“CECIL HELP ME I’M GONNA DIE.”

Hazel said, pacing around the room like an insane maniac. She was very nervous for her date with Rei that night. The other day, she had already gone shopping for a dress with Yvette, and now she needed Cecils.. emotional support I guess? Cecil would just stare at Hazel who was going around the room like a nervous-wreck.

“You look like you’re going insane.” Cecil exclaimed.

“BECAUSE I AM!” Hazel replied.

Rei had already reserved dinner at an expensive Japanese restaurant in town, so there was no going back now. Hazel looked at the time.

“Oh god, I have to get ready!” She said, her tone panicked.

Hazel then went to the bathroom and changed her outfit to the new dress she bought. After changing, she looked at herself in the mirror and said,

“You can do this, it’s just a.. Small date.. Small..”

Hazel would sob dramatically, before falling to the ground. Cecil went into the bathroom to check on Hazel, and would sigh as she stared at the girls maniacal state.

“Hazel, stop being dramatic.”

She said, scolding her. Hazel was definitely being a bit.. over-dramatic that day. This made Cecil go insane, as Hazel kept asking Cecil for help as she begged on her knees.

“How am I supposed to help—”

“I don’t know, give me emotional support or something?!”

She begged, in a somewhat crazed state. Hazel was clearly—very nervous. Cecil would mutter something under her breath, before helping Hazel to stand up.

“Alright, alright, Chill girl.” Cecil said.

“Listen to me, you are very capable of going on this date.. and.. uhm—”

“I’M GONNA DI—”

“AND YOU ARE NOT GONNA DIE.” Cecil interrupted.

Hazel would then take a deep breath in, before standing up straight. She mumbled some words of encouragement to herself, before declaring,

“Alright, I’m ready—I think..”

“Great, now go out there, be yourself, and have a good time.” Cecil exclaimed as she pushed Hazel outside of the dorm, before immediately closing the door.

Welp, this was it.. Hazel was damned to fail this date.. right? Well, only one way to find out—going on the date.

Hazel then walked towards the elevator of the campus to leave, and entered. While in the elevator, on the 3rd floor Rei came in.

“Hazel?”

“R-Rei! A-ah, coincidence that here we meet.. haha.. hah. .”

Hazel said, in an almost whisper-like voice. Her words had already twisted, and her grammar had gone poof. Welp..—this was it for her.. Better start digging her grave I guess..

[ I want to kill myself. Why am I so nervous around him now?. . . ]

Rei was somewhat nervous, but kept his cool and kept on a calm demeanor—despite being the opposite. The silence in the elevator was painful to say the least, and the two of them hated it. Rei then finally decided to break the silence, muttering a simple

“So.. Do you wanna walk to the place? It’s more convenient anyway.. right?..”

He asked, stuttering a bit, his voice slightly nervous. He was able to put on a calm demeanor, but he wasn’t the best at using his words.

Hazel's eyes would widen at this, I mean—It was a pretty logical thing since they were heading to the same place but.. It just made Hazel even more nervous. Being at a loss for words, Hazel simply nodded.

Rei nodded as well, being tongue tied and silent. The two then stepped out of the elevator after what felt like.. an eternity. Rei then lightly touched her hand as they walked side by side, Hazel not knowing what to do, simply let it happen.

Rei then took a bold move, and intertwined their hands. He would caress her hands, the movement of his hands gentle and soft.

Hazel would become flushed at the warmth of his hand touching her hand. She was taken aback by this bold move, yet simply stayed silent throughout their walk.

The two would never admit it, but they very much enjoyed the comfort and warmth of each other's hands.

Rei then remembered his conversation with River before the date:

“Hey riv, I’m goin’ out on that date I mentioned kay?”

“Yeah, yeah. Don’t be too bold, just crack jokes or something lmao.”

“Yeah, yeah. Not like I’d try anything too big..”

“With self-esteem like that, you’re practically lying to yourself.”

