Kole tensed a little when the female alpha wandered close by. He always seemed to be uncomfortable around the alpha workers, but relaxed whenever it was a beta or the lone omega that worked here. Thankfully, she seemed to not really need something right there and wandered back away a little distance, letting the raven haired male relax a little. When the sugar was held out, the techy male reached out to accept it, only to blush when the barista corrected himself. If he hadn't bothered with the correction, Kole wouldn't have caught the slip up, where he was called sugar instead of the sugar being properly referred to.<br/><br/>"Um, it's fine," he managed to get out without stuttering, then accepted the little container from the beta, jolting just a little as his fingers brushed against the other male's hand in the transaction. "It's really fine, I... I promise," he mumbled, the non-stuttering streak broken as he tried to assure the worker that he really didn't mind having to come and get the sweet additive. There were definitely worse things that could happen, such as having an alpha deciding to impose on him while he was trying to work, for example. Thankfully, that hasn't happened at this particular coffee shop, as it seemed like the staff were more attentive to the customers than the previous ones that he used to frequent. It was one reason that this place became his regular location.<br/><br/>"Thank you... Morgan?" he offered a slight bow of his head, then turned away to head back to his table. It was clear that he hadn't checked the name tag to make sure he had the right name, which either meant he had and idea of all of the regular employees, or this cute beta was within his little circle of acknowledgment. It was rather hard to tell with such quiet individuals, honestly. When he got back to his table, he poured the sugar into his mug, mixed it up, then set the container aside. His hands went to the keyboard, ready to unlock the computer, only for blue eyes to lift and look at the barista once more. A slight tick of the corners of the omega's lips was given, then he turned back to his work and returned to working on the emails he had been sorting through.<br/><br/>When he finished off the first cup, he got up and walked to the line, again, this time to wait as more people placed their orders. He fidgeted, since he normally just stayed in his seat until someone brought a refill upon noticing that his drink was empty. They knew he was good for paying for them, so he typically didn't need to make a fuss. The man in front of him was an alpha, which made Kole's skin crawl. He wanted to change his mind and head back to his seat, to forget about requesting something new, but... He glanced at the employees and hoped that he got to talk with the beta again. When he got to the front of the line, a light coating of pink crept onto his cheeks.<br/><br/>"Um, hi again... You get off soon, right? C-could I get an order of whatever your specialty is?" he had been wanting to try something different, anyway, and... He had thought that the earlier mistake was cute. Honestly, he hadn't ever been called a pet name like sugar, sweetheart, honey, or anything before. Not even by accident. It had been cute, though he doubted that he'd get to hear something like that again. At least he could request something different and special, right?
