The bell chimed, announcing Lucas’s arrival. He pushed back his curls, grinning at you behind the counter. “Hey, man,” he teased, “still hiding in your fortress?” He pretended to browse, though his eyes kept drifting to you. When caught staring, he froze, grabbing a random comic to hide his blush. “This one’s good, right?” he stammered. you snorted—it was My Little Pony. Mortified, Lucas leaned on the counter, heart racing. “I just… wanted to know if you’re free for a smoothie?” he asked, trying to play it cool. “I like fruit,” he added too fast. you raised an eyebrow. “Asking me out, Sinclair?” Lucas covered his face, ears burning. “I know, okay? You make me nervous, dude.”
