"So I was at home for the holidays and they bust out with the usual question. Akiha, Kuraha and Kinuha. 'Where's your boyfriend?'" she sighed, pulling up her long blonde hair into a ponytail.

"They have reasons for asking." The brunet besides her fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, crossing his arms.

"So they can embarrass me in front of him? No thank you."

"White chocolate mocha latte?" The two of them looked towards the source of the voice. A boy with dark, midnight purple hair and glowing blue eyes was leaning over the counter, two cups steaming in front of him. "Kazuma?" The two of them went to the counter, fixing their coats.

"Veena, they just want you to be happy."

"And embarrass me." The two mumbled a 'thank you' to the barista and moved to another spot within the coffee shop.

As their chat continued, Veena couldn't help but feel as if someone was watching her. Still focusing on her conversation, she let her eyes wander, trying to see who in the coffee shop was looking at her. Her violet eyes met a light blue one, the exact ones that had been staring at her.

She started to zone out, focusing only on the enticing blue eyes that seemed to be looking down at her coffee cup and back up at her eyes. Curious as to what was so interesting for him to be staring at her cup, she rose her cup to look at it.

The Christmas spirit had impregnated Starbucks, so the cups were red with snowflakes. Besides the cup sleeve to keep herself from burning her hand, the cup had a slip of paper that had a short code for her order and Kazuma's name. But what really got her interest was the writing on the paper.

"Are you the sun? Because damn, you're hot." Her eyes stared at the scribbles on the note before looking back up at the blue eyed barista. He gave a smirk and a wink, making Veena laugh.

"Veena?" This snapped her attention back to her companion, who was watching her curiously. She brought her hand up to her mouth, hiding her smile.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Veena hooked her arm around Kazuma's and they exited the coffee shop.

Kazuma and Veena continued their conversation as they made their way back to their dorm rooms from the coffee shop on campus.

"Veena." She was looking down at the scribbled note on her cup. "Aren't you going to throw that away?" She stared at Kazuma for a while before carefully, yet quickly removing the note off the cup and tossing it in the trash.

"Yes, sorry." She smiled, folding the small paper in half and placed it into her pocket.

"Do you work today?" Veena lifted her right arm into the air, allowing her sleeve to ride down her arm to look at her watch.

"Half an hour. You?" She fixed her sleeve, shielding herself from the cold.

"Not tonight." Veena hummed disappointedly.

"And I'm off tomorrow too." He gave a disappointed sigh. "We'll meet up for some coffee before your shift." She promised. He gave a nod and they parted ways.

Veena went into her dorm room, in hopes to find temporary warmth from the snow. Kazuma and Veena both lived on campus, Kazuma in the dorms down the street, and they both worked for the campus public library.

Veena packed herself some dinner and headed back out to the snow, towards the library. Her boots crunched in the snow as she walked to the library, she couldn't help but wonder about her encounter at the coffee shop earlier that day. The boy whose blue eyes were extremely mysterious yet attractive. She had never seen him around before, so he must be new to the area.