[ Flashback ends. ]

Rei would sigh, guess River was right about him being way too bold.. Whatever, not like it mattered anyway—It honestly made the experience a lot better and more comforting.

The cold air was perfect in contrast to their warm bodies. And the moonlight touching their skin made the scene ever so more romantic.

Maybe Hazel was overthinking.. maybe, just maybe—this would end up being the perfect night. The warmth of each other's bodies made it feel like just a sip of warm tea.

AUTHORS NOTE: Super rushed lmao but hope u enjoy :3

On a rainy night, Hazel was working a shift at the Café. Today, she shared her shift with Naoko and Dal. She felt more relaxed with the two of them there, especially since she knew at some point Rei would be coming there soon to see her. As she cleaned the counters, the bell rang as someone entered the café, it was Rei. Rei came in with a friend of his, River. Today Rei seemed particularly nervous. He was acting.. odd to say the very least. He wasn’t grinning like he normally would, so Hazel seemed confused. Rei would approach the counter with River, and quickly order.

“Hey err.. could I get 2 biscoff lattes? Andd . . uh, let me think.. Ooh, I’ll get 4 chocolate croissants.” He says. He seemed to be avoiding eye-contact, and there was some very noticeable awkward tension between the two.

Hazel nodded “Will that be all? Rei?” She said, emphasizing his name. She wanted to piss him off somehow, but didn’t know how.

“Y-Yeah, that will be all. I-I’ll pay later . . ” Rei said before quickly dragging himself and River away from the counter where Hazel was serving.

Hazel appeared confused at this. Ray wasn’t normally this weird, well.. he’s always weird but not weird like this. Naoko and Dal would approach grinning, they had seen everything that happened.

“Ooh~” The two said in unison. Dal smirked before adding “I can see the obvious chemistry between you two~” She said, which irritated Hazel.

Hazel would blush slightly, she felt an odd feeling in her stomach when Naoko and Dal teased her. She was confused on what this feeling was, it felt odd.. and new.. and it also felt.. good. Hazel didn’t understand what was going on in her head. She then thought to herself.

[ A-Am I falling for .. Rei?! ]

She said, her head spinning around in confusion. She would get flustered at these thoughts and absolutely go crazy. She just stayed silent as Naoko snickered to herself and Dal plotted for the worse. Dal and Naoko would then go to a corner and whisper to each other.

“Hey.. You think Hazel likes Rei?” Naoko said, smiling.

“Of course she does.. It’s obvious!” Dal said before grinning. “We should set them up and force them to have to talk to each other!”

“What? That’s too risky!” Naoko said. “It should be like a magical slow burn novel, where the two slowly begin to get closer..~” Naoko adds, clearly she has her own delusions as well.

“You know what, how about for now we just let them be.. Just to see how it plays out.. heh.” Dal says, before Naoko nods in agreement. “I’m gonna go talk to River, you know Reis friend over there.” Dal added.

“You know him?” Naoko questions curiosity about how Dal knows who he is. Dal chuckles before she answers “He’s Yvettes brother silly. Anyways, I’m gonna go talk to him.” Dal says before walking away.

Returning to Hazel, she had just finished preparing Reis meal. She then readied herself to bring him his meal. It was noticeable that River was probably at the toilet at the time. Hazel slowly approached the table cautiously. She was about to place the drink on the table, but her hand slipped and she spilled it everywhere on the floor.

“ I-I’m so sorry-” Hazel says before quickly grabbing some tissues and cleaning up the mess. Everyone in the restaurant had seen it happen, to Hazels embarrassment. Hazel would internally cuss at herself for embarrassing herself and spilling the coffee.

Reis' eyes widened at the sudden mess, but he quickly helped her out in cleaning the mess. Rei and Hazels fingers would accidentally collide, causing an awkward silence between the two, before they continued to clean the floor. After what had transpired, Hazel quickly remade the drink and gave it to him. “I’m so sorry for the delay, here’s your drink.” Hazel says. River then returns from the toilet while talking with Dal.

