My father Tony was in his lab working on a new project and I headed over to the lab to go sit with him and I loved hearing the tinkering sounds when Tony worked and when I walked in I smiled at my dad and when I saw Tony walk over I hugged him and he gently guided me to a nearby chair and offered me a can of my favorite soda and I gratefully took the drink âthank you dadâ I said softly as I opened it and took a sip and I noticed Tony pulling up a chair and I heard him say, âalright kid, I can tell something is on your mind and you know you can talk to me anytime right?â My dad knew me very well which I loved and hated at the same time.
(Tonyâs POV)
My project could wait, being here for Y/N was my priority and I didnât like seeing something weigh heavy on her mind, as a dad you wanna fix everything for your kid, I reached over for my own soda and I waited for her to speak her mind and I wasnât in a rush. I finally heard Y/N speak and tell me, âdad I like this guy at school but I canât tell if he likes me.. and I wish mom was here so she could give me advice on what to do.. I really like himâ I rubbed my neck and I wasnât always the best at relationship advice and having my daughter at the age of liking boys was hard but I took a deep breath and gave my advice. âHoney, just be honest and let him know how you feel but if he doesnât like you back then he wasnât worthy of my girl but you can hold your head up knowing you were brave to tell him and if he hurts you let me know and Iâll make sure this boy doesnât mess with you againâ I chuckled softly but I meant it.
(Y/Nâs POV again)
I smiled as I listened to my dad and Tony always knew how to help me and his advice was pretty similar to my motherâs which was comforting and I enjoyed sitting with Tony no matter if he was tinkering or if we just talked all day and I spoke up to thank Tony.
âThank you dad for helping me I appreciate it, I love you dadâ Tony hugged me close and ruffled my hair and pulled back to look at me softly and he placed his hand where my heart was and said âIâll always be right here kiddo, always I love you now how about you help me finish building this new iron suit huh?â I got excited and I placed my soda aside and we worked together on Tonyâs new iron man suit and it felt good having a father-daughter day just us.

Hiya can I make a request sooooo how do you feel about TimKon x reader dating headcanons and like they are in a poly relationship like Tim Drake and Kon-El are like my most FAVORITE EVER and Iâd really love to read headcanons or basically any content about them
thank you so much for the support!! i hope you love these just as much as you love the others đ
dating tim and kon hcs!! â(â§âœâŠ)â
â dating tim is one thing, and dating kon is another. put âem together though? oh boy!
â thereâs never a dull moment with these two. like! theyâll unintentionally enable the other to do dumb stuff. sometimes youâre right there along with them, sometimes youâre shaking your head in disappointment
â personal space? yeah, no. thatâs a foreign concept to the two of them. timâs touch-starved, and kon just likes to have the two of you close. i like to think of him as the clingiest + he has major cuteness aggression where you and tim are concerned
â cuddle-piles are a MUST on lazy days or at night. kon makes up the base, and you and tim are splayed across him. he claims that he sleeps better with the pressure (that barely bothers him, mind you)
â kon has no filter when it comes to his 3am thoughts. depending on the type of person you are, youâre either doing the same or youâre groaning alongside tim for him to just GO TO BED.
â if youâre a hero/vigilante of some sort? youâre going on missions with them. no ifs ands or buts about it. itâs⊠definitely an experience! you get to bear witness to tim being a bit of a control freak, and kon trying to do his own thing because he believes his way is superior (ă ïčă )
â if youâre just a regular old civilian, expect crazy tales about their missions! kon likes to exaggerate their shared (or just his) feats, while tim tells you how the mission really went. though when things went well, heâll let kon have his fun without any fuss
â YOU ARE SPOILED. like theyâre both nepo-babies⊠even though kon doesnât like to acknowledge his ties to lex too much. but like.. best believe that you will be provided for no matter what
â tim likes to listen to the playlist that kon put together for you three whenever heâs working on something, or when he has to be away from you two for an extended period of time
â dates are a little hard to plan. tim wants somewhere quiet, while kon loves excitement. you three usually settle for somewhere like the beach or stargazing. sometimes an amusement park!! expect tim to be a huge nerd about rollercoaster physics
â i genuinely hope you like yappers. once tim and kon get started on a topic theyâre passionate about, they NEVERRRR stop talking. god save you if they have a shared interest because then theyâll start completing each otherâs thoughts. itâs actually impressive to watch
â nicknames!! kon has specific ones he likes for the two of you. tim doesnât use nicknames as often, but he does have some that he uses for the two of you in his notes/thoughts
â you and tim are always welcome at ma and pa kentâs place! theyâll insist that you two spend the night, especially if it means getting a break from the hustle and bustle of city life
â on the flip side⊠good luck staying at wayne manor. genuinely. you will NEVER get a moment of peace if timâs family has anything to say about it. like iâm talking about someone barging in only to leave without shutting the door. getting settled in and comfortable only for someone to loudly yell your name across the house. please don't spend the night.
