Michael didn't miss the look of surprise on his face. They were once again lined up for frozen drinks and he had pulled the copycat move.

"So you liked my drink choice yesterday I assume?" Were the first words Michael heard his favorite drink enthusiast speak to him directly.

He wasn't the best with starting conversations, but he usually didn't find it so hard to continue them. So when his crush spoke to him, he blushed a bit but replied with confidence. "Yep. So what are we getting today?"

The boy just shook his head and let out a small laugh. "Well, I guess we're getting a Double Chocolate Mocha."

"Sounds good." He said, smiling.

"I hope so, it's one I haven't tried before."

"What!? You not trying something before? I've heard you order something different every day. I'm shocked you haven't had the whole menu by now."

It took the redness flushing the boy's cheeks for Michael to realize what he just admitted to.

"That sounded creepy, I swear I don't stalk you, I just mean- I've stood behind you a lot by coincidence and just noticed."

He hid his face as the boy gave him a questioning look; his morale began dying out and embarrassment flooded through him.

The boy just laughed softly again before mumbling, "It's okay. But that's actually the plan, I guess. I wanna eventually try everything."

The awkward interaction was saved when he was handed his drink. He happily took his chocolate treat before giving Michael one last smile and walking away to find his seat.

Michael mentally facepalmed. Why was he like this?

He tried not to wallow too much in the feeling as he waited for his own order to be finished.

Although he was still embarrassed, he still snuck glances at the brunette as always and nearly sighed at the sight.

He licked his lips. Not just at the delicious looking drink in his hand, but the way the boy's lips wrapped around the straw delicately... Michael was thirsty.
