It has become an unhealthy routine for Technoblade to forget eating. It happened almost everyday and he couldn't remember the last time he had a proper breakfast.
That day his stomach was grumbling extra loud which was to be expected because he hadn't had dinner the day before.
So when he saw the small bakery at the side of the street he gave in to what his Body wanted and stepped in. The quiet ringing of a small bell could be heard as soon as he opened the door.
Once inside Techno was immediately was surrounded by the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries.
He noticed how warm and welcoming the place was in general. Not many costumers were there which was perfect for his antisocial soul.
He made his way up to the register and waited for someone to come and take his order. Not much later a guy came hastily behind the register.
"I'm so sorry, I hope you didn't have to wait for to long" The H/C male said. He probably was one of the bakers because he was still waring an apron where you could still see small traces of flour.
"Oh no I just came in actually." Techno replied
"That's good to hear! One of our staff members fell sick so I have to help out with baking all the stuff..." He said while awkwardly scratching his neck.
"Anyways, have you decided what you want to get yet?" The guy asked and looked him in the eyes. Techno couldn't help but notice how intense they were. A beautiful shade of E/C.
"Uhm... I just want a black coffee and one of your croissants."
"Do you want a chocolate one? They are fresh out of the oven and still warm. Trust me its one of the best things you'll ever try." Told him the other male excitedly. If Techno was being honest, he found it kind of cute how he talked so passionately about the baked goods they sell.
"Then I'll take one of those."
"Great, do you want to eat here?"
"Uh, no, I don't think so."
"Okay, a coffee to go and a chocolate croissant it is." He enthusiastically started to make his coffee and put the croissant into a little bag.
"That will be 3.45$" Techno quickly paid for the stuff and made his way back home.
When he finally arrived at his place he took out a book and sat down. Time to see if the croissant actually tasted as good as the guy from the café told him.
As he took the first bite he realized that the boy wasn't lying. That shit tasted like fucking heaven.
He regretted not buying another one.
Over the next week Techno found himself visiting the small café almost every day, not just because the stuff there tasted amazing but because he seemed to have grown a crush on the cute guy that was working there.
He actually eat in the café most of the time just to stare at the boy behind the register, even though his introverted-self screamed at him to just go back into his room.
He even tried making some conversation and found out that the boys name was Y/N. They discovered that they're both quiet interested in Greek mythology and told each other the different interpretations they had for some of thee stories.
Techno really wanted to ask for his phone number but was just too much of a coward to do it. Every time he visited he told himself that today is the day he was going to ask. He even made a small prep talk but once he stepped inside he always got so nervous that he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
But the chain is going to stop today! Today he is going to ask for Y/ns number. Maybe even invite him on a date. Yes, he is going to finally do it. At least that's what he told himself while he walked the familiar way to the bakery.
Once he got inside he was greeted by the quit ringing of the bell. Y/N was as usual behind the register and when he saw Techno his eyes started to light up.
"Hello Techno, good to see you again Today, how are you doing?"
"Oh I'm doing fantastic." He replied trying to stop being so god damn nervous.
"Mmh, that good to hear. You want the usual?" Y/n asked
"Sure" He said
They made some more conversation and then his order was ready.
"So Y/N... You think that maybe we could meet up someday? Like, not here in the bakery but in private...?"
He asked and couldn't bring himself to look the other in the eyes. Oh my God he was such an Idiot, of course Y/N would not want to do that. Techno was just like every other costumer and Y/N was just being friendly to him because he's just doing his job. He shouldn't have asked, at least not this ea-
His thoughts were interrupted by Y/N's voice "Sure, I would love to!"
"Really?" Techno asked, not believing that this was actually happing.
"Of Course, you seem like a pretty nice guy and I would love to get to know you more"
"Uhm great, that's great..." Techno said still in a small daze.
Y/N smiled at the cute behaviour of the other male.
"Well Techno, we're closing soon so you'll need to take your order home with you."
"Oh" he said, a bit sad he couldn't talk to Y/N a bit more
"Or you could wait till I'm finished and we could eat together you know" Y/N sheepishly said while fidgeting with his fingers.
Techno's eyes lit up at the offer .
"I'd like that."
