Food For The Soul

Listen with me! ↠ⁿᵉˣᵗ ˢᵒⁿᵍ ↺ ʳᵉᵖᵉᵃᵗ ⊜ ᵖᵃᵘˢᵉ

Warnings: Tcest (you have been warned!), Tcest x Character, The Bale AU, Fluffy Goodness, Polyamory.

Tcestween Prompt: Food

Pairings: Mikey x The Bale

If there was anything that Mikey enjoyed more than eating food it was making food, especially for his loved ones. It was a sort of love language for him. He adored making foods for people that held special places in his heart, keeping them well fed with good, home-cooked food that he made. Scratched the turtle instincts just right.

And that's exactly what he was doing right now. Waking up early and cooking food for his bale. Mikey didn't used to be such an early riser but as years got on he found himself enjoying the quiet of the mornings more and more, his only company being the sizzling of whatever food he was cooking and the soft lofi beats that gently played through his bluetooth speaker.

This morning he was making scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, fresh fruit salad, and fresh morning batches of tea and coffee. The spatula scraped against the pan as he made the large batch of scrambled eggs, throwing in different kinds of cheeses and spices. The bacon sizzled until it was perfect and crispy before he gently dished it up on the paper towel clad plate. Regular and chocolate chip pancakes were made and set on a platter. The sound of his cutting knife on the board as he made the fruit salad filled the air next as he tossed watermelon, strawberries, kiwi, banana, and blackberries together.

Everybody would be waking up soon, time to make beverages. Raph liked green tea with honey, Donnie would want his expensive coffee with french vanilla creamer and whipped cream, Leo would want his caramel latte with double espresso, Casey simply enjoyed cheap black coffee, and April would take a shot of espresso and a glass of orange juice.

Speaking of April... He could hear her pad in with Raph as he made his own oolong tea. "Morning, my loves." Mikey said cheerily and he was rewarded with a soft good morning from April and a kiss from Raph. Mikey handed them their drinks, Raph sipping his tea with an approving hum before he loaded his plate with pancakes and bacon.

Mikey giggled as April downed her espresso shot with a scrunch of her nose before chasing it down with a gulp of orange juice before snagging some scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit. "Thanks so much, baby." She said sleepily, kissing his cheek.

Shuffling could be heard before Leo and Casey were seen, talking softly to each other as they got food and their drinks. "This looks so good." Casey said, digging into his food. "Smells just as good." Leo mumbled, popping some bacon and fruit in his mouth.

"Where's Donnie?" Mikey questioned and Leo looked up and blinked. "Asleep in his lab, I think. He was up pretty late." Leo said and Mikey sighed, making his way up to Donnie's lab to drag the purple banded terrapin down for breakfast.

"Donnie?" Mikey called out, walking into the lab until he found his mate. He could help but chuckle softly as he found his older brother hunched over and asleep on his lap table. Gentle fingers reached up to pry his battle shell off, tracing his sensitive shell and messaging it gently, causing him to stir.

"Morning, dearest." Donnie groaned out and Mikey bent to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Morning, babes. I made breakfast. Lets get some food and coffee in you." He said softly. Donnie groaned softly and stretched before standing up, allowing Mikey to drag him to the kitchen.

"He lives!" Leo said as Donnie sat at the table, earning a snap from Donnie before he nuzzled into his twin, earning him a kiss. Mikey piled up Donnie's plate before handing his food and coffee to him. "Here you go, baby." Mikey said softly before getting up to get his own food and drink.

As the bale sat around the table, waking up and murmuring softly to each other, Mikey couldn't help but feel his heart warm. Everybody ate and drank, scrapping their plates clean and slurping down the last of their drinks, thanking Mikey before loading their dishes in the dishwasher.

As they walked away with bellies full of good food, Mikey couldn't help but sigh lovingly. What a good morning it was today...

Mikey is such a little chef so I found it only fitting that I would center this prompt around Mikey. Ik it's kind of bad but I still think it's uber cute.

A daily review with a twinkle of optimism and softness is exactly what I need right now. As occurs often, I had a beautiful day and yet my brows are still furrowed in disapproval of myself, which I disallow. In fact, as soon as I began typing, my facial muscles relaxed and so I deduce that I am exactly where I need to be.

Last night, I cooked a Mexican feast for two friends and I think that it went tremendously. I feel quite humbled to spend time with these two people because they’re so funny, kind, and intelligent so I was particularly pleased to see that they were impressed by the dinner I made for them. I got some ginger ale and filled the glasses with fresh mint and lime wedges; I made a two bean chilli, my classic red onion and mint salsa, some rice and tortillas and salad, guacamole, and avocado (of course). There was just enough to feed me today as well and my friends seemed satisfied. In fact, one friend praised the evening to another friend this afternoon... so yes, I’m blushing.

