<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Tiger had simply accepted his partner's answer, a tad guilty for coercing him into remove his beanie. But now he could see the man's tousled hair, the dyed strands in disarray with a scruffy mutt manner. Disordered yet cute. Flapping the folds of his wallet, he produced a punch-card for Edward to dish to the cashier once he paid for his order. "Thanks buddy, you probably need the 20-ounce caffeine boost,". And if the energy latte didn't produce the desired effect, he'd perform his own means to keep Edward awake. <br/>
<br/>
After the male had given his name and order, Tiger opted for a strawberry frappuchino with a shot and gained his free serving. After several minutes of waiting, the two drinks were handed to the men, the cool plastic freezing his fingers with delight. "I guess we should head to class...although skipping doesn't seem terrible,". With a flash of teeth, he ruffled the platinum stained locks lightheartedly and replaced his palm on the curve of Edward's spine. As he directed the pair to the exit, sipping his numb-inducing coffee along the route, someone clapped a firm pause on his shoulder. <br/>
<br/>
"<i>Tiger</i>!" Briefly turning his head to see who halted his footsteps, a nervous smile wavered on his lips. Jason. One of his regulars, a Junior student who frequented his bedroom as much as the clubs on the strip at night. "Hey Jason, can't chitchat right now, going to Biochem,". A sullen pout surged on the man's features as he blatantly eyed Edward with curiosity. "Did you read my text yet?" Smooth irises had flicked onto Tiger once more, a less than subtle hint of the topic targeted in his question. He could easily presume what the message detailed. "I'll check after lunch and let you know,". Hiding his vexation, he encouraged the pair to continue to their destination with a swivel of his body and the ignorance of whatever lie on Jason's face. </span></span>
