Embarrassment

She looked down, an embarrassed smile flitting on her face. "It's...well, we watch stuff on TV. Eat food. Y'know, the typical stuff."

"What do you watch?"

Her embarrassment deepened. She couldn't tell him she watched a child's show, about ponies, no less. She fiddled with her hair.

"Oh, um, nothing much. Just the normal stuff."

Get it Together, Man!

Aden shook himself.
"uh, well nothing really. Just drawing I guess." He recovered quickly hoping he hadn't looked like to much of an idiot.
Did she really not catch that hint?
And people said guys were dense.
No! He didn't mean that.
Aden opened his book and started to draw again trying to get his head together.
"What do you guys do for a girls night?" He asked her.
His drawing quickly turned into her with the glow of a tv on her face. He frowned, really? Of all the things he could draw, it was that!

Oblivious

"I have work today," she said, stirring her coffee, then popping the lid back on. "And the Ranna and I are having a Girl's Night. What about you?"

She seemed completely oblivious, he thought, as she sipped her coffee.

She looked at him expectantly. His mouth was hanging open a little, like he was shocked or surprised, or something like that. Had she missed something?a

Hopeful?

Aden looked up as someone sad down in the tall stool across from him.
"Nora!" He said completely surprised. He had expected to need to go and sit with her.
"Hello." She smirked.
Aden put his pencil in his book and shut it, giving his full attention to Nora.
"I am glad I got to see you today." He said earnestly.
"Well you should be glad!" She blushed at her comment.
"Well I am. What do you have planned for today?" He asked her wishing she didn't have much.

Morning Java

"Coffee, stat!" Nora called out, walking into the shop. A steaming cup was already waiting for her. "Have I mentioned how much of miracle you are? Seriously, how do other coffeeshops do it?"

"I don't know, I guess some of my amazing-aura rubs off whenever I do good here."

"Keep it up. I've gotten too used to this. What am I going to do when you start college?"

"Come here earlier. I'll still be working. Just not at night all the time."

"Will we still have Girl Nights?"

"Will there still be air in our lungs?"

"But what if you and Warren are all...gross. And together. Like officially. And....kissing."

"We won't be. Trust me. Besides, if I couldn't take a breather for one night, I'd bore myself to tears. Now picture-boy is waiting for you. Bagel intervention in ten minutes?"

Nora checked her watch. "Yeah, that'll get me to work on time. Thanks Ranna, you're the best!"

"I know," she said smugly.

Averted Disaster

Aden walked into the coffee shop happy as a clam.
He had met his quota plus some for the antique shop, and it was still early in the week! Well earlier than his normal quota goal was made.
He suddenly wondered if pets were allowed in this coffee shop.
He looked around nervously, patting his pocket gently.
"Don't worry, I'll keep you safe."
Ranna walked up to him.
"Keep him in your pocket." She warned and set his tea on the table.
Aden sighed, so no pets, but at least Corbin would still be safe.
He got out his Notebook and pencil while he waited for Nora to show up.

Jealous? Me? No....

"If I ever act like that," Ranna said, "shoot me."

"It's not that bad," Nora countered with a lovesick smile. "It's kinda cute."

Ranna shot her a look. "Yeah. Maybe in an alternate universe. Here? It's just gross."

"You and Warren kiss," Nora pointed out. "Don't you?"

Ranna shifted uncomfortably. "Yes," she said a bit defensively.

Nora gasped. "You don't?"

"We did once!" Ranna retorted. "He just...he hasn't since...I don't know if it's me, or if it's him, or...I don't know."

"He hasn't kissed you? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Do I really look like the person to whine about all my relationship issues in public?"

"Well...no."

"Exactly."

"But you two are still together, right?"

"Well, yeah. We're just not...kissing."

"So you don't think Kagami and Yuuto are gross. You're just jealous."

"I am not jealous!" Ranna sputtered. Nora gave her a smug smirk.

"You are so jealous. It's alright. They forgive you."

Ranna sent her a fiery glare.

"Alright, leaving now. See you tomorrow. Girl's night and all. Buh-bye."
