"Black coffee, please." The woman behind the counter nodded, and scrawled down his name on the cup, Nico.

It was about 9 am in the morning, and strangely, the shop was not as crowded as he expected it to be. Most of the tables were empty, only some were occupied by students who were studying.

"Here you go, Sir." Nico took his coffee and walked toward his chosen seat. His phone pinged.

Hazel: Neeks! Ohmygods! Guess what!

Nico: ?

Hazel: I HAVE A DATEEEE! IT'S TODAY AT 6!

Before Nico could type a reply, he bodily slammed against someone. His cup flew out of his hands. Nico gasped.

The person in front of Nico stared longingly at his shirt, a white tee, now stained with coffee.

"I'm so sorry! Oh my gosh! Please, forgive me. I didn't mean to-" Holy.

Nico's words died at his lips when the man's eyes locked with his. They were startingly blue, like the afternoon sky, they were piercing, like icicles. They were...perfect.

"It's fine." The man answered, his cheeks slightly pink.

Nico wouldn't blame him. If someone had spilled coffee on him in public, he'd be flushed too. Of course, he'd probably murder the person, but here this man was, being so sincere and emphathetic about it.

"No, I'll pay for your dry-cleaning. Anything!"

The man paused, and smirked.

"Anything, you say?" The tone of his voice made Nico rethink his plea.

"Um." Nico eked out, blushing under the man's intense gaze.

His tee was soaked, and it clung to his stomach. Nico grew painfully aware that the thin material showed the man's toned stomach.

"Go on a date with me."

"What?!?!"

Will's P.O.V.

I'm pretty sure I just dug myself a fucking grave by asking him out. But he was cute. I couldn't resist.

"Are you serious?!"

I shrugged, trying to act nonchalant.

"You did say anything."

"Uhm...okay. I'm..uh, Nico."

I grinned. "Will."

I took out a pen and wrote my number on the coffee cup that lay battered on the floor.

"Call me." He blushed, and nodded.
