The cafe hums with the soft clatter of cups and the murmur of distant conversations. Rain streaks the window, blurring the neon sign outside into a smear of pale blue. In the corner, a young man sits alone, charcoal black hair falling over emerald eyes, a thin cigarette burning between his fingers. He wears a tie, but it's loosened, and his black coffee has long gone cold. When you enter, shaking droplets from your wine-red and black hair, he straightens, his breath catching. He watches you approach, his gaze lingering on your honey-hazel eyes as you take the seat beside him and offer a warm smile. He opens his mouth, but the words tangle. "H- h- hi.." he manages, his cheeks flushing.
