Been a while since I drew these lovers
“it was bound to happen anyway”
second ending:
Ccino barely was able to stand up on his own-
He was so tired, but his job was way more bearable with the appearance of nightmare on set. He couldn’t help but admire the actor; he watched all the movies he was included in, and he was a fan of them all! And he wouldn’t really admit it, but he had a crush on two actors in some movies. He was head over heels for nightmare, and he maybe had a little something for killer as well, but I mean, he just thought he looked attractive. Nothing more, nothing less, right?
“Um- ccino?”
Ccino almost jumped away at killer who just got behind him-
“Oh sorry- just here to ask if you could make some more coffee? Nightmare spilled his all over my clothes- “
His pants and shirt were covered in the dark liquid, but his jacket was the most splattered out of it all. The director was going to tear his skin off- not that he had any to begin with.
Ccino quickly came back to his senses and answered “of course! I-I’ll get going” killer paused and smiled; the other was probably daydreaming before- his face was priceless, maybe he’ll get it recorded for nightmare to see another time.
His grin slowly turned into a saddened look when he left to his dressing room. He did notice how tired ccino was over time, and college must’ve been way too much for him to handle with his shifts. He looked away, not that he could really help the poor guy anyways.
Nightmare didn’t know what to think about killer, but their relationship wasn’t more than friendly, unless you counted flirting as something more than that. Killer’s shenanigans were always a pain to bear, but he did notice another monster who looked at him pretty weirdly; he didn’t really mind, he was used to it by now.
Ccino didn’t know if it was worth asking nightmare out, not when the other didn’t even seem to pay attention to him-
He hid his face with his hands, when he stumbled at killer who was walking downstairs. He tried to stop the other from falling, but sadly ended up falling with him instead- killer barely was able to stop them from going through another pair of stairs when he heard a scream. He quickly looked at ccino who was trying his best not to whimper, holding his left leg tightly.
Killer quickly got up, and tried to hold him up to walk him off to help. Ccino didn’t really understand what was going on, so he muttered- “w-what’s going on? Who are you-“killer held the other by the waist, noticing that the other would clearly not be able to walk with his leg- “I’m sorry, it looks like you fell pretty badly didn’t you? It’s okay, it’s me- killer”
Ccino just realized that the other was basically carrying him around like a princess, and his face suddenly lit up with a blush- “ah- I- I-“he quickly hid his face in shame and whispered “I’m so sorry”.
Killer looked at him and grinned tenderly “hey, don’t worry about it-“ ccino pulled his hands away from his face, and avoided the other’s eyes, his cheeks covered with a deep hue;
what in the world was happening to him?!
Killer managed to get to sci and asked if he could help. The other examined ccino’s legs and told killer to wait out of his office for a while.
Killer sat next to the door, anxiously waiting for the other’s results- ccino looked quite in pain, so he probably got badly injured!
Killer crossed his arms; there was no way he could take care of that injury by himself- He barely even cared about his own sleeping schedule! What if he didn’t have enough money to pay for his medical care? He was already running low on money- if he ever had to pay for something, he’d ask sci to put it on his bill instead.
Nightmare noticed the other’s anxious expression, so he sat next to him, and asked “what’s wrong?”
Killer looked at him, it was stupid- he was stupid. Just how long did he try to hide his crush on the intern? It was useless to even do so anymore, because he will finally get a hold of himself and properly ask ccino out!
He looked away from nightmare, then whispered- “it’s just that- the intern and I fell down the stairs, and I think he broke his leg. I- I don’t think the other can pay for the healing night-“
Nightmare could read the worry on killer’s face. He looked away, maybe he did have a crush on killer, but he was glad the other told him about the intern, even if it wasn’t done directly, he could see that he did like him a lot
He sighed, maybe he could help them both?
“I’ve heard that he works in a nearby coffee shop too- the guy clearly doesn’t have time for himself-“nightmare was talking, but even he felt bad for the poor intern. If he had to work so many jobs to take care of himself, a broken leg would be quite devastating.
Killer paused. He didn’t quite understand what nightmare wanted him to do with that information; should he go to the coffee and keep him company? Should he advertise it? No, better than that, he was going to do all of that, but he was also going to help him directly!
Killer smiled, then got up- “well, we have some acting to do a bit later do we? Can’t be sitting here when the director clearly awaits us!”
Nightmare wanted to object- wasn’t he waiting for the intern’s results? But the other just grabbed him by the hand and dragged him to the set anyways.
Just what is going through his head?!
…..
Ccino got out of sci’s room, barely able to hold back tears. How stupid and how dumb can he get?! Sci lend him two crutches so that he can walk, but he clearly needed more than that-
He sat on a chair, defeated. He couldn’t work for a very long amount of time, and he knew what that meant.
