i. heart-shaped latte

┌─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────┐

just imagine that Connie gets a part-time job at Starbucks , and Steven comes to see her . short but sweet ?

└─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────┘

"Here's your hot chocolate ma'am. Thank you for ordering." Connie said sweetly as she handed a cup of hot chocolate to another customer. So far she was liking this job, and she'd only been here a few days. The other staff was really welcoming to her. This was her first job too, so the first thing she'd done was tell her boyfriend all about it.

After taking another order and preparing the drink, she heard the bell chime which meant another customer had entered. Today might be a busy day after all, huh?

As she looked up from what she was doing she was met with a familiar face.

"Steven! I didn't expect to see you here." she smiled at her boyfriend.

"Well, I wanted to see you at work! Also, does you working here mean that I get free stuff?" he said jokingly.

Connie chuckled at this. "No, I don't think so actually. But...I'll let you have a discount on anything you want. Just don't tell my manager."

"Oh okay. Hm...in that case, I'll have..." he was observing the menu on display behind Connie, with all the orders written neatly in white chalk. "I'll just have a regular latte, but can you put a heart shape in it? It's for a...special someone."

A warm smile grew on the girl's face. "Oh, don't tell me you're replacing me already." she teased. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay, I'm not a professional at latte art, but I'll do my best." She gently took a white ceramic mug from the rack and began making the latte, as Steven watched with avid interest.

Eventually, more orders started coming in from other customers, so Connie had to multitask everything. In fact, she couldn't even see Steven anymore...there was almost a sea of people before her. He was just there a second ago!

It'd never been this busy for her before. And where was her other colleague to help her out? There was no way they were still "in the bathroom" after half an hour. She would have to manage on her own for now, no matter how hard it may be. Some customers also wanted lattes, but not with the loveable heart shape, and others wanted frappuccinos.

After she finished the first latte with her best attempt at a heart shape design, she knew she would have to call out his name as there were too many people. ( even if it was technically and indirectly her own drink )

"Latte for Steven Universe!"

"..."

"That's my girlfriend, everybody!" she heard his voice somewhere in the crowd getting closer and tried not to become a messy blushing fit in front of all the waiting customers.
