Work Text:
Right around the times between 8:00pm and 9:00pm, Megan was having the time of her night after unpacking everything from her Maryland dormitory to a New York apartment with her girlfriend Jecka still asleep inside of the room, tired from unpacking her stuff and Megan's stuff where her girlfriend is tired after hours.
"Well, that was a lot of things all done.. whew!"
"Right, Jecka-"
"Jecka? Are you sleep?"
Looking around the room, the blonde was nowhere to be seen except for any boxes that is scatted, cutted, folded, that makes her wonder that she could be at.
"Jecka..?" Megan said, opening the door into their bedroom when snoring became had from the blonde plopped on the floor.
-sigh- "Oh girl.. you're always tired at the most random times."
""And heavy too when you sleep as well. Jesus, honey."
-Jecka mumbled-
"Ugh! Finally on the bed, which means you're going to be the first to wake up when I got back to sleep."
-Jecka mumbled more-
"You sound so cute whenever you make any noise.. and when your sleep too."
"Which is what I'm planning on doing when I get these boxes down."
When leaving out of the bedroom to let Jecka sleep, picking up the boxes of years worth of holding everything they have and taking 'em down to the trash compactor to have them out, which is how Megan thought of going out of the apartment at night.
"There we go, that's a years worth of boxes thrown out. What a waste, but it is what it is."
"Hm.. I could go get something right now since I'm outside... Maybe so."
"And as a bonus too, I can see what is there in New York City since we got here days ago."
"Yeah, I can go get some coffee or something that is open around here while seeing what's around Times Square."
Agreeing with herself about going out her apartment for the moment, Megan just went out of the alley to be introduced to Times Square's wide open space of people that are tourists, many vehicles roaming in/out on the roads in front, and bizarre amounts of advertising spewing through her eyes.
"Wow.. younger me would've had a blast coming here..."
"Now let's go get some coffee. Wherever place has it.."
While walking through the night of honking cars to people crossing through, Megan found a coffee shop that is open late at night blocks away from her apartment that serves her type of coffee. Cappuccinos.
"Never knew it was this bustling down in Manhattan, even around this street, maybe cause it's popular here or something...?" Megan said, being knocked around by many people that are ordinary civilians.
"Eh, either way, I found that seems to be a coffee shop. Is it like Starbucks or different? Who knows until I go inside."
"Um, hello? Is anyone here?"
As soon Megan said anything inside, she was introduced to the person who is the cashier of the shop. Ari.
"Hello, what can I- wait.. Megan..?!"
"Ari? What are you doing up here in New York? I thought you were still in Springfield."
"Nah, I moved up to here along with Emily that is doing ok cause of me kept in check with her, with me just because of something bad happened down in Virginia." Ari explained.
"What happened down there?"
"Very long story. Anyways, what can I get ya, girl?"
"Just a cappuccino, please."
"Awesome. Now since that I know you from being an asshole from high school, to being more productive, it's free on my behalf."
"Oh come on, you don't have to do that-"
"I insist. It's something to give after not seeing you when gone off to college, and now here in my family's establishment."
"Wait, your family own this place?" Megan said.
"Yeah, it was a inheritance from my parents older relatives that passed this down to where it's a few workers, my mom and sorta my dad, and me mostly running the place after being closed for some years or so."
"Yeah, it's another long story that I don't want to go into detail at this moment since it's 10:00pm on the dot, so yeah."
"Yeah.. maybe whenever Jecka wakes up when I sleep, we have to catch up on things." Megan said when seeing the time at that says 10:00pm.
"Yeah, ok then. See ya, Megs!"
While drinking her coffee outside of the shop, she decides to take in of the ambience of the city for a few minutes before walking back home back to her apartment to have the caffeine run through to do something in the meanwhile till she gets sleepy and slumpy to plop into bed with her blonde girlfriend with her til hours later in the morning.
-yawns-
"Now that was a good nap. Huh?"
-seeing Megan sleeping comfortable-
"Was she sleep before I woken up.." Jecka said, stretching her arms high next to Megan.
"Still, she would've been up before I was. But that doesn't matter this moment. I'll let her sleep and see what I can do in the meantime before she wakes up."
-snoring softly-
"Good night and good morning, honey." Jecka said, giving her a kiss on her forehead and walking out of the bedroom to have Megan have the same treatment to her, when knowing that they have a lot of things to talk about later.
