it was almost a routine now, seeing the other male every other day with a new guy around his arm. at first, riley paid no attention to it and it was only the fact that he had come to learn the other’s order off by heart that he’d take the time of day to look at the man’s date. through the few brief conversations he had, riley had learnt that the man was constantly being set up by his parents and that the coffee shop was one of his favourite locations. riley couldn’t help but chuckle at the time and entered a sport of unspoken agreement with him to ensure that he was as comfortable as possible at all times.
today’s man looked rather... generic. considering the other men he had seen the man walk in with, riley assumed that the parents were running out of options. not serving anyone allowed him to lean against the counter and wait for the other to notice him to which he gave a little nod and wave, acknowledging his presence. he rolled his eyes a little playfully as if to signal his own opinion of the date, matching it with a smile.
