Espresso Cookie/Espresseleine Oneshots
TW/CW: There's a lot of child abuse mentioned in these oneshots, as well as mentions and descriptions / actions of self harm, some homophobia, racism, an eating disorder (ARFID), cussing, and suicidal thoughts. !!These oneshots are currently discontinued, I might write more in the future but they're done for now!! Anyway, these are oneshots with my AU I used in my other fanfic, Please Don't Tell My Parents, because silly goofy funny haha (idfk). You don't have to read that story to understand these oneshots since it's just a random au with Espresso having abusive parents 😭 (but if you want to go read it... that's cool too) The oneshots will mainly be angst with Espresso as a young child before he met Madeleine haha 👍 dw there will be some Espresseline stuff too. Everyone in this fic will be human!Complete

And i must say, this is one very cozy office, I could fit my whole apartment in here, right behind his desk was glass, showing off the beautiful scenery of new York City. "Woah," escaped my once sealed lips, "Like it?" He cunningly asked, prodding up to his desk then sitting down, "Hell yeah!" was my reply, "Then..." He pressed a button making the curtains cover up the view and flipping on the lights, "Have a seat!" He smiled again, my smile fell as I snapped with my teeth clenched,"I'm fine standing," "Mhh, your choice!" He hummed, nodding his head, "Coffee?" "No, I'm a tea person!" I lied.

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
