Kaiden mustered up a small smile when he saw how excited the boy got at simply seeing his face. Sticking his hands in the pocket of his leather jacket, he twisted his hips from side to side and tapped the tip of his boots off the ground as he tried not to seem nervous. He really was though, he hadn’t been able to get the boys face out of his mind since they spent hours in the diner sharing from the whiskey bottle and he had left so drunk he forgot to even ask for his name or his number. 

So after a few days, he built up the courage to walk all the way back to seek him out, telling himself over and over again that there was nothing to be nervous about and that he was just here to get some lunch and chat.

He held the tray in his hands to his chest as the boy spoke, smiling as he went on and almost giggling at how nervous he seemed to be, finding it kind of cute. He bit his lip when he asked him about his name though, quickly coming up with an excuse for having such an unusual name.

Drumming his fingertips on the table, he stuck his lip ring between his teeth and tugged on it, nodding his head at K1′s question. His eyes trailed up and down as he studied the way he stood and acted, almost as if he was embarrassed but when he caught the smile on his face, that possibility left his head and he determined he was just a happy individual.

He tilted his head to the side a little when he watched the boy bite down on his lip ring, confused as to why so many people had pieces of metal stuck into their skin, not understanding it at all. He’d have to ask him. It did look nice on him, though.

K1 looked up from cleaning up a table when he heard the door open and the bell jingle as a boy came in, soaked from the rain and looking kind of upset. He gave him a smile and straightened up, sitting the little spray bottle down.

K1 sat the cloth down and pulled the rubber gloves off of his hands, sitting them down too before heading over to the counter where his bag was sat. He rummaged through it and found a bottle of whiskey, smiling and sitting it to the side so he could take his apron off and toss it into his bag, grabbing the bottle and taking it over to the boy, sitting it in front of him. He wouldn’t usually share with humans, but this boy wasn’t human, he knew that right away. Something was off, he was different. With humans, he could know most anything about them from the first glance. Their name, age, etc, he was programmed to be able to do that. But with this boy? Nothing.

Kaiden straightened up when the bottle was placed in front of him. making quick work of opening it up and drinking straight from the bottle, savouring the taste of the liquor as it burned his throat. Not many people could drink whiskey straight, he supposed he got that from his father. Looking up at the boy through dark, damp locks, he caught his eye and began studying him after downing almost half the bottle, wiping a small dribble of whiskey from the corner of his mouth and wincing when he tugged on his lip ring. 

He wasn’t human, that much was obvious, if the purple eyes weren’t enough, the smell wasn’t like that of a human. But it wasn’t a race he was able to pick up on straight away, and while he talked, he ran through the thoughts and memories in his mind to attempt to identify what exactly he was.

K1 realised he was staring when they both caught eyes and quickly looked away, turning back to finish cleaning up the tables, but sticking close to the boy. He forgot he couldn’t just stand so still sometimes and that he had to simulate breathing, he caught himself forgetting more and more recently. If he kept it up, someone would end up noticing. He seemed to be doing okay at acting human so far though. 

He looked over at the boy when he spoke, remembering to breathe this time whilst still cleaning.

He couldn’t help but laugh at the way he acted, it was a bit odd but it amused him nonetheless, it was almost as if the boy had forgotten how to breathe. Crossing one leg over the other, he relaxed a little and kept a hold of the bottle with one hand and rested his arm over the back of the chair.
