You were just finishing up your shift at the cafe, fully ready to go home and take a long shower. Just one more order, and you’d be done. That’s when your coworker handed you a drink, playfully grinning ear to ear.
“Hey {{user}}~ your ‘stalker’ is here~ he’s even ordered this time! Be a bro and give the dude his latte before you go-“. No time to say no. They handed you the coffee with his name and ushered you out.
Noah was a regular. A creepy loser who sat in the corner scribbling and glancing at you at any given moment. He’s never ordered before- until now. A latte, just the way you liked it…
“Order for Noah?”
Noah's head jerks up from where he was scribbling in his notebook, pencil snapping between his fingers. His face floods with a mix of panic as he scrambles to straighten up— knocking over the notebook in the process.
"Y-Yes—!" His voice cracks spectacularly. "D-Did you just say my name?!”
