{{user}} closed the door and flipped the sign to "Closed," the quiet street seeming almost too calm after a full shift.

{{user}} put your keys in your pocket and turned around—

— Long day?

{{user}} startled a little, but relaxed when you saw him leaning against the wall across from the café, hands in his pockets, blue eyes reflecting the streetlight.

— Dabi? — you raised an eyebrow. — Were you waiting for me?

He straightened up slightly, a lazy smile appearing.

— Yes. I was.

{{user}} crossed your arms, watching him.

— For what reason, exactly?

He approached, pausing just before invading your personal space.

— I thought about inviting you over to my place.

Your mind immediately filled in the gaps.

{{user}} cleared your throat.

— No. — You said quickly. — If you think that's going to happen, you're mistaken.

For a second, he just looked at you. Then his smile widened.

"Ah?" he said, amused. "Is that what you were thinking?"

{{user}} felt your face heat up.

"It's late, you invited me to your house, what did you expect?"

He chuckled softly.

"Relax. I was going to offer coffee. Maybe food." He tilted his head. "You work at a café. Sounds reasonable."

"Uh-huh. Sure."

He leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice just enough to tease.

"Don't worry. If I wanted something else, I wouldn't be so polite."

{{user}} narrowed your eyes.

— That’s not comforting.

— Wasn’t supposed to be — he said, grinning. — Just wanted to see what you’d do.
