Coffee after work

It was a nice day out in Belgium and you just got back from China a few weeks ago. You were so happy to see your old house, your old friends and all the places you've been to before you moved. But the thing you missed the most was not the amazing smell coming from festivals everyday, it was him , the only person you would never forget, you Dear old friend Tintin. You met him a long time ago, when you got kicked out of the house by your parents. You were just waiting for death when you noticed a boyish figure staring at you. 'You ok little guy? " He asked. "Umm, ye" I said calmly . To which he responded "On, well I just saw you aloneso I just wanted to make sure". He seemed concerned. You would never forget This moment. No one has ever evoked this kind of emotion in you.

Once back in Belgium, you got an idea of how to spend your day, you were gonna so to the park and draw some people. "It would be a good practice'' you thought to yourself. The sun was shining so you decided to go by walk. Tintin on the other hand Was in his office working on another mystery. He was working on this one for weeks now but he still couldn't get who would do something like that . He was very frustrated and so he decided to go clear his mind in the park. You sat down next to a tree and started drawing. A few hours have gone by when you smelled a vague smell of coffee above your head. A person had been staring at you drawing. It reminded you of the moment you met Tintin. Your stomach filled with butterflies. "Oh Tintin, it you only knew how much I lo.... Miss, miss you" You mumbled. You never realized what you actually felt. . .You looked up above your head and Saw a familiar looking face . It was Tintin. In pure embarrassment, Your whole face turned bright red. He giggled, "I missed you too Y/N! "he said. You apologized and got up. While you were Standing right in front of him ,He was speechless. In his opinion, you've grown to look definitely more pretty than when you last saw each other. Although he found you very pretty before, now he didn't even know what to say. After a moment of silence, he snapped back to reality. "I-,im...Umm. . .so – sorry Y/ N" You're just SO...." " Different?" I said "Yea. I guess" He replied. You smiled, After a while of catching up, you checked your watch to realize that you 'have a giant assignment due tomorrow. "Oh Fuck "Tintin looked Uncomfortable, he never liked it when you sweared. "Sorry it's just that I have some work to do and it's due tomorrow... I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish it , it's so late. " You excused yourself with worry. "Oh, well I can surely help you finish it" he replied. You insisted that there's no need and that you'll finish it by Yourself "No, No, it's fine, and besides, it's art so I'm not sure if you can help with that" You laughed but Tintin insisted on helping you. He wouldn't let go so you had to accept. "Welp, we should better get going if we want to finish it by today" he said. So there you were going home together, it was the last thing you would have imagine doing this evening but it was the one thing you wanted to do the most. Titin's hair was flowing in the light wind and the light reflected on his beautiful black eyes. «So, do you still live in your family house they left you "he asked, You nodded your head. «Cool, I like it there, It always smells nice " you both laughed As you were in the same alley as the house, he closened his hand to yours, eventually grabbing .You looked at him confused while he just smiled. Your heart started to beat faster You didn't expect him to do that but You didn't complain. You liked it . The beautiful moment was broken by the young man's voice indicating you have arrived. Tintin politely opened the door for you " Ladies first " he jokingly said. "Thank you, sir " you responded. "Sir?" He asked, "You could start calling me that more, haha" As you both entered, you asked him if he wanted tea . "Sure" he replied "Mind if I turn on the radio ? "He asked " of course not" You replied. A sound of smooth jazz filled the room. Your face light up red. Tintin, noticed that, he asked " Are you ok Y/N, you look feverish " "Mhm " You replied. But in fact you Were dying of embarrassment. "Ok, so any ways let's get to work, what's the assignment about ?" You told him that you had to draw a portrait of someone and Then paint it "Oh. . . well l don't mind your drawing me, let's see how you've improved over the years". "Really? "Yeah, why not ? ""Ok Then, Let's get to work , here – . . . You brought him a chair- sit on this and DON'T MOVE"As you took a pencil to sketch it out, your hands strated excessively shaking. «Why am I so nervous? I've drawn him so many times before but There's something different about it this Time . . ."You thought to yourself .You finally decided on how to start, you focused on The music and let your hand flow over the paper. Half an hour passed and you've finally finished sketching. You took The canvas off The support and stared at it you Zoned out . You jumped and snapped Back to reality when you heard " So, how is it?" over your shoulder. Tintin was standing behind you, you could feel his light breath on the back of your neck."Jeez, you could have give n me aheart attack" you said, he laughed. Yor made eye contact with him for about 30 seconds. Those were the best 30 seconds of your life. «You know, I should let you draw me more often " he liked your attention over him "Oh-I" you were interrupted by a dinging sound coming from your phone I you checked it and an email appeared. "Oh, the assignment Was moved due next week "Oh, cool, so you can do it later" " why would l ? I already started so I might as well finish it " You said To which Tintin Replied" Well you might also make some time" "For what? «I asked «For me " said Tintin as he moved closer to you. You, Who thought he was joking pushed him away and laughed. Tintin on the other hand tried to hide his embarrassment by a light giggle. To avoid an awkward situation, Tintin excused himself saying that It was already late and that he probably get going. «But, um... if you would like, we could get coffee or something sometime. . . We don't have to of course " he said, not wanting to make it seem like he wasn't interested because he indeed was. You, who didn't think much of it, agreed. The journalist was delighted. A few days had passed by, Tintin was just quickly visiting the captain before heading to coffee with you . While he was next to door, heading out, thecaptain wanted to ask him a question, "sure what is it? Titin asked. " Why do you seem so exited, you look Way more happy than usual?.. "The captain said. Titin's face light up red. "Oh . .. Well – I – um...-the awkwardly laughed- I . . . . I'm going to grab some coffee with uhh Y/N . "Aha ! – the captain exclaimed- a date ! And here I was thinking you'll never fall for anyone ! Haha'. Oh boy well go have fun you two!". "It's not a date!At least I don't thinkso. . . And it's really not what it looks like, okay?! She just came back from China so I just want to catch up. " The young boy said. "right, right . . ." the captain smirked which made Tinting roll his eyes. Once at the café , you stood up to greet him.While yovw were shaking hands, Tintin noticed That your hands were particularly cold,although he didn't say any thing, he already knew what happened. "Y/N-he said – did you stay up all night again ?" ( he never liked when you stayed up late and overwork yourself, and you knew that very well ). "Umm... no, whaaaaat ? of course not . " You responded. Tintin couldn't hide the disappointment and pinched the bridge of his nose, he sighed "You can't do that, Y\N-he said-you take your whole life to work, you have to relax Sometimes you know?" "I know, I know but it was really important, I swear !'' '' it always is..'' he said under his breath. Anyways, - he changed the subject- how was China the last few years?'' '' oh ou know, i visited a lot of places that's for sure but I missed it here, I missed you a lot...''. the young reported didn't know what to say to that, he especially didn't know in what way you meant it. '' but hows the captain?'' you asked, Tintin still completely thrown off by what you just said wasn't really paying attention. '' huh? Oh-sorry! The captain? Yeah, he's good I guess, didn't really change-he let out a small giggle-'' you nodded as a sin of affirmation. You didn't really know what to say, finally the silence was broken by a waiter '' And what would be for the couple here?'' he asked. You quickly protested that were not- I you were interrupted b Tintin casually screaming '' WERE NOT A DANG CIUPLE'' you could notice his face turn a light shade of red. '' I= im so sorry its just that so many people say that just to tease that its beginning to get a bit annoying==
