Warning: Coffee Shop AU
Is it possible for someone to fall head-over-heels for a total stranger?
Kaito feels a smile tugging the corner of his lips when he sees him walking in and sits on one of the sofa that scattering around the café. He brought a thick novel with him today. After ordering an espresso to the waiter, he slips a thin-rimmed glasses and start reading through the book.
Kaito spends the next half-hour amusing himself with the expression that the guy made while he read. Scrunched up forehead, bit his lips worriedly and sometime a quiet laugh. How cute.
It has been half a year since Kaito first came to this little coffee shop. Hakuba was the one who dragged him here to do a school project, right after school for three days straight. Kaito didn't like it one bit, he would rather do his homework at home. But everything changed when he knew that guy, that cute guy who sat alone in the middle of busy café with book and a warm cup of coffee as company. Kaito found him interesting.
Up until now, Kaito still found that cute guy interesting, endearing even. The way his expression change when he read, the way he type so fast and suddenly stop, chewing his bottom lips and stare nervously at his laptop, the way his pen rest on the corner of his lips when he stop writing on a notebook, looking for ideas.
Kaito doesn't even like coffee that much, yet that cute guy is interesting enough to make he keep coming back to the coffee shop.
Today he comes with a company, a pretty girl with long, silky black hair. She sits in front of the guy, facing Kaito's direction. They talk a lot, and Kaito can hear the cute guy happy laugh all the way to his own table.
How Kaito wishes he was the one that make the cute guy laugh like that.
Suddenly his eyes meet with the pretty girl's, and she smiles at him. Kaito sheepishly looks away, because what else that you can do if someone found out that you've been staring at them? When Kaito steals another glance at them, he sees the pretty girl asking a waitress about something then she smile triumphantly at the cute guy. Kaito wisely looks away for the rest of his visit.
The pretty girl still sitting with the cute guy when Kaito makes his way to his usual table the next day, she stirs her flat white absent-mindedly while muttering something. Then the cute guy argues with her, gesturing wildly with his hands. The pretty girl says something, suspiciously looks like 'denial' and 'love', which makes the cute guy's shoulders drop in defeat. She smiles smugly and then makes a beeline toward the cashier.
They are probably going to head home already, that's sad. Kaito would really love to see the cute guy argue and gesturing wildly again, it's adorable.
Kaito orders a frappucino from a passing waitress and takes out his laptop, the joy of doing homework in the coffee shop. He was sipping his coffee while reading an article when someone stops by his table.
"Hello," A shy smile, "What's your name?"
Yes, it is possible. I do one myself, and now I'm happy with my very own lovely stranger.