This morning’s breakfast was perfect in every domain but one: I don’t have any avocado left to make it again tomorrow. This morning I did a yoga flow with Allie Van Fossen which was powerful enough to satisfy my morning restlessness; I had my wake-up treat of a double espresso with some warmed soya milk; I showered and put on a sleek dark-academic outfit (complete with heeled boots, light face-powder, and some perfume which I perceive to be a ‘clean’ scent). I felt good, and my booty was looking pretty good when I left the shower, too.

From 9am until noon, I was in the library and I was impressed with my productivity. I found a space which had the perfect temperature and level of noise and completed the Functional Analysis homework and a problems sheet.

After that, I returned home and chatted with my housemate Bethan in the kitchen, She really does light up my days and she was making a satisfying breakfast while I assembled some leftover [fajitas] from last night. Good for her.

In the early afternoon, I got my exam notesheet done for Number Theory, despite the beautiful sunshine tempting me outside, I finished just in time to meet with my friend and his friend to go for a walk and grab a matcha coconut latte. I’d like to be a matcha-drinking individual but the first matcha I ever tasted was incredibly bitter and this one just tasted of sweet coconut with a complementary bitter undertone so I don’t know what to believe.

I talked with my friend a lot during our walk and I just hope that he and his friend were entertained by my conversation. I hope that they felt they were listened to and treated with kindness and encouragement. I loved the walk we had and I feel slightly selfish for having taken their afternoons but it made me very happy. This is the root of my self-criticism this evening, I believe.

Getting home, I made a simple yet tasty meal of leftover rice with basa and veggies. The peas and sweetcorn makes me think this dish is quite childish but there’s nothing childish about ensuring your 5 a day and preventing foodwaste.

This evening, I wrote up half of my functional analysis homework and hope to do the rest first thing tomorrow. I concluded this task with a phd salted caramel protein shake (which would have been better if I’d had blended a banana into it as well) and one of Yoga with Kassandra’s evening sequences. Now, I will treat myself to a biopic before bed :) I look forward to good weather tomorrow and to seeing my parents.

Serendipity, Chapter 7: Coffee

The next morning Zarc woke up to the sound of his phone text notifications going off. He groggily checked the texts, then smiled when he read them. It was Yuri in the group chat, reminding Yuto about the coffee promise and making his request. It seemed the cabbage-head had a serious sweet tooth, as he requested a coconut frappuccino with extra cream and sugar, seven shots of vanilla syrup, seven shots of chocolate syrup, topped with whipped cream and drizzled with caramel.

Yuto: Lol, tooth-rotting cavity-inducing sweetness, got it! Anyone else want some coffee? My treat!

Yugo: Ooh! Me! Me! Can I have an iced caramel frappuccino with banana whipped cream?

Yuto: Sure thing, Yugo! What about you guys, Yuya, Zarc?

Yuya: I’d like something as dark and bitter as my soul :3

Zarc: Based on the texts between you and Kairi, I’m guessing that means a vanilla bean latte with extra cream and sugar?

Yuya: How did you know? I’ve never told Kairi about my coffee preferences! :O

Zarc: No, but judging by your texts, your soul is as pure as snow and sweeter than candy

Yuya: Oh

Yuto: Yeah, we only met you yesterday, and I can already tell you’re very sweet and innocent, so a very sweet coffee with lots of cream was the first thing I thought of when you said that lol

Yuto: What about you, Zarc? What kind of coffee would you like?

Zarc: Oh, well, how about an espresso with a bit of brown sugar and oat milk?

Yuto: You got it! I’ll have it delivered to your business in about an hour, since I don’t have time to bring it to you myself before my classes start. I can bring the rest of you guys your coffees myself, unless you want to stop by the coffee shop to pick them up.

Yuri: I have time, I can stop by

Yugo: My classes start at noon, so I can come to the coffee shop too.

Yuya: My classes start in about fifteen minutes, so I can’t make it to the shop and still make it to the theater in time

Yuto: Alright, I’ll stop by the theater and bring you your coffee, Yuya

Yuya: Thanks! You’re the best! :D

Cal: 350 | Protein: 24.6g

Thoughts: tried some fruits for this breakfast. also this is the second time i have posted this day's calorie intake. for some reason it didn't post so now i don't know what my thoughts were.

Snack (7:20AM)

Medium chai latte with soy milk

Cal: 130 | Protein: 10g

Thoughts: I can't remember what i thought at this meal time.