â tim likes two know where you guys are. no, heâs not going to inject trackers into your skin. but heâll send texts!! and you three probably have some sort of life-alert type thing on your respective phones too. youâre mildly surprised that alien planets have surprisingly good reception
â tim totally pierced konâs ears, and heâd definitely do yours too if you asked. youâd all make a whole night of it! kon would love helping you pick some piercings out.. obvi he wants to match in some way
â you and kon will happily ambush tim to make him get some sleep so heâs not takin micronaps for half the day. konâs on capturing duty, and you save and close out his files. he might protest in the moment, but heâs genuinely touched that you guys care so much
â if you three ever plan live together in the future, expect the place to be on the cluttered side. timâs a bit of a messy worker when he's completely locked in, and kon canât STAND being in sterile environments for too long; he calls them depressing as hell. that being said, the place isn't junky!! they'd clean up after themselves
synopsis ; he gets you flowers and after having a difficult day you happen to take it more personal than usual.
Featuring, Itoshi Rin !
ââ .âŠ
â you didnât mean to start crying. Honestly. But youâve had one of the worst days ever. It felt like the whole world was plotting against you today.
Your lectures were slow and boring, your classmates bailed on the project you had to work on today, the cafeteria ran out of your favourite snacksâ ( which is detrimental to getting work done ! )
and youâve overall had such negative interactions with people which led to feeling even worse as you texted your boyfriend to meet you as you had made plans weeks prior.
Who wouldâve known today was going to be so bad ?
You were so ready to just go back to your dorm and cry yourself to sleep but you didnât want to upset him, and you barely had time to see each other because of how busy you both were.
You bundle up further in your jacket as you wait outside the building, not having realised how cold it was before.
It is winter so thatâs a given, but still.
It was just another thing that made you sulk further.
â stupid. How do you not realise that itâs cold. â you mumble to yourself as you look down at the ground, letting out a sigh.
Hence why you donât see or hear Rin as he creeps up closer, almost standing in front of you.
â why are you not wearing a scarf ? Itâs freezing. â
His tone is scolding but still soft as he gazes over your figure, taking his own scarf off putting it around your neck and looping it once.
â I didnât realise, but arenât you gonna be cold rin- â
â shut up and take it, youâre more important. â
By the time heâs done you already feel more warm. Not only because of the scarf. But his presence. Maybe there is one good thing about today after all.
â look up, whatâs wrong ? â Rin questions as he grips your chin gently, hand cold yet comforting on your skin.
You look up at him gently as you take in his features. All sharp but still managing to melt your heart like heâs made of pure sunshine.
You internally laugh at the comparison because Rin was nothing like the sun in that sense.
Before you can ask him anything about how his day went, youâre surprised when you see a bouquet of lilies suddenly appear in front of you.
Pink lilies to be exact.
Your favourites.
You gasp as you take the bouquet in your arms.
â whatâs this for ? â you ask him as you stare at the flowers admiring how beautiful they looked.
â just because. â he mumbles softly as he looks away.
And apparently thatâs a very strong reason because even before he finishes you feel tears creep up in your eyes immediately followed by sniffles.
Rin stares up at you suddenly, â hey, baby, whatâs wrong ? â he asks worriedly as he grabs your face, pulling you closer and observing you.
â I just, you got me flowers. â you manage to speak through your weeping.
Rin just stares at you softly, pulling you in a hug.
â howâs that any reason to cry. Youâre such a dork. â he mutters as he hugs you to his chest, careful of the flowers as he places your head under his chin.
You donât comment as you sob into his chest, blabbering on about your day and how horrible it was, as he just listens, approving you when he gets the chance.
