Do you know anything about what Etho does when he isn’t getting coffee, or why he’s always so tired?

Uhm... Work?

[joeltallishbean]

Obsession perhaps?

Definitely not that either.

[joeltallishbean]

Sorry, infatuation, not crush

... I have neither of those.

[joeltallishbean]

Potentially, seeing as you both of you have crushes on other people

It's not a crush! Whatever Lizzie has for Cleo is a crush. I don't have crushes.

[joeltallishbean]

Have you ever talked with your wife about how the two of you would feel about the other dating other people?

Uhm... No, not really. It's not something we ever talk about.

... Is it something we should??

[joeltallishbean]

Oh, they do now?

Yeah, they do. Their smile is nice too.

[joeltallishbean]

You’re the only person he could even try to kiss. I mean. You’re the only one who has ever seen his face besides his parents.

They do have a very nice mouth.

[joeltallishbean]

Denial. If you’re so sure about it you should try it out, who knows, he may do it.

Do what? Try... Kissing them? No-no. I have a wife, you know.

Besides! I... Uhm. What if they didn't like that?

[joeltallishbean]

Cleo? Who Lizzie hates with all her heart

They're clearly flirting.

[joeltallishbean]

Ethos no home wrecker

Well, yeah. I'd hope not!

You know who should be though? Cleo.

[joeltallishbean]

Maybe they would if you weren’t behind the counter all the time. You never know.

I do know and I doubt they would because obviously we're just good friends!

[joeltallishbean]

I mean, maybe the reason he hasn’t is because etho knows better than to kiss a happily married man

A dastardly handsome happily married man!

... But, yeahhhh. I guess you're right.

[joeltallishbean]

A good friend that he wants to kiss

I doubt that. They would have done it already if they wanted to. You know how Etho is.

[joeltallishbean]

Ok well if you won’t admit how you feel about this, how do you think Etho feels about you?

They probably think I'm a good friend, yeah?

[joeltallishbean]

Joel saw Etho's glare, but he didn't seem to care. He looked past them at the line beginning to gather, a sigh escaping his lips. He gave Etho a softer smile.

"Three days since...?" he trailed off, shaking his head. He reached his hand out again to pat their shoulder. "I'm sorry, Etho. You know I love you, but... I kind of have a job to do."

-A certain masked man who looks incredibly tired walks into the shop. There’s not too many customers, so it only takes a few minutes for him to make his way to the front of the line.-

I uh..I want a quad. No sugars or anything extra.

-Etho

Joel looked up when he heard the familiar voice. He looked at Etho, feeling his chest warm at the sight of the masked person. Joel smiled, tilting his head to the side.

"Another late night?" he asked, calling over his shoulder as he set to make Etho's drink. "It's been a while since I've seen you." It hadn't been that long. A few days at most.
