A/N: actions take place before veneer became popular and all that..
I have a headcanon that Velvet and Veneer are 20-25 years old, but the fact that there was official confirmation that they are teenagers doesn't bother me (Y/N are a 21y.o)😼

[3rd person POV]
The 21-year-old protagonist of this story leads a typical but cozy life surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the warm atmosphere of a charming café. Their days are filled with work behind the counter, where each customer becomes a part of this little corner of comfort.
(who doesn't understand, they work in a cafe)

A modest rented apartment serves as their home, and despite the lack of luxury, they find joy in simple things. However, despite outward confidence, a sense of loneliness slowly grows in their heart. In the silence without a partner, they begin to realize that they want something more than just mundane routines. Laziness took over her...

On a typical day, the protagonist noticed the entrance of twins with green hair. The twins found an empty table in the café, and despite their colleagues' laziness, the hero approached them. "Welcome to [café name]! Here's the menu, and I'll be back in a while for you to make your choice," they said warmly, neatly laying out the menu on the table and giving the twins space to decide.

About 10 minutes later, they returned with a small and compact notepad for taking orders, adorned with their favorite characters on the cover. "Are you ready to order?" they asked.

"Yes, I'll have an iced latte with almond milk, no syrup, and no sugar, and make it quick,"-the girl with green hair said a bit brusquely, glancing at her phone.

Despite [name] experiencing nerves with each customer, this situation made them a bit more anxious, though they tried not to show it. Quickly jotting everything down, they nervously glanced at the guy with green hair.

"I'll have the same, but with sugar, please,"-the guy said, smiling at [her name], which seemed to earn him a disapproving look from his sister.

They were surprised at how opposite they appeared. After noting everything, they said, "I'll be back soon with your order!"

[A short timeskip]

Veneer was captivated by their sense of style, and their voice was enchanting. Fear and uncertainty hindered his attempts to strike up a conversation. When [Name] brought the check, an unexpected twist occurred: the receipt displayed the name and number of the waiter (something quite rare but seemingly possible now). After taking the check, they left the café, with Velvet expressing dissatisfaction with the coffee, while Veneer had developed a fondness for the café and [Name]! Cliché but effective. Plans for frequent visits to the café and [Name] were already forming in his mind.

That evening,Veneer decided to message them:
"Hi! I'm Veneer, the guy who was with his sister. 😅😅 I'd like to get to know you, hope you don't mind. 🙂" (he was the one who used silly emojis to convey emotions). After sending the message, Veneer felt quite nervous sitting next to Velvet.

"Why are you so nervous?" she asked, looking at him.
"Nothing, everything's fine... don't worry," Veneer said, trying to hide his feelings.

Suddenly,Veneer heard a sound emanating from his phone - someone had messaged him! He quickly glanced at the screen, and Velvet, curious, decided to take a look.

"Well, well, I get it. I saw how you were looking at them. You're weird," Velvet said, giving him a sidelong glance.

"Velvet, back off," he replied with a resentful look. Understanding that he needed some time alone, Veneer headed to his room, expressing his dissatisfaction with Velvet and explaining how she was getting on his nerves.

(fuck, I'm so tired of writing this, CAN I BRIEFLY WRITE THIS DAMN-)

[Time skip]

In brief, [Name] and Venner exchanged quite a few messages; they became friends! [Name] and Veneer often met at the café, even started going for walks together.Veneer fell deeper in love with [Name], and it seemed reciprocated, given his tenderness and kindness towards them. Occasionally, he even gave her small gifts. As for Velvet, she got used to them, sometimes even exchanging greetings.

[Time skip]

On [Name]'s day off,Veneer invited them for a casual stroll around the city, and [Name] agreed. Quickly getting ready, they put on their favorite clothes.Venner met [Name] at their doorstep. BY THE WAY, VENEER IS PLANNING TO CONFESS TO THEM. They walked and talked until late into the night, enjoying ice cream and laughter. They decided to sit on a bench and have a heart-to-heart conversation. Suddenly,Veneer broke the silence, "[Name], I have something to tell you..."

"I'm listening."

"I want to tell you that I love you very much. I can't live without you anymore, and my thoughts are only filled with you. When I close my eyes, I see only you. I'm crazy about you! I love you every second, minute, hour, day, and night. Weeks, months, years, and centuries... We found each other among millions, and now we're two halves of one big heart. If you don't feel the same, I won't be able to live anymore because the heart can't beat only halfway... No one will ever fully understand and feel my love for you. No one will ever comprehend how deeply I love you because no one else on Earth is gifted with the ability to love to madness, to absurdity, giving oneself completely to someone without expecting anything in return. I just want to make you the happiest! I love you!

I'll give you the sunrise, the moon, and the stars, moonlight. And the gentle breeze, as delicate as a lip touch. I'll give you myself because I love you!"

[Name] was stunned by these words; he seemed to have rehearsed these words, too many "I love you." "Wow, well, too many 'I love you,'" their cheeks blushed in embarrassment, while Veneer just stared at them, trying to comprehend what he had said, hanging there looking at them.

"...I love you too,Veneer," they said, taking his snow-white hands.
