Weiss sipped at her mocha again as she turned away from the door, blushing.
"Stop blushing, you dolt!" Came the immediate thought to her head. She really wasn't quite sure why she was uncomfortable in the first place, she only knew that she really wished to be alone at the moment. Vaguely trying to blend into the table she sat at, Wiess turned to see what Neptune was here for. The tall boy stood at the back of the line, near the door, with his hands resting in the top of his jeans pockets. He was wearing that stupid red coat of his, and that stupid casual grin and his stupid blue hair was ruffled off to the left side of his head. The nervous heiress looked closer, all but abandoning her drink to cool on the table. He looked tired, but he had yet to lose his casual and relaxed air. As the line shortened and he moved forward, he raised his right hand and ran it through his slightly tangled hair. Weiss' heart beat sped.
"No, no don't do that!" she mumbled under her breath and turned back to the table. She rested her elbows on the metal grating on either side of the coffee and let her head fall into her hands. Her fingers found her temples and began to rub slowly. "You don't have time for this," began the train of self berating thoughts. "You're Weiss Schnee, you can't have petty crushes on just some boy." "You have too much to worry about as it is, don't add to your problems!" The thoughts began bombarding her conscious, all heard in voices of those she knew. Some of the kinder thoughts were voiced by her team, and many of the harsher ones by the voices of her parents, or their servants. Weiss' hands began to shake, and she quickly tore her head away from them, folding her trembling fingers into her lap. A deep, shaky sigh settled her slightly, and she began to pay more attention to her surroundings. The white clad girl looked back over at the line leading to the register, and noticed a lack of blue hair. She must have missed him, he was already gone.
Neptune pushed his back into the door, and waved a goodbye to the rosy cheeked barista, tightly clutching the tray of coffee. Sun and decided that last night was the proper time to pull an all night, last second studying binge, and subsequently had woken up not even an entire hour ago, sending Neptune on a coffee run. He really wasn't much bothered by it though, getting out of the house was nice for him. He rounded the corner of the cute java shop, when he spotted Weiss sitting at a metal grille table, with a cup between her hands and a distant look in her eyes. He stopped short, only a waist high iron fence between the two of them.
"Oh, hey Weiss," he said, gathering her attention. The long haired girls head quickly turned up to face him.
"Oh! Uh, hello Neptune," she started. Neptune looked closely at her. She was well dressed and more than presentable, as per usual, but something was off. She looked unbelievably tired, and her cup shook slightly between her hands.
"Hey, are you okay?" he inquired, bending a little at the waist towards her.
"What? Oh yes, I'm perfectly fine," she snapped at him. "What a ridiculous question to ask, I'm fine!"
"If you say so..." he replied uncertainly, as she glared at him. "Well, uh, I'm just on a coffee run, so I guess I should get going."
"Goodbye."
Neptune stepped forward uncertainly, shaking his head as he began to walk away. She always puzzled him.
