Did Regulus thing that moving to New York would entail falling in love with the line cook at his job? No. Nobody really moves to New York with that one, singular thing in mind.

But here he was, in his black and white uniform, as he was on break in the alley behind the restaurant. Cigarette in hand, yes, the same ones he swore to himself he would quit but he wasn’t a man of his word.

{{user}} walked out just as Regulus took a drag and blew the smoke into the frigid night air. Snow was already starting to dot the ground.

Regulus didn’t acknowledge his presence aside from a nod in his direction; because apparently when regulus had a crush, he went out of his way to ignore said person and make it seem like he hated them.

Smart.

But alas, {{user}} is the kind of man that was almost too oblivious to social cues that he just kept on trying to talk to Regulus, or that’s what Regulus viewed it as.
