Chapter Text
"Large Americano for Adrien," Luka called out.
It was then that a young blonde-haired man with emerald eyes walked up to the counter. Luka handed him his drink.
"Thank you," Adrien said.
"You're welcome. Come again soon." Luka replied as he watched Adrien leave the shop.
"When are you going to talk to him more?" a red-haired man asked
"Nathaniel, I have talked to him already."
"No, you didn't. The only talking you do is when you're taking his order."
"He's probably already taken." Luka's defeated voice said.
"You don't know that for sure, do you?" Nataniel asked.
"No, but I also don't want to get hurt, again," Luka replied, as another customer appeared at the counter. He knew the conversation was far from over.
They were pretty busy for the rest of the day. It wasn't until closing that they got a chance to talk again.
"Man, you really should try and start a conversation with him next time he comes around. " Nathaniel said as he stopped beside him.
Luka let out a sigh of frustration.
"Fine, if it will stop you from bugging me then I will."
"You can do this," Nathaniel said, as they finished closing the coffee shop and headed home.
Luka took a couple of deep breaths, the next person in line was Adrien.
Adrien stepped up to the counter.
"You're getting a large Americano to go, right?" Luka asked as he looked into his emerald eyes. Those eyes looked back at him, they went wide for a second, but relaxed after a couple of moments.
"Yes, a large Americano, but it is for here," Adrien replied, as he patted the laptop bag which hung from his right shoulder.
"Okay, we’ll get that order to you in a few minutes," Luka started as he got the cup ready and passed it to Nathaniel to fill. "I hope it's not rude of me to ask but are you here to relax or to do work?"
"I am here to do work. I have to get the next two chapters written and to my publisher by the end of next week." Adrien replied.
"So you're a writer, that is awesome," Luka said, as he saw a customer who stepped up behind Adrien.
Adrien looked back as he saw the person behind him.
"I'll let you get back to work. I am going to be here for a while, maybe when you can, you can stop by where I am sitting and we could chat a little." Adrien said as he paid for his coffee.
Luka gave him his change back.
"That sounds great," Luka said, as he watched Adrien walk away.
His attention was on the next customer; Luka had a smile on his face, he actually had a conversation with the man he liked. The smile stayed for the rest of the day.
