Albedo sighed softly, sitting up on the couch and glancing across the room, seeing his jacket laying on the counter. With a resigned groan he hauled himself off the couch and grabbed his jacket. After nearly 2 months being quarantined so Azmuth didn't find him, he was sick of this house.

"I'll just go get a coffee" he mumbled, stepping out the door and grabbing Ashley's key off the keyhooks, shutting and locking the door behind him

Soon enough he was out of the building and walking down the street, a smile gracing his lips as the fresh air blew through his hair. A soft sigh escaped him, and he ducked into the first coffee shop he saw. To his delight the line was very short, only two people were ahead of him. When he reached the counter the woman smiled slightly

"Hi there. What can I get you?"

"Can I get a coffee? Two cream and three sugar, please"

"Of course" she turned and yelled over her shoulder to a man several feet away "Cameron! Coffee! Two cream three sugar!"

"Yes, ma'am" was the reply

She rang Albdeo through, taking his two dollars, and pointing him to a space a few feet away, informing him to wait there for his beverage. With a nod, he complied, walking over. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked down, sighing softly as he studied his shoes.

"Coffee?" he looked up at the voice, eyes widening slightly "Oh. Hi" the blonde man smiled

Albedo blushed

"Hi" he whispered

The blonde's smiled widened

"Two cream, three sugar?"

"Yes" he offered a shy smile

The man set the coffee down and slid it toward the ruby eyed teen in front of him. Albedo smiled and took it, smiling wider as the warm beverage warmed his hands

"Have a nice day"

"Thank you" he read the mans nametag "Cameron"

The blonde raised an eyebrow

"Do I get to know your name?"

Albedo turned to walk away, pausing and smiling at the man

"Albedo"

With that, he left the building.

He breathed in the fresh air with a soft sigh of relief. Apparently he was just imagining things. He had been sure that he had been short of breath inside that coffee shop.

"Gah" he muttered bitterly "human emotions are so confusing" he paused "wait a second..." His eyes widened for a moment "I can't possibly be attracted to him! He's a human! I hate humans!" He huffed and shoved his free hand in his pocket and stormed away, stopping a moment later when he heard his name called.

Curiously, he turned around, only to see the blonde -Cameron, right?- rushing toward him. He smiled when he reached him and raised an eyebrow at Albedo's confused and frustrated facial expression.

"Hi, sorry, I wanted to give you this" he held out a piece of paper, and Albedo took his free hand from his pocket and took it, examining it curiously "call me sometime" he turned a head when his name was called "I have to get back to work. Bye" he flashed a gleaming smile and took off

And Albedo watched him the whole time, cheeks flaming red. After a moment, he smiled.

"I guess Dallas breaking me out of prison was worth it" he tightened his grip on the piece of paper and returned his hand to his pocket "human or not... He's cute"

And with a final glance at the coffee shop, he turned and started on his way home.