Snack (4:20PM)

2 jatz crackers

Cal: 38 | Protein: 0.6g

Thoughts: I got quite hungry at this point and due to the fact that my colleagues leave so much food behind, I decided that I'd have a little snack. I really did feel a little bit lightheaded. So I knew my lunch needed to be better tomorrow.

Dinner (6:30PM)

My gosh, this soup was amazing it had veggie frozen mix (195g), some soy sauce (9ml), and a packet of spring vegetable cup-a-soup.

august 4, 2024

it's my nephew's birthday!

we went to wildflour to celebrate. i wasn't able to take pictures of everything but we ordered A LOT. my personal favorites would be the squid ink pasta, kimchi fried rice, steak fried rice, matcha raspberry bundt cake (less the raspberry fruit, it tasted horrible), and banana coffee caramel smoothie. then we went to festival mall after to burn the food we ate. i also got iced burnt vanilla latte from dot coffee for clout—just kidding! i can't seem to go about my day without coffee and also, drinking coffee after a meal makes me forget the feeling of being too full from eating too much.

From Cursed to Heart Burst

reaction to a personal narrative

Bea Cassandra De Leon is a friend who always gives her heart when it comes to helping others, being brave in a circumstance, or battling with her everyday life. However, what a friend could’ve imagined is that she thinks that the day where she began to see the world, was also the day she hated the most back then. Despite that, when her 13th birthday came, all of that “cursed thinking” washed up all at once. On the 30th of November 2018, she was surprised by her family that they were going to visit a very special place, the Sky Ranch. With that news, her heart skipped, and got excited to her family’s surprise.

To sum it up, they had fun. And Bea’s heart was so full that it could burst with happiness. They rode a roller coaster, ate in a fine restaurant, her father surprised her with a big banana stuffed toy that he won, and they created a lot of memories in their joyride, way back home.

Bea’s personal narrative feels like a home. A home where you can spend your not-so-good days or the happiest days on earth. Every word feels like an embracing arms because she used chronological order to arrange her story properly. She also putted a lot of literary elements that combined with her story like chameleon blending onto its environment. It complimented her narrative. She also included transitional devices to better execute the message of the story that she is trying to pass to her readers.

Her grammatical strategy was not just to impress other people or her readers but to make them feel like they are inside her story, watching her celebrate her happiest birthday with her lovely family. It was a balance of dark, sweet, and a little funny, like a caramel latte that just hits the spot when you wanted to reward yourself with something.

In conclusion, her narrative gave a glimpse of her life like a spark of fire trying to build a flame. She introduced herself in not just a creative way, but fun like how they one day adventure for her brithday lasted. Simple, yet memorable. A day she thought, was a curse, was also the day where her heart burst with so much happiness.

Boudica Café Bar Offers Local and British Comfort Food All Day Long

There’s a new restaurant in Ortigas that serves as a lovely café by day and turns into an energetic restobar by night. Aside from its local and British comfort food plus delightful beverages, I also heard that it offers my favorite authentic Fish and Chips from CargoFish! Those magic words were enough for me to head over to Ortigas to pay this new charming venue a visit.

Boudica Café Bar is located inside the City Golf Plaza along Julia Vargas Avenue in Ortigas, Pasig. This new restaurant is from the same owners of CargoFish which I believe sells the most authentic Fish and Chips in Metro Manila. That’s why when The Hungry Kat was invited last week for lunch at Boudica, I was more than excited to bring out my British accent once again and enjoy all the wonderful dishes they had prepared for us.

Boudica Café Bar is not just your typical restobar because you can enjoy coming here in the daytime and all the way until late evening. The spacious dining hall in divided into distinct areas, each with its own charming personality. This area near the entrance comes with plush sofas where you can relax with a drink and some afternoon snacks.

On the other hand, the fireplace setup further inside the main dining hall has a more energetic vibe to it. This is better suited for big lunch or dinner groups who plan on ordering a lot of food.

Just beside it is the main bar which you can choose for those happy hour drinks and get togethers with friends. It also gives you a closer look at the baristas and how they prepare all the lovely beverages.

Then there’s the semi al fresco area right outside overlooking the busy Julia Vargas Avenue. The murals and colorful designs all around the restaurant really make it so Instagrammable.

I started lunch by ordering their Boudica Smoothie (P385). This healthy and refreshing beverage has no sugar added and comes with greek yogurt, strawberry blend, banana, avocado, mango, cucumber, and melon.

Try some of their Coffee Creations such as the Almond Butterscoth Latte (P100), Vanilla Hazelnut Latte, Ice Blended Cappuccino, Butterscoth Cheesecake Latte, or the Affogato Al Cafe. They also have plenty of other juices, milkshakes, and sodas on the menu.

