♈Coffee shop♈

(Tabi x reader)

You and your friend were currently sitting in the local cafe as you both normally did every friday. This was mainly a chance for you two to catch up and what's happened in the weeks before such as gossip or... no it was literally just gossip. Your friend always seemed to have some kind of tea, and you just listened to her vent and went off about the week. Normally it was always around the same group of people that came into the cafe every friday. Of course, their were a few who came randomly and some who only came once, but you would say you were pretty familiar with most of the people who entered the shop. Today was different. Yes, you and your friend Carol were hanging out together, but their was someone new. You knew who he was, but never thought you'd ever have to see him in the local cafe... or ever again for that matter. "Hey Y/N, are you ok?" You heard Carol snap you out of your thoughts. "Hm? Oh, yea. I guess I'm just a little bit more tired today." You made up an excuse to take any suspicion off of you. You see, her boyfriend, Whitty and the one who was in the cafe with you guys were enemies. Therefore, Carol and him didn't get along well at all. She feared him. Yet, you were positive she knew he was in their. Guess she just wants to stay here anyway. After all, their was nowhere else to go really. "Are you alright, I have a good feeling that it's not just you being tired. Is it... him?" She asked, gesturing to the skeleton goat head at the table a few tables away. "Of course its not him. What do you think?" You responded, sarcastically. She rolled her eyes and chuckled. The truth is, you've had a crush on him since high school. Now, he did kinda bully you, but he was just so...you weren't exactly sure what you saw in him, but whenever you were even in a situation where he was around, your stomach would start to twist and your ears would turn all red. It was embarrassing. At first you thought it might have been a weird way your body showed that you were scared, but that was until you started thinking about him constantly and daydreaming about him not being a jerk and you two being together, That's right, you were the ultimate simp. Lol, jk. Like I said, you weren't sure, but you liked him. "Of course, why would he come here today of all days? We can leave if you're scared." She explained. "No, just, you know... weird. He blew up that restaurant the other day after all. You get me, right?" It was incredibly noticeable how nervous you were. "Heh, yea. Forgot he was your childhood crush. My bad. What do you see in that anyway? He's so blah and rude and you're like the complete opposite." she asked, sipping her tea. "We've gone over this. I'm an idiot, that's why." You complained, burying your face in your hands. "Aw, you're not an idiot, you're just a giant simp. If you really wanna at least befriend him, you've gotta go talk to him." She explained. "Ha, no. I'll get over it eventually. I'll just... start watching more anime to distract me from reality." She sighed and shook her head. "Yea, just make yourself feel lonelier, that'll do the trick." you rolled your eyes and stood up. "Yup, and I think I'll start doing that now actually. Text you later bestie." You said, walking off. "Bye bestie!" She shouted after you as you walked out of the door. You felt yourself almost trip as you left, but luckily you caught yourself with your foot. You could hear Carol begin to laugh at you, but you just continued walking out of embarrassment. You could tell the sun was going down and usually that's when more murders and stuff are more active. You pulled up your hoodie in fear and continued walking at a faster pace. That was until you heard someone say something that stopped you in your tracks. It was a simple, "Stop." But you weren't about to disobey whoever this was. You wanted to live. "Don't turn around and get on your knees." They started again. You did as told and got on your knees, slowly raising your hands in defence. You heard footsteps then walking toward you. "Good, now stay like that and don't make a sound if you wanna live." You nodded and closed your address in fear, a tear sleeping down your face. You felt him start patting your pockets and removing whatever you had, stuff it in his pockets. You didn't have much. Just your wallet, your earbuds, and... your phone was missing. You I've he didn't take it already because you would've felt it. You sighed knowing you must've left it with Carol or it was just at the cafe somewhere. After he was done patting you down, he kicked your rib, knocking you completely down. You grunt in pain, clutching your ribs. "Did I say make noise?!" He shouted at you, kicking you in the face. He kicked partly your eye and partly your nose. Your nose was bleeding and you were pretty sure you had a black eye, but you made sure to keep quiet this time. "That's what I thought. Tell anyone about this and you're dead."he said, walking off. You stayed curled up on the ground. You thought you could hear a siren in the distance and some faint shouting, but remained clutching your stomach in pain. Then you heard a pair of footsteps nearing you. "Alright, get up idiot." You heard a Russian accent tell you. 'oh no' you thought to yourself, opening your eyes. Sure enough, their he was looking down on you like you were his servant. "T-Tabi? W-what-" "Yea, I'm not doing this right now. At least sit up." He explained, interrupting you. You groaned and used what energy and strength you had left to sit yourself up. You hissed in pain, but you made it. He removed your hand from your face, examining the damage that was done to your face. Your stomach began to twist more as he turned your head with his smooth skeleton hand. You kinda enjoyed this. "Alright, it doesn't look like he broke your nose, it's just bleeding a little bit. And your eye is just a little bruised. You should be fine to go home on your own." He said, standing up. He holds a hand out to help you get up. You take it and pull yourself to your feet, only to remember that your ribs would barely even allow you to up, much less, stand. You clutched your chest as soon as you got onto your feet. He threw your arm around his shoulder before you fell, giving you a little support to lean on. "Ow." You mumbled, tears in your eyes. Tabi sighed and picked you up, holding you bridal style.. "Wha-" "Shut up. I'm taking you to my house for now. Got it?" He says, interrupting you again. "B-but why? I thought you hated me." "No, I hate everyone, just since bye then others. You're not one of them." He explained. You slightly smiled before dozing off. He noticed and chucked a little. "Ugh, why did I fall for them?" He sarcastically said, continuing walking to his house. When you woke up, you had bandages on your chest and a band aid on your nose. Your eye felt like there was an eye patch on it, you couldn't see out of it. "Well, good morning, sunshine." you heard Tabi say walking into the room you were in. "Where am I?"You asked, rubbing your good eye. "My house, I patched you up last night after you got robbed or whatever. You must've been out like a light, but even rubbing alcohol woke up."he chucked. "Why did you help me?" "Not sure, kinda like you for some reason. Always have, just have a weird way of showing it, I guess." He said, handing you an Ice pack. "Wait really?" "Yea, don't get all sappy with me though. You've gotta be here all day. I really don't wanna deal with a sappy... you all day." You chuckled. Somehow you felt safer around him now, it felt like you two have been friends forever. It felt like you could tell him anything. It felt nice actually being with Tabi. Yes, it would be a minute till you two could date or anything of you do (which you definitely will 😉), but you enjoyed at least knowing him and being able to talk to him. Plus, you didn't "need" to stay with him, he just said that because he wanted to stay with you. "Anyway, fyi. You dropped your phone when you tripped at the cafe so I picked it up and thats here. Next time, chack that you have your phone when you trip. Also the police got your stuff back from that one dude too so alll thats also here." You smiled as you watched him walk away from you out of embarrassment. Yup, that was what you loved, and you wouldn't want it any other way. 

(Did I decide to stay up till 12:30 on a school night just to complete some dumb oneshot? Yes, yes I did. But for real, how cool would it be if this story hit 5k reads before my B-day [Sept 27] like😲but anyway, I hope you enjoyed this piece of crap I wrote. Like I said, I have school in 6 hours so I hope y'all are happy with this. Stay safe everyone)
