Lunch Break

I don't know how long it's been since he's stopped coming to our cafe, but I just know something's off.

He'd usually rant about his day or new project he was doing, around lunch I'd say? But either way once he stopped coming it started to get more and more quieter.

I heard someone was put to trial for some explosion? But once I saw some enforcers pass by, and I think it was more than an explosion. Then some sort of discovery was made with some blue thing—

*Ring*
*Ring*

I heard my timer go off, my shift is almost over.. I think I should pay him a visit maybe give him some freebies. Nah I'll charge him like one cent out of spite.

I rush to grab some of his regular orders and- "Ah you're here!! that's great bye!!!" I yell to my coworker rushing out the door Viktor's lunch almost ends in a few..

I think.

God this coffee is hot I really hope it doesn't get cold ughhh wait did I forget to close the— shut up you're probably gonna be late. The receptionist lady looks nice, lets hope her personality matches.

"Uh hello, I'm here to deliver Viktor a gift?" God why did you say gift you should have said lunch, I shake the bag and hold the coffee higher up. Wait but if I had said lunch I'd prob be more suspicious—
"Ok.. and your name is?" I cough and I straighten myself up "[ FN ] [ LN ]"

She writes my name down and sends me up to the second to last floor. I knock on the large door before checking the paper she gave me, I hope he's here.

I start tapping my foot furiously. I should have used something to hold the coffee, at least I know it's still hot. As I'm contemplating my existence someone opens the door.

My eyes go wide... wait shit is this the right door.. fuck it

"Uh, is Viktor here? I have something for him.." I shoot an awkward smile towards the stranger as I wait for a response "Ah, yeah he's here" Most of my anxiety melts away "Viktor!!!" He yells, shit.. I mean I came here to see him so..

"What is it," He replies not even getting up, you could see the back of his hair, god ughhh it looks so good. "Some delivery boy wants to see you" My brows furrowed, did...he just call me.. a delivery boy..??? I mean he's not wrong but.

Viktor groans his seat screeching as he got up "I don't think I— or you bought anything" He replied limping over and rubbing his temple. As he slowly opened his eyes they widened.

"[ FN ]?? what are you doing here?" Ah yes, finally my anxiety is gone
" Well you haven't been to the cafe for like a long time and I just decided to bring you a little something" His mouth parted as a light blush consumed his cheeks or so I think, it's hard to tell from the lighting.

"The coffee's probably like cold by now since it stopped burning my hand, or I just burned most of my nerves off.. you never know" Viktor allows a quiet chuckle to slip out, it's cute. I reach my hand out, and he gladly takes the coffee.

"Wait, you know him?" The stranger questions " Of course — I go to their family's cafe, it's near.." he struggled to remember "the start of Zaun" "Wait Zau—"Ooo Vik is this what you've been working on?" I said in awe, getting closer to the rough blue orb near the table Viktor had been working on earlier.

Viktor coughed "yes, but not exactly—" I placed down the brown paper bag and almost touched it. "Wait am I allowed to touch it? or is it like dangerous" "Depends" The stranger replies "Depends??" I answer in shock, backing away a bit.

"Well am I able to touch the metal surrounding it?" "Were you even..??" Viktor let out a sigh "Yes you can it's not even turned on" "Good cause it looks too smooth not to touch."

I admired it but also remembered
"Oh yeah I should probably get going" I say turning back to Viktor, making him tilt his head. "Doesn't your break end in.. erm.. 40-ish more minutes?" I chuckle a little,

"Well that's not the complete reason but I just don't want to distract you from your work" Viktor made a confused expression

"But you're not distracting me..?" "Enjoy the meal, expect me to keep doing this whenever you miss lunch"
I leave closing the door, but I can still hear their conversation.

"Well that was something, lets see what you got.." I could hear the sound of the paper bag crinkling "Oo blueberry muffin" "Jayce, this is my lunch.. who said I was sharing?" "too late"

I let out a small chuckle as I walk away, that went well. Oh his name's Jayce.

Fuck I forgot to charge him one cent.

"You guys got some chemistry" Viktor scoffed as a red tint reached his cheeks "We've just know each other for a long time that's all" "Unlike you, I'm proud to say I'm not to afraid to take them if you won't"

"What are you implying..?" Viktor's brows furrowed and he frowned "His baking is really good — and they seems cool" Jayce said finishing his muffin "I know that's not what—" "Never knew you were that possessive" Viktor scoffs turning his back to jayce picking out other pastries.

haha bi jayce
