     Roman stood behind the counter. Red sweater with a yellow crown, black jeans, round glasses and a nametag saying 'Roman S' on it. He seemed to always have a bright and cheery attitude, but his regular customer seemed the opposite. Always glum and quiet.
     Roman had always remembered his order, since it was simple, and he was in every morning. Not to mention, everytime he walked in, he caught his attention.
     Roman began preparing his coffee. He finished and wrote 'Virgil' on the front. "Have an astonishing day, Virgil!" He waved as Virgil left the café.
    
     The bells rang indicating someone has walked through the doors, but it wasn't who Roman was hoping to see.
     "Hey Remy!" Roman smiled at his friend.
     "Hey girl!" Remy smiled. The bells rang again and it was Virgil, but Roman had already beeb doing Remy's drink, meaning his co-worker, Patton, would have to take his order.
     "Hi! What would you like?" Patton asked, smiling brightly.
     "J-Just coffee... with vanilla c-creamer." Virgil stammered.
     Patton turned and began making Virgil's drink, being cheery as usual. He finished right as Roman finished writing Remy's name.
     "Uhm, Patton! I'll take it from here." Roman smiled. He took the drink from Patton and grabbed a sharpie. He wrote, 'Virgil. You are looking beautiful today :)'
     Roman handed the drink to him and Virgil read what he wrote. And for the first time, he witnessed the most perfect thing ever. Virgil smiled.

     The rest of the week went by quickly with Roman writing down more compliments towards Virgil.
     The anxious boy walked through the doors with a smile. Which made Roman smile wider than before.
     "Hello." Roman greeted.
     "What's up, Prince Charming?" Virgil asked.
     Roman was in shock, which wasn't very visible. He hadn't heard Virgil talk without a stutter. He began making him his drink.
     'Virgil.' Was all he wrote. He paused for a moment then wrote down ten digits.
     "I will do that." Virgil said, reading the number.
     "I'll be waiting." Roman smiled and shook his phone in the air. He watched as Virgil walked out of the café.
     "Hey girl!" Remy smiled walking into the café and towards Roman. "Who was that? I see him a lot, but today seemed different."
     "That's Virgil. He's a regular customer." Roman had been friends with Remy for awhile, but has never seen him with his sunglasses off.
     "Well, I say... you should totally date him!" Remy said.
     "Really?" Roman asked.
     "Girl, please! I saw the way you were lookin at him!" Remy gossiped.

    
Unknown Number: whats up princey?

Roman: Hello there Virgil!

Virgil: sorry i cant make it today, my friend is staying over and he said he doesnt want to go to a cafe to see me flirt with the worker

Roman: Haha, it's quite alright. I don't blame your friend. I wouldn't want to see my friend flirting with a cafe worker either.

Virgil: haha, yeah..

Roman: Oh, so you were flirting with me? ;)

Virgil: well.... maybe?

Roman: I see how it is. ;))

Virgil: im scared, what are you planning

Roman: You'll see. Be sure to be here tomorrow!

     Virgil set his phone down.
     "Were you just texting the café worker?" Logan asked, raising a brow at Virgil.
     "Yeah." He admitted.
     "You barely know him. Don't get attatched. I'm warning you, Virgil." Logan looked back down at his book.
     "Let's do something. Go somewhere." An idea popped up in Virgil's mind. "Let's go to a gay bar tonight!" He looked at Logan and smiled widely.
     He looked up at him quickly. "That is the worst idea I have ever heard." He said.
     "C'mon, don't be boring." Virgil raised his brows.
     Logan pondered for a moment. "Fine. What time?"
     "Yes! How about ten?"
