Yuuri needs fresh air.

He is losing his mind inside the small windowless class and freezing air cond, trying to focus for three hours straight inside there which is so damn challenging. By the time the class is adjourned, Yuuri is feeling like a walking zombie, he has no idea what did he write on the note and barely grasp on the research and submission requirements.

Thus, he takes the longest route to the usual cafe, stopping by the campus cafeteria first for some takeaway. It's always full house there though, and so loud... Again Yuuri wonders, why do people have time for food except him? Which course are they taking actually? Yuuri feels so envy…

After that, he walks downstairs through the flower shrubs, then under the shade of tree and stepping on the grass as the shadow didn't cast on the walking pavement and who would walk under the hot sun? Not him definitely, although he needs the heat.

And so Yuuri entered the cafe through another set of door which he just realized there is an open space seating with the view of the garden. Great! I can sit here and revise on the note.

This time, he goes for something sweet and tooth rotting, because research found that eating sweet things while learning would enhance memory and creative thinking.

"A large size of double chocolaty chip frappuccino with less ice and extra crème please. Name; Yuuri." He says in a single breath without a hitch. Please don't ask me to repeat and realize it's not a healthy drink... Yuuri tells via telepathy -if he has it.

The usual barista just stares with his blue green eyes and smiles. "Okay!" After receiving the payment, he writes like three strokes on the cup and proceeds to make it precisely as request.

Meanwhile, Yuuri could tell how efficient he moves around working just from his back. Wow, he has a memory of an elephant… He sighs soundlessly, gripping on his backpack. I really need that for my exam…

After a series of mixing, blending, pouring and a dash of topping, his drink is finally done and the barista hands it with a couple of soft tissues. "Here it is." The man announces with a business smile.

The first thing he notices is of course the quick scribble of his name. Ah... he don't have an elephant's brain after all. Yuuri's mouth curves upwards, feeling glad knowing that he is human too. "You forgot to add 'u' in my name."

His gaze returns at the silver haired barista. Yuuri catches him holding himself from grinning. "I know, here let me fix it…" Then the barista proceeds to take the cold sweating cup back from his hand despite Yuuri thinking it's not a big deal. After two rows of scribbling, he returns the cup back to the rightful owner and waits for his response as usual.

Yuuri

Nikiforov

Huh..?! Yuuri stares back at the man in front of him, utterly confused. "But I mean just a single 'u' in my name..."

um, wait a minute…

By the time Yuuri's brain finally working, the barista grins widely in response, pointing to his name tag on left top side of his green apron. It reads 'Viktor Nikiforov.'

"Yes, I just include it as you ask~ and I'm indeed single…" He whispers at the end and gives his signature wink, placing his index finger on his smiling lips.

Thus, Yuuri spontaneously combusts, heat rises throughout his body and totally lost at words. Holy shit... everything is just according to his plan! He just realized wide eyes.

"Oh… W-well… uh… I-I'll just take this and l-leave…" As a result, the awestruck Japanese backs the whole way -not even lifting his feet- toward the glass door which he just entered, wide chocolate eyes never break from the stare at the hot baris- uh, Viktor in disbelieve.

"Sure." Says Viktor, propping his elbow on the counter supporting his chin and watches him leaving like Michael Jackson in amazed. "please come again, ok Yuuri~" He giggles.

…Fuck butterfly, Yuuri feels a whole zoo inside him as he groans and bit his involuntary smiling lip. Stop it... and I really need to learn a few comebacks… As his adrenaline keep pumping, Yuuri suddenly determines to start a new goal. Wait wait, d-did I just think to flirt back with him?

Slumping to the cafe's outdoor seat, Yuuri takes out his notebook and slams it to his face with a slap. Ugh… what has gotten into me?! Yuuri muses inside his jumble messed head, trying his best to have a regular heartbeat through normal breathing. Flipping open his notebook of previous class, Yuuri intents to revise -or decipher- the note at this rate, upside down. Focus, Yuuri. You need to focus… yet two seconds later he peeks a little from the book just to make sure...

Indeed, Viktor is still watching him through the glass, giving an OK sign with a smirk directed at him after serving another female customer.

...On second thought, outdoor seating might not be a great idea... for today.
