❛ yeah , tell me about it . ❜ lexi frowns , the feeling of wet cloth on their skin somehow worse than losing a freshly made coffee a few minutes ago . she pulls on the tank top to give her skin a chance to dry , not caring that it was a futile attempt at best . ❛ you really don't have to do that . ❜ she's about to decline , can already feel the no thank you threatening to escape when she sighs , a small smile on her face as she shrugs her shoulders . ❛ okay sure — why not . i had an iced horchata latte . you should try it one day . ❜

xavier was not normally a coffee fan, usually sticking with energy drinks if he needs a bit of a pick-me-up ( which was almost daily at this point ) but today was different. he was incredibly hungover, had barely slept & had a raging headache that he hoped a good cup of coffee would magically heal. what he didn't calculate was how packed the coffee shop would be, standing in line for what felt like forever as he waits, doom scrolling on his phone. there's movement outside the window that causes xavier to look up, watching the whole thing unfold as if it was happening in slow motion. he's quick to pull the door open for the other, a brow raised at the puddle of coffee that's already starting to stain the concrete outside. " awful way to start the day, yeah? " the male asks with a sympathetic laugh, gesturing for them to join him in the line. " what are you drinking? i'll just add it to my order, my treat. "

alexis was in the middle of regretting their decision to walk home when they run into chanel . it was clear she was mere seconds away from dropping all the books she was holding , causing an amused smile to appear on their face . the amusement only grows stronger the more she tries to explain herself but lexi reaches out , figuring she'd been struggling long enough by that point . ❛ i believe you . but here — let me take some . ❜ she grabs half of the books and slips a few into her bag , making a mental note not to forget they're in there later . if lexi notices the covers , she does , only a raised eyebrow gives it away .

for : anyone ! currently : uncapped.
📍 outside of côte & co. bookshop, mid afternoon.
" it's not what it looks like, really ! " of course, it's a sight to see nevertheless. chanel hunched over, a mountain of paperbacks up to her neck in hand with no bag as proof of purchase. it's about saving the environment though ! her hands and arms work just as well as some flimsy bag could. " i paid for all of these ... with my hard earned money. " and the generosity of a guest who'd handed a wad of euros over and told her a day prior : treat yourself to something pretty, chanel ! jokes on him though, no way he'd think she was blowing this play money on raunchy romance books with shirtless men on the cover. the same embarrassing covers that threatened to spill out of her hands with each passing moment. " you wouldn't ... um, be able to give me hand would you ? they really rushed me out of there. "

they're halfway inside the café when his voice rings out , the apology in his tone convincing them to turn around . they look over , his pleading eyes causing them to feel guilty for their unnecessary outburst . ❛ okay . ❜ she starts , making space for him to walk inside after her . ❛ and i'm sorry too . for … calling you a stupid privileged person . ❜ lexi purses her lips , forcing herself to stop talking before she somehow makes the situation worse than it already was .

‘ ❃ it happens in a second, demian genuinely doesn’t notice the person outside the café, doesn’t have the time to react on time, and suddenly there’s coffee everywhere but on him. he’s grateful for it, yet mortified for a clumsiness that he doesn’t suffer often. " i’m—i’m sorry, " he apologizes immediately, disconcerted, slight crimson tainting his cheeks at the other’s understandable irritation. it doesn’t mean he feels less embarrassed, especially when they talk about a privilege he doesn’t own before walking away, into the café. " hey ! " he tries to stop her. " let me buy you another one, at least. " it’s the least he can do, so he goes after them, tries to find their gaze with pleading eyes.

❛ like a … okay , yeah . i guess that's accurate . ❜ alexis huffs , half laughter and half a sigh as she moves to face yoonah . there's a happy smile on her face for the first time that morning , her mood already a million times better than it was five minutes ago . ❛ thank you for that . you definitely didn't have to pay for my drink but the next time we're here at the same time , i got you . ❜

walking in, her disposition is perfectly sunny - quite contrary to the person in front of her. she smiles a little as she looks up from her phone and recognizes alexis, a quite honestly not very flattering stain on their tank top. waiting for the other to order, she leans in and smiles wide at the barista. " i'll take an iced matcha latte and pay for both of us. apple pay, please. " gaze travels back to alexis, who only now seems to have seen her. " you looked like you needed a pick me up. pretty sure i heard you muttering complaints under your breath, like a grandpa. "

