Summary
The door chimes jingled, signaling the entrance of a customer.
It was a 5 AM shift, and Ivan had literally just finished opening the shop, so needless to say, he was surprised, looking up from the register in shock for a second before clearing his throat, hiding the sleepiness in his voice.
“Hey, what can I get for you today?” Ivan said, customer service smile on full display.
“A Trenta white chocolate mocha frappuccino. Five shots of espresso.” the guy replied, sounding as sleepy as Ivan felt. He couldn’t really fault the man for his rudeness; if he had to get Starbucks this early in the morning, he’d be pretty rude too.
“Okay, let me punch that in for yo— five shots of espresso?” he repeated, bewildered.
“Did I stutter?” Mystery Customer replied, unimpressed.
Ivan finally took a good look at the customer, ready to berate him on etiquette, but upon looking Mystery Customer in the eyes, he froze.
Oh shit. He’s hot.

Summary
Till exhales; the air movement reverberates in Ivan’s phone speaker. Ivan swallows. “I just had a bad dream, is all.”
“Really? Me too,” Ivan says. “I don’t remember it well. I think there were guns.”
“Right? Why is it always being gunned down?” Till complains.
***
Two years into the divorce, Ivan is still pathetically hung up on Till. Is it ever too late to reconnect?

Summary
Till liked to claim that he was just an average 21-year-old trying to survive the horrors of tertiary education. Really, he was barely passing his classes, barely making ends meet, and barely keeping his shit together.
At least, that’s what he liked to believe. Others couldn’t say that they felt the same.
To Mizi, he was her hardworking bestfriend whose efforts never betrayed him. The way his passion, determination and dedication shone through in all that he did. Till was a hardworker that deserved every single blessing that was bound to come his way.
To Sua, Till was his girlfriend’s questionable childhood friend, one that she initially felt jealous of because of their strong bond, only to realise soon enough that it was because of Till’s heart. He was caring to the people he loved, protective and kind towards those lucky enough to be in his affections.
To Ivan, Till was everything. No words could capture just how much he meant to him.
But that was neither here nor there. What mattered was, in this universe, that’s all there was to it. There’s no catch, no cruel promises of hope.
There were no aliens, no stage where they fought to death.
There was only life and the mundanity of it.

Summary
In short-lived glances, Till swears that the look of swift grins and beaming eyes were equal to three words that constantly echoed in his mind when he thought of Ivan.
