SHAUN TRIES FLIRTING WITH YOU
The coffee's bitter again, you thought as you walked through the hallways of your apartment. It's always bitter because the machine is broken and the sugar never comes out.
The coffee's hot too, and your fingers hurt a bit as you carried the cup and strode across to your room by the end of the hallway.
And then boom, out of nowhere came a brown-haired man. He stepped in front of you, about three feet away and you immediately stopped, flinching as you watched the coffee almost spill out of its paper cup.
"Shaun!" you gasped. Just Shaun, whom you'd met a few weeks ago when he crashed out in his room over a screwdriver and you came to check on him after you'd woken up. He was nice, and you couldn't help but form a small crush on him over the past few days.
"Hello, (name)," he greeted you, a slight smile on his face. "How are you today?"
"Oh- fine." you smiled gently, blowing on the coffee. "Just getting ready to pull an all nighter. Lots of paperwork waiting for me," you chuckled awkwardly. "You look like the type to finish them fast though."
"I do." Shaun said, nodding slightly. "I think I do," he then giggled — yes giggled — and it sounded so foreign that you got taken aback. And then he leaned forwards, in almost a curvaceous way and flipped nonexistent hair over his shoulder.
And then suddenly, you had the urge to laugh because that was certainly no other than the women's flirting trinity — all at once.
"Shaun," you said slowly, suppressing your smile. "Are you flirting with me?"
Shaun looked at the ground, a little ashamed, before nodding, his eyes flitting around. "Claire said that that is what you do when you like somebody," he says.
A grin broke out on your lips. "I think you have a lot to learn." And then leaning up on your tiptoes, you kissed him on his cheek, where a blush spread, and said, "So I'm treating you to a smoothie and a free flirting lesson tonight."
Shaun didn't completely understand why, but a fluttery feeling spread up his chest and into his mouth, urging it to spread into a small smile. "That would be nice."