“Hey Rei,, what happened when I was gone?” He asked. Dal also looked confused, but grinned at the twos noticeably flustered faces.

“N-Nothing important!” Rei quickly replied.

Dal then told River that she wanted to tell him something, which was an obvious lie to Hazel. She knew Dal was doing this to set her and Rei up. River reluctantly agreed and the two went outside for a bit. Hazel was then about to walk away, but Rei called out her name.

“H-Hey! W-Wait, uhm.. Hazel.. If that’s your name uh..” He said, awkwardly pausing for a long time.

Hazel turned around and the two gazed at each other for a bit. Rei took a deep breath, and prepared himself to do something he's been wanting to do for a while. He gathered up his courage, and said it.

“Do you wanna .. uhm.. go out.. with me?..” He said, blushing like crazy. Even the arrogant and self-loving Rei could be awkward and nervous.

Hazel was taken aback by the sudden question. She wasn’t expecting for him to ask something like this, so she panicked. Not knowing how to answer, she first calmed herself down before finally replying.

“I’ll.. think about it.” She replied, before walking away.

Rei sighed, he felt like a rock that's been on his back has finally slid off. He sighed and took a sip of his latte. He was scared of refusal, it was something he was never particularly fond of. This feeling annoyed him, he hated it. He just wanted to leave and weep on his bed. He didn’t even know if she was gonna accept or not, he just thought she was gonna say no.

Back with Hazel, she was blushing like crazy. She sat down on the bench in the staff room, as she contemplated whether or not she should accept his invitation. On one side, she didn’t want to. He was annoying and irritated her. . On the other, she wanted to accept, and try out things with him. She was hesitant to make a decision. Naoko then suddenly came in, and noticed Hazel contemplating her decision. Naoko sat down beside her, and then asked.

“Something going on?” She asked, a bit concerned.

“Rei asked me out, and I’m trying to figure out whether I should accept or not. . .” Hazel replied.

Naoko smiled softly, and replied “Just go with what you really want, you know?” She says smiling.

“.. You know what, I’ll accept it.” She said, with slight reluctance.

Naoko gave her a thumbs up and encouraged her. Hazel then prepared for the worst, and stood up to tell Rei her answer.

She went to his table, and nudged him slightly. “I have made my decision.”

She then gave it some long thought, was she really going to go ahead with this? She contemplated her decision but eventually gave in to what she wanted to do.

“I’ll do it, I’ll go with you..” She says shyly, she then gives him a piece of paper with her number on it before quickly leaving. Rei was at a loss for words, he was shocked that she even accepted to go with him. Rei just smiled to himself staring at the paper.

Dal and Naoko watched from afar smiling, before slowly walking away. Hazel smiled and was thinking about all the great opportunities that could come from this. Why was she excited? The other day she was ranting about this guy who irritated her? It was clear her opinion on him was similar to A Cup of Coffee, bitter yet sweet.

Hazel was on her night shift as a barista, and was busy brewing coffees, lattes, and other things. She would yawn out of boredom, she could not wait for this shift to be over. She was working overtime since last week she came in an hour late because of traffic, which wasn’t a good reason to work overtime but it’s that or she gets fired. As she worked, she looked around to see the customers in the café, as always just the regular daily customers who would come to study and work on their assignments. Or the rare few who came to hangout with friends.

[  “This is so boring. I just wanna go home and sleep… oh shit, I still have that upcoming assignment..” ]

She would internally sigh. At this point, she felt like she could faint at any moment. College was hell and she hated it, the assignments, the projects, the lectures, the classes. Suddenly, while she was working she saw a familiar face. Rei, a regular at the café who would come in particularly often during her shifts. Rei then glanced at her, before approaching the counter Hazel was serving at. Hazel would internally cuss at the sight of him, she didn’t appear particularly pleased to see him at the moment. Despite the negative glares, Rei would continue to grin annoyingly. Hazel just sighed before preparing for the worst.

“Good day. I’ll have one ham sandwich and a biscoff latte, please.”

