SCP-2030-02 x Reader | Despresso

I wrote two. I couldn't chose. Between the two ideas. So I wrote shorts on them both. This one is much nicer and more dialogue heavy. Excuse my pathetic jokes.

A soft sigh escaped your lips as you stirred your coffee slowly, staring into the dark liquid. The small coffee shop was relatively quite and just how you liked it.

Until.

"Java number I can call you on?"

Your gaze lifted to meet with a pair of brilliant blue eyes. You came to the conclusion it was a joke but you didn't consider it very funny.

"Tough crowd?" he grinned, taking a seat beside you to your horror. He hadn't even asked if you wanted the company.

You didn't respond, just stared blankly at the man. You had to admit he was rather good looking. He had a well sculpted face with a friendly smile and was tall and skinny.

"How about this one then?" he tried.
"A man walked into a restaurant and took a seat. The hot waitress came to take his order and asked what he would like to drink. He replied that he wanted a coffee. The waitress came back and accidentally spilt coffee all over his lap. She apologised and started trying to clean it up. The man asked if it was regular or decaf. The waitress replied that it was regular. The man sighed before saying, 'Oh great, now this thing is going to be up all night!"

"Not that one either, huh?" he frowned, clearly trying to think of more coffee related jokes.

"What do you call sad coffee?"

You didn't reply.

"Humour me, please," he begged.

"What do you call sad coffee?" you sighed at last, glaring into your own cup.

"Despresso," he snapped his fingers into finger guns with an expectant grin. When you didn't laugh he sighed and leant his chin on his hand which rested on the table.

"Come on!" he exclaimed, "Everyone finds something funny!"

"Why are you even trying to make me laugh?" you questioned sceptically, not sure if he was just trying to cheer you up or get in your pants.

"You looked like you could use it," he sighed pulling a sugar cube from the pit and playing with it on the table.

You only stared with a raised eyebrow before finally speaking.

"I don't mean to be rude. But who are you?" you asked after taking a sip from your coffee.

"Me?" he perked up at your words with a smile, "I'm Laughy McLaugherson!"

You could only stare in disbelief for a few seconds before seeing that he was serious and breaking out into a fit of giggles. It was quite frankly the most ridiculous name you had ever heard.

He frowned for a while before smiling happily at your laughter, looking very accomplished.

"Knew I could do it," he stated matter of factly as your laughter calmed down.

"That's not seriously your name?" you said through gasps for air.

"It is," he nodded, "It makes people smile so I, personally, think it's a good name. It made you laugh didn't it?"

You could only nod, with a small grin, giving him your own name before taking another mouthful of coffee.

"What?" you could only question when you found him staring at you with bright eyes.

"You have a beautiful laugh."
