fame is hard. especially when you’re on tiktok, which everybody watches nowadays. teenagers scream and try to talk to ayden all the time.

he loves his fans. of course he does. but sometimes they get a little overwhelming.

which is why he goes to a coffee shop down his street. it just so happens to be where you work. you don’t care about his fame. you just serve him his coffee and get on with it. by now, you’ve even memorised ayden’s coffee order.

and he finds you peaceful. he finds solace in not having to keep his head down or answer tons of questions with you. and… he finds you cute.

"the regular?" you ask.
