Of course Magnus had been shocked to see the bartender in The Revolution Café. It was the least likely second meeting. Especially since Magnus had concluded that the only way to see him again would be to visit Ragnor's club every night until they met once again (and he was more than willing to do so).

There had been plenty of moments in the hours between Friday and Sunday that Magnus had considered asking Ragnor for the new employee's address or phone number. However, even though he was a dramatic sod, even Magnus thought that was a little bit too stalker-ish and would probably scare the person off before they got chance to converse properly. So, when he'd walked in to the café, he felt as though Christmas had come early.

It was such a stroke of luck that Magnus wasn't entirely convinced that the whole situation was real. There was a huge probability that he had made an entire 3D realistic replica of the man he had seen and then imagined him as the worker behind the counter, when in actual fact he could have been flirting with any one – hell maybe he'd been chatting up a coffee machine, then the worker in The Revolution Café that was taking his order had just pretended it was a normal occurrence and not said anything.

"It was so odd Cat, I was giving it my best and he was oblivious to my intentions. Seemed embarrassed at the fact that he had to talk to such a moron like me, more than wanting to jump me after two seconds. I don't know what I did wrong." Magnus paused for effect. He could hear Catarina's sympathetic hum of acknowledgement crackling through the crappy reception on the house phone. "I think I'm losing my charm. How am I meant to find a normal guy if I can't even flirt anymore?"

"Mags, you're not losing it. You're the most charming guy I know! Have faith in yourself, you know you can do it! I believe in you."

"I'm just so intimidated by him, Cat."

"What do you mean by that? You aren't afraid of anyone or anything," His friend's confusion was evident in the way she spoke.

"The aura he gives," Magnus gestured wildly with his free arm as if to find the right words for explaining what he meant, but nothing was coming to him so he started again. "I, I think I've never met someone who took my breath away just from the sight of them. That worries me. That, and the fact that I've glimpsed him twice and now I'm talking as if he affects my whole life. I bet I sound crazy."

Cat chuckled, which did nothing to console Magnus but he knew she wasn't jesting him. She cared about his well-being, all of his close friends did. He was glad about that.

"Don't worry too much yet, you've seen this guy twice in a short space of time, I'm sure that's the reason your mind is making such a big deal out of it. If you remember, you were talking along the same lines about Pedro like six months ago. You vowed to stay away from relationships again until you turned fifty after him."

"Honey, who?" He was joking of course, Magnus had a tendency to obsess over the idea of a person and get completely turned off after a couple of weeks. But they all ended up being so boring. They had no interests, except money. Magnus had so much to say and they just couldn't hold a conversation with him for more than three minutes without it switching back to YouTube and his view count and 'how his career was going soooo well he must be earning millions of dollars from it'. He hated it and had promised to wait for years until he found the one that actually cared about something other than his 'fame'.

"Exactly Mags."

"Watermelon, I'm hoping Alexander will get out of my head soon or I am going to explode."


That was it. Alec was free to go home and after his encounter with his favourite YouTuber. He would have to tell Izzy as he knew she loved TheHighWarlock too, but it would definitely be less humiliating to keep this to himself and think of them as just another customer to serve throughout his busy day.

Seen as it was half past six at night and still fairly light outside, Alec decided to go on a walk around the streets near his flat. Fresh air always helped him to process things and he enjoyed the spontaneity of where he could go. There was always a new place to discover when living in a location that he did, and Alec loved adventures. Some people would be worried about venturing out alone in the hours that Alec liked to, but he wasn't scared. From being a young child Alec had practised the martial arts and without bragging, knew he was very good at it.

His phone went off in his pocket, speak of the devil, Izzy had texted him.

LOOK AT THW TWITTER NOW ALEC PLS

Why?

DON'T QUESTION ME

Sorry.

AND DON'T GET SASSY, JUST DO

Okay, okay I am. Give me a minute Iz.

Loading the app, Alec felt a sense of anticipation. Why was Izzy making him look at the twitter page of the YouTuber who had appeared in The Revolution Café? Had they given a rubbish review of his work because of how poor his service had been? Was Alec going to get fired already?

Typing TheHighWarlock into the search bar, Alec felt hesitant of what he would find. He tentatively pressed the button to bring up the results and clicked onto the top page.

The top tweet jumped out at him from a mile away and Alec nearly dropped his phone.

'Just had the dreamiest dreamboat take my order ;) TheRevolution_Café THANKYOU FOR GIVING ME THE PLEASURE OF BEING IN THEIR COMPANY'

What was going on? Was this some kind of wind up?

Alec wasn't sure what to think. Once again he was in a haze. It took him a while to realise he needed to reply to Izzy. She had sent him five more texts. They read:

HAVE YOU LOOKED YET?

Alllleeecccc

Wait, you were working there today

OMG DID YOU MEET THEM? ARE YOU WHO THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT?

ALEC REPLY TO ME

He took a brief moment to snort at how deranged his sister sounded via message, when he read things like this it reminded him of the fact that they were essentially going insane over a normal person. Somehow that brought him to his senses.

Iz please stop. Yes I met them and no I am not who they are talking about.

I can't be, I made such a fool of myself.

Did you take their order?

That stopped Alec short. He had done.

Yeah.

THEN IT IS YOU!


Hope you liked the new chapter!
