The song above and animatics is a huge inspiration for this. Also FRIGGIN LASLOW IS FRIGGIN BAE OMG!!!

Modern AU

You worked at a local coffee shop. I don't know I if youve heard of it but it's called Starbucks. You're spokesperson was in the news recently, I don't know if you've had heard about that. Okay that's enough referencing your favorite youtber you had a crush.

Oh no, no no no no yes. You had a crush on a frequent customer. Every time he'd come in with a different girl or alone. More often than not alone. But he never came in with the same girl twice. He was a desperate lover. 

Today he came in alone again. You were on your shift alone becuase Dwyer was taking a nap in the back. It was a slow evening anyway out could handle this. Besides Dwyer was a college freshman at Harvard. Friggin Harvard! You'd think he was legally blonde for going to Harvard's but his father just forced him to go. 

Back to the story. Your crush, Laslow, came up to the front counter with a five dollar bill in hand. You smiled at him, hiding the fact that your heart was tracking faster than the speed of sound with places to go. You gotta follow my rainbow! Okay no more sonic me references we need to stick to the story!

"Can I have a hibiscus tea, Trina, add lemonade and extra sugar."

He must have had a rough day. He was the only customer right now. You whipped up his tea after charging him. He just put his change in your tip jar. How sweet. It made yo u feel like sugar inside, which you were just stirring into the bitter tea.

You had the pink tea ready and he was sitting at the bar like he was about to take a shot. Was he rejected right before coming here? Poor thing. He took w large sip of his tea and he just zoned out into the bar.

Nobody else was here. You had an idea. You whipped yourself a favorite drink of yours which confused him. Five mi utes to closing time and now you were sitting by this stranger who stole your heart.

"Hey."

"Hey."

He didn't have his normal wide smile that you fell in love with. You looked down and took a small sip of your drink as you watched him okay with his fingers. He sighed,

"Is something up? I know I don't know you but you've been here long enough for me to know something's Wrong."

He looked into your eyes with his own melancholy ones. He let an awkward small smile and he looked down again. He, out of nowhere, leaned on your shoulders. You stiffened and looked at him. 

"My mother passed away."

You didn't know how to respond to that. You just looked down and let him rest on your shoulder. He inhaled deeply and sadly. He reached his straw too his lips amd took a lazy sip. Oh woah I rhymed!

"I'm so sorry."

"I am too."

You both just sat there. Dwyer came out saying it was time to go and you told him you'd close uo when you were ready. The stranger didn't leave for another hour, and you were okay with that. You made him free tea refills and you just stat there's with him and listened to him rant.

"She just died unexpectedly. She had a great life with me and Dad. She was a dance instructor for little kids and she loved her job. She was a shy little woman but she was in great shape and had great friends. There's was no reason for her to jump off that bridge, but she did. Now we don't know what to do...."

His mother, Olivia, killed her self that night. You offered for him to stay at your house until morning. It wasn't like he was drunk or anything so your verginity was safe. Trust.

You learned his name was laslow. And he stared living with you after his father got into a car accident on purpose. He had nobody now. Nobody but you. And you wouldn't let him die.

I hit you right in the feels, huh?
