Athena's POV
I huffed as I pulled the last of my boxes up the stairs, dropping it in front of my door and pushing it open, I dropped the boxes, nothing fragile so I didn't care. I didn't feel like unpacking, I was more than excited to go explore the city and unpacking was the last of my priorities. I slid on my oversized cardigan, fixing up my hair and grabbing my tote.
I plugged in my earbuds, putting the music at full blast "people like you always want back what they can't have..." annoyingly enough the volume escaped my earbuds. I attempted to turn it off, silently cussing at myself and turning the volume down. I heard a little laugh next to me, a tall brown haired boy walking towards the elevator with me. "Sorry..." I took a closer look at him, and then at the cover art for the song. "Is that you-?" "Yea" he took a sip of the coffee in his hand and showed me a small smile.
Whoah, my first day here and I already met a celebrity. "You just moved here, right?" "Yea..." I held my arms close to my stomach, feeling intimidated by Conan. "I like your cardigan" I looked down to remember which one I put on, the white wool cardigan with little red starts plastered on the sleeves. "Thanks" I smiled. We got down to the first floor, going out the door next to each other. "Where are you headed?" "Just exploring a bit, maybe a cafe? You have any recommendations?"
This man loved coffee, he talked about every cafe in the area, the good and the bad. "Well from what you told me just now I assume little sweet cafe is your favorite?" He stopped in his tracks and tugged on the hem of my sweater, signaling for me to look up. "Welcome to the best cafe in New York" he smiled. I Followed him in, his smile lighting up the employee faces.
"Brought a friend Conan?" He Just nodded and started to order, asking me what I wanted. I just got a black iced coffee, onto the order he added some pastries. Insisting that I needed to try them. Before he could pay I slipped my card into the cashiers hand. "Hey! It was my treat" "I have to pay my tour guide somehow" I blushed, getting my card and putting it away.
"Next time it's my treat" "next time?" I questioned as we waited. "I can't just make a friend and then ghost them" I suppose he was right. We sat down in a little booth, Conan setting up the coffees and pastries in order. "This is my favorite but I think you would like this one" "Ah, why?" "It's Sweet, you're Sweet" wow, he's already flirting.
I took a bite out of the scone, creamy sweet cream coming from the inside. I nodded my head with a smile. "How'd you even find this place?" I took a sip of the coffee, it tasted so...perfect? "I was walking when all of a sudden it started raining, I ran to the nearest building and I walked in here. It looked really cozy and I love coffee so I had to get some" I could imagine a soggy Conan running through the streets of NY, wet tote bag and frizzy hair, adorable.
"It's so...nice in here" the inside was decorated with indie posters, records on the wall and plants in every corner. They had a little reading section which I thought was cute too. A record player in the corner with a snack of both new and old vinyls. "Oh Athena, I forgot to ask what apartment you moved into" he placed his phone down, hand holding up his chin with his hand.
He's so perfect I can't get over it, I tried
hard not to stare but he's perfect. Not a single blemish on his pale skin, his curls were perfect too, a warm chocolate color that turned a light brown in the sun."Athena...?" "Oh, sorry, what did you say?" "What apartment did you move into?" His face had turned slightly red, hiding himself as he dug through his bag. Finding his glasses. "Floor 10, room 107" he gasped, apologizing with a little laugh. "That's one apartment from mine" Whoah, I live right next to a cute singer. How did I get this lucky?
We talked some more about random things, he said he was gonna need to show me around because he doesn't want me to get lost. "Thank you for showing me around" i blushed, holding the 3 colorful flowers Conan had bought at a random red light. "Anytime...like literally I'm a door down" he giggled, fixing his cute little glasses.
"Goodnight Athenaaaa" he dragged, before he left I trapped him into a hug, thanking him one last time and fluffing up his hair. "I really thought it was gonna be softer" "I put too much moose okay?" He laughed, pulling me back into the hug and placing a little kiss on the top of my head. "So long neighbor" "bye!!" I closed the door, squealing once I heard his door close.
I know most of Conan's songs are about heartbreak and depression...but maybe I could give the fans a love song or two.A/n:
