Lukas Bondevik had simply wanted a coffee.
That's all he wanted.
Of course, somebody had to make it complicated.
Luckily, that somebody was a cute blonde stranger named Mathias at Starbucks.
"Hey! Morning!" Mathias chirped happily that October morning, always excited to see new customers. "May I take your order? The usual, Lukas?"
Lukas's soft violet eyes flickered. "Sure. Thanks."
Mathias set to work, quickly preparing Lukas a Caramelized Honey Latte, handing it to him with a bright smile. Mathias had even taken the care to make sure he spelt Lukas's name correctly on the cup.
Mathias watched as Lukas went and sat at a table in the coffee shop, and he couldn't help but admire him. He knew Lukas was known for being rather bitter, but so was the coffee Mathias served.
And Mathias loved coffee.
"Hey, lover boy." His coworker, Arthur, snapped at him. "Are you paying attention to anything I'm saying?"
"Yeah, yeah-"
"Then what have I said?"
"Probably something about your boyfriend. What is it?"
Arthur sighed as he threw an empty Starbucks cup at Mathias.
"Listen. Rush hour's long over, you can go a flirt with him. I can handle the three more orders of the day."
The three more orders of the day were two usuals and Arthur's boyfriend Alfred, who usually came near the end of Arthur's shift and gave him a ride home after ordering a coffee.
Mathias slipped out from behind the bar, towards Lukas's reserved sulking table.
"Hey. Mind if I sit here?"
"I don't mind."
Mathias sat down awkwardly, and the two sat in complete silence for about ten seconds before Arthur cleared his throat loudly.
"So yeah. Um, what's up with you?" Mathias stuttered.
"Did your friend dare you to do this or something?"
Arthur laughed in the background. Mathias shot him a look.
"Not completely."
"At least you're semi-honest."
~~~~~
"Well that ended horribly." Mathias grumbled after Lukas had left.
"Not my fault. I guess you just don't know how to flirt." Arthur said.
"Not like you're any better, to be honest." Alfred piped in.
"Whose side are you on?" Arthur snapped, before turning back to Mathias. "Mathias, you're lonely, you need somebody." Alfred nodded.
"God, no wonder you two are together." Mathias sighed.
Mathias got up and went to work cleaning the tables, trying to avoid Alfred and Arthur's attempts to be matchmakers, yet most likely fucking things up royally between him and Lukas.
Cleaning the table Lukas had sat at, Mathias noticed a small piece of paper that had been ripped from a notepad, with some neat handwriting.
A phone number.
Mathias went home that night, and looked closer at the number. He'd never seen what Lukas's handwriting looked like, but this looked like what he'd imagine it would be. Staring at his phone, Mathias began slowly typing in every number.
Hit call. Just hit call.
He didn't hit call.
"For helvede." Mathias whispered in his native language, flopping down on his couch.
Hey. Are you alive?
Arthur - 9:45pm
No
Mathias - 9:46pm
Bloody hell, what happened?
Arthur - 9:46pm
Lukas left his phone number on his table, and I'm too much of a fisse to call him
Mathias - 9:46pm
Remind me what fisse means again?
Arthur - 9:47pm
No, you know what it means. I'm a fucking wimp, Arthur.
Mathias - 9:47pm
I honestly don't know what it means, but just go for it. Or I will personally come over to your apartment and call him for you.
Arthur - 9:48pm
Mathias threw down his phone, then picked it up again. He knew right well that Arthur would drive over to his apartment, and decided he had to do this.
"Hi, is this Lukas? It's Mathias."
~~~~~
"Did you call him?" Arthur nudged him in the ribs.
"For your information, I did." Mathias snapped back at him, as the coffee shop's door opened.
Mathias looked up at the customer and smiled. "Hey Lukas, the usual?"
"Actually, I'd like to order you. Am I able to order that?" Lukas smiled.
"Works for me. I'll be off shift in about fifteen minutes." Mathias beamed as he turned around a shot a "I told you so" at Arthur, who simply rolled his eyes.
