The sight of Patton’s favorite coffee shop brings a bright smile to his face and his excitement for his usual coffee drink grows. It’s been a few days since he’s had a chance to get here last and he’s more than ready to partake in his favorite coffee beverage.

The bell rings as Patton pushes open the door.

The shop is fairly busy, filled with mostly regulars though by the looks of it, there are some newcomers trying the coffee for the first time. Good, its what the shop deserves.

“Hey babes. I haven’t seen you for a few days so I thought you found a new coffee shop and that broke my poor little heart,” calls out a familiar voice.

Patton looks over to the counter and sees the owner, Remy standing there with his hand dramatically over his heart.

Shaking his head, he grins at his friend’s antics.

“Oh no, I’d never do that. I know better than that,” replies Patton, “I’ve missed you and the coffee these last few days. Blame it on work.”

Remy laughs.

“Do you need me to talk to Logan?” asks Remy.

“I appreciate it but after last time…..” Patton trails off.

Signing into the register, Remy focuses on the task at hand, now that his favorite customer is here.

“So, the usual Pat?” asks Remy.

Patton nods his head.

“Yuppers!”

Remy smiles as he enters the order into the register.

“So, one large vanilla latte and let’s see what scones we have today,” he looks into the baked goods display, “one cinnamon scone for everyone’s favorite cinnamon roll.”

Patton blushes at the compliment.

“Go have a seat, Patton and I’ll bring everything over when it’s ready,” comments Remy.

“Thanks Rem,” replies Patton.

He walks over to one of the free tables by the window then scans the coffee shop, to people watch while he waits. Eventually, his gaze lands back at the counter and moves down the line from Remy helping another customer to the baristas making drinks and chatting.

In that second, Patton realizes there’s a new person behind the counter – tall, well-kept hair, a charming smile who’s making the people around him laugh as he makes the orders for the customers.

The new barista catches Patton’s eye and winks, causing him to blush then turn his head away.

----------

On a particularly hot day, Patton decides to swing by the coffee shop for some nice and iced to drink because he needs a break from all the water and Gatorade he’s had already, to keep properly hydrated. He thinks Logan would be proud of him.

Patton waves at a couple of people he knows as he makes his way up the counter.

However, instead of Remy working the register, it’s the new barista.

Ok Patton. You’ve got this. Just because handsome and charming doesn’t mean anything.

The man’s eyes widen in excitement when he realizes who Patton.

“Oh! You’re a friend of Remy’s and one of the first people who came here when he opened up a few years ago,” he says grinning.

Patton blinks at few times.

Then he blushes; both at the fact the man knows who he is and that Remy’s been talking about him.

“Yup! That’ll be me!” replies Patton brightly.

The man chuckles.

“So, what will it be, padre?”

“Think I’ll do the iced chai tea latte and make it a large,” Patton looks at the man’s name tag, “Roman. Thanks!”

Roman rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment.

“I didn’t introduce myself, did I? I’ve only been here a few days,” says Roman.

Patton smiles.

“No worries, that’s why name tags were invented,” replies Patton.

Roman rings him up then Patton pays before stepping out of the way of the next customer while he waits for his drink. Patton can’t help watching Roman with a smile on his face.

----------

Weeks pass and Patton strikes up a friendship with Roman and it’s been the best few weeks of his life so far or it would be, if it wasn’t for this pesky little crush he’s developed on Roman. It’s just, Roman is so good, so kind and so charming. Really, it’s no surprise Patton’s fallen for him honestly.

Patton enters the coffee shop one day, ready to see two of his favorite people in the world (he can’t forget about Remy after all).

In the doorway, he pauses once he spots Roman – Roman standing very close to another guy dressed all in purple and black, blushing at whatever Roman’s whispering into his ear.

He decides he’s not in the mood for coffee after all.

----------

“To be fair, it’s not like the topic of our relationship statuses ever came up. To use your words, it’s highly probable that Roman has a boyfriend. I would have been surprised if he didn’t.”

Patton stares down at the coffee in his hands and sighs.

Sitting here in this popular chain coffee shop with Logan makes him feel weird and guilty. Not the Logan part; he likes that part actually. The coffee shop is too much for him to take – too loud, too fast and too crowded.