â how about you sleep over at my dorm today and we watch that stupid film you love. We can even quote it like you like. â he suggests with a hum as he feels you pull back.
â pride andâŠprejudice is not stupid. And you swear ? â you state through sniffles.
Rin just smiles fondly as he touches your cheek. â of course. Anything to not see you cry. â
Hearing that you immediately bite down on your lip, staring at Rin with teary eyes once again.
Seeing your expression, the boy becomes unable to control his chuckle as he picks you up.
â okay thatâs it. No more crying. No more being sad, weâre going. I might just drop you if I hear another sob. â
â You wouldnât dare ! My flowers would be ruined. â you reply in mock offence as you cover your mouth with your hand.
â then iâd just get you new ones. â he retorts back to you, smile adorning his usual stoic face.
á°.á youâre gonna marry, kiss or kill meâ ~~
itoshi sae x reader
â â un homme et une femme. â
ââ
dating the known prodigy itoshi sae was sometimes a surprise to you. it felt like you were from two worlds apart â you, a university student with a dream of opening your own flower shop one day; he, the âreviverâ of Japanese football. you always found that nickname silly, especially due to the fact that saeâs intentions werenât even closely related to what people of thought of him at all. And often, thinking about the way you met it seems a lot like fate had it written in the stars for you to be together. Well if you ignore the fact that Oliver Aiku is the one that led to you meeting.
he had asked your friend on a date, typical of course. What he didnât realise is that on the same day of their supposed date he had also told Sae that heâll pay off one of his many favours with a meal. Similarly, your lovely friend and colleague who you have covered shift for two times in the past week also told you sheâll be taking you out to a âfancy and filling meal, all on her.â
so instead of cancelling the date as normal people would, and paying off their favours, they decide to bring you both along with them.
ËâĄË àŁȘ ËâĄË àŁȘ ËâĄË àŁȘ
Sae remembers the first time he saw you like it was yesterday. At first he had regretted agreeing to Oliverâs request. He couldnât care less about getting anything in return, since as proved, even that brought more trouble than pleasure when involving yourself with the man. But who wouldâve known it would turn out to be the most life changing day of his life.
Sae had scored many beautiful goals. Played for all the teams he wanted to. Became a worshipped player in Japan and surpassed even the most difficult challenges in Spain. Yet none of these things were as fulfilling as looking into your eyes for the first time. No kidding. They were like jewels, shining beautifully in the low lit room. Sae couldâve sworn that his heart stopped for a second. It must have. And you were the angel that brought him back to life. Because there was no other explanation to how refreshing and enchanting the ambience turned as soon as you entered the room.
You were just as nervous as he was. Having complained about your outfit while getting ready, on the way there and while you entered the truly fancy restaurant. You knew your life wasnât exactly boring, but this was not your typical every-day situation. I mean on a random Wednesday afternoon ? Truly not. But free food definitely sounded rewarding after reminding yourself of the hellish week you had covering for your friend. Now, what you didnât expect was seeing the familiar red-head next to the cute brunette who had asked your friend out.
Everyone knew Sae Itoshi. The reviver of Japanese football, a prodigy, a celebrity and supposedly the most unreachable man that was ever to exist with how packed his schedule was. So how the hell was Sae Itoshi in the same restaurant as you, at the same table on a random Wednesday afternoon. You had no idea and while you were freaking out about the whole situation, you werenât going to show it. That was the plan. Right before you made the most intense eye contact known to man with no one other than Sae.
Okay, now you were freaking out. How were his eyes so green ? How could you even focus on that from such a distance ? Why was he looking so much ? Also why does he seem so shocked ? Why isnât he looking away ? Why werenât you looking away ? All you knew was that this must be the love at first sight they talk in about every rom-com you have ever watched.
Before you realise, you were already nearing the table, eyes moving towards the brunette who immediately got up a smile on his face as he hugged your friend.
â hey there gorgeous, and __ if I remember right ? â he adds with a bright tone as he puts his hand out for you to shake.
You smile back unconsciously. Immedtaiely understanding why your friend was so excited about meeting him. He definitely had his fair share of charisma, however he did seem like the player type.
â itâs nice to meet you Aiku. â
There is a little more small conversation before Oliver decides to introduce Sae. As if anyone needed to. You think to yourself as your gaze turns towards the red-head.
