Episode -2 The second time wasn't an accident

One week later.
Raining outside.
In the same cafe, Julian walks in to the cafe, drenched.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
*shaking out his hair like a golden retriever*
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
God. I look like a wet sock.
He spotted the couch. Gues who's there again?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Oh.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Noah-the-ant-tailor.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Still knitting.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
*glanced up from his sketchbook, doesn't hide his smirk this time.*
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
I upgraded.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Now I knit lingerie for spiders.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
😳
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Damn.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Sexy.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Don't make it weird.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You said lingerie.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I'm just supporting your vision.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
You are soaked.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
You're going to ruin the holy couch.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
It's barely holding itself together anyway.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Just like me.
He flops down, way too close this time. Not the edge. Definitely not subtle.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Why are you so close?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Because it's cold.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
And forgot my dignity at home.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
That explains the sweater.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
What's on it this time? A frog?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Nope.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
It's a sad little daisy. Wanna see?
Julian tugs his sweater sleeve up to show the tiny embroidered flower near his wrist.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
You... actually pull it off.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Unfortunately.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
That sounded like a compliment.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Take it before I change my mind.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
*he grins, lean back and let out a soft sigh*
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I was hoping I'd run into you again.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Oh really?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
What gave you that hope?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
The entire tray of coffee and two pastries?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Okay fine.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I might've camped here for a week hoping you'd show up.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Stalker behaviour.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
But...oddly flattering.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I'm great at toeing the line between charming and concerning.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You're winning
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Barely.
They paused. The window beside them is foggy from the rain. It's quiet, kind of cozy.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You smelled like cinnamon today.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
That new?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
What are you, a bloodhound?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Just observent.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Also a little obsessed.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
That was fast.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Falling for a guy and you don't even know his last name?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Should I be worried it's something like...Doomlord?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
It's Lee.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Lee Doomlord.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Nice ring to it.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
You're exhausting.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
But you're still talking to me.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Which means...
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Shut up and eat your croissant.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You noticed I brought you one?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You do love me.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
One more word and I'm throwing it at your face.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Worth it.