It’s not Remy’s coffee shop.

Logan stares at his friend with a frown on his face.

“Perhaps, you should talk to Roman. Clearly, you miss him and I’m sure he misses you. You’re a hard person to not miss,” states Logan.

Patton gives him a small smile.

“Wouldn’t it be poking my nose into something that’s not my business though? If he wanted me to know, he’d tell me when he’s good and ready to,” responds Patton dejectedly.

After all, he’s been taught to respect people’s privacy.

Logan’s frown grows bigger.

“You do seem to have quite the conundrum, Patton.”

He just sighs then takes a sip of the subpar coffee.

----------

Patton’s phone goes off, letting him know that he has a text message so he pulls out his phone and sees that its from Remy. The message is simply a video of a very sad-looking Roman trying to go about his job.

Immediately, he feels guilty.

Regardless of his feelings for Roman, Patton misses him and makes a mental note to stop by the coffee shop after work. He only hopes it won’t backfire on him and that Remy hasn’t banned him.

----------

Opening the door to the shop, Patton’s relieved to find the place fairly empty so he won’t make a fool of himself in front of a crowd. The first person he sees is Remy, so he cautiously makes his way over to him.

“Uh, hey Remy….”

Patton bites his lip as he watches his friend freeze at the sound of his voice before slowly turn around. He wasn’t prepared for what happened next.

Remy’s eyes widen at his appearance then slowly scan Patton’s body from head to toe then back up again.

“PATTON!”

Throwing his arms around the startled Patton, Remy hugs him tightly and doesn’t let go for a few minutes.

He releases Patton from his hug but keeps hold of his hand.

“If I had known a video of Roman was all that it took to bring you back in, I would have sent it earlier,” comments Remy.

Patton blushes.

“A what of me?” asks a familiar voice.

Roman appears in the doorframe leading to the hallway the restrooms are located and Patton feels the breath leaves his body because Roman looks not very glittery like the last time Patton saw him.

Time slows down the moment Roman sees Patton standing there.

Remy lets go of Patton’s hand then slowly backs away, subtly getting the last of the customers out of the shop before flipping the sign to ‘Close’ and locking the front door. Then he watches his friends from somewhere out of the way.

Roman stumbles over his feet in a hurry to get to Patton, afraid this is a hallucination and he’ll fade away.

Eyes wide and concern for Roman hurting himself, Patton rushes towards him just in time to have Roman trip over his feet, sending him flying into Patton, who’s arms wrap around his waist as he’s knocked to the floor.

Looking up at Roman and meeting his gaze, Patton smiles brightly which is returned quickly and makes Roman look more like himself.

Roman slowly gets off of him then stands up before holding out a hand for Patton to take and he does, so with Roman’s help, he’s on his feet in seconds.

“You alright, padre? Didn’t mean to knock you over,” says Roman.

Patton gives his hand a squeeze.

“I’m good, better than good actually,” he replies.

Before either of them can say more, another voice interjects.

“What the hell is going on here?”

It’s the purple punk guy Patton say talking to Roman last time he was here. He can’t help trying to drop Roman’s hand and putting some space between them.

Roman’s having none of that.

Tugging on his hand, Roman causes Patton to stumble into him then quickly let’s go of Patton’s hand in order to wrap his arm around his shoulder instead.

Mr. Purple makes his way across the room to them.

Patton looks between the two men in confusion.

“Isn’t he your boyfriend, Roman?”

There’s silence for a couple minutes before its broken by the sound of glass breaking – Remy dropped a glass on the floor in order to cover his mouth to hide his laughter.

“Yeah no, my dude. Whoever told you that is selling something. Princey here is the closet thing I have to a brother and my best friend but he’s not my type. I prefer someone with a brain in his head. I’m Virgil, by the way and you must be Patton,” explains Virgil.

Patton shakes his hand as he blushes because of his assumption.

Roman stares at Patton with his mouth open for a few minutes before he realizes what happened.

“Oh Patton, you cute puffball you,” he comments.

Virgil smirks.

“Yeah, Princey here prefers guys who wear polos, have glasses and lots of freckles that he wants to count then kiss.”
