Library Wakeup|| Dakota&Leo
"Whatever it is that you’re so nervous about, I promise I won’t do it, ok?" Leo did his best to try and calm Dakota before she did something she’d regret in her frazzled frame of mind. Really he didn’t mean to, if he’d known it was her up here he really wouldn’t have offered to be the one to check.
Play nice. It was literally the one and only thing they had agreed between each other when they broke it off. Be nice, be civil. If that wasn’t possible then just turn away. But despite the awkward tension that hung in the air, Leo would try his damnedest to be the adult here. I mean, how mad could she still be at him? It had been a few months… there was no way, she was still as angry as she had been, right? Fuck, who was he kidding?
"Yea, hi. Want coffee? I swear it’s exactly how you like it." He shook the coffee cup he’d gotten from the cafe a few ways down before setting it down within her reach to take or reject. By some coincidence, or maybe it was just an acquired taste he picked up from her, they liked their coffee in the same way.
"Look, I think we need to talk."
Her ears perked up at coffee. While she had to admit this was awkward as anything coffee would help to make things at least more manageable. She reached out to grab the coffee. Inhaling deeply before she took a healthy sip. It was the perfect temperature and he had made sure to keep the perfect balance of sugar to coffee.
She set the coffee back down. Sliding it over to him. He obviously hadn't brought it just for her so she knew well enough not to take away someone else's coffee.
"Look, I'm sorry for falling asleep. I just lost track of time. I didn't mean to bother you. We can just forget the whole thing."
She knew that wasn't what he meant but she couldn't totally bring herself to have that conversation just yet. At least not without a lot of push, or maybe just a really stiff drink. Or 50 stiff drinks. The whole situation was enough to send off the 'This is awkward' bells in her head.
