Wrote an au snippet for The Caretaker.

---

"You're late," Akian said as he looked up from his tea. Some of his hair had fallen into it. Seres could see liquid glisten on the dark strands. He wanted to reach out, tuck them behind Akian's ear.

"Sorry," he said, slinging his back over the back of the chair before sitting down. "Traffic, you know how it is."

His fingers twitched. Akian's eyes darted towards them, but he made no comment. Seres was pathetically grateful. He'd been missing all of their meetings lately, brushing off Akian with increasingly ridiculous excuses.

He sat down, suddenly aware that there was a cup of black coffee in front of him. His order was always the easiest to remember, but something still twisted in him at the sight.

Akian picked up his cup, took a long sip. Seres wished the coffee was laced with something. He'd probably need it for this conversation.

"You've been avoiding me," Akian said, setting the cup down. "Why?"

Seres winced. It wasn't like he'd meant to. It just hurt to look at Akian's pretty face all the time.

This is lovely! I'm not familiar with The Caretaker but the characters are great here, your descriptions bringing the scene to life :)

It's okay. It's my original writing project, so I don't expect anyone to be familiar with it. lol Thanks!

Original work, lovely! I assumed it was probably an anime I wasn't familiar with! I'll look forward to more of this :)