Aside from their Classic Cocktails, they also offer Signature Craft Cocktails like Kiss Me (P365), a drink that definitely lives up to its unique name. This has a combination of Johnny Walker Black whiskey, cointreau, angostura bitters, raspberry, passion fruit and schnapps.

If you are dining with a large group, go order The Boudica (P1950). This humongous appetizer platter offers a wide variety of meats and cheese, It comes with four kinds of cheese, four selections of charcuterie, chicken liver pate, pickled grapes, olives, mixed nuts, gherkins, breads, with garlic butter, onion jam, and spiced honey.

Salad lovers also have plenty of options like the Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad (P460) which comes with bacon, chicken, mixed greens, blue cheese, parmesan blue cheese dressing, croutons, and caramelized walnuts. There’s also the House Salad (P315) with mixed greens, cucumber, carrots, cherry tomatoes, parmigiano-reggiano, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

My favorite here is definitely the Classic Fish and Chips by CargoFish. This very crispy fish is served with your choice of proper British-style chips or sweet potato chips, plus tartar sauce, mushy peas, and chip shop curry. I remember always eating Fish and Chips during my summer school stay in London, and this is exactly how they serve it there. It’s also rare to find authentic mushy peas here in Manila so I’m happy that they offer it at Boudica.

The Fish and Chips comes with your choice of beer-battered fish, whether you want it to be prepared with Dory (P325), Cod (P665), or Salmon (P720). I always prefer the cod fish because I think it’s the best fish for deep frying, but I also got to try the salmon this time which has its own unique flavor. There’s also an option to have Chicken and Chips (P335) so maybe I will try that out next time.

For pasta lovers, there’s the Italian Carbonara (P445) with spaghetti, smoked bacon, egg yolk, parmigiano-reggiano, breads. On the other hand, the Tartufo (P485) comes with tagliatelle, truffle cream, button mushroom, prosciutto breads.

There’s also authentic Neapolitan pizzas like the Truffle El Funghi (P720) with porcini, fresh button mushroom, truffle cream, and parmigiano-reggiano. Other pizza flavors to choose from include Margherita, Smoked Bacon, Italian Sausage, Prosciutto and Burratina, and more.

It’s not just international dishes on display at Boudica Café because they also feature local comfort food favorites. One of them is the Pork and Chicken Isaw (P335) from Burnt Bamboo, their sister restaurant offering grilled barbecue specialties. This order comes with six big sticks of chicken isaw and pork isaw in their signature glaze and served spectacularly over smoking ashes. It also comes with in-house vinegar for a real street side experience. There’s also an option to get Chicken Isaw (P305) only or Pork Isaw (P365) only.

The Paella Negra (P580) is another classic dish on the menu. This has a combination of arborio rice, shrimps, mussels, squid rings, and roasted garlic. Best to share this with the entire table.

I really love the brunch options at Boudica Café Bar. These are the best to have on a lazy weekend or after waking up from a very late and busy evening. The Smoked Bacon Slab (P485) is a pretty plate that comes with two slabs of smoked bacon, garlic rice, atchara, and two eggs cooked your way.

Better yet, get the Full English (P585) which is a typical British breakfast with everything on it. This supersized breakfast platter has English banger, bacon, proper chips, grilled tomato, fresh button mushroom, baked beans, fried bread, and two eggs cooked your way. You can also have it with Black Pudding (+P100), a type of blood sausage popular in the United Kingdom.

We would like to thank Boudica owners Chef Matthew Hornsby-Bates and Chef Matthew Lim for hosting our group and showing us all their specialties. Boudica Café Bar is a great hangout spot in the city, whether you’re looking for a cozy lunch break or planning a boozy night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back here really soon for more of their spectacular fish and chips.

[mihotose]

they were recommended akagami no shirayukihime in a letter and neither had heard of it before so maybe theyll watch it together

kaho had recommended kimetsu no yaiba to megumi and now shes halfway through it ("jougen no kozu")

kaho has seen bocchi the rock but megumi hasnt

megumi: kozue's weak and sleeping right now, so this is a chance! kaho: no! megumi-senpai, no!! kozue-senpai is resting right now!!

megumi: ah, megu-chan-senpai is a cute thing to call me!

what megumi finds cute about kaho is that shes small but her movements are big. she feels she could find her anywhere

what kaho finds cute about megumi is how she smiles when shes drawing pictures for everyone. but its not like theres a specific part of her that's cute! (megumi: its all of me. my existence)

kaho's favourite fruit are apples and megumi's been into kiwis lately since her mom sent her some

if they were going into space megumi would take microphones since theyd definitely need those if they were doing a live in space. and galaxy inspired outfits! (kaho reading comments) and they'd need oxygen too, smart! kaho wants to bring kozue-senpai too!