â this is sae, my buddy. Itâs funny how all of our calendars clashed right ? â oliver says, putting his arm around sae as the red head eyes him with a look that just showed how done he was with the overly excited aiku.
â itâs all your faultââ sae begins pulling away from him before aiku shuts him up again.
â now, we should introduce yaâ guys right ? Sae this is __ , and __ this is Sae, he can be a little harsh but donât let that get to you thatâs just him. â
Sae yet again gives the man a pointed look before nodding a hello to your friend and turning to you. And why is time seemingly stopping again ?
â hey, itâs nice to meet you. â he says in possibly the softest tone youâve heard him speak tonight and was he turning red ?
â hi, itâs.. nice to meet you too. â you reply, matching the same tone and putting your hand out immediately regretting it after. God itâs gonna be so embarrassing heâs not gonna shake handsâ
But your train of thoughts is interrupted when you feel a much warmer hand touching yours. And you couldnât help your heart from doing flips at the small contact. His grip was firm and soft. Looks like those stupid magazines werenât exaggerating about that.
On the other hand Sae felt as if he was going to jump out of his chair. Your hand was soft and a little cold, but most of all it felt so fitting in his own. He couldnât help but get lost in the moment over the moon with the silly thought of making an excuse just to hold your hand longer.
Unbeknownst to you, this interaction was being eagerly watched by the two other people on the side of the table, who were giving each-other knowing smirks as if they knew this would happen at all.
â lover, remember the first time we met ? â
â hm, of course I do. I still love that colour on you. â
â did you realise we were kind of matching ? I mean the colours we were wearing. â
â Yes I did. And I couldnât be more glad of it that night. â
â it must have been fated for us to meet. â
Sae smiles back faintly before you guysâ moment is stopped by a phone ringing. Youâre both immediately out of it as Sae looks at the caller ID, pointing the phone in your direction as you both erupt in small laughter amongst yourself reading the screen.
I haven't updated this old thing in months... But here, deciding to take a leap, I'll write what I have in mind to write and perhaps edit it if ever the plot changes overtime.
Chapter 2: Confinement
Bill Cipher x Reader
Trapped between the recession of the void and existence. The crystalized mental institution resides calmly within it. With an enigma trapped in each room, a certain chaos pertains in specifically one of them.
Tightly locked up, Bill Cipher stares towards his padded ceiling. It's been too long, far too long. After his little weirdmageddon incident, he quickly got sent here for... redemption.
It sickens him, sure he was amused at the start, however as time went on, he grew frustrated. Being trapped within this place that somehow managed to make him more crazier than usual as his mind scratched against his skull. Begging to be let out.
Considering it's been quite some time, he can't deny that they were slowly inching to his core. Each passing moment he stays here, a little bit of himself was ever so slightly revealed. Although he still will never try to admit/ recall his past around his therapists. Still though, his very own being was very slowly getting unraveled and studied. Did he change? Not exactly...
Being forced to introspect and feel his feelings, to be forced to sit through the most eye-opening talks with therapists that he refused to listen to, and even only having to do nothing for hours on end surely made it hard for him to stay the same. But truth be told he still does claim the title for being the weirdest and chaotic being there is. As he does try to make things as chaotic as possible within the facility, however each time it doesn't exactly go according to plan. Be it, because it doesn't cause enough suffering for him to enjoy, or his plans get thwarted before it even began. He can't even form an evil alliance with anyone due to security getting maximized around him.
Bill hated it, he hated all the rules, regulations, the positivity. It was absurd to him how they could truly reform the most nightmarish looking beings there is. But not him, not yet... Although he does deny any help and any attempt at trying to redeem him, he can't exactly deny that he still does get affected by what they do to him. And well, he's been thinking. Thinking... about his pa-. Drawing red and blue triangles all around, he refuses to explain to anyone what they mean. He just draws and draws sometimes in his spare time, and all he does draw are these specific shape with the same colours, red, and blue...
Once, he did attempt to escape, using a book. Writing, and hiding all the time. It was difficult to execute but he did all he could to make just a tiny bit of contact to the outside world. However, to his dismay this little scheme of his quickly got terminated afterwards.
Now shrouded in the darkness of his own self, alone and self-isolated, he waited. For another chance to be let out, for anyone to shake that damned hand of his back on earth.
And then...