❛ sorry . i'm sorry , that was so rude of me . ❜ alexis glances down at her soiled shirt once more , letting out a sigh before her eyes land on the person standing in front of her . ❛ i've had this happen way too many times and it's always because of someone that's too busy to apologize or have the decency to pretend they're remorseful or … sorry . i'm rambling and you don't need to hear about my terrible luck . ❜ if lexi could glue their own mouth closed right about now — they would . she had a bad habit of saying too much when no one even asked and right now was no exception .

still, after a few months on the island, jisu has yet to find her footing. the island's so large it's almost overwhelming, sometimes getting lost when all she wants is a damn bagel. maybe it explains why she's awake this early, on the hunt for the café that she just can't remember in her muddled brain. " oh ! " jisu is surprised when her body collides with another, disappointed to see the coffee go to waste, and to hear their words. " you barely gave me the chance— " jisu crouches to pick up the cup, tossing it away into a nearby trash can before returning to her full height. " i get you're pissed about your coffee, but your words aren't necessary. "

alexis could only stare for a moment , lips parted in disbelief before she's fighting to control her laughter . ❛ i called you a beanstalk because you're tall . oh my god . ❜

❝ well , what else are best buddies for ? ❞ fake stumbling to the side at her " shove " , shi pauses , mouth open in shock . ❝ beanstalk ?! i resent that ! i hate beans and you know it ! ❞

❛ are you saying our newfound friendship is purely transactional ? ❜ kiha lifts an eyebrow , biting back the amused grin that's fighting its way onto his face . he's quiet for a moment , just long enough to make things dramatic before shrugging his shoulders . ❛ you're not completely wrong though . i like learning what's happening on the island through you — you make things sound more entertaining than they probably are . ❜ kiha takes a sip of his own coffee , sweeter than ansel's but with more espresso shots than should be legally allowed for one person . ❛ now that will get me out of the house everyday so you don't have to worry about ‘ take-backsies ’ with me . ❜

mouthing a thank you with a quick flash of teeth, he takes the coffee and sips slow, savoring it long enough to hear the way kiha says fond—a word that nearly makes ansel snort into the cup. no one’s ever said it with that much suffering before. “you only are 'cause i tell you stuff. if i stopped giving you invaluable intel, you'd be asleep in five, am i right or am i right?” he teases, glancing at kiha over the rim. “still, i’m honored you’re losing sleep over me. for the record, i’m absolutely dragging you out for mid-day coffee more often. we’re making it a thing. no take-backsies.”

what song plays in their head when they strut into a party? (for alexis)

it's between 6 inch by beyonce , water by tyla , and ( more recenty ) whenever by megan thee stallion and you'll know which song she's hearing just from the look on her face .

what does their bank account say about them? ( for alexis )

lexi's bank account says she has a very hard time saying no to her brothers . it says she's financially responsible and although she splurges at times ( especially on gifts for other people and concert tickets ) , it's clear there's a budget in place . it says she loves coffee and that a chocolate croissant hates to see her coming . and most importantly , it says they just paid off all their student loans so they will be at as many concerts as possible until it's time for her to go back to her residency .

what are they known for around azure? what could be their ‘title’ or nickname? ( for kiha )

kiha doesn't figure he's known for anything . he's still relatively new around the island and aside from the occasional trip to côte & co. bookshop or le jardin café — he prefers to be at home . becoming known for one reason or another isn't even on his agenda , in fact , he'd much rather go unnoticed .

to kiha — what’s their signature item? how did it become their signature thing?

his signature item is a gold saint laurent chain bracelet . it was a birthday gift from his mother a few years ago and while his first instinct was to throw it away or give it to a friend — kiha eventually decided ( read : agonized over it for two weeks ) to just put it on . now , the only time he's not wearing it is during a photoshoot or on a runway . what kiha won't tell anyone is that for the first year he wore it , he had hoped he and his mother would finally sit down and talk to each other . it never happened .

when: early morning ! location: le jardin café . open to: anyone , uncapped .

