Coffee and consultations

(Not my art but it's REALLY GOOD)

Nico POV

2 years 6 months and 7 days, that's how long I've been working in this shop. I'm not mad about it, but the customers here are very rude.

I work at a small tattoo shop in downtown Los Angeles. I don't have many friends, so I normally just sit in my room watching Netflix.

"Nico" I was pulled from my thoughts when Reyna, my boss snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"Sorry, what's up?" I asked

"We have another customer can you take him?"

"Sure, what's their name?"

"Will, Will Solace. Your best friend-"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know who Will is." I rolled my eyes

"Anyways, he wants a consultation today and wants the tattoo next week ok?"

I nod.

"I'm gonna let him in ok?"

"Yep," I say tapping a pen on my sketchbook.

{*•*}

After Will finally decided what tattoo he wanted he told me to meet him at a small coffee bar, I told him I would after my shift.

I made around 40 sketches of Will's tattoo before my shift was over, and then went to meet him at the cafe.

I walked to the cafe, and after I got there I ordered a venti iced mocha decaf no sugar added, and of course Will was the one working the counter.

{*•*}

After Will's shift ended and we were both off work Will came and joined me at my table in the corner that was half-covered by shadows.

"So..." Will trailed off

"So?" I questioned

"So, you're gay right?"

"Um, yes, why?"

"Well, I was just wondering how you figured it out."

"Uhhh I- I don't know. I guess it's always been with me, but then one day I just realized 'Oh hey, boys are really hot," I answered laughing

He bit his lip chuckling, "Cool."

"Why?" I wondered allowed.

"Well um, you see, I..." he mumbled the rest under his breath

"What? I couldn't hear you," I asked

"I think I might be gay!" He blurted then covered his mouth with his hands

"Oh, that's great!" I replied, "I mean if your not that's fine too but I'm glad to told me." I gave him a small smile which surprised him.

He smiled widely back at me.

"What brought this up?" I asked

"Oh..." he blushed, "Uh, never mind it doesn't matter."
