The usual?
Who: Chris and Steven
What: Morning Caffeine
Where: Las Vegas High School
When: Present
Ratings/Warnings: Low
The morning commute from Boulder through Henderson and into work had become Chris’s decompress time - blaring his 80’s and 90’s playlist through the car’s speakers as he drove, tapping on the wheel as he sung along with the music. Depending on his morning sometimes he’d pick up a tea or latte from his favorite coffee shop in town, other times he’d make a protein shake to drink along the way but it was winter and he was feeling it, so today it would be a hot Lavender Tea Latte with some Savage Garden.
When he was waiting for his Latte he typed out a quick text to Steve, the football coach at LVHS and his best friend.
Usual ☕?”
Chris knew that Steve’s mornings were usually busy trying to wrangle a 5 year old into getting ready for school, so making a stop to pick up a caffeine fix for his friend was never an inconvenience. Though he had learned long ago that getting a reply could take some time.
He was still a few miles outside of Henderson when a computerized voice interrupted Truly, Madly, Deeply with ’Morning, sure. Black coffee, please.’. He chuckled to himself, “OK then.” a black coffee it would be.
During summer he’d usually get Steve’s iced beverage when he got his own, the condensation on the outside frozen with a simple touch that would keep it ice cold during the commute, sadly he couldn’t do the same with hot drinks and they'd get picked up in Henderson.
With his satchel bag slung over his shoulder and Steve’s coffee in his hand he walked from the staff car park, through the corridors to the faculty offices until he came across the familiar door, his knuckles rapping on the wood.
