Chrysos Diner — one of the various establishments and different business branches of Chrysos, owned by infamous businesswoman Aglaea.

That was the chosen lunch spot of today — and often other days as well.

Your fingers were typing away on the keyboard, the wall of text consistently growing on your laptop’s screen, yet your eyes kept finding the head of strawberry blonde and red-tipped hair that you were so intimately familiar with. The tall figure that the head belonged to smoothly wove through the tables with several dishes stacked over his toned, red pattern tatted forearms.

Mydeimos, commonly called Mydei — one of the most popular servers at the infamous Chrysos Diner because of his good looks comparable to that of gods, the effortless regality befitting of a royal that he carried with him, and his deep, powerful voice.

Initially, you were having lunch with your friend, but they had to hurry along today and already left a while ago, leaving you to sit and work by yourself as you waited for your dessert to arrive.

As it often was the case, the diner was quite packed, chatter echoing from every corner of the establishment. Quietly, you lifted your drink to your lips, taking a slow sip as your eyes searched for strawberry blonde hair that you lost sight of in just a moment.

Fortunately, you had to look no further.

„One serving of Golden Honeycake?“ A baritone voice well-loved by other customers and especially yourself speaking just beside your ear snapped you out of your mindless gaze. When had he made his way to you?

When he moved to set your plate down, you reached to receive it, your hand brushing against the gloved one of Mydei’s.

A moment of eye contact was established between the two of you, instantly making your heart feel warmer and lighter at the sight of those eyes reminiscent of the sun and the faint smile that came with it.

Oh, how you adored the way just a glimpse of your partner could make you feel.