His cats, his poor little babies- did he really need to give them away?
Or can he just not pay for clothes? For food?
He shook his head- no, that wasn’t possible, he couldn’t do any of those, but he desperately needed money- what could he do? Just, what did he do to ruin his living?!
He sobbed in the empty spare room, he couldn’t hold back his tears. He couldn’t even serve nightmare’s daily coffee- he cried so hard that he didn’t even hear killer entering the room. Ccino was obviously oblivious to his surrounding, so he immediately flinched when he heard killer’s voice.
“…ccino?”
Ccino stopped crying- why was killer here? Did he search for him?
“Is your leg okay?”
Ccino paused, his face was full of tears, but he managed to smile-
“It’s… not really the best state it had been into-“
Laughing it out turned to be the bad decision, since killer’s face got even more serious. Ccino gulped- he really managed to make this worse
“…I’m- sorry killer” ccino finally looked down, his “happy façade” falling down with him at the same time. “I- it’s my fault if it happened in the first place! I- I don’t think I-“ he looked at killer’s face for a brief moment, and quickly regretted it- the other’s expression got even more painful to look at- though the genuine look of concern was shining through his empty sockets even brighter.
“…I don’t think I can work here anymore-“
He tried not to look at killer directly into his eyes, but it just wasn’t possible when the other took his hands and kneeled down to his level to say “wait- ccino are you being serious?”
Ccino looked at him, then broke down in tears- “l-look at me killer! I can’t even earn enough money to have a good amount of sleep and just flipping rest! I just want to sleep- I don’t want to go to school anymore- I- I-“
Ccino’s face was covered in tears- he didn’t want to be a bother to anyone- he didn’t want to let his problems get in the way of his relationships, but he just wasn’t going to keep it bottled up for so long! Just…why did it have to be killer?! He really didn’t deserve to get complains from the one who was dumb enough to fall down the stairs in the first place-
“…I’m sorry-“
Ccino looked up- the other pulled him into a hug and he didn’t even notice- “killer? I-it’s not your fault- you- you shouldn’t blame yourself!”
“-I didn’t act up before-“killer’s embrace got tighter. Ccino was really glad the other couldn’t see his expression, because he honestly didn’t know how to react. He would’ve never guessed that killer out of every one noticed him from the very beginning, let alone even care or feel guilty about any of what is happening to him.
Killer paused for a while, then slowly let go of the hug to face ccino, a faint smile covering his old pain inducing expression. “I know I can’t do much but, I want to help you. Soo-“he avoided the other’s gaze and finished off
“I want to work with you at the coffee shop”
Ccino almost choke at killer’s words. He was absolutely baffled; killer, working with him. WITH HIM. TO HELP HIM. If he wasn’t with killer right now, he would’ve probably fainted in surprise-
“w-WhAt-“ccino was so chocked he was barely staying with him, but he still managed to let out “y-you don’t have to do anything for me! I can take care of it somehow- you already have so much work already- I don’t need your pity”
Ccino was pretty surprised at how rude that sounded like, but he didn’t have time to add anything that killer immediately chuckled-
“w-what? I just want to work with you to help you out with your broken leg. You can’t really work with these conditions, and I know for a fact YOU already have so much work. Plus- I want to work there, you can’t really do a thing to stop me now do you?”
The last sentence was flirtier than intended, but ccino was just too confused to even get anything at that point. To be fair, he wouldn’t have got it anyway.
“…why?” ccino didn’t even notice that tears started rolling down his cheeks again. His mind was seriously considering the option of shutting down, but killer just held him up slowly and helped him walk out of the room
“well, I like your coffee, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to replace you here. Just imagine if it wasn’t our preferred softie who held the stand!” his grin got wider, and ccino waited a moment before laughing out openly. Killer was pretty good at lifting people’s mood up.
*********
“Ccino! I need your help-“
Ccino sighed. Killer was good at serving people, and garnered a pretty good reputation for it, people often enjoying the discussions with him, which was understandable on its own, but he was kind of bad at making coffee.
Ccino was often the one in charge of doing it in the end since it didn’t really involve moving, and he was glad that killer was around to help him sometimes, but the rare times when ccino was having a break, killer was pretty saddened to ask him for help, since he didn’t want to bother him for it, but ccino was more than happy to give him advice, and in the meantime, he’d often talk about acting and his old films and shows.
Ccino was always exited to hear about his stories, more than what he wanted to show, and that was very endearing to killer. He was getting very attached to the little barista and he was ashamed to admit it.
But he wanted to admit it.
That’s why he wasn’t okay with the scene that was going to occur in the series.
He knew ccino was going to be there
And he couldn’t do it.