they get a letter asking what their favourite gelato flavour is and it turns out they dont know what the difference between ice cream and gelato is. why did they start talking about sorbet and sherbet

megumi's favourite baskin robbins flavour is orange sorbet and kaho's is caramel ribbon. kaho likes banana and strawberry too

(finding out gelato is italian) megumi: ah! bonjour! kaho: i think that french? megumi: ive been tricked!!! well, at least i can introduce myself in france now

a letter asks kaho to recommend megumi some books and kaho is worried since megumi isnt good at reading but she says she'll do it if kaho recommends it. as kozue says she's not bad at it she's "in the process of getting good"

kaho asks if she likes picture books and she does. she liked guri to gura and bus-kun

kaho recommends her bamu to kero and tells her about a picture book she liked called ohisama pan

kaho recommended sayaka a mystery book called aru tozasareta yuki no sansou de the other day

after practice today they went to starbucks and got matching matcha tea lattes (and were drinking them all throughout this with×meets)

theyve been wanting to go shopping but havent yet. kaho wants megumi to help pick out some clothes for her and megumi says shes found a place perfect for kaho ("dress up doll kaho")

megumi asks if kozue will be jealous and kaho says kozue-senpai was the first person to make matching clothes for her!!! and she wants them to match regular clothes too. megumi says she does want to see kaho wearing kozue's style and kaho says she wants to see kozue wear cute clothes

megumi suggests a clothes swap and kaho tells kozue when she's better they can do it!

if they had to swap places with someone else in the club megumi would pick tsuzuri so she can have naps and eat sayaka's food and be tall. but she's worried what tsuzuri would do as megumi but kaho says she'll probably be fine

kaho wants to be kozue because she has a beautiful way of moving her body and when they do stretches together she's super flexible so she wants to experience that for herself. maybe when she dances as kozue she'll have her abilities too

megumi is a takenoko no sato enjoyer while kaho is a kinoko no yama enjoyer. they try to propagandise for their favourite but end up agreeing theyre both good

they give chocolate to their friends for valentine's every year. this year kaho will probably give them to ena and her other classmates

this hour long stream was pretty tiring but its nothing compared to the eight hour one they did earlier! megumi learned the term "runner's high" recently so this is like a "streamer's high"

kaho likes macross frontier. she likes ranka and says kozue is like sheryl

megumi likes violet evergarden

megumi likes mei mei from jujutsu kaisen

chat brings up oshi no ko and megumi says kaho is her oshi no ko. kaho calls megumi her oshi no ko (after kozue)

Have you really lived on the edge until you've worked as a cashier at a Panera that ran out of most of their bread, all their bagels, noodle bowls, and lettuce?

Worth It

Summary: You were sure you'd never work up the courage to talk to the cute girl at the coffeeshop. But could a misunderstanding be the start of something new?

Pairing: Wanda x reader

Genre: Fluff

Words: 2.8k

Warnings: none, this is just the fluffiest of fluff

AN: A cute little idea that I had floating around the old brain that I finally managed to get into words. Hope you all enjoy it.

You tugged the edges of your beanie to fight the chill of the air around you as you walked along the familiar path to your favourite coffee shop. Winter was just around the corner and the days were already starting to get shorter, the bitter cold bringing the night with it earlier than you would have liked.

You spy your reprieve from the cold up ahead, the small family owned business that had become such a regular part of your day. The bell jingles above the door to signal your arrival, the noise catching the attention of the barista at the counter and she welcomes you with a kind smile.

“I think I should start setting my watch by your arrival, always so punctual,” she jokes and you just roll your eyes as you slip your coat from your shoulders.

“I’m not that predictable, am I?” you reply as you approach the counter, already feeling the warmth of the shop spread throughout your body.

You inhale; the smell of coffee and freshly baked pastries chasing away the stress of your day as you fish around your bag for your card.

“Hmmm, let’s see. Large caramel latte made with skim milk and a slice of banana bread toasted. Then in about an hour, you’ll want another latte brought over to your table by the back corner because you get distracted if you sit near the window.” She laughs at your shocked expression, her red hair bouncing around her face with her chuckles.

“Okay, okay,” you concede, “maybe I am predictable. But I just know how I like things.”

You crack a smile as you swipe your card to pay for your items, before stashing your wallet back into your bag.

“I’ll bring it over to your table when it’s ready,” you hear as you zip up your bag and you look back at the green eyes behind the counter before replying.

“Thanks, Nat,” she waves in acknowledgment as another customer steps up to the counter and you make your way over to the table in the corner, as predicted.

