Newsies: Coffee, Sleep, and Ice

A/n: Sorry I haven't updated recently, my week was long and busy. This is a short Jackcrutchie modern AU. Enjoy!

Prompt: Hey bastard this store is already closed oh wait you're hot never mind please do come in

Crutchie hummed a tune as he wiped down the last table in the coffee shop. It was ten thirty and he was ready to sleep until next week. Luckily he didn't have any classes tomorrow so he wouldn't fall asleep in the middle of a lecture(It had happened before and it didn't end well). The day had been long and hard, the elevator in his dorm was out of order so he had to use the stairs and all his customers had been really rude. He put the last chair up and threw the rag he was using for cleaning tables in the sink. The little bell above the door dinged and he sighed "Excuse me we're clo-" He stopped talking when he saw who was at the door. It was the cute guy from his bio class. Jack. "Never mind"

"Are you still open?" He looked slightly embarrassed, Crutchie was clearly closing up the store but he had been walking outside and decided to finally talk to the cute boy he had a crush on and maybe get a cinnamon roll.

"Yes we are," He glanced around the coffee shop. "At least we are now" He whispered the last part. Crutchie was tired, but not too tired to talk to the cute guy and maybe get his number. He made his way back behind the counter "What would you like?"

Jack smiled "Can I please have a cinnamon roll and the cute baristas number?"

"One cinnamon roll and.." He trailed off when he actually processed what Jack said. He almost dropped his crutches in surprise and he could feel his face turned bright red "That might cost you extra"

Jack laughed and Crutchie decided he got even cuter, his face scrunched up and his eyes brightened "I'm okay with that, Crutchie right?"

Crutchie nodded "Yeah" He reaches for his name tag on reflex before realizing he wasn't actually wearing it. He would have to figure out what happened to it later "How did you know that?"

Jack blushed "Um, you're in my bio class. I heard someone say your name, and I, maybe, remembered it?"

"Oh," Crutchie was surprised he actually remembered, he didn't consider himself very memorable. He opened the pastry display but couldn't remember what he was supposed to be grabbing. "What did you want?"

Jack laughed "Just a cinnamon roll" Crutchie nodded and reached back into that pastry display. He wrapped up one of the leftover cinnamon rolls and handed it to Jack. "Thanks"

"Is that all?" Crutchie asked. He was still trying to figure out why Jack decided to go into a closed coffee shop and buy a cinnamon roll, but he had no idea. Usually he would assume the person was drunk. But Jack seemed completely sober and Crutchie had plenty of experience with drunk college students to compare him to.

"Yep"

"Why did you come in here" Crutchie asked. It might be rude, but he was curious and sleep deprived.

"Oh" Jack blushed "I maybe wanted to talk to you?"

"You realize I'm in your class. Why come into the closed coffee shop?" Crutchie wondered

"Spur of the moment?" Jack suggested "And you let me in"

"You're hot" Crutchie explained. He realized what he said and covered his mouth with his hand. That was not supposed to come out.

"Really?" Jack asked. He stepped closer to Crutchie and smirked "How hot?"

"Not answering that" Crutchie said rolling his eyes "Your ego doesn't need to be any bigger"
