(You are both 16 in this story)

You couldn't sleep, you decided to go for a walk to the nearest diner for a coffee. You ended up at Griddy's Doughnuts and stood at the doorway before you walked in. You saw a Boy, around your age sitting at the counter waiting to be served as well with who seemed to be his father, they were both very silent and weren't talking at all. weird? The boy didn't look like your usual 16 year old boy, he was wearing some sort of uniform and his hair was slicked to the side. You sit down carelessly and put your head in your arms. The Waitress comes out from the kitchen and starts to take their orders. You pull your head up to face the waitress.

"Sorry, sink was clogged"

"So? What'll it be?"

The Man hesitates for a second.

"Uh, give me a chocolate eclair."

"Mhm, sure." "Can I get the kid a glass of milk or something?"

You look at the boy as he scoffs, offended by the woman, he doesn't seem to impressed about the whole 'kid' 'glass of milk' thing.

He snaps back.

"The 'kid' wants coffee, Black"

You look up at the waitresses face and chuckle to yourself at the shocked look on her face.

"Cute kid"

At this point she's getting uncomfortable while the boy smiles at her with a big, cheesy smile. You can't help but giggle. The waitress turns to the coffee machine and pours the boy a hot cup of black coffee.

The boy turns to the man.

"I don't remember this place being such a shit hole, I used to come here as a kid, used to sneak out with my brothers and sisters and eat doughnuts till we puked."

The waitress turns back with the man's Eclair and the boys black coffee.

You were very confused at this point, what was he talking about? "As a kid?" Wasn't this man his father? Why's he wearing uniform? You start to become curious about this 'Boy' sitting a seat across from you. The waitress comes to you and you also order a straight black coffee.

He over heard your order and turns to you.

"Great minds think alike" he says followed by a breathy laugh

"Indeed" you say nodding followed by a giggle

You placed your hands on your forehead and ran your fingers through your hair, letting out a breathy sigh. The boy hasn't looked away. Your coffee comes and you take it from the waitress. You placed it on the counter, accidentally spilling a few drops on the counter top. You tilt your head back and roll your eyes and aggressively grab a napkin from the tin. The boy looks away with a smirk. This boy was quite charming. His eyes were a light green, his hair was a slick black and his face was well shaped, and his jawline... was.. VERY attractive, his Adam's apple was perfect and so were his lips. You look at him with admiration as you sip at your coffee. He catches you staring and you quickly look away and you hear him chuckle. How weird? You don't even know this boy and you're already attracted to him. Maybe it's because you both like black coffee? Or it could just be because he's cute. He also seems quite mature for his age.

He turns back to you.

"What's your name?" He demands, looking over at you with a concerned expression
