Dimitri woke up groaning, it was 7 am, he didn't sleep at all last night, he couldn't stop thinking of how last night felt, how lilly looked, how she smiled, and he might've had a sip or 2 of the beer peter snuck into his car, which caused dimtri to wake up with a throbbing headache. his phone dinnged, a message showed on his lockscreen, it was from...lilly! so dimtri quickly grabbed his phone, and checking the message, "last night was amazing, thank you for coming with me dimi <3" dimtri blushed at reading it, responding with a "I had fun too, and don't mention it, we're friends after all" he hit send, putting the phone down and stretching, getting up to take a shower before work. yes it was a Saturday but he picked up an extra shift to make a bit more cash, rent is getting higher, inflation sucked. after the shower he had some toast for breakfast, and headed out to the cafe.
at the cafe, it was buzzing with all sorts of people, from kids to older folks. dimtri sighed, knowing today's shift wasn't a swift breezy one. so he clocked in, and got straight into work, dimtri didn't have enough time to go and get his hair cut, his hair was currently a grown out shaggy cut, which most of the time he put into a half bun, with his glasses on his head to push back those small strands, peter always teased him about it, but he just ignored it, rolling his eyes. "so how's prom kid?" an older man asked, he was the manger/owner of the cafe "good, pretty good actually" dimtri responded, making a latte, this time it was a nice cup of coffee, nice art too, he's gotten pretty good at this, "good, just be safe ok? you know what I mean, don't want any scares before the end of the year, and don't want a pretty girl to hate ya" the man teased, which caused dimtri to become flustred, almost dropping the cup "sir I reassure you, I'm not the kind of guy to do...those things you know?" dimtri responded shyly, "I know kid, just messin" the man chuckled, watching dimtri serving, and noticing how quiet and kind he was. before shaking his head, heading to his office.
after a long shift at the cafe, dimtri returned home, sighing, opening the fridge, seeing nothing, he just decided to not eat and head to bed.
