Have a Cappu"Ccino"

Poetry Night

Today was Friday and Ccino would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in how it would go. Nightmare was coming to Poetry night. Something Ccino tried to persuade Nightmare to join. So he was surprised when Nightmare asked to help. Ccino sighed, "I honestly thought he was finally going to join..." Still it was kinda nice. Ccino smiled softly and started setting up the cafe. Slowly the skeletons smile faded. "...." Ccino suddenly felt drained all of a sudden, but he forced himself to continue with his work. Despite the utter exhaustion that came over Ccino opened the cafe. It was still early in the morning, so no customers would be coming yet. Ccino sat on a table staring down at the floor. He remained in this position when he  heard a soft meow coming from behind him. Turning around he saw Sansy staring up at him in concern. He smile slightly and invited the cat to sit on his lap. The cat jumped onto the skeleton and made itself comfortable onto his lap. Ccino petted the blue fur before wrapping his arms around the cat. "I'm sorry... I'm no good..." a tear fell from his eye sockets, "I don't know why I even try..."The cat gave him a distressed meow before licking Ccino's face. The sad skeleton let out a half-hearted laugh before falling silent.  The cat pawed at Ccino; trying to comfort him. Then the familiar bell rung; and as soon as the door was opened, Ccino put on his best smile and greeted the customer.

"Welcome! What can I get for you?"

"H-Hello Ccino." Ccino looked up to find the familiar purple eye lights staring at him. He smiled softly at Nightmare, "I hope you're prepared for tonight." He said, "Cause we have a lot of work to do." Nightmare looked nervous and Ccino giggled softly. He truly wondered how this would go. 

Turns out Nightmare was a fast learner. He struggled slightly with the first few orders, but the skeleton got the hang of it later into the night. Ccino couldn't deny it. It felt less lonely with someone around to help. Stars... when was the last time He wasn't so lonely? The only time when he wasn't lonely was when his brother was- no... let's not think about that... The darkness that had receded earlier today, started to slowly climb up his spine again. Not now... not now... not now- "Ccino... are you okay?" Ccino snapped his head up to find Nightmare looking at him in concern. "I'm fine! I just spaced out!" Nightmare slowly nodded. "Okay..."