❛ man … learn how to say excuse me ! ❜ alexis sucks her teeth , eyes falling onto their now ruined tank top and the spilled iced macchiato at their feet . ❛ stupid privileged people and their disregard for literally everyone around them . ❜ she shakes her head and checks the time , calculating how late she'll be to work if she orders another drink before going to change . it takes lexi all of a second to decide coffee is more important than punctuality before they're heading back into the cafe , mild anger already forgotten .

❛ of course , i should've known that . ❜ his eyes are filled with amusement as he turns them back on benjamin , watching as the man makes his way around the room with a practiced confidence . ❛ you know this has never been my idea of a good time . ❜ kiha waves his hand around as he speaks , a look of boredom taking over his features . ❛ the night has gone on long enough already but i figured i'd rather be bored here than bored at home . after all , i wouldn't get to hear you talk about the guest of honor's sex appeal if i had stayed home . ❜

" what do you mean ? that was my point this entire time, " he says, sporting something close enough to a wolfish grin. taesung is positive the man of the hour wouldn't mind. something about him screamed that he really enjoyed the attention, and taesung had thought that prior to this night. it's a shame. maybe in another life, they'd share skincare routines and kiss a little. " you have anything better to do ? unless it does it for you, the overt flashiness. " not for him though, almost like it was too normal. he sighs, shaking his head and pondering the idea that benjamin might be a regular guy after all.

leave it to rocco to read him like a book . to understand that maybe meant more than just maybe — at least when it's kiha uttering the words .
it was unlike him to want the same person twice . it was even more unlike him to want the same person after a year of silence . his fault , he knows , but two weeks together had him in too deep for his liking and leaving was the only thing that made sense to him at the time . kiha doesn't get the chance to think about what it would've been like if he stayed , not when the same man he left is crowding his space , mouth so close he can practically taste the alcohol on the other's tongue .
the glass in hand is finally discarded , nimble fingers finding their way to rocco's suit jacket — tailored to perfection just like the rest of his clothing . kiha meets his eyes , curiosity mixed with something else clouding his own . he'd like to say he doesn't know what's gotten into him but no , he knows exactly what got into him and when . having him so close only reminded kiha of how easy it was between the two of them last year . there were no guessing games , there was no hesitation , no one had to ask what the other wanted — they just knew . and he needs that again .
it's instinct to tilt his head when the other man inches closer , the desire to let him claim so strong that every other thought he has is pushed to the back of his mind .
his fingers are dancing along rocco's belt now and the look in his eyes is heated enough to raise the temperature around them .
❛ why not both ? ❜

there it was. that flicker.
the breath that caught. the fingers around the glass tightening like they remembered everything. rocco caught it all, drank it in like a man still parched after two weeks of drowning in him. kiha could try to act indifferent all he wanted, cool, poised, dangerous in that way only someone trying not to break could be, but rocco had already seen him undone. had felt it. had tasted it. he didn’t need confirmation. but fuck, that ‘maybe’ hit harder than any checkered flag ever had.
rocco tilted his head, eyes tracing the way kiha's tongue caught the last drops of liquor, unapologetically slow in his perusal. there was something cruel about the way he smiled then, lazy, knowing, like he’d just won a game that hadn’t even been played out loud yet. “ that’s new, ” he murmured, voice like low thunder, barely audible over the music. “ you admitting anything. even wrapped in a maybe. ”
his hand slid a little closer behind kiha’s chair, still not touching, but near enough to claim space. his whole presence a lean-in, a gravity shift, the kind of proximity that made breathing feel like cheating.
rocco didn’t look away. didn’t blink. he watched kiha like a man waiting for the answer to a prayer he hadn’t meant to whisper.
“ you know, i think about that night too. ” a pause, deceptively soft. “ nights, actually. plural. ”
and then he moved. just a little, leaning in, like he was about to say something wicked again, something sharp, something cruel … but instead, he stopped right before contact, letting his breath curl against kiha’s jaw like it had every right to be there. “ tell me something, pretty, ” rocco whispered, lips just a sigh away from skin, the scent of his cologne and whiskey heat between them. “ you come here tonight just to look this good … or were you hoping i’d ruin you all over again ? ”
rocco smiled then. not cocky. wicked. because honestly ? he’d missed him. every goddamn inch. and if kiha gave him even one more ‘maybe,’ rocco was already halfway gone.
