dying to know you

Another customer came into the cafe, and he greeted them as usual– until he realized who it actually was, and his heart began hammering in his chest. Coil strolled into the cafe, that typical air of cockiness about him. He wore that shit-eating grin of his when he noticed Slingshot behind the counter– and acted surprised, as if he wasn't always the one behind the counter. Slingshot straightened up and regarded him with indifference, fighting to ignore the way his heart threatened to beat straight out of his chest and jump directly into Coil's hands. “Hey, kitten,” he greeted with a smirk, “been awhile, hasn't it? I know you must have missed me so much.” Slingshot's eye twitched. Just how badly he wanted to grab him by the front of his coat and shout in his face, ‘Yes, you dumbass, I did miss you!’ Unfortunately, he had to remain calm, and he certainly couldn't just up and admit he missed the inphernal who pestered him almost every day while he tried to work. -Slingshot has a crush on somebody who he wishes he didn't. He does his best to navigate his feelings with some help.
