ngl i could use a mocha rn

[commemeorate]

The weather is getting cold and what's better for batting off that chill than a nice hot beverage in a place with comfy chairs and a barista who knows your favourite combo?

PROMPTS

1) Customer. You spent ages choosing your drink, lining up for it and now there are no more tables. Great. As a result, you have to look for somewhere to sit while balancing that tray laden with your drink of choice and tasty pastry in your hands. Looks like you've got no other choice than to ask that person with the spare seat at their table.

3) Barista. An employee of this fine establishment, if nothing else, knows how to brew coffee. We hope. Maybe you're the best barista in the world. Or maybe you barely know how the machine works and instead make up for it by coming up with hilarious names on people's paper cups. Either way, you work here and go through the daily grind.

4) Student. It's no secret that students congregate in droves towards coffee shops for a combination of free wifi and caffeine. Whether in a group or on your own, the laptops and papers are out in full force. Whether any work is actually getting done is another question.

5) Early Morning Rush. It's first thing and you're crabby. All you want is your coffee and you will kick, punch and claw your way for that cup of black gold. And it looks like you're not the only one feeling this way. Are you going to let that person stealthily cut in front of you?!

6) Not A Coffee Person. Maybe you just want to try coffee for the first time. Or you're a tea drinker who is rethinking their views on coffee. You're canvassing for opinions, and that can range from outright asking other customers to hovering over tables to monopolizing the barista for a good 5 minutes, holding up the line.

7) Coffee Date. Asking people out to a coffee is the easiest thing in the world. Or is it? Whether it's with a friend or something more romantic, a coffee date is a good opportunity to connect with people and talk about whatever comes to mind.

8) Late Nights. The evening sky is dark and there's hardly anybody left in the coffee shop. Closing time is not for a while yet, but a stillness has settled over everyone. It's that time of night where anything can happen.

9) Free For All. Or if all else fails, just make your own scenario!

[ the darkness is meant for the night owls, thriving within the pitch black night because of tests due or they're captivated by a wild thrill. both boys and girls, all thrown together by fate, walking different paths of what this gamble of life is willing to give them but what happens at night, stays locked away. it's sort of like vegas, not too much is said but when the morning hits and those who appreciate the sun to guide them will see a mess left. that's how life goes but in lucio's case, he's not here to make a mess of anything — he actually cannot sleep.

so why not visit the coffee shop that's only fifteen minutes away from where he stays and while he's at it, why not take a seat and open the book written by friedrich nietzsche. ]

It's not surprising to see you work so late. [ both his thumb and index finger pinch at the corner of the page, turning right. ] I'll have your favorite, if you aren't busy. [ he turns his head, looks up and he's met with a familiar face and the same mop of brown hair that sometimes lucio can only wonder, does it tickle at the bridge of his nose? if it did, would the other smile more often — laugh? well, that hardly matters now, when he can try and do that himself. ] Hello.

God I miss being young.

[Not for the carefree lifestyle but for the energy. Foggy had pulled an all-nighter reading up on a case and now he's stumbling around the coffee shop like a zombie. What happened to the days when he could stay up over twenty four hours, complain a little and yawn, but still make it to class? He needs caffeine NOW.

After placing his order he drags his feet toward the seating area. The morning crowd is squeezed into the building and if he stays standing he might knock over one of those shelves with all the ceramics on them or crash into a wall and ruin a painting by some local artist. To his dismay he finds the tables and seats filled to the brim minus one chair at a table for two that is all ready taken by some pale guy in a black suit. He doesn't look like the super friendly approachable type but Foggy is desperate to sit. It is worth a try!]

Hey you mind if I just slide into this chair for a while? I'm about to fall asleep on my feet.

[The Café LeBlanc wasn’t exactly where Tatsuya was expecting to stop for a cup of joe, but its location was perfect for a bit of privacy. The atmosphere was more European, the scent of aromatic coffee and spicy curry in the air. And behind the bar was probably the café’s part timer, a student seemingly near Tatsuya’s age.

He approaches the bar, pushing his bangs over his ear.] Excuse me. ‘Sthere anything I should know before ordering coffee?

[ It's one of those diners that never closes. Or seems to close. Rain or shine, day or night. No sleet nor hurricane nor riot, a little like the federal post office. Decor hasn't changed much, either. Every few decades it gets a superficial makeover and waits patiently until peeling wallpaper and outdated fashion statements demand something newer.

It's a place full of sketchy patrons and strong coffee and terrible music that manages to feel homey. Despite all of the above. ]

You're laughably easy to find. [ He slips into the chair across from Steve with all the finesse of an accomplished shadow, one elbow bracing against the table while he makes himself comfortable. And checks entrances, exits, line of sight as a matter of course. Trust the guy across the table to pick the spot least easiest to sneak up on. ] It's deliberate, right?

[ A head tilt, blue eyes narrowed beneath his ballcap. ]

Cause I'd hate to think leaving yourself open to ambush is a long-term thing.

(*edits two days later to add the forgotten starter oops*)

Rhys wasn't particularly thrilled about having to work through his senior year of university. It was supposed to be a challenging year, classwise, and he'd thought he could spend his free time with his best bro and their friends. Unfortunately, his parents wanted him to work part-time at a minimum wage place to build character.

So here he was, behind the register of a coffee shop. At least it was across the street from Hyperion. Maybe he could network with the employees that came in, possibly even score an internship or even a real job after he graduated. For now, however, he tried to focus on ringing customers up correctly and being friendly so they'd tip well.
