Is This Even Coffee?

Moon Drink

You came in a bit late again. This is what you get for staying up late on TikTok again. Thanks to TikTok though you found a drink recipe you wanted to try though. It seemed easy and a lot of people were talking about how good it taste and how it was like tasting the moon. You rushed to get ready for work and Yugi was there already.

"Late again?" Yugi teased as you rushed in.

"Shh!" You said loudly.

You could hear Yugi and some of the other customers laugh as you rushed into the back and put your belongings away. Once that was done you ran behind the counter and started putting your apron on. You were looking rough but you made it to work. You finished tidying up your apron as soon as Seto walked into the place. You ran over to the cash register to get Seto's order. You and Yugi make eye contact and smile.

"Are you making the blue drink?" He silently mouthed at you.

"No. Something better." You quietly said.

"What is it??" He silently said excitedly.

It's a surprise." You mouthed back and winked at him.

He giggled to himself and went back to making other customers drinks. When you turned back Seto was staring at you. You felt a breeze chill up your spine. This guy and his cold fucking stares.

"You know I can hear you two." He said and glared at both you and Yugi.

"Yes." You lied and you could feel your cheeks glow red.

You quickly put in his order and went to make his drink. You ran over to Yugi and tried not to die from the daggers you could feel from Seto. Yugi started to laugh and in turn you laughed with him. Quickly that was quieted by Seto clearing his voice. You got work making the drink.

The drink was being called the moon drink. It was an iced chai latte with two scoops of Matcha. The matcha made it a pretty green color. You hoped it tasted good. It sounded good at least. You served it up and went back to taking orders. From your peripheral you see Seto actually drinking it.

"Wow. Are you actually drinking something I made without complaint?" You teased him.

He takes another sip and stares at the drink. He sets it back down. "Remake it." He demands.

You pick up the drink and took a sip yourself. "Nah. It taste pretty good. Take it or leave it." You smirked and put the drink back down.

Seto stood there with his mouth opened. You stood there awkwardly looking back at him. Oh fuck what have you done. Ballsiest move but you could totally get fired for pulling a stunt like that. You can kiss this job goodbye. To everyone's surprise Seto rolled his eyes, took the drink and left. Internally you were fucking screaming. You could hear Yugi laugh behind you. You turn to him and shoot him a look. You both go back to work.

"I could cut the tension between you two with a knife." He laughed.

"Brooooo. That was fucking terrifying. I could be fired." You said.

"Nah. If he seems to be very into you." You stated.

"Into me??" You asked.

"Yeah. This is the most I've seen him get along with someone. I think he likes you." He teased.

"No way in hell. He tried to get me fired the first day." You argued.

"Maybe he found you too attractive to work here." He laughed.

"Ha ha ha." You said and stuck your tongue out at him.

You both eventually got quiet while working. You got to thinking. Maybe he does like you. It seemed weird but maybe that's why he puts up with you not making his order correctly. On the other hand, he could just be stubborn as all hell. You were pretty stubborn too. There's no way you'd date Seto though. He's too mean. You'd probably date Yugi, he's kinder. Quickly your thoughts were interrupted by Yugi.

"What did you make him?" He asked.

You both totally forgot about the drink. "Oh! I found this drink called the moon drink. Wanna try it?" You said.

"Yes! What happened to the blue drink?" He asked.

"Oh! I found the recipe, but I need to buy a few things that we don't have here." You responded.

"Is that allowed?" He asked.

You shrugged your shoulders. "Fuck it. I'm pretty sure I could get away with murdering someone in the store at this point." You stated.

He laughed. You laughed with him. Quickly after that the shop got filled. Everyone looked stressed. You guessed they were with the company. Even Seto came in for a cup. Guess something happened over there. You still weren't going to make him his regular coffee. He looked a little worn out, so you made him a cappuccino with 3 shots of expresso. He groaned but took off shortly after.

It was so busy you and Yugi didn't get to chatter or even make the drink you made for Seto earlier. The rush lasted for a long ass time. By the time the rush slowed down it was time to close. While Yugi told the last few people left in the place that it was time to close, you made the tiktok drinks. Then you both cleaned up and closed shop.

Once you and Yugi finished you presented the drinks. You already knew what it tasted like but Yugi didn't. You thought it was a pretty good drink! You. Watched as Yugi took a sip. He made a few silly faces that you got to laugh at.

"It just taste like spicy Matcha." He said plainly.

You stared at him. "Really?"

"Yeah. It's good. Just not something I'd drink often." He said.

You took a drink. He was right about spicy matcha but that shit tasted fucking good. Maybe it the milk base or the extra sugar you added to yours. You'd definitely make this for yourself again though. You both gathered your belongings and headed out. You locked the doors, and both started back to your cars.

That's when you made eye contact with him. He was waiting by your car again, probably to tell you to knock it off or some shit. Time to intimidate him you thought. You didn't have much left of your drink, so you chugged it and threw it at him. You hear Yugi gasp. Guess you forgot to mention the snowball fight incident. Seto dodged the smashed cup. Which was easy since you have a weak throw.

"You know there's a fine for littering?" He said calmly.

"I was gonna pick it up." You replied. Intimidation failed.

"Can we talk? Alone." He said that last bit while glaring at Yugi.

Yugi just nodded and went to his car. You watched as he started the car before Seto spoke.

"Don't do what you did today again." He demanded.

"I'm gonna be honest. I shouldn't have done that, but it was kind of funny." You replied.

He sighed. "Yes. Very funny." He said deadpan.

You chuckled a bit.

"Just don't do it again." He sternly said.

"Yeah, Yeah." You said as you walked past him to get into your car. This conversation was close to an end so might as well get in your car. Besides, it was still cold out and you just finished drinking an iced drink. You got in and turned on your car, when you heard a knock on your window. You rolled it down to be face to face with Seto's mid section and a crushed cup making contact with your face shortly after.

"You forgot this." He said.

"and you this." You said before giving him the bird and driving off.
