Here it iiiis ! I tagged all of you because you answered me regarding the coin thing (thank you again) but maybe you're not all into the Bright fandom (and that's ok). Based on whatever country uses coins ! 😆
It is silly, but it is CUTE.

Tonight is the night !
You start your new job as a cashier at a nightclub, not far away from your flat.. And with no surprise, the security guard is an orc. Naturally bulky and muscular, they are a first choice for those jobs. Any troublemaker calm the hell down with a simple eye contact.
Anyway, the night goes alright, you two don’t speak that much as you’re both focused on your respective job. By the time of the last entry, you’re counting the money to close the cash register. But you notice the pointy ears of your coworker twitch everytime a coin falls in the cash drawer. You slowly turn your head towards him.
“Something’s wrong ?”
He looks at you interrogatively.
“Your ears twitch”, you say, letting an other coin fall… and an other twitch of the ear.
“Don’t pay attention to that, count the money.”
It’s a chance you are used to the defensive tone of orcs. Still, you don’t understand why he’s acting like that. You focus again. After a minute, you get it.
It must hurt !
The night over, you return home with a plan for the next night. You arrive at work earlier that time, to install your idea (with still a bit of apprehension). Is it gonna work ? The night goes smoothly and the time you’ve been waiting for arrived.
You glance discreetly at your coworker, let a coin fall and… nothing. You were right: the sound hurts !
As you count, the money falls in the drawer, making only a thud on the velvet you glued at the bottom of it. Only occasionally making a clicking sound. After a couple of second, your coworker turns his head towards you, with a frown. He looks at your hands as they let the coins fall and as your lips counting silently. Then, all smile, you look at him.
“Better ?”
He looks up at you and you can see in his eyes the exact moment he understands what’s going on. He turns his head, trying to hide the shy smile appearing on his face but you already saw it. For a reason you can’t explain, you feel incredibly happy.
Looks like you just became the best coworker.
