"Annabeth Jackson!" 

There it is again. Eridan Ampora works at a sweet little coffee shop. He gets good pay, the customers are relatively nice, and he's never bored. And there is always one girl that is a total nerd.

Y/n L/n.

"That's me!" She says sweetly. She was always putting cute ships as her coffee name. Nepeta, one of his coworkers, is actually good friends with the human, and Eridan has seen them walk out together after work. "Shes's a purretty nice girl," Nepeta always says. "Y/n is always so kind!" And he can tell. "That'll be $2.75." Eridan says. She smiles and gets the correct change, an extra fifty cents for tip. "Have a good day!" She calls and walks out the door. Eridan sighs. He can't help but love her, and she can't help but love him. Not that they know, of course. 

"hey, Nep!" Y/n says. Nepeta Leijon had tackle-pounced the human and was ready to leave the coffee shop for the day. "What ship are you planning to put next?' Nepeta purred, her eyes sparkling. "I don't quite know. Maybe some Johnlock?" They always talked of ships. "Why not a mew one?" Nepeta asks. Her eyes bright with mischief. She knew about Y/n's crush on the barista, and the barista's crush on Y/n. However, Y/n didn't know his last name. "Okay," Y/n agreed. "I'll put anything on there!" Nepeta whispered the name into Y/n's ear. She blushed a little, but nodded. "See you tomewrow!" "Bye!"

~The next day~

"Hello!" "Hi." Y/n shifted on her feet nervously. "One hot chocolate, please." "No coffee today?" Eridan teased. "Too much energy?" Y/n colored the slightest bit and nodded. "Okay, comin' up." He gave the cup for her to mark and she wrote the next ship name. He took the cup from her and began making the hot chocolate, topping it with tons of whipped cream. He placed the lid carefully on the top and thought, 'Today. Today, I wwill ask her out.' He went over to the pick up area and called, "Y/n Ampora!" 'Wwait a second,' He thought. 'That's my..' He turned bright purple and started coughing. "T-that's me." She said. "Wwhy do you have my last name?" Y/n went bright red and glared at the olive-blood by the pastries. "Nepeta told me to," She mumbled, embarrassed. "Wwell, wwould you think the ship could happen?" He asks casually. Y/n, somehow, went even brighter. "M-maybe." She said shyly. "Good. Howw about 7 tonight? I knoww a good place." Y/n smiled happily and nodded. She began to walk away, til she heard a call. "And hey," He gets out of the bar and takes her by the hand. "Call me." He kisses her one the cheek and walks off, blushing madly. Y/n blushes crazily and stands shell shocked. "So cute!' Nepeta grins. Y/n shakes her head and walks back home, already planning on what she will say with her new date.
