Characters: Love (AMOLAD Webcomic), Death (AMOLAD Webcomic), Des Aeva, Leo Spindler

“And here we are!” Love giggles as she and Death teleport to Earth, landing in the middle of a busy city, unseen by the walking denizens.

“Where is ‘here’?” Death asks, moving aside as a human comes too close. Should they run into him, they won’t hear him, feel him, or see him, but they’ll feel a sudden chill. He doesn’t like having any effect on their lives, even if it is as minor as a chill. He worries the brief contact will alter their lives in unknown ways.

“Paris!” Love sings happily, turning around with arms outstretched. Death smiles as he watches her dance, overjoyed to be in a city famed the world over to be dedicated to her aspect. Some yards away he sees a couple standing together, smiling at each other before leaning their heads together, enjoying simply being together. Love blows a kiss their way, and suddenly they're holding each other tighter than before, the look in their eyes deeper, more passionate. Love sighs happily as she watches them realize their feelings for one another.

It's not the rain on the window that wakes him, but the smell of coffee drifting through the apartment. Leo used to be indifferent to coffee, regarding it merely as the gateway between him and being fully awake, but since he's been dating Des, he's grown more appreciative of good coffee. Particularly good coffee made by Des. He yawns and reaches over to grab Des’ pillow, burying his face in it. He smells Des’ shampoo, hair gel, and cologne, smiling as the scents combine into one smell that's unmistakably Des. It’s what he smells when he stands on his tiptoes to kiss Des’ neck and when he uses Des’ products after a shower. Sometimes he smells the same shampoo or hair gel on a stranger but the scent brings him right back to Des.

One Word Prompts - Coffee

Fandom: A Matter of Life and Death (Webcomic)

Relationships: Des Aeva/Leo Spindler

Characters: Des Aeva, Leo Spindler

“So first you press here to grind the beans.” Des points out the button on the grinder and identifies all his equipment, walking Leo through each step of the process before he turns him loose and lets him make his own cup of coffee.

“You grind the beans here in the shop?” The machine he’s looking at does it automatically, he realizes, but it seems like an extra step. It gets swamped in here, he’s seen it, but each customer still gets freshly-ground beans.

“Yes, we roast the beans here too.” Des smiles and nods, “It takes longer and sometimes it means we run out of coffee during rushes and people have to wait while we roast more, but then the coffee is fresher. I don’t want to sacrifice the quality of my product for convenience.” If it took too long, then there were other coffee shops people could go to. Des didn’t want to put out a cup of coffee he wouldn’t drink himself.
