Coffee and Sparkle (BL Yaoi Original)

Part 2

He felt bad for suddenly rushing out like that, but he would rather escape from the rain while he could. He'd see him around campus, Coffee was sure of that. Avoiding the puddles this time, Coffee maneuvered his way throughout the small, pathetic town that he called home. Taking the bus with his last token, he rode his way back to Cornerside Community College. He wasn't exactly thrilled about attending here; it was known for being a party school. However, when you have to pay for school yourself, this was the easiest option. Besides... Sparkle attends here, too, so... it couldn't be that bad, right?

He had no idea what Sparkle's major was, or where they could meet up. Scrunching up his face as he stepped off the bus and hurried into the double doors of the college building, Coffee guessed that information would most likely be brought up during work.  Coffee was more afraid of Sparkle asking for his phone number rather than Sparkle actually rooming with him.

Sparkle swept the last of the floor as the others stacked the chairs, wiping his forehead and sighing happily in accomplishment. He put up the broom and put his coat and scarf on, saying goodbye to his fellow employees and walking down the sidewalk. It took him a while before he made it back to his brother's apartment. When he did he instantly fell onto the couch, not thinking about dinner but how warm the couch was compared to the outside. He sighed happily and curled up into it, taking out his phone and playing on it before dozing off.

Waking up early was never a problem. Coffee hardly slept as it was;  he sort of just lived off naps. Awake at 5, showered, dressed, and ready to go by 5:30, Coffee wrapped a scarf around his neck, covering part of his mouth with the red material. He really disliked this bipolar weather... Walking out, Coffee made his way outside and traveled to the café shop by foot. No college student wanted to be awake this early on a Saturday, but Coffee didn't mind it. He supposed that was the reason he never complained about working, much like other employees. Coffee's thoughts drifted as he walked downtown, breathing in the frigid morning air. He guessed that it would be a long day.

Sparkle jumped at the alarm clock, an eye closed and a whole half of his hair sticking up from the pillow. He slammed his hand on the clock on the coffee table several times before it stopped beeping. He smacked his lips a bit and rubbed at his eyes before rolling out of the couch in his blanket. He groaned and pouted as he sat on the floor in a blanket-burrito and didn't get up for a good long while. "Get up you dumbass its 5:50, don't you have work soon?" His older brother called from the bathroom, poking his head out with a toothbrush in his mouth."Yeaaahhhh finnee..." Sparkle whined. He hated when his brother called him that. He's not dumb...just tired... He got up and got ready, shooting out the door with no breakfast but with his bag in hand, too hard to put it all the way over his shoulder. He loved being in a rush, but if he was late, the manager would not be happy... He slammed through the doors of the cafe right before the clock striked 6:00 and he panted harshly, his eyebrows knitted and buttons of his coat in wrong places and his hair still sticking up. They had a half hour before shop opened, so he could fix it in the bathroom like always.

Coffee come into work a bit before 6:00, and the quiet was nice. He calmly started setting up things he was told to. Only, when the door was slammed into, Coffee jumped, fumbling with a stack of paper coffee cups before eventually dropping a few. He whipped around with wide eyes to see Sparkle, breathing as heavily as a runaway horse. Nervous beats of sweat began to form of Coffee's skin, and he picked up the fallen cups before placing them on the counter."Are...... um......" Coffee stammered, awkwardly walking over to the smaller boy. "Are you... alright... Sparkle...?" he asked timidly, arms outstretching slightly towards him, ready to assist him if he had to.

"NEVER BETTER COFFEE-CHAN!" Sparkle smiled brightly even though he was breathing so heavily and patted Coffee's shoulder very hard- though he didn't notice himself. Sparkle looked up at how Coffee was so close now, basically towering over him. "Wow Coffee-Chan you sure are tall aren't you?! You're taller than my big bro and THAT's pretty tall..." Sparkle rambled as he got ready for work, placing his bag on a wall rack and tying his apron behind his back.
