You sat back in your chair and took a sip from your mug of tea. It was still warm, much to your delight. Rain pattered on the café window beside you, improving the atmosphere around you. Truly, how could it be better? The early morning sky was overcast and gray, the coffee shop you were in was well within its soft morning bustle. And above all, your favorite, purple-haired man sat before you. He had an odd gleam in his eyes as he gazed at you from across the table.
“What?” you asked with a smile, picking up your bagel again for another bite.
“Just thinking,” he said in that tired voice of his.
“Of?” you drew out, genuinely curious.
He paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts, taking you in. “I can’t get over how a few months ago I wanted to learn your name and now you’re having breakfast with me in my sweater.”
You glanced down at the thick material you were swaddled in, heat climbing to your cheeks. “Aww, Toshi.”
You remembered all those months ago, when you’d come into this same café at the same time. It didn’t take long before you began to recognize him as a regular, same as yourself, always wanting the same coffee. And not much longer after that, you also took notice of him looking at you, meeting your eyes in line.
“Well,” you said, “I’m glad you asked what my name was.”
He chuckled, reaching across the table to take your hand in his. “And I’m glad it led us here.”
