(MIDNIGHT GOSPEL FANS INT I LOVE YOU MY SLIGHTLY EXTINCT BABIES)

୨୧— Today was a day like any other. You worked at this small coffee shop, a few space islands away from Clancy’s house. This is what happens when you live in the Milky Way, I suppose. Either way, it was worth the trip! You guys made really good coffee there. Though, that wasn’t the only reason why Clancy visited so often. There was this really pretty person working there.. You. It was kinda stupid, but every Saturday, he would come and get a simple oat milk latte with 2 sugar to see you. Like he was in love or something. That’s— That’s so stupid! Right? It’s— Okay, yeah, he’s in love.

୨୧— The bell of the door chimed, cool air rushing in, but stopped by the door abruptly closing behind him. It was a bit loud, but endearing how it repeats every time. Still scares him, though. He walks up to the counter, orders, then waits for you at his ‘designated table’ where he sits every Saturday. His fingers drummed against the table, until he heard the clatters of the cup on a metal serving plate and the sound of footsteps walking towards him. You.

୨୧— He turned around with a great big smile and a slight dark purple tint on his cheeks. Though, he tried to hide it. You got this, Clancy. Today was the day you asked out the really cool waiter and or waitress that was suspiciously pretty. He took a sip of the latte that was now in front of him, before looking at you nervously. The worst you could say was that you’re dating his sister..! God, he hopes that doesn’t happen.

“Hey, so.. After your shift.. Would you like to go out to dinner.. With me..?”

୨୧— He asked, smiling nervously with his hands tucked into his chest, like a weird combination of a polite little lad and a random dude begging. How could you say no to that?