You rolled your eyes at yourself and how predictable you were but you couldn't help it. You liked your routine. You would come to this coffee shop every afternoon once classes had finished, preferring it to the louder and more densely packed franchise down the street.

You found the coffee tasted better here and you enjoyed the personal service. It was tucked away between a bookstore and a Thai restaurant, its unassuming store frontage had most people overlooking it.

You didn’t mind though. It meant you always got to sit where you liked and you could work on your school work without being interrupted. You had even started to make friends with the staff, the casual banter between Natasha and yourself was slowly transforming into a friendship.

She was a sophomore like yourself and while you didn’t share any classes, you knew that she understood the demands of college which meant she left you alone for the most part as you studied.

You sat down at the table, pulling your laptop from your bag as you slipped your headphones into your ears. The buds nestled securely under your beanie as you connected them to your phone via bluetooth, music filling your ears as you settled into your seat.

Your drink and food are brought over while you work, looking through your notes from your lecture earlier that day and starting on your next essay. You have about a hundred tabs open and a solid outline written before you look up, almost as if you could sense it.

You see the door open, a few leaves blowing into the store as someone walks in.

Except it wasn’t just someone. It was her.

The girl who had begun to haunt your dreams and slip casually into your waking thoughts.

Her auburn hair is scattered around her face from the wind as she closes the door, hiding her face from your view. Although you had already memorised every inch of it.

She approaches the counter and you admire her from afar, the bright smile on her lips, the flush of her cheeks from the wind outside, the way her eyes sparkle, even from across the shop. She was simply the most beautiful person you had ever seen and you knew there was no way you would ever have a chance with someone as gorgeous as her.

She came in most days, about an hour after your usual time. She always sat at the same table across from you and it took everything in you not to stare at her the entire time. She had caught you looking a few times but you always looked away quickly, pretending to focus on your work as your cheeks flamed in embarrassment.

After she ordered, the girl made her way to her usual table. She removes her own beanie and shakes her hair out and you’re hit with the scent of peaches. You try not to inhale too obviously, the sweet scent intoxicating even from a distance.

She grabs her things from her bag, glancing your way quickly and offering you a soft smile. You return it before looking back at your own laptop, not wanting to scare her off by drooling over her.

You see Natasha approach out of the corner of your eye, dropping off the mystery girl's drink before placing your second coffee down in front of you. You smile up in thanks at her, your music still thrumming in your ears.

She makes an encouraging gesture with her hands, pointing in the direction of the girl behind her. Natasha knew about your crush on her and often encouraged you to go talk to her but you were too much of a chicken to even attempt it.

You make a shooing motion with your hands, trying to get rid of your almost friend before your mystery girl notices the silent conversation happening between the two of you. Natasha throws her hands up in defeat before leaving, throwing a wink at you over her shoulder as she walks off.

You glare at her back before chancing a glance at the girl, hoping to find her nose buried in her textbook. To your utter horror, she was looking right at you, a confused look on her face. You’re sure she just witnessed your conversation with Natasha and you were thankful that Natasha’s back was to her so she would have only seen your half of the conversation.

You offer her a sheepish smile and she blinks a few times before she smiles back, a determined look in her eyes. She goes back to her work and you go back to yours, the afternoon passing quickly.

She leaves before you do, as she always does. The sun is beginning to set outside as she exits through the front door and you sigh wistfully, following her with your eyes until she is out of sight.

You pack up your own things not long after, wanting to make it back to your dorm before it’s completely dark outside. Natasha walks over to clear your table, a knowing grin on her face.

“I still think you should talk to her,” she offers as she picks up your empty plate and mug, balancing them in one hand as she wipes your table down.

“Shut up,” you mumble as you stand, swinging your backpack over your shoulder.

Natasha just laughs at you before replying.

“I’m just saying, you clearly like her. What’s stopping you?”

“Well,” you sigh deeply, turning to face Natasha, “in my experience someone like that is never interested in someone like me.”

Natasha just rolls her eyes, walking back towards the counter to drop off the dirty dishes.

“In my experience and professional expertise,” she tells you, “I think you’re wrong.”

You don’t reply to her statement, saying goodbye to her before you exit the shop.

There was no way she was telling the truth, you told yourself as you began to walk home, she was just being optimistic.

Right?

//

Your days don’t change much over the next month.

Winter has set in now, snow covering the buildings most days as you make your familiar trek to the coffee shop.

You still haven’t talked to your mystery girl, Natasha growing more insistent every day that you should start a conversation with her. You ignore her every time, content to admire her from afar.

You had guessed that, like you, she was a business major based on the textbooks that littered her table often. Judging by the titles she was a junior, taking the classes that you would be attempting next year.

