Joi: I see you👀
•
Slightly creeped out, Hana put down her phone and shot her head around, mentally preparing herself for attack from any angle.
Her eyes eventually landed on the smiley, silver haired boy as he entered the café, the bell above the door jingling to signal his arrival. Joi's idiotic grin seemed to instantly brighten the little room around him.
"Hana!" He waved as he walked over, engulfing the taller blond into a hug as he reached her. Hana chuckled and hugged him back, rubbing his back gently.
"I was walking past and I noticed you through the window, it's been too long, I missed you" Joi pouted, "Chen and Sam won't play mario kart with me, they're probably in Chen's room fucking or something."
Hana sighed at the younger boy's antics and couldn't help but laugh, it had become a joke between the five of them that Chen and Sam were fuck buddies because they rarely ever hung out with Hana, Joi and Mark anymore- always seeming to make up excuses at the same time. "Joi, i saw you like an hour ago what is wrong with you," she chuckled, "but I will wreck you at mario kart"
"Will not! I'm the mario king"
"Take that back"
"No"
"Joi , I will whoop your fucking as-"
"-uh-uhm miss? Your coffee is ready" their incredibly intense and important argument was interrupted by a shy, pumpkin haired barista. Daniel smiled awkwardly and slid the piping hot coffee cup across the counter to where Hana and Joi were waiting. Hana's face flushed yet again as he wondered how long Daniel must have been standing there, she just muttered a thank you and took the coffee, turning back to a seemingly awestruck Joi.
"Woah, how didn't I notice him earlier?" Joi leaned in to whisper to Hana, clearly eyeing up the cute barista. Hana had to admit he did have a very round butt for a guy-but she wasn't checking him out or anything! It was just very... prominent. She was a little jealous to be honest.
"well he is very short" Hana noted with a giggle, earning a slap on the shoulder from the smitten little asshole. She feigned hurt and held onto her shoulder in fake pain, "no one wants to date a bully" Hana pouted and Joi chuckled, rolling his eyes,
"I've got to get his number, holy shit."
Hana grimaced at that sentence alone, Joi had literally zero skills when it came to flirting. He honestly put Hana to shame. Yes, he was that bad. All she could do was watch in fear, and slight amusement, as Joi began to approach the counter.
Joi gnawed on his bottom lip, nervous as he approached the extremely hot orange haired boy; most times his attempts at "flirting" ended with a slap in the face or just a blank stare, so he prayed to any and every god out there that this one would end differently. He'd never forgive himself otherwise. It didn't even cross his mind that Daniel may not be into guys.
"Hi can I help you?" The boy in question asked with a bright smile, Joi swore he could see sparkles in his little crescent moon eyes.
"Yes um can I have a peach iced tea... and your number?" Joi leant one elbow on the counter and made sure to include a little wink at the end of his question.
Hana practically doubled over in second hand embarrassment, trying to hold back her laughter as she watched the events unfold. She noticed Joi's face pale as he realised what he had just done, a slightly panicked look spread across his face and he stood up straight again.
"Wh-wh?" A very flustered and taken aback Daniel asked, looking up from the notebook on the desk; his small face now various shades of tomato red as he almost dropped the pen that he was holding to jot down the order. Joi paused and tried to read his expression, he eventually gave up and explained,
"I just think you're really cute and I'd like to take you out some time?" He braced himself to hear the usual answer or to get slapped in the face.
"O-oh um yeah, I-I'd like that"
"Eh?" Joi and Jin both blurted out at the same time; though Joi immediately sent the dumbfounded Hana a death glare for not believing in his now very obvious skills.
"Wait, really? That actually worked?" Joi beamed, leaning forward on the desk again, and Daniel nodded timidly, quickly scribbling something down onto the paper before ripping it out, handing it to the eager boy with a nervous chuckle. Joi immediately slipped it into his pocket,
"Wow.. I'll definitely call you later! Oh um, I'm Joi by the way"
"Nice to meet you Joi, I'm Daniel"
