Josh grins as he holds up a paper reindeer, "I made a reindeer!"

Dallon furrows his eyebrows, "again, why? It hasn't even been Thanksgiving yet."

The employee frowns and looks down at his paper reindeer. Tyler, his loving boyfriend who has been sitting next to him the whole time, glares up at Dallon. Very silent and very deadly.

He swallows hard, "b-but it's a wonderful reindeer! W-We should hang it up on the bulletin-board!"

Josh perks up at that. He hands Dallon his paper reindeer and puffs his chest out proudly.

Tyler just smiles fondly.

Dallon: Again, how is someone sweet like Josh dating Satan himself?

"Lady, gentlemen, and Dallon! Gather around!"

All the employees gather around at the counter. It's another slow day and the boss of the coffee shop has decided something needs to change.

"So, I have an idea," says Pete.

"That's never good," Dallon mumbles.

Ryan pinches his arm to keep him quiet.

"Thanks to my people skills, I got a friend of mine from the local magazine to squeeze in an ad for the shop!" Pete says. His hands are thrown up in the air and excitement is very evident on his face.

Dallon breaks that rather quickly.

"Did you bl*w him?"

Ashley snorts and Josh giggles. Ryan just rolls his eyes, but smiles fondly at his coworker and acquaintance.

Pete, on the other hand, glares at Dallon, "I am a taken man Weekes. I don't do that anymore."

"Wait, what do you mea-?"

"Anyway, we need ideas on what the ad should feature!"

The customers sit around in deep thought. Different ideas for a good ad scramble in their heads. Josh's eyes widen and he grins with his idea.

"Unicorns!" He exclaims.

Ashley shakes her head, "nah, Dallon isn't high this time."

Said man glares, "f**k off."

She just smirks in return.

Ryan snaps his fingers and looks to Pete, "what about a picture of a couple enjoying the drinks? It's simple, and reaches out to majority of people. Plus, people love coffee dates. Giving them a new go to place."

Pete grins, "this is why you're my favorite, Ryan."

Everyone but Ryan gapes at their boss.

Ryan: I know. He's told me this too many times to count. I'm surprised no one else has caught on.

Josh: [pouts] I thought I was Pete's favorite.