As Bill rested on the soft mattress of his bed, he closed his eye for a moment before hearing something. A familiar tune soon reached him. Quickly recognizing it, his eye opened wide as he inspected the room with disbelief.
But as he soon realized he is truly alone within his room, his shock slowly turned to eagerness as he realized he most likely heard it from his stone, cold body back on earth.
Truth be told Bill can still sense with his body back on earth. However it's very limited and weaked though, but it's there. It's still his body, an old one for sure, but somehow he's still attached to it.Â
The hum was slow, and steady. Calm like how his m-
Shaking that thought, Bill still felt a little unease towards the tune, but knowing that someone was in close proximity of his frozen self made him forget about it slightly. Finally, just as he was anticipating for around a few years now. Someone might actually be able to free him from the confines of what he considered as hell. He just hoped that the unlucky soul knew how to shake his hand.
Hello everyone, so I've recently replayed the game Love Cafe wherein Bill Cipher is a barista and you engage in one of those cafe love stories. Since it's pretty much never continued, I decided to write a little continuation for it.
I characterized Bill here as being less crazy than usual. From the game, I interpreted him as more chill, yet still pertaining to a bit of weirdness...since it's Bill. He's still a bit distant I suppose, and of course he still does have an ego.
I highly recommend you all to play the game. It's free here!

Unplanned Meeting
Barista Bill Cipher x Reader | Oneshot | Fluff | SFW
Warnings: Bill Cipher lol
Typing the number into your phone, you wonder if it's a good idea to befriend a triangle shaped demon from that coffee shop you met earlier. Looking down at your finished latte then to the note he gave you, your eyes lingers at the heart shape he scribbled on the note. A little smile reaches your face and you sigh, you think to yourself how weird your romantic interests are.
Still though, you're unsure about this certain person. However you can't exactly deny that he's quite interesting.
Saving the number to your phone, you thought about messaging him first before calling. But deciding to do so later on, you continue your day as usual.
_________________________________________
A few days passed by and you've somehow forgotten to message Bill over the phone. Perhaps your hesitation affected your interest from the guy. Well truth be told you still do want to talk to Bill, your mind most likely drifted from that subject though due to your work as a secretary for a semi-big company and your responsibility to look after a few plants for your aunt.
Work weighed quite heavily for a while that it made you very busy for the past few days. That and considering you've been plant sitting for some time, it's no wonder the thought of talking to Bill slipped from your mind.
However you did sometimes think about it at certain intervals of the day. Weighing the pros and cons if ever you two would get together. The only problem was there wasn't a right time to message, be it because you might have accidentally fallen asleep, or you have work, either way you've just become a tad bit more busy than usual.
Today however, as you now finished work for the day and finished watering your aunt's plants as well. You're now free to do whatever you'd like. And now as your gaze lands on the horizon from where your aunt's front door stands, you think wether or not to visit the cafe and approach him there instead of approaching him on the phone.
Considering that your aunt coincidentally lives nearby the cafe Bill worked at, meeting him there isn't a bad idea. Though you are pretty nervous to do so. Locking your aunt's front door, you then proceeded to lean on it for support. Pondering, you wonder if he still remembers you, and if it's still a good idea to reach out to him after some time has passed.
Thinking about it, you decide it won't hurt to try and get to know him. Besides, you wouldn't exactly mind if he wasn't all that interested anymore, being friends still sounds nice.
Before you could leave your aunt's front lawn though, a familiar voice calls out to you. You lift your head and your gaze meets Bill!
Surprised, you instantly smile and wave to him, "Hey there..."
He waves back, his eye making it slightly clear he's not upset at you... That's a good sign, "I'm surprised to see you here," he answers.
"Ah well you see, my aunt lives nearby and I had to take care of her plants while she was away..." You reply, walking towards him, "I'm guessing your shift is done?"
"Pretty much, yeah," he answers.
"That's good..." Momentarily you pause, "It's been awhile huh?" You asked, a sheepish smile on your face.
"Yeah... I take it you've been busy for some time?" He asked, his voice sounding like he knows something.
"Well yes actually," you spoke, a sorry smile still plastered on your face.
"Figured, you know I saw you 2 days ago" Bill spoke, pointing his finger at you.
"Really?" You ask, your interest piqued.
"Yeah, it was early in the morning so there wasn't much of a crowd. Across the street you were running pretty fast," he explained.
Thinking back to it, you pause for a second to remember...
