This Is The Place To Be (Ryan x Tony)

(Random picture, not anything related to the story. It looks like Error sans on the Left doesn't it?)

Ryan

I woke up with a loud groan, I smashed my alarm off and rubbed my head due to a massive headache I had for some reason. I stood up from my bed and headed towards downstairs, it was quiet due to the fact that it was 6:34AM in the morning and because nobody was in the house besides me.

I walked to the kitchen and looked through the cabinets only to find nothing but coffee. I sighed, tea was my favorite drink in the morning, Instead I made myself some coffee and went into the living room to watch some TV before I had to go to work.

I sat on the couch sipping my coffee, I started thinking about that dream I had last night. It was really odd.. Why was my friends from daycare there? Why wasn't Tony being mean like Aaron? Speaking of Aaron, WHY WAS HE SMILING AND LAUGHING?! as these thoughts roamed my head, I couldn't help but notice the news on the TV.

"Cartwheeling the New Trend?"
"Hello people of (possibly Texas, I have no idea..) car accidents have been happening all around, Ice has been forming all around the streets, trucks have tired to put salt over it, but to no use, the snow would be so bad that it just makes a layer on the street. We ask you, if you are on the streets, to be extremely careful. Thank you the people of (where ever you think they are) and have a great Christmas."

Welp, can't call Matt. Guess I'm walking.

Timeskip

As I'm getting ready to leave my house, a weird jingle starts playing outside, Jingle Bells? I started to walk into the blizzardy outside and looked at my phone. I watched some videos and by the time I finished my last video, I was at my "Job".

'Veronica's Tea and Coffee Café' was what it was called. I always despised coming here, I started to work here when I found out that Tori works here. Yes, she lives around here, but, i don't like her. I mean, i like her but i dont- I don't like like her but I also do.. I.. I don't know right now. Everyone in the Café said that she really liked me, but, I would hate for her to confess and me not say it back. She would be crushed. I know how it feels to be dumped or rejected. Tina, dumped me for Kip. Oh how I hate kip..

(Tina's ex boyfriends name was Kip, right?)

With one last thought, I walked in the café to be met with with energizing scent of Tea and coffee too. I walked to the back of the counter and put on my work hat because I already had my work clothes on. A purple and white striped shirt with black pants. I was absolutely not wearing purple pants to work. Its too embarrassing.

Anyway, I looked outside towards the small park that used to hold many children and couples as my mind started to wonder.

Timeskip until ryans break time because I'm lazy AF

It was my break time and someone else took my spot. I went to the back and sat down, drinking some tea. Business was busy, you'd expect that everyone would be at home avoiding the snow but nope, they're all here. I sighed and took out my phone but I couldn't help but wonder why I had that dream. It was so confusing...

As I'm deep in my thoughts trying to make sense of it, Tori walks in, "Oh, hey Ryan!" She said with a small tint on blush on her cheeks, "hey." I said coming back into reality. She sat on the seat across from me and looked down "So, uh.. Ryan?" She said in a nervous voice, "yes, tori?" Oh god, is she going to tell me she likes me? I thought as I tried to avoid the thought.

My heart was pounding and not in the good way, I didn't want to break her heart. "I have something to ask you..." She said, her blush intensing, "I-" she got cut off, "Hey Ryan, break time is up." Kimmy said to me. Kimmy was the next person in charge if out boss wasn't here. Kinda like a vice boss.

I was so glad that she came. I stood up and went to the front after finishing the rest of my tea. I sighed in relief and continued my job.

Tori

"Nice going Kimmy. I was just about to ask him!" I groaned, "I know, thats why I did." She responded to me, "it's too early you can't ask him yet." she told sternly. "Why not?" I asked, "because, its not the right time." "But, I've known Ryan for almost 3 years now! And I don't want him to be taken away from me before I even get a chance to be with him." (Hm, who is she sounding like right now? I think I know.)

"Tori, you sound like a middle schooler." (I-)
Kimmy said, "you cannot tell him because he's going through a break up right now. Do you remember kip?" Oh yeah... "That's why you can't date right now. He won't be going anywhere and he won't be dating for a while. If I know ryan correctly." Kimmy said crossing her legs and arms,

"but that's the thing, you don't know Ryan. I know when he likes someone, he's always stuttering and jumbles up his words." Kimmy looked at me, "he wasn't doing any of that. He was looking at you nervously." She said uncrossing her legs and arms and sitting normally,

"exactly! It could be a sign!" I said standing with my hands on the table, "Tori.." She tried to speak but I stopped her and said, "I'm going to try my hardest to get him, even if its the last thing I do!" I said walking out the break room and grabbing my apron. The last thing I heard Kimmy say before I left was, "Damnit Tori..."
