Coffee Beans and Villainy || Coffee Shop AU
@goddessofshadows liked this for a starter and also unwisely indulged the mun’s need for AUs
Loki pulled on the cord of his earbuds, tugging them out of his ears as he pushed the door to the coffee shop open with his other hand. He wound the cord of the headphones around his hand before stuffing them into his pocket with his phone as he stepped inside.
He didn’t want or need this job- he was almost certain that the tedium of it was going to kill him. Unfortunately it was a necessity. He’d moved to the city a few days ago for a job that this one was a cover for, leaving his ‘family’ behind in England after finishing his degree. He had left the day after his graduation, and he had only stayed that long because his mother had asked him to. She was one of the very few things about his old life that he was going to miss.
He made his way over to the empty counter, and drummed his painted nails against the surface of it before coughing pointedly. Whoever was supposed to be introducing him to his new job was likely in a back room somewhere, but given that he wasn’t a particularly patient person and didn’t particularly care about the job anyway he wasn’t about to go searching for them.
He took out his phone, and opened his emails while he waited. He was waiting for a response from his new employer, which he hoped would include specific details relating to exactly what she needed from him. All he knew so far is that she needed his help to open some doors, in some cases literally.
