---------------------------------
6:30am. Finally. He was back home. The night was indeed, very long. The bar got very busy with Romanโs performance, so busy that he even missed Janusโs constant chatter. He was annoying and malicious, but Logan could not ignore the fact that he was, indeed, really cultivated. Often quoting philosophers, with interesting subjects to discuss and surprisingly knew a lot about the different types of tea and botanics in general, along with an absolute metric ton for chemistry, which kinda intrigued the barista, being a science and biology major. The melon hat man, unfortunately called it a night after only a couple hours into their discussion after giving a quick glance at his phone and claiming that he โhad to be home or the kids would be worriedโ. By that time, Roman had already left to get some beauty sleep, as he always said.ย
Logan let himself fall on the bed after putting his glasses on the table, slowly closing his eyes to finally join the dream worldโฆ
โฆ.If his alarm didnโt decide otherwise.
A tired groan left his throat as he tried to ignore the noise, until a wet scratchy thing rubbed against his nose. Apparently Plato didnโt like his breakfast being delayed, and the little kisses were just a nice way of saying โfeed me human or your soul will never see the light of dayโ.
-Okay okay you fluffy son of bitchโฆ
He always got a bit more crude when he was tired, being the type to avoid cursing, just to appear sympathetic.
After a few stretches, Logan stood up to fill up the catโs bowl before changing into his โmorning clothesโ, throwing the others in the washing machine. He tried to wake himself up a bit more by washing his pale face in cold water. A few checks here in there to make sure everything was alright, and he was on his way for a brand new day in his dear cafe.
Two cups of coffee. Two freaking cups of coffee and he still felt incredibly tired. The place was not really busy right now, fortunately enough but the extremely feline yawn he let out still managed to steal a small chuckle from the client he was serving, noticing that he was on the verge of overflowing the tea cup. A few drops fell on the wooden table and were quickly wiped out by the barista.
-Well well Auriga, looks like someone here didnโt get a full night of sleep.
Doctor Emile Picani was the name of this regular client. He was the very soft type, always complimenting everyone, generously tipping Logan and just overall being the beloved and friendly psychologist. ย
-Is it that obvious Doctor..
-I already told you ! E-m-i-l-e ! Youโve been serving me the same freaking order for four years ! I think thatโs enough for a first name basis.
-Says the one who just called me โAurigaโ.
-What can i do โbroโ ? I find your name pretty. All that aside, you should really get some rest Logan, youโre giving me more casper than human vibes. And thatโs a really big oof.
-Is this your cartoon lingo or are you trying to sound young and modern ?
-A bit of both ! How am i doing ?
-Horrible.
This took a chuckle out of the two before Logan returned behind the bar after serving a few more clients to drink start on his third cup of coffee. The moment he brought the mug to his lips, the cafeโs bell chimed, revealing a soaked man from the rain, a bit shivering under his leather jacket that he couldnโt just close -what can you do ? Fashion is just more important than comfort-. He took off his wet sunglasses to dry them off before putting them back and walked to the counter without even caring about wiping his soaked, muddy boots on the carpet planned for that, which earned him a few dirty looks from the dear Mr.Auriga. Before even being able to greet him, the newcomer slammed a plastic reusable tall cup in front of him before saying in a tired, cranky voice.
-Can you fill this venti cup with espresso ?
-..I-I, I beg your pardon.
-A venti cup. With espresso. Can you do that hun ?
That was twenty ounces of strong coffee. Logan suddenly got a concerned and kinda alarmed look on his face and shook his head.
-I donโt really, quite know how to count that-
-Sisโ...just fill the cup, I don't care about the price. Count it as three regular ones or charge me the supplement in shots.
-...Yikes. Who hurt you ?
-Life.
This made him let a quiet giggle out before taking the cup and making his drink and silently pitying his heart rate. Upon closer inspection, the โventi cupโ was from Starbucks. He could even see a name written on it with a thick glittery acrylic sharpie. โRemyโ. Once the blood pressure heightener completed, the man in sunglasses took a large sip from the straw, exhaling loudly.
-You are, literally my life savior right now sweetie, you canโt even imagine.
-Yeah, i can say that. Plus my boss is a total bitch, like he really needs a chill pill.
Accompanying those words, Remyโs phone chimed and Logan could clearly see him rolling his eyes behind his sunglasses upon seeing the contact on the screen.
-Speaking of the devil. Yeah Remy there ?...Well i'm taking my morning coffee yโknow i canโt get going without itโฆ.Duh ! i KNOW the Starโs is closed, i'm in a random cosy coffee shopโฆ.Honeeeey, pretty sure you see that rain, i ainโt going back. Move your bubble butt and come pick me up...Where am I ? Uuuh, bitch legit i donโt know, like, yโknow my sense of direction is effed up...itโs a bit outside the city aaaand, hem, thereโs a lot of blue, and the baristaโs cute...Ah and yeah itโs called โBlueโsโ, just saw it, like, right now...yeah, want me to grab ya something ?...aw donโt be cranky ya sound like an old man...sorry not sorry babe im just sayinโ the truth ! Anyway byeeee.
The โbaristaโ raised a curious eyebrow before brushing it off as Remy hung up, sighing loudly.
-Jesus, this man doesn't know when to take a breather !
-Youโre not much of a talker are ya ? Whatโs your name cutie ? โThe baristaโ sounds kinda lame.
-Ah yeah, Logan, sounds so basic but im in ! ย
What a singular strange character. The whiplash he got from just having a ten seconds conversation with him was stronger than any coffee. He wondered what kind of mentally functioning human would accept the insolence and the nature of that individual. The boss was maybe really patient or Remy was just so good at his job they couldn't give him up. His questions were answered when a tall, well dressed man with a melon hat walked in, a few minutes later, for the most remarkable trait, a giant red scar on the right side of his face. Was that a burn ? It couldnโt be anything else. He knew this man.
-Well. Hello again Logan.
-Less than iโd like to. But yes.
Looks like the snake was back.