He said with an irritating smirk.. From the way he talked all the way to the way he smiled, she absolutely hated him. She cussed at him internally, but tried to appear calm. She didn’t want to be fired just because of this one guy she found annoying, despite that she really had a hard time keeping her cool, especially with the way he was looking at her. He had been acting really strange for the past few weeks, and at this point it felt like it was on-purpose. She really wanted Naoko or Dal to be there for that shift, but Dal was sick and Naoko did morning shifts.

“Alright, Name? And will that be all?” Hazel said, a hint of irritation in her voice. “Rei. And hmm…. No, I’ll also get..” Rei said before pausing for a while.

Hazel would sigh, knowing she would have to wait forever for him to make up his mind. She somehow knew that this was just his way to annoy her and get her attention. She just stood there for a while waiting for him to finally make a decision. He was taking forever and it was pissing her off, at this point she probably waited for a full 5 minutes for him to decide. During this time, she just stared at her phone and ranted on twitter about how annoying this man was. After waiting, Rei had finally made his decision.

“You know what, I’ll just have what I said earlier. I gave it some thought and I probably won't finish everything if I order anything else! “ He says with a smirk on his face.

“. . . That will be 12.99$” Hazel says, her voice with a great amount of irritation.

Rei grins as he gives her some cash, before going on, laughing to himself. It was a comical situation, something that Naoko and Dal would laugh at. Hazel sighs before beginning to prepare his pre-made order. Once she completed preparing it, she then gave him his order while sighing. She told herself to keep her cool, only 10 minutes until her night-time shift would end so she just kept reassuring herself that everything would be fine.

“Here's your order, enjoy.” She says, her voice tired and filled with annoyance.

“Great! I’ll be sure to come again soon.” Rei said to annoy her. He would then smirk, after having successfully annoyed her. He would then leave.

Hazel, relieved that her shift had finally ended, had already begun to prepare to head back to her dorm. While packing up her stuff, she chatted with Naoko and told her about the horrible shift that she had today. Naoko had replied laughing, finding the situation comedical. Hazel scoffed at this, knowing that Naoko would probably tell Dal about what she told her.

After her shift, Hazel would head to her dorms and see Cecil at her desk trying to finish an assignment. Cecil appeared to be absolutely dying, especially with the assignment deadline being tomorrow. Hazel would chuckle lightly at the sight of this, before suddenly remembering she also has another assignment that she needs to complete. She thought of the horrid shift she just had

“Working on your assignment huh?” Hazel said, before scoffing. “Procrastinating really makes you end up somewhere, huh?” She says, before sitting down next to Cecil. “I procrastinated way too hard. Now I have to design a weird ‘Optical illusion’ building. Really weird assignment.. But my Professor is weird so it makes sense I guess.” She says, chuckling a bit.

“Goodluck with that. I still have to finish my menu planning. . It may seem easy but I need to consider expenses, portions, time.. It’s a nightmare. As long as I get to graduate college, then I’ll finish it.” She says before standing up and laying down on the bed. “I had a horrible shift today..” Hazel said, about to rant.

“I know, Naoko talked about it in the groupchat and I saw it. That guy who annoys you a lot came during your shift today huh?” She laughs. Still doing her assignment, she still had energy to chat so that was good.

“Yeah.. He’s so annoying! I absolutely hate him. It’s like he’s purposely trying to irritate me… Well, he probably is..” Hazel says, sighing. She then goes to her desk and opens her laptop to begin working on her assignment. “This day has been absolute hell. I hate it.”

“You know how people say ‘If he bullies you then he just likes you!’ back in elementary right?” Cecil says, smirking. “Just an idea you know…”

“Do not suggest that.” Hazel says with a look of slight disgust. Cecil laughs at this, before continuing to work on her assignment. Hazel sighs and looks up at the ceiling thinking about things. Her and that stupid Rei guy? Was that even his name? She could hardly remember. Whoever this guy was, Hazel knew she just absolutely hated him.
