Synopsis: Lavi is waiting for someone to cross the street. This happens almost every day. He waits, they cross, and they probably won’t ever talk again. Well, probably…

He looked out of the window, the frost still thick upon the pane. The scent of coffee permeated the air as steam rose form the china. He cupped the mug in his hands and inhaled. The aroma of coffee was something he enjoyed even though it brought bittersweet memories; they filled his lungs so he could exhale a new future. He let out a soft moan, something he quickly covered up. Unfortunately he still felt slightly guilty for enjoying the beverage.

He closed his eyes and inhaled, allowing the bad memories to enfold him. “It has to be cool enough now,” he thought and gripped the handle of the cup. A smirk played at his lips and he nearly chuckled before he took the first sip of the bitter drink. He preferred sweeter things, although this bitterness became a comfort during the… darker months. Would he sugar coat this bitterness, too?

He rubbed his eye with his free hand and finally allowed himself to laugh. Outside, across the street, was the man he had longed to reconcile with, and yet he was sitting in a coffee shop stalking them. He wasn’t sure what he found funnier: the desperation or the utter creepiness of his situation. Either way, what he was doing was anything but the standard apology. However, his social skills were total shit and his idea of a “sorry” was to ignore that the indiscretion had ever happened; apologies didn’t exist in his world.
