Alfred was tired. It had been a long fucking day, and now the only thing on Alfred's mind was coffee. So of course, he decided to go down to his favorite cafe which, awesomely, has free wifi.

Walking in, he groaned seeing there was a long line waiting to order. He stood there in line with a scowl until it was finally his turn.

"Hey, Alfred. The usual?"

"Hey, Francis. And no. Actually, I want a large caramel cappuccino. Two shots."

"That'll be six seventy-three. Oh, and Feliciano will be handing out the orders from now on. Be nice, he's new." Francis winked at Alfred and took the cash he handed him. He motioned towards the other cheerful looking man. Alfred soon found himself walking over to there like a zombie.

It was only a minute of standing looking around aimlessly until Feliciano smiled over at Alfred handing him his large drink.

"Here you go!"

Alfred smiled and grabbed the drink, putting his other hand into his pocket walking away from the counter. He then, found a comfy chair to lounge in.

"I'll just relax until the coffee is gone, get some more, and then leave for home." Alfred thought and smelled his drink.

But, oddly, it did not smell like coffee.

Shrugging it off Alfred took a sip just assuming that's what cappuccinos smelled like, since he usually got frappes instead.

When the hot liquid went down his throat Alfred blinked. He took another sip.

"Oh hell no, this isn't-" Alfred sat up and took the cover off. It held a tea bag and was most definitely not coffee. "No, it's tea."

Groaning, Alfred watch Feliciano hand out drinks. He must've gotten his and someone else's mixed up. Maybe he wrote the name on the container.

Looking around it, Alfred finally found a name. Arthur.

"Well Arthur, I am going to find you if it's the last thing I do."

Alfred stood up and looked around. The place was crowded, and he wanted to just cry and give up.

It took 10 minutes of walking around after feeling defeated but he heard coughing. Curious, he turned to find a blonde man on a computer wiping his mouth on his sleeve after drinking from his cup.

"The bloody hell? This is most definitely not tea."

Smiling, Alfred walking over to the man, hoping he was the Arthur he was looking for.

"Arthur?"

"What?" Arthur turned around. "Uh. Have we met?"

Green eyes met blue and Alfred almost faltered back. Oh god was this guy cute.

"..dammit he's cute.."

"what." Arthur blushed.

"what?" Alfred laughed nervously, realizing he said that out loud. "I meant, I think we have each other's orders."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I hope you don't mind.. but I drank from yours so-"

"No, it's fine." Arthur smiled and offered the coffee to Alfred. Alfred took it and handed Arthur his tea.

"Thank you." Alfred smelled the drink and this time, it smelled like coffee.

Arthur had drank some of his tea and continued on what he was doing, assuming Alfred would've walked off, but being nosy, Alfred looked at Arthur's computer screen.

"Is that-" Alfred smiled. "Is that Sailor Moon!"

"You're still here! A-and. Yeah, even if it isn't any of your business, yes that's Sailor Moon."

"..."

".."

"Can I watch with you?" Alfred asked.

"... fine." Arthur sighed and paused the episode as the blonde man moved a chair next to his and they continued to watch the anime.

It was at least 15 episodes later and a few more teas and coffees until Francis kicked the two out because he had to close. And within that span of 15 Sailor Moon episodes, Arthur and Alfred had learned enough about each other to be a bit more than acquaintances.

Laughing Alfred walked Arthur to his car, and watched as Arthur put his stuff in the back seat. Moving back outside the car Arthur walked to Alfred.

"So, Alfred.. I was thinking. Do you want to go and get coffee and watch more Sailor Moon together again sometime?" Arthur looked to the side as he spoke and Alfred couldn't hold his excitement. He hugged Arthur close.

"I thought you'd never ask!"
