Title: Coffee Break
Character: Eco, Belca
Rating: G
Modern AU.
He's almost asleep when he hears a pop and a splash of color erupts outside his window and, when he looks, there's a giant, sparkling firework. The cause of it going off is no where to be found, but Belca thinks he knows who it is anyways, so he sneaks out his window and heads to Ricolise's café. Eco's bicycle is parked outside, so he goes in and finds him singing. Evidently, he doesn't notice Belca despite the door's bell ringing and the loud click it makes when it shuts, because he literally jumps when he notices him. Belca takes a seat, orders coffee for two, and waits for Eco to finish bussing tables. He sits across from him when he is, and they drink quietly until Belca breaks it.
"Why'd you put fireworks outside my window?"
Eco stirs his coffee once, sips twice, and replies,
"You liked it when we went out the other night, right? So I thought I'd bring you some."
Belca stirs his coffee twice, sips once, and sighs.
"You didn't have to."
"I wanted to."
Belca's quiet again as he finishes his coffee. Eco never finishes his; he just lets it grow cold and pours it out when he takes the cups to the back. When he returns, Belca's lounging against a window, looking out and thinking.
"What'd Orcelito say to you?"
Eco glances up at him, then back cleaning the table they sat at. Even, circular strokes to get it shining, and he doesn't answer until it's through.
"Just that I shouldn't keep you out so late! He was really worried."
"That all?"
There's more than Eco's willing to let on, and Belca knows it, but when he nods he doesn't press for more answers. For a split second, Belca looks embarrassed, then he shrugs and heads for the door.
"Night, Eco. Thanks for the coffee."
"You could stay here for the night."
Belca stops halfway out the door, considering, then shakes his head.
"I didn't tell anyone I was going out."
Eco shoos him out then and hangs the CLOSED sign when the door's shut. He waves out the window until Belca's turned the corner, and collapses gracefully into a seat. He doesn't notice Belca at the window until he starts banging on it; as soon as he has Eco's attention, he fogs up the glass with his breath, writes a number on it, and mouths, 'Call me.' Eco hurries to write it down and, at the end of the night, the napkin with Belca's number is carefully tucked into his notebook and he's happily asleep in the café's spare room.
