Cake
.
Sting had been waiting for a chance for weeks. Day after day, every afternoon when coming home from college, he had been waiting. His eyes lingered on the window looking at the huge variety of pastries and cakes.
It was his favourite shop to spend his little extra money and it had been closed for one and a half month. He could almost savour already the so desired sweetness on his mouth, but his pocket was screaming at him. He was just a poor, broke student and after restocking his pantry, he barely had any cash left.
Sting sighed, looking at the promising sign, which read "Today 50% discount for pairing in our new strawberry cake". He really, really wanted to try the new addition to the menu, but he was broke and single and there was no way he could fix any of them before the discount expired. He gave one last look at the window, resigned to go home without dessert on his stomach. Just when he was looking at the sign for a last time, he heard a sigh.
Following the sound, his eyes found a guy who seemed around his age, with black hair tied on a ponytail and the same resigned face Sting was sure he had had one second ago. Sting blinked a few times, considering the possibilities before he decided to take the risk.
"Hey" He said to the stranger "Do you want to date me?"
It was a pretty weird question to ask to someone you didn't know, so Sting didn't blame him when he furrowed his brow and asked.
"What?"
"I mean, for the discount? You seemed interested and I've been waiting for the shop to reopen for weeks and I'm mostly broken by now and this is a great deal, so, I thought, you may be interested into be my date for this afternoon, so we could both have an amazing and cheap cake?"
The stranger must have been as eager as Sting was, because something lit on his eyes at hearing the offer and he was very fast answering.
"I usually would say this is a terrible idea, but I really love their cakes, so I guess it's a yes?"
"That's what I wanted to hear!"
Sting smiled and moved to the door, but he hesitated a bit before touching the knob.
"So, what's your name, Stranger? It would be suspicious if I called my boyfriend 'stranger' all night"
"My name is Rogue"
"Well then, Rogue, mine's Sting"
After that, Sting opened the door and entered, ready to taste the heaven.
