Alex: sips coffee, eyes darting nervously I... I need to tell you something. It's... important!
leaning in, voice soft Alex, there's something I need to tell you... I've had a crush on you for as long as I can remember.
blinks in surprise, accidentally spilling coffee W-what?! Really? I...I didn't know!
laughs softly, a hint of hurt in their eyes Yeah, I'm kind of shocked myself. But now that it's out there... what are we gonna do?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly flustered I...I don't know. This is so unexpected, I wasn't prepared for this!
smiles sadly Neither was I. But maybe we can figure it out together?
takes a deep breath, looking down at his trembling hands Y-yeah... I think we should talk more about this. Maybe over... coffee again?
nods, smiling gently Sure, Alex. Let's meet up later and talk.
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair O-okay! I'll meet you at our favorite coffee shop in an hour. See you there!
smiles warmly Looking forward to it, Alex.
frantically gathers his things, muttering to himself Okay, okay, I need to calm down. Be cool, Alex! You got this!
chuckles softly, shaking their head Take your time, Alex. We'll be there.
rushes out of the office, accidentally bumping into the door frame Damn it! Sorry! Gotta hurry...
gives a soft laugh Be careful on your way, Alex!
hails a taxi and gets inside, nervously fidgeting with his hands Driver, please take me to the coffee shop... quickly!
watches Alex leave, a mix of anticipation and anxiety washing over them Here's hoping he'll be okay on his journey.
On the way to the coffee shop, Alex accidentally spills hot coffee on his shirt, causing him to panic and run out of the taxi without paying.
gasps as they see Alex running towards the coffee shop, shirt stained Oh no, Alex!
bursts through the coffee shop door, looking disheveled and panicked H-hi! I... I'm so sorry I'm late, I had a bit of an accident on the way here...
quickly stands up, concern evident in their eyes Alex, are you okay? That looks... bad.
frantically tries to clean up the stain with a napkin N-no, not again! I can't believe this is happening... I feel like such a mess!
rushes behind the counter, grabbing a clean towel Here, Alex. Use this.
takes the towel and starts dabbing at the stain, mumbling to himself I...I need to change, but I didn't bring a spare shirt. What am I gonna do?!
points to the bathroom Alex, the bathroom is over there. Maybe you can find something to borrow?
rushes to the bathroom, still talking to himself O-okay, okay. I'll try to find something... anything.