Her hair was growing longer and you loved the days she wore it down. It always looked so soft and you longed to run your hands through the auburn locks. You knew that when she was stressed she would order a sweet treat with her coffee, usually a chocolate donut. She would chew on the end of her pen when she was concentrating and she would always savour her first sip of coffee each day, closing her eyes briefly as she swallowed.

She always looked so calm at that moment and you wished that you could take a picture of it to remember it forever.

It’s only a week until Winter break and you’re at your usual table, trying to finish off an essay that was due after the break. You wanted to get it done before you left to go back home to visit your family, knowing that you wouldn’t have time to get it done with the chaos of the holidays.

A gust of wind catches your attention and you look up to see her walking through the door, looking as beautiful as ever. You watch her from the corner of your eye as she searches the shop instead of walking to the counter like she normally does.

She spots you in the corner and begins to make her way over to you, that same determined look on her face that you had seen a month ago. You can feel your hands start to shake, maybe she was coming over to you to tell you to stop staring at her every day.

She stops in front of you and you look up at her, noticing just how entrancing her eyes were up close. She takes a deep breath, squaring her shoulders and if you didn’t know any better you’d think she was nervous.

She raises her hands and makes a gesture with them. You stare at her confused and she makes the same gesture, slower this time.

You’re still staring at her blankly, wondering what on earth she was doing. She makes the same movement with her hands, looking at you expectantly as if waiting for something to click.

And then it did.

You reach up to take out one of your headphones, watching her face turn from confused to mortified.

“I’m sorry,” you say gently. “I don’t know sign language.”

She clamps her hands over her face, mumbling something you can’t quite hear. You make out the words idiot and embarrassing before she groans loudly into her hands.

You can’t help the small chuckle that escapes your lips and she lowers her hands, her cheeks adorably pink as she chews on her lower lip.

“Why did you think I knew sign language?” you ask, curious to know the answer.

“Uhhhhh,” she begins to answer, before shaking her head slightly. “It’s stupid, don’t worry.”

“C’mon,” you implore, captivated by her soft voice. “You can tell me.”

She just shakes her head again, her cheeks reddening further and just intriguing you more.

“Please,” you try again, pouting at her and seeing her resolve finally break.

“Okay, fine,” she concedes, taking the seat across from you. “But you have to promise not to laugh.”

“Scouts honour,” you reply quickly, holding up your fingers and earning a small smile.

“Okay, well,” she starts, looking at her hands clasped on the table in front of her. “I uh, I noticed you the first time I came here and I thought you were kinda cute so I kept coming back in the hopes that you would be here. And you were, but I was too scared to talk to you. But then Natasha encouraged me to try, and I did a few times but you never replied so I just assumed you weren’t interested.”

You blink slowly, trying to process what she was telling you. She thought you were cute? She had tried to talk to you?

You frown, not remembering a time that you had ever heard her voice before now. Then you remembered that you always had your headphones in, often hidden behind your beanie or your hair so she probably thought you were just ignoring her.

“Then one day,” she continues, still staring at her hands, “I saw you and Natasha have a conversation. I couldn’t see what she was doing, but you looked annoyed and you were waving your hands at her. So I thought that maybe you were using sign language to talk to her and that you might be deaf. Which hurt my ego a lot less than you just ignoring me when I tried to talk to you.”

You remember that incident and you realise what it must have looked like to her. You decide that you want to murder Natasha, she knew that you were both interested in each other but decided to leave that vital piece of information out of her matchmaking scheme.

“So,” she looks up now, her eyes locking on yours, “I decided that I really wanted to get to know you. You seem really kind, you always tip more than you need to. You tidy your table up to make it easier on the workers. You’re studying business too, something we have in common, so I know that you’re smart as well as cute. Your eyebrows scrunch together when you're typing and I just want to reach over and smooth them out. You have really neat handwriting and you always look super adorable in your beanie.”

She stops herself, eyes going wide when she realises that she’s been rambling. Her cheeks are glowing red again and you want to comfort her, to assure her that you were just as into her but you were pretty sure your brain stopped working the first time she called you cute.

“So anyway,” she shrugs, looking back down at the table, “I was determined to talk to you, no matter what. So I’ve been learning sign language on the internet for the past few weeks. I’m not very good at it yet but I was too impatient to wait any longer, plus I had the basics down so I figured we could work something out.”

“Wait,” you finally find your voice, “let me get this straight. You learnt sign language just to be able to talk to me?”

She nods, nervously looking at you as you process that information.

“No one has ever done something like that for me before.” You sound as stunned as you feel.

This beautiful, intelligent, kind woman wanted to talk to you so badly that she decided to learn a whole new language just to be able to communicate with you. You wanted to pinch yourself, sure that you were dreaming.

