hey! how’s your day going?

It had been a few weeks since Sol and Joey had met, and after those first couple days they hadn’t seen each other quite as much, but Sol made a point to text frequently and stop by the shop whenever he could.
It had been long enough, and they had clicked well enough, that Sol had been debating asking Joey on an official date. Krystal had been teasing him relentlessly about it.

“You can charge into battle against hundreds of soldiers, but you can’t ask out a sweet little angel? Really, brother, you need to get it together”

Pretty good, you?
Joey was in the shop as usual, although he'd already organized the books and was dreadfully bored. He was considering popping out for a few minutes to go grab a coffee or something, but he didn't want to leave the shop unattended.
It's super dead at the shop today

Sol smiled at his phone screen.
i’m free right now, i could stop by. do you want anything?

Maybe some coffee, if it isn't too much trouble. Didn't sleep great last night
Joey yawned a bit as he waited for a response from Sol.

no trouble at all. what do you like?

Just a Mocha or something is fine. I like sweet stuff, usually
Joey looked up and set his phone down when a customer came in, although they didn't really need assistance.

got it!

Stopping by a coffee shop on his way, Sol ordered himself an iced coffee and a mocha with extra whipped cream for Joey.

coffee in hand, on my way! :)

Thanks, see you soon <3
Joey smiled softly and leaned against the desk to wait, perking up when he heard the door open.

“Hey, I come bearing coffee,” Sol greeted with a grin, coming over to lean on the counter. “Hope you like it.”

"Hey! Thanks a lot, I was considering going out myself, but I figured I shouldn't leave the store without anyone else here…" Joey accepted the coffee and started sipping at it contentedly. "How long can you stay?"

“For a while, I don’t have any plans until mid afternoon,” Sol replied, drinking his iced coffee. “Are you… are you free tonight?”

"Yeah, I should be." Joey smiled softly, looking up at Sol. "Why do you ask? I get off at six today, by the way."

“I was thinking we could hang out, maybe watch a movie, if you’d like,” Sol offered, looking more nervous than he usually did when he asked to make plans.

"Sure, if you want to! What movie?" Joey asked curiously, toying with the straw in his Mocha idly.

“Star Wars? Or any Disney movie. Or any movie you like,” Sol was rambling. He heard himself and yet. Get it together!

"Sure, I'm fine with anything." Joey smiled up at Sol, tapping one foot on the floor. "What are you so nervous about?"

“Great! Oh, nothing, estello, I’m fine,” Sol gave a lopsided smile. Solaris Forest, Fey lord, gang leader, warrior. Cannot even ask someone out properly. Stars.

"If you say so." Joey yawned a bit and ran his fingers through his hair, humming softly to himself. "How did you sleep last night?"

“Eh, not terribly,” Sol shrugged slightly, smiling at Joey. “Kind of restless, but I’m used to it. How about you? You seem tired.”

Joey nodded a bit. "Not great… I had a headache that woke me up pretty early, and I couldn't fall back asleep."

“Oh I’m sorry, sweetheart. Maybe we should postpone hanging out, you need to get a good nights ,” Sol said.

"No, I'm alright, really… I've got coffee now." Joey lifted up the cup a bit. "As long as I'm not there until midnight or something, I'll be alright."

Sol chuckled, raising his own cup. “I definitely won’t keep you that long, and I can supply more coffee if need be.”

Joey nodded, drinking more of his coffee. "Yeah, I'm sure I'll be perfectly fine. I've functioned on less sleep before anyway."