Killer rushed to his director’s office and started to argue for a very long while
He couldn’t do that
He was not going to do that in front of ccino-
And nightmare had to painfully hear that when he passed by the corridor. He paused for a while; ccino, it was because of ccino right? He couldn’t help but smile, deep down, he didn’t want to ruin their chances either. Killer cares so much about the guy that he was actually glad ccino had someone like him, he even felt envious. Nightmare sighed, then continued walking.
He sadly didn’t notice that he left the script on the table, but someone else did notice that.
Ccino’s reaction was…unexpected. He didn’t want to believe it, but what surprised him is that he was more jealous of nightmare than killer. He didn’t realize he wanted to be with killer instead, but these thoughts made his reaction softer; the tears rolling down his cheeks were slowly being wiped off with his left sleeve.
Killer was getting so dear to him that it was hard for ccino to ever imagine him with someone else. All of the times they had together only made it harder to accept that, but he still managed to smile;
killer might a famous actor who has a million of fans who put him on a pedestal and who would kill to be with him, but he still chose to do anything to help him with his work. He stayed by his side patiently and chose to accompany and help him with his own free will.
So he still had a glimpse of hope now that he realized that he actually fell for killer
******
“There were so many clients todaaay-“killer yawned at ccino. Now that he was working both at the studio each Wednesday and Sunday and the coffee chop each evening, it made him more tired than the usual. Not that he regretted doing so; ccino was a pretty sweet and nice person, but he often denied or refused to ask for help. It was kind of hard to even convince him to sit down and recover.
“Pff yeah- not my record though! You still haven’t experienced the hell that is a special event! I got so many orders I was barely able to memorize them all” ccino chuckled slightly, but his smile quickly fell when he remembered what happened a week ago.
Right, the script.
He wondered, was there a little chance he liked him back?
“Um- ccino? Did you hear me?”
Killer patted his shoulder, and ccino almost yelped- “u-uh! Yeah- no” ccino laughed at killer’s reaction “really- you’ve been quite distracted this week. Are you okay?” killer’s grin turned into a concerned frown, but the other shrugged it off with a smile. “Just the exams, don’t worry!”
He was lying
But killer still tried to ask him out
Today was the last day he’ll work at the coffee
Ccino’s leg had recovered enough to be able to take his shifts alone, and while he wanted to stay with ccino, his excuse was getting invalid since “trying to help” wouldn’t really work on him anymore.
But there was his only chance to ask him out properly.
“Hey ccino-“
Ccino looked up, forcing a grin
Wow, he’d really got attached to him didn’t he?
And now there he goes
“Yeah?”
His
“Um-“
Only
“Well…”
Chance
He inhaled.
“I was wondering if we could go out next Sunday- if you don’t have anything planned of course!”
Ccino stopped walking, and looked at killer.
“…what”
It wasn’t a question, it was more of a realization.
Killer was a pretty flirty person, but he still was pretty shy when it came to being serious with someone he liked, yet he didn’t have to repeat himself twice.
“…and nightmare?” ccino’s mind was still processing what he just said. Was he asking him out, or was it just a friendly hang out? Wasn’t he…
“What about him?” killer got confused, but ccino was quick to continue; “aren’t you guys…together?”
Killer’s face was getting quite heated up, but he still answered “w-what? I-“
Ccino continued “but- wasn’t there…oh god I’m so dumb, it’s just cinema! How did i-“ccino just realized that most film had kiss scenes, yet the actors weren’t together or even in love! Ccino quickly hid his face in embarrassment, but killer chuckled at that-
“Oh you mean that scene! N-no, I asked the director to cancel it…because, uhhh- i- I like you, and-“
Ccino’s eyelights were gone, and his mouth was wide open, he-
“You like me???”
If there was any way his face could get redder, it would be
Killer paused a second, but quickly laughed out “pff- haha, well, of course! Really didn’t get any signs did you?” killer’s cheeks were bright red, but he still had his usual grin, if not a wider one.
“…” ccino was barely able to comprehend everything, and he almost fainted if it wasn’t for killer’s presence- “whoa there- you can’t even stand on your own, and you’re already planning to fall again?”
“Hahaha-“ccino’s laugh was more of an automatic response since his brain was on auto-pilot for now. “You LIKE ME??? Out of everyone, I never expected YOU would like someone like ME-“
Killer smiled at him, “but you still haven’t answered my question.” Ccino’s eyes met his, then ccino just answered “…what question?” killer wasn’t able to hold back his laugh, and ccino was just standing there, trying to remember what was his question.
“Do you want to go out sometime soon?”
Ccino paused, then jumped at killers arms “…if I’m free of my exams, I will”
Killer smiled, then hugged him back
What a nice feeling was it to be loved
Everyone in the studio was aware of their new relationship, and all were supportive of the two lovebirds.
But
“…”
He was happy for them too, but-
“…they care about each other so much-“
He smiled
“I guess it was bound to happen anyways”
