1. Problems

TW: body dysphoria, SH mention

Y/n POV:
waking up in an empty bed is new but also very normal to me. for context, I've recently just got out of a relationship with a guy named jay, i'm ashamed to even think about him, what a dickhole. Anyway, the reason behind our breakup is because apparently, the self-centred prick was blatantly transphobic towards me and was not supportive at all. But enough about him, isn't life all about moving forward? at least that's what parents say to their kids when they don't have a clue why life is worth living.

I turn over to face my obnoxious alarm clock blaring, giving it a heavy handed smack to signal I don't give two shits if it's morning, I have nothing exciting to look forward to thanks for reminding me. I pick up my phone and my eyes land on the first notification which was a message, with title mum.
"for fuck sake."
I open the message to see 'D/N stop this childish act and come see your mother.' wow, she really doesn't like the fact that I changed my name does she? and also, yeah fuck no. For more context, I had planned on cutting complete contact from my mum, she only made my life a misery. I threw my phone to the end of my bed not caring if it hit the floor or not, and heading towards my bathroom to take a shower, but not before eyeing the mirror or the reflection it comes with.
"Yikes. what a state." yeah I really hate what I see in the mirror. it's just disgusting to me. my chubby thighs, my stretch marks, my acne, my self harm scars in several areas and the fact you can see my boobs even with an over sized hoodie on. I've been saving up for top surgery for years but I still have bills to pay and life essentials to afford, I guess it will have to wait. I strip as fast a could trying not to catch a glimpse of my naked self in the mirror because it would probably ruin my whole day. I turn on the shower letting the hot water run down my body, which was comforting. I wash my hair and body in as little as 10 minutes then turning the handle of the shower making the water come to a stop, while hopping out rapping a clean towel around my body. I drag my hand across the steamed up mirror and start doing the essentials, like brushing my teeth and washing my face etc. Eventually leaving the bathroom and drying myself off, then started putting on two binders , because one doesn't do a good enough job and started throwing on some clothes. I grab my phone from the edge of my bed and check the time, 7:30.
"I guess I have time for breakfast, before I go." But before that, I need to dry my hair.
After giving my hair a quick waft, I head to my small ass kitchen to make my self something to eat. I settle on a bagel, so I start to cut it into two pieces before putting them into the toaster. I check my phone quickly and realise I have a text from my best friend George, yes the GeorgeNotFound. The text read 'hey Y/n how are you? I heard about you and Jay, i'm sorry but I told you he was an asshole.' I slightly laugh at the message and reply with 'hello! I know you were right. I just wish I realised sooner instead of shaking off the sly comments, slurs and name calling. but I'm fine dw hru? :)' after the message sent my bagel popped up, signalling it was time to spread the butter. After eating I put my dirty plate in the sink which I would clean later after work, picked up my phone, bag and coat because it was like 3 degrees today, then saying goodbye to my cat Myka and soon enough I was heading out the door. Walking towards to tube station I opened a message from George, 'like I said i'm always right :) but in all seriousness I am sorry because you did not deserve that shitbag, you deserve someone amazing. also I'm great thank you! I'm planning on streaming tonight, you should join me on discord I have someone I want you to meet, you'll definitely like him.'
Come to think of it, I haven't been streaming a lot lately. mainly because of the breakup and working a lot, but streaming with George does sound nice and I get to meet this anonymous guy. I reply with 'thanks George :) and yes definitely! that sounds cool, and this anonymous guy sounds interesting aha.' Just as my train was pulling in, I walked across the platform into the tube and sat down, I check the time which was 8:00. Right on time! I'll be able to open and set up for 8:20, I work at a coffee shop by the way. it's nothing fancy or name branded, just an average coffee shop and I like it.
I reach my stop, and stand up just as the doors were opening so I step out and make my way through the underground and down the street to the shop. I reach into my pocket and grab my keys to unlock the door, I walk in and start walking towards the back room so I can hang up my coat and bag. I check my phone once again and see a text reading 'great! talk to you later :)' I turn off my phone and put on my apron, making sure to wash my hands aswell. I walk over to the door and switch the sign from closed to open. After about 10 minutes my two co-workers Charlie and Beth walk in, they wave and say good morning and head to the back room so they can get their aprons on too. Just then a customer walked in and I filled in their order, my shift had officially began.

The shift was finally ending after a very long day, Charlie and Beth had already headed home because I was the one who was closing up, fantastic i say to myself. that was sarcasm. I was tired and just wanted to go home and stream with George. I stretch and lock the till when I hear a familiar bell ring, which was the shops front door 'shit' I mutter, I should have locked that first. But I lift my head and see a very tall, lanky guy probably around 6'5 but apart from his height which was quite intimidating coming from someone who is 5'5, he had an extremely handsome face. He had brown fluffy, curly hair that was covered with a beanie but still showed a lot of his fringe that he brushed out of his face, his jawline was sharp that also held a bit of stubble. His eyes were a deep brown and swear they slightly twinkled when the dim shop lights hit them. I realised I was staring to long because I jumped a little when the man spoke
"Hello, are you okay?"
"oh! yes sorry I was staring for too long, I must of been lost in thought."
"so sorry if I startled you, I was just wondering if your still open?"
"I was going to start closing up but it's no bother if you want to order." I smile
"are you sure? I don't want to drag your hours especially if you've already had a long shift."
"nonsense! honestly, it's fine. what can I get you?"
"oh bless you! thanks, can I have a cappuccino please."
"no problem at all, of course! I'll make it for you now" he smiles and chuckles slightly, his smile was so lovely I thought to myself. While preparing his drink we start up some small talk.
"you live around?"
"you meet me for 5 minutes and you already want to know my address?" I laugh.
"No! I'm just curious I swear. In fact the shop is only a 5 minute walk away from my apartment." he chuckled.
"I'm joking! honestly. And yes I do live in the city I take the tube everyday from my house which is around 10 minutes. Did you recently find out about this place?"
"Yes actually my friend recommended this place to me and said it was really nice, so I'm expecting a masterpiece." he jokes and smiles
"Sorry to get your hopes up, but I'm just a broke uni student that makes coffee don't expect a 'masterpiece'." I smile while turning around putting a lid on the coffee cup.
"oh you're a uni student! me too, what are you majoring in?"
"Don't call me a nerd but I'm majoring in history, astronomy and mythology. And you?" I laugh while handing his drink to him. he smiles very sweetly while taking the cup.
"That's awesome! oh my god" he said excitingly "all I'm doing is film & media." He says embarrassed I blush slightly while smiling.
"Film & media sounds so cool! no need to be embarrassed by that, I can see you being a director of some sort. And actually your the first person to not call me a nerd for liking astronomy & history." I ruffle my hair slightly while speaking.
"Fuck the people who said that! science is awesome dude, I wish I payed more attention in history and science because maybe then I would know a lot more aha." he laughs, and I smile with my teeth as I wipe the counter. He sips his drink slowly and I turn to him
"You're welcome to sit down, I can clean the tables in a bit." I smile
"ah thank you. want to sit with me? we can chat a bit more if I'm not boring you." he chuckles and looks down slightly. I look up at him and blush a bit.
"sure! why not, you seem like a nice bloke" We both laugh as I make my way around the counter to the table he was sat at. He takes off his beanie revealing his whole head of hair and for some reason I blushed at that. what the fuck is wrong with me today?