___________
Flashback: You felt groggy and tired, but persevereng through it you manage to get yourself ready. Fighting time, you ran as fast as you could to reach your aunt's place to water her plants and get out of there to get to work early.
___________
Quickly recalling, you then answer, "Oh well that's probably the time when I had to water my aunt's plants in the morning because I needed to focus on my work the whole day," you recalled.
Taking the courage, you were about to apologize for not reaching out to him earlier, but he spoke before you could do so.
"You don't need to apologize. I get it, we all get busy these days, it's natural," he spoke nonchalantly, his gaze averting from you as he continued to speak, "And besides, considering that your aunt lives nearby, it was pretty much a given we were gonna meet again."
"I guess that's true, still though I feel bad that I didn't reach out earlier..." You sighed, before meeting his gaze once more.
"Well if you really wanna make it up to me, you could buy me a cup of tea," he spoke, clearly hinting he might want to go out with you right now. That or he might just want to hangout.
A bit surprised at his suggestion, you stare at him before he continues to explain, "I mean, since you really wanted to have a chat, why not have it somewhere else than your aunt's front lawn?"
You chuckled, your smile easing to a comfortable one, "Alright then, but I don't exactly know where to get a good cup of tea though..."
"If you still remember what I said last time, you give me a call if you wanted to know the ins and outs of this town. Considering you're here now, I could give you a bit of a tour of the best places you wanna hangout in," he states.
"Wait I thought I was the one doing the favor here," you spoke a little jokingly.
"And you still are, think about it this way, I'm just doin' what I said I was gonna do. Buying me a cup of tea still is a favor," he spoke with what you guessed is a smile, "Besides, it won't take long and a little stroll around the place won't hurt."
Looking at the clock, it was around 3:50 p.m. It took you a second before you nodded, "Alright then, I guess it wouldn't hurt."
Smiling back at him, he began to lead the way. You quickly followed, walking beside him.
The stroll around the place was nice. Bill led you to a few diners that we're near, one was shaped like a log! Other than that he did show you where a few cafe's were, but still told you to prioritize going to the cafe he worked at. You both got a bit sidetracked for a while though as he let you admire a few things in the town. In the end, you both decided to have tea at a shop nearby the forest. Both of you took a table near the window and ordered some tea to drink as planned.
It turns out your little stroll did take awhile though as you realized it's now 5:30 p.m.! Remembering the schedule, the last bus home is going to arrive at 7. You don't like going home late, however you supposed it's a small price to pay in comparison to how you're now getting to know Bill better.
...Â
Since the sun was setting a bit earlier these days by the time both of you sat down, the lighting outside looked very promising. With a nice shade of orange reflected back inside, it made the shop look scenic.
You looked around the place before meeting his gaze, a smile stretching on your face as you do so. "Well our stroll took longer than expected," you pointed at the clock.
"Yeah, I guess it was," he agreed, "But hey at least you know this place a bit better now."
"Yes, it was really nice... I think my favourite part about it was seeing that log shaped diner," you commented, "It must've been a big tree."
"Yeah, I think it was about 50 meters tall," he replied, looking like he was almost recalling what it looked like before it got turned into a diner.
"Oh, did you see it before it got cut down?" You asked curiously.
"Uhh, no, I just heard it was around that tall before it fell," he answered, his gaze averting from yours. Well truth be told he probably was there when the tree was still living though...
"How about you, what was your favorite part of the stroll?" You asked, continuing the conversation.
"Well..." Thinking back, he remembers earlier when you were admiring the statue placed in the middle of the town. The statue was surrounded by a few flowers due to the small patch of grass that surrounded it. While you were admiring the statue, you picked up a flower and placed it on your ear. Picking a matching one, you gave one to him as well. It was a silly moment, but to him it was adorable.
"I think seeing the log shaped diner was also my favorite part. I don't stroll around that much anymore so seeing it again was nice," Bill spoke calmly, still looking like he was in thought before asking you a question in return.
"Now since you know what my job is, care to tell me yours?" Bill asked, leaning slightly towards you.
"Well currently I have a job as a secretary for company Undermax. And for the past few days they've been dumping me more work than usual," you answer.
"Must be pretty boring dealing with that much paperwork," he comments, his fingers tapping on the table.
"Well I suppose it sometimes is, but well the pay is good so what can I say," you replied with a smile.
