's criminal activity wisely.
The front door gave its wretched bell signal, and a customer appeared in the lobby. Dust, this guy was handsome. Beautiful, even. His soft blue hair caught Sun's eyes, and that was it.
"Welcome to Jumping Beans! What can I make for you today?" Besides heart eyes and winky faces, Sun wanted to add. Azure might have a comment about that, though. One of these days, Azure was going to get his face broken, either by Sun or some other disgruntled coworker.
"Could I get a caramel macchiato, please? And one of these peanut butter cook- WHOA YOU HAVE A TAIL!" The blue-haired boy noticed. Sun nodded.
"That's not going to change your review of my work, right?"
"Not unless you can make my coffee with your tail..." The customer suggested.
"Well, that's kind of against the rules. It's a sanitation thing. My tail's kinda bushy, and I'm sure you don't want hair in your coffee..." Sun confessed, his lovely customer nodding. Sun rang the order up, and the beautiful boy flipped him the Lien.
"Keep the change. The name's Neptune, by the way," He told Sun, winking at him. Sun's eyes filled with stars at the remark. He came to his senses and crafted the most perfect coffee he could muster. He fastened a top onto the cup and smashed a few cookies into a tiny paper bag. He called Neptune over when his order was ready, handing him his cup with one hand and the cookies with his tail.
"So it IS prehensile! I wish I had a cool tail..." Neptune complained as he sipped his coffee. He saw some curious writing on the cup, grinning when he read it. Sun noticed and immediately blushed. "Yes, Sun Wukong, I would love to hang out with you sometime. In fact, when's your shift over? I could use a double shot of youin my life." He smirked, his blue eyes catching Sun's gray ones.
Oh Dust, Sun, don't forget how to speak now! The guy of your nightmares just asked you out! SAY SOMETHING!
"Uh, in about two hours, I'll be free to go." He stumbled, his beautiful boy grinning at him.
"Sounds good. I will return to you soon, Sun Wukong."
"I can't wait..." Sun replied as Neptune walked out of the coffeehouse. Watching him walk away was nice, but seeing him leave was a bummer. These two hours had better pass quickly.
