Chapter Text
Monday
The chime on the door causes Pink’s eyes to flick to the two people walking in. Cyan elbows Pink and motions to the two customers. “Welcome to Cosmic Coffee - where the coffee is out of this world”, Pink says in a tired voice. Only two hours until my shift is over they think to themselves. Glancing at the customers, the shorter of the two looked like a ray of yellow sunshine on a stormy day. Pink was mesmerized. After taking a few moments to turn their bulbous little heads upward toward the menu, they approach the counter.
“I’ll have a large iced coffee please.”
“And can I get a name for that?”
They blush, their visor turning pink. “Yellow”
“Anything for your… friend?”
Yellow giggles. “No - Lime isn’t a big fan of coffee”
“Oh, well we have baked goods too. How about a meteor cookie?”
“Ok,” says Lime.
“Alright, that’ll be twelve fifty."
"Yellow reaches for their wallet but Lime stops them before they can take out. “Let me get this.”
Pink, slightly surprised, wonders to themselves just what type of relationship those two have. Wondering about those types of things helped to pass the time during the long shifts anyway.
“Your coffee will be ready in a few minutes. Feel free to grab a seat while you wait.” Cyan nudges Yellow again. “Oh, right. [corporate mandated space pun]”
Yellow giggles again.
Pink gets to work making their iced coffee.
“Iced coffee for Yellow”, they yell out.
Yellow grabs for it, but their little nubs brush Pink’s. Their eyes meet. “H-Have a stellar day”, Pink stutters out and breaks eye contact.
Yellow and Lime turn to leave and as they do Pink sees Yellow look at their nub with a small smile on their face.
What Pink doesn’t see is Yellow glace back to take one more look at Pink.
