I met you in the cafe shop

2.

After the incident Aether couldn't help but felt worried for Xiao.

"Aether"

Aether stop thinking about Xiao and flinch at the voice from behind And turns around

"Aether is something the matter? Because you look like your over thinking about something"

Aether blush

"I'm sorry...."

Albedo sighs

"It's alright but more customers are coming in so let's get back to work"

Aether nodded

As Aether was waiting for the next person in line for their order, Albedo sees how stressed Aether was so he walks towards him.

"Aether"

Aether pick up his head and was about to turn until Albedo hugged him from behind

"Whatever is bothering you...please come to me"

Aether feels himself turning red

"Y-Yes"

Aether was about to say something until

"Aether?"

Aether look up to see Xiao

"It's not what it looks like"

Xiao look at Albedo and raise his eyebrow

"We're not together he was just comforting me-"

Xiao sighs

"Yeah that's none my business what I'm here is for a coffee"

Albedo stop hugging Aether

"Well I better start working"

Aether couldn't make eye contact with Xiao

"Xiao I'm still worried you're going to get hurt-"

"That's none of your concern"

Aether frowned from that response

"It is my concern if you get hurt"

"Listen we just met yesterday night we're not friends or anything else."

Xiao rolls his eyes and walks towards an empty table waiting for his coffee

'Why is he so rude I'm trying to help him not get into fights.....' Aether thought to himself

"Aether I'm done with the coffee, you can give it to Xiao"

Aether nodded and walks around the counter to walk towards Xiao's table.

Aether place the coffee on the table

"Xiao please tell me why you're irritated"

Aether sits down next to Xiao

"you don't know how much trouble you got yourself into"

Xiao takes a sip of his coffee and reaches for his pocket to grab his phone. He was looking through his phone and then gets a text message so he tap on it and read the message.

Xiao puts his phone back into his pocket and turns to Aether which he looks anxious.

"I'm just going back to work"

Aether was about to get up until Xiao grabbed his hand

"No wait"

"I thought you were mad at me"

Aether look away from him

"No really mean it I need to tell you something-"

"Excuse me he needs to go back to work"

Xiao glares at Albedo

"Well I have something important to tell him"

Aether sighs and looks at Xiao

"Xiao just take my number...I need to work"

Aether takes his notepad and writes his number which he handed to Xiao.

Aether waved goodbye and walks towards the counter leaving Albedo and Xiao.

"It seems like you finish your coffee I guess you need to leave"

Xiao rolls his eyes

"I still have some coffee and Aether isn't your boyfriend"

Albedo chuckled

"I simply wanted him to work and I never said he was my boyfriend"

Xiao gets up from his seat

"This is stupid I'm not arguing over Aether"

Xiao walks past Albedo leaving the money on the table for the coffee.

He walks towards the outside door and looks at the window seeing Albedo already next to Aether.

He looks at the notepad and reach for his phone in his pocket and typed Aether's phone number.

He look at the window again and saw Albedo with Aether still but closer. Albedo was behind Aether teaching Aether how to make coffee. He saw how Aether gives Albedo a warm smile while Albedo laid his chin on Aether shoulder-

'What the hell I should be getting going why I'm just standing here' Xiao thought.
