[kurooneko]

[Kuroo's surprised to get an actual answer, and files away the preference for later. You can never tell when knowing what drink will be welcomed will come in handy. Especially when it's a kind of precious choice.

For now he raises an eyebrow to match his crooked grin, and holds out his cup.] I wouldn't want to deny a cute barista a taste of something good.

[A bit too straightforward, perhaps, but if he's not overt then he can't imagine his message will get through. And it's not like he's showing any sign of backing away from Kuroo just yet.]

[blockingclever]

[ "I'd rather have a taste of something else" <- is probably what Kuroo would like him to say, with an eyebrow waggle and a sultry glance at the other boy's lips to top it off. Instead all Kuroo gets is Tsukishima peering at his cup suspiciously, as if he hadn't just poured the coffee into it himself a few minutes ago.

Kuroo called him cute. Tsukishima's definitely being flirted with. Not that it wasn't fairly obvious before, but now there isn't a doubt.

He wished he knew how this worked. If he takes a sip, is that supposed to indicate he wants to make out later? Not that he would exactly be averse to that--

He crosses his arms. ]

Trying to get an indirect kiss out of it? It's been a while since either of us were in high school.

[ ...It's not a no, though. ]

[kurooneko]

Sure is, but that doesn't mean we can't relive the old days, right?

[He leans against the counter, a clear sign that he isn't going anywhere without Tsukishima giving him either a clear message that he should piss off or giving Kuroo something he can work with.

He hopes that he's not disrupting his work, but again, he could say something if he was.]

Come on, you did say you like it.

[blockingclever]

[ Tsukishima looks as though he's considering taking a sip, but then his attention is diverted by the loud jangling of the cafe door opening, signalling a new customer. he abruptly pushes the proffered cup away from him and back towards Kuroo, very nearly making the liquid spill onto the other boy's shirt. ]

An hour.

...I get off work in an hour.

[ he clarifies, at Kuroo's look. ]

If you're still around then and feel like buying me a drink properly.

[ he's already looking past Kuroo at the two people approaching the counter, but the blush on his cheeks probably negates any effort he's making to sound aloof. ]

[kurooneko]

[Kuroo tries not to falter in surprise at the acceptance, but his crooked grin slips into a smile that's more classically charming.]

Okay, sure. See you in an hour.

[As he turns his back to the counter, drink in hand, and lets Tsukishima get on with his other customers, he breaks into a full grin, that doesn't entirely fade as he takes his drink to the one spare table by the window, and fishes out his phone to occupy himself until his date.

He has definitely got to text Bokuto about this.]

[blockingclever]

[ He gets through the rest of his shift in a kind of blur. He started regretting suggesting the date - because it is a date, right, there's no getting around that - almost as soon as Kuroo walked away. He thinks he sees him texting on his phone out of the corner of his eye - god, he can only imagine the gossippy messages he must be sending to his friends. "Hey, I met this sour-looking barista at a cafe and flirted with him to pass the time, can you believe he actually asked me out??"

He interacts with the cafe's customers like a machine playing back a series of tape recorded dialogue, and then his shift is over. After finishing up and clocking out, he half-expects Kuroo to have left, but he's still there, sitting at the same table. Then he considers leaving himself, sneaking out the back, but, well. It's not like he has anything better to do, and this could be a nice change of pace. Right??

He sighs as he approaches Kuroo, shifting the bag hanging from his shoulder. He's now dressed in his own clothes rather than the stuffy cafe staff uniform he was wearing earlier, but his facial expression is no less stuffy. ]

Hi. Ready to go?

[kurooneko]

Yep — I mean, yeah! Totally.

[Over-eager? Kuroo? Never.

He ducks his head a little, and runs his hand through the back of his hair, which doesn't help its sorry state. He may have received a few choice words from Kenma about making people's work harder.]

Thanks, by the way. You're pretty cool to give me a chance. So, uh... [he looks around, thinking, he should probably have considered where he's going to take Tsukishima in the time he waited. But he had to tell Bokuto just how cute Tsukki is. For an hour. He has good priorities. He offers Tsukishima a half smile.] Guessing you probably don't want to stick around here, huh? Want to go down by the river? I know a cute place.
