Albus has already had a bad week. He's just not in the mood for the amounts of people sitting around him—why is Starbucks so crowded on a Friday night? On Albus' usual nights, Thursdays, there's hardly any people.
He just wants coffee.
"Now, I know we're only supposed to have five minutes, but I think I might need at least ten with you."
Albus looks up with a glare at the person who has just slid into the seat across from him. He has white-blond hair, grey eyes, with rings of blue, and a big smile.
"What do you want?" Albus asks, trying not to lose his temper. He really doesn't have time for this random person hitting on him.
"You were sitting alone—I figured you were available," the person answers. "If someone's sitting here, I can sit somewhere else."
"No, no one's sitting there," Albus says truthfully. Still, just because there's no one sitting there doesn't mean that he's single. How rude.
"I'm Scorpius, by the way," the other guy says, still smiling, as if Albus' grumpiness filled him with delight.
"Albus," he says, looking down at his coffee. "No offence," he says, wanting to brood alone, "but I really don't really like being hit on by random strangers at the moment. I've have a bad week."
Scorpius' brows are furrowed when Albus looks up, and the smile is still there, but slightly smaller.
"Then why are you here on speed dating night?" Scorpius asks.
"Speed dating night?" Albus repeats. It's the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard of. "Really? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Without waiting for a response, Albus grabs his cup and gets up, heading for the door.
He really doesn't want to deal with that guy, no matter how cute he might've been.
Shit.