"Can't argue with you on that," he comments back.
After a moment, your drinks shortly came afterwards. Pouring two cups of tea, you then placed a good amount of sugar into your cup.
Taking a sip Bill commented, "Eh, I've tasted better."
You chuckled before taking a sip form yours, it tasted decent, and a bit soothing. It wasn't bad though.
"I don't know it tastes pretty decent to me," you answer back to Bill.
"That's because you've never tasted a good brew," he replies, making you chuckle once more, "Trust me, once you get a cup from the stuff I brew, this would taste like hot water to you," he continues.
Taking another sip you then replied, "Well maybe one day you'll brew me one."
"Already did," he spoke, before performing some sort of magic as he suddenly held a newly brewed cup of tea. He proceeded to hand you the cup, encouraging you to take a sip.
A bit surprised by what he did, you were a bit speechless. But deciding to trust him though, you took a sip from this mysterious liquid. Inspecting the taste, it truly was great. It tasted impeccable when compared to the tea you ordered. After a while, Bill had a bit of a smug look on his face. You chuckled, nodding back at him, "Alright, alright, I got your point. Your tea tasted very delicious."
"But if you could have done that all this time. Why did you ask me to buy you tea?" you proceeded to ask.
"Eh, well I needed to scope around wether or not other shops here had good tea," he simply replied, making you think further because that's not exactly a good excuse. But considering it's what he asked for, you soon just accepted his explanation.
Still though you were curious as to how he made the cup of tea to appear...
...
After some time, you both soon finished your drinks and ate a little at the shop. Although you did your best to try and get to know how his powers work, and what his powers even are, he didn't exactly pry open, but he did hint on maybe showing you some other time. Afterwards though, after an exchange of a few stories about interesting things that happened at work, Bill decided to walk you to the bus station.Â
When asked why, he explained the pathway there led to his house as well so it's not much of a hassle. And now as it seemed, before you could even set foot outside, it started raining and you forgot your umbrella.
Coincidentally, Bill has one to share.
So as the twinkling stars above you shone, you both walked outside together in comfort. Bill held one umbrella on one hand, while he held your left shoulder with his other hand. The umbrella was quite a bit small to fit two people, despite Bill being small and triangle shaped. And so both of you had to compensate on room by holding the others shoulder.
Well truth be told, you could have held him with one of your arms, and used the other to hold the umbrella. However, since he seemed opposed with the idea of being held, you both just agreed to walk like this until you reached the station.
Due to the close proximity you couldn't help but blush a little. With both of your inner arms around each other's shoulder. It was hard not to take this at least a little bit sentimentally. You do hope he doesn't notice your heart pounding a bit faster than usual...
The walk to the station continues on though as the rain quickly drops from above. Walking you soon realized how much heat he radiated as you notice how you oddly didn't even feel cold despite the fact that you only wore a thin sweater. Considering that he also seemed to glow brightly, you didn't need a flashlight to light the way as he once more acted as your guide.
Soon you both reached the station just in time to reach the bus arriving shortly afterwards.
Fixing yourselves from the walk to the station, you smiled back at Bill, "Thanks for today by the way."
"Eh it's nothing, thanks for the tea though," he replied back smiling back as well.
The bus soon arrives, and so you wave back to him saying goodbye for now. He waves back as well with a cute expression on his face. Before you could leave though, he spoke one last time, "Don't forget to call if you need another tour."
You chuckled before responding, "I will!"
Bidding him goodbye once more, your unplanned meeting with him ended as the bus departed.
Arriving home, you couldn't help but smile to yourself. Your heart pounced greatly as you thought back to all that happened today. It was quite unexpected but you were very much glad to have met Bill today. You'll most definitely meet him again the next time you go there.Â
Bonus:
It was a slow morning that day. The breeze was a bit stronger than usual. Bill sat idly on his seat by the counter as he waited for another costumer to come by.
He sometimes wondered what happened to you since after the day he gave you his number you never appeared afterwards. You didn't message nor call him either so he was a bit curious as to what happened.
Then as it seemed, you suddenly appeared... Running across the street. He was surprised yet intrigued. Focusing on you, he quickly saw your expression to be sharp and alarmed. Either someone was chasing you, or you truly were in a rush this early in the morning.
Well whatever the case was, at least he now knew you were simply busy.