“Well, I think you’re worth it,” she tells you with a smile and you return it easily, your heart beating furiously in your chest.

“I’m Wanda, by the way,” she informs you, holding out her hand for you to shake.

You tell her your name as you grasp her hand, feeling the warm weight in your own. Her hand just felt right in yours and you didn’t want to let go.

“So,” you begin, smiling at her like a giddy high schooler.

“So,” she repeats, her smile just as wide.

“What now?” you ask, anticipation rushing through you.

“How about you buy me a coffee and we can get to know each other?” Her reply makes your heart stop. Buying her coffee sounded very much like a date and there was nothing more you wanted.

“Sounds perfect,” you reply.

You get up and walk to the counter, glancing back over to Wanda as you wait in line. She's still watching you, smiling every time you catch her eye.

When it’s your turn to order, you look up to find Natasha behind the counter, a smug expression on her face.

“Told you so,” she comments and you resist the urge to poke your tongue out at her.

You order quickly before making your way back to Wanda, ready to start what you hoped would be the last first date of your life.

What if I made a master post of what every single TD character orders at a coffee shop (except half of them arent coffee) I’m in my iced coffee phase rn heres gen 2 and 3 because if you somehow couldn’t tell theyre my favorites

Jo: Black coffee nothing in it and genuinely likes it that way

Brick: Tries to drink black coffee to be tough but enjoys a good vanilla cream coffee more

Anne Maria: Frappuccino or Caramel Macchiato she likes the most extra drinks

Mike: Probably likes generic iced coffee with cream and sugar or like. Matcha

Zoey: Changes her order all the time but always down for a good brown sugar boba or anything strawberry flavored

Cameron: Not much of a drinks guy in general, but if he had to get something I think he’d enjoy a cappuccino or something with lots of foam, he’d like the texture

Lightning: Also not really a drinks guy but I think he’d enjoy a smoothie with lots of protein powder just because health benefits

Sam: Honestly I think he’d be a black coffee guy, bold take but he seems like he wouldn’t really care about the flavor and just drinks coffee or energy drinks for the caffeine

Dakota: Iced lattes or a white mocha usually, she gets really hyped for seasonal drinks though like peppermint mochas or pumpkin spice anything

Scott: Hates tea and anything fruity or cold. Used to drinking plain instant but likes it with a little sugar if he can get his hands on it.

B: Thorough plain tea enjoyer, maybe earl gray or oolong. He likes leafy flavors over fruity ones

Dawn: Also really into tea but she usually likes plant/nut milk in it, or a green smoothie

Staci: Also a boba liker but will go for any good milk teas. She also likes latte foam art but the actual drink is kinda meh to her

Shawn: Cant have coffee much because it makes his nerves absolutely shot but sometimes he has a black coffee when he’s at a low point

Jasmine: Probably likes iced coffee with a little cream and sugar but likes to try new things every once in a while; mostly a fan of savory drinks and not fruity ones tho

Sammy: Loves a good fruit tea but I imagine she’d go for a smoothie too

Amy: Frappes, but the important part is that she berates the barista the entire time they make her drink

Sky: Chai drinker, also sometimes likes smoothies/juices

Dave: one of those dudes who gets annoyed at girls who drink pumpkin spice. Gets black coffee and hates it every time but drinks it anyways to look cool and mysterious (he’s tearing up the whole time)

Rodney: Will drink whatever you get him, he just likes being included. Has everyone’s orders memorized. Has to rehearse before asking for his drink

Topher: Coffee snob, usually likes iced or frappuccinos but will go for almost anything with cream and sugar as long as it’s high enough quality. Keeps trying to figure out Chris’ order; Chris will not tell him but does recommend him beans. These two get bitchy over the beans.

Ella: Pink drink or a vanilla Frappuccino with no coffee. She can’t have caffeine but likes anything sweet and semi fancy

Leonard: Controversial, I think he’d enjoy specifically smoothies or juices with pineapple. It’s got a magical tang. Or Mochas/hot chocolate which Tammy introduced to him.

Sugar: Any shitty instant coffee honestly, her taste buds are goobered. I do think she’d be anti-tea though. Also probably banana smoothies I just think she’d like them

Beardo: Also likes tea, except for matcha. Probably likes lavender tea or smth best because it’s soothing. I don’t think he’d be opposed to coffee but I think it would be like too much.

Scarlett: I think she’d secretly enjoy those refreshers like the fruit and juice ones, but usually gets tea to feel sophisticated. She likes hot drinks btw

Max: Once again attempts to drink black tea but just hates coffee. Secretly enjoys juice or chocolate milk out of a coffee cup. Everyone knows but doesnt tell him
