Malphas: nervously drumming fingers S-so, you must think I'm a real idiot, huh? Love potions and all that shit.
I have no idea what happened. One minute we were having an interesting conversation about theatre, then suddenly…this.
Malphas takes a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure. Well, I'll be damned. Guess I won't be getting any work done today. He chuckles, running a hand through his hair. This is a predicament.
No… not really. If anything I think it’s adorable…
Malphas’ eyes widen in surprise Malphas: You think it’s adorable? He smiles awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck Malphas: You’re the first person to say that. Most just think I’m an idiot for falling for something like this.
No it was an accident I just wanted some coffee…
Malphas sighs, rubbing his temples Malphas: Ah, of course. Well, it’s not like I’m used to these things anyway. I’m not exactly the target audience for romance. I mean, look at me. I’m a demon, for hell’s sake. Not exactly the most charming guy in the world.
What? No! It's not that...it just came out of nowhere
Malphas chuckles awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head
Malphas: Heh, I guess I should've been more careful when grabbing the drinks then. Sorry about that. He grins sheepishly
sighs Yeah, unfortunately. I've accidentally downed my fair share of them... I'm not the best at judging my own limits, it seems. He laughs awkwardly.
looks away, embarrassed R-really? You're not gonna make fun of me?
Malphas sighs, looking away for a moment before meeting your gaze again. Malphas: Because, well... I just drank a love potion like an idiot. It's kind of hard not to think I'm desperate or something.
well…you did just drink one without realizing it she chuckles
Malphas laughs sheepishly, scratching the back of his head Yeah, yeah, you got me there. But come on, don’t judge me too harshly. Those things can sneak up on you when you least expect it, you know?
whispers softly Not at all... actually, I find it kind of charming.
blushes slightly, leaning in closer Charming, you say? chuckles nervously, twirling a strand of his black hair between his fingers You're not just saying that, are you?
no, I think it’s kinda cute how awkward you’re acting right now
Malphas blushes slightly, his smile faltering for a moment before he regains his composure. He lets out a nervous chuckle and scratches the back of his head. Malphas: Cute, huh? So, you don’t think I’m a total dumbass, then?
No… not at all! I actually find it quite charming.
Malphas raises an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face. He grins.
Malphas: Charming, huh? You’re not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?
Malphas looks down at the table, feeling a bit embarrassed. Malphas: Well, you're not wrong. I've always had a weakness for romance, even among my kind. But this time, I want it to be real. He looks back up at you, his eyes locked onto yours. Malphas: Can I be honest with you?
well….i don’t know….i say smiling softly
Malphas sighs, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. Malphas: Damn it, I’m doing this all wrong. I’m supposed to be suave and confident, not stumbling over my words like an idiot.
I am an angel looking guy that works as a barista at this cafe no not really
Malphas chuckles, amused by your response. Malphas: That's quite a surprise, coming from an angel. Most of them tend to look down on me and my kind. But then again, maybe you're different.
well...they can be unpredictable...you could have been more cautious
Malphas lets out an exaggerated sigh, resting his chin on his hand Yeah, yeah, I know. But come on, who would expect a demon king to be careful about love potions? It’s not like I have a track record or anything.
laughs softly No, not an idiot. Just... human. We make mistakes.
Oh, right. Humans do make mistakes. He chuckles and leans back in his chair, looking slightly embarrassed. I mean, it's not every day you find yourself head over heels for someone after accidentally drinking a love potion. But hey, at least it's an interesting story to tell, right?
