Luckily for Morgan, the omega was back to work on his computer. He had moved on from emails and was ordering different supplies to work on for next week. The good thing was that he usually wound up using less parts than the original sums of the final product, so he could usually whip something up with the extra parts to make a profit. And whatever he couldn't use at the end of a few projects, he could always send off to a recycling plant for a couple of quick bucks that'd probably only cover one of his drinks at this little shop.<br/><br/>Crystal eyes glanced up when he felt eyes on him again, then a smile was given as Kole lifted his hand to acknowledge the wave. It caused butterflies to flutter in his stomach and a strange sense of giddiness to wash over him, then he returned right back to work on his laptop. As usual, he was quickly engrossed in his work, once more. He was vaguely aware of when someone came over to take care of the refill, going back to the original drink he had ordered for the day.<br/><br/>When he finally wrapped up and decided to head home, the shifts had changed a few times and it was late in the afternoon. The drinks were paid for, and tips were left on the table in different sets for everyone who had served him through the day. By now, the staff were used to how he did this, and most of the people who dealt with him on the last shift knew who each tip was for and would set it aside for the intended barista to claim the next time they came in. He offered a wave to the employees, which was a little out of the normal routine, but he was feeling pretty good. Yes, he planned to come in tomorrow morning, just because he was hoping that he could, maybe, potentially, talk with that beta from this morning, again.<br/><br/>That night, after getting home and putting the laptop down in the back room, Kole took a shower and went to bed, where he wound up tossing and turning as his mind raced about what he wanted to do tomorrow. Putting together a pair of cybernetic looking wings was a hard task to handle. Making them posable, luminescent, and detachable so that it could be broken down and shipped with ease was quite the challenge that he was faced with. He had an idea of how he wanted to tackle that, but he wasn't sure how well it would work. So, his mind was fixated on trying to work it out and he wound up getting very little sleep that night. The other thought that kept cropping up and running rampant was about how the morning had already gone. How Morgan had reacted to things, and... Once more, it came back to the mistake where the beta had called him sugar. It was sweet and adorable. That man's partner must be lucky to have such an absolutely charming boyfriend, if he had a partner, that was. Or was he that way because he was single? He was probably single, come to think of it, but...<br/><br/>Kole felt his cheeks heat up as he only thought about how to try and strike up a different conversation. It was hard for him to think of anything good, because this wasn't some client behind the screen. He wasn't just some alpha personality selling all sorts of goods... He just didn't know what he should say or do in person. So, by the time morning arrived and the tired omega trudged on in to the usual coffee shop and took to the same spot he always did, it was obvious that he hadn't slept well the night before. He yawned and rubbed at his dark eyes, not realizing that he hadn't even ordered, yet.<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/>"Hey, Morgan, your favorite customer's here," Andrew, another beta, commented with a slight nudge to the young man's side. Much like Eliza, this beta liked to give the co-worker a hard time. However, unlike Eliza, Andrew didn't really think anything would come out of such a relationship. He didn't really like the idea of a beta trying to be with a different presentation, because it never worked out. Ever. Alphas and omegas needed each other to feel fulfilled. That's just how things were. Sure, betas were able to temporarily fill a void while acting in the other role, but it was nothing more than a mockery of nature to think that it could be anything more than a short-term connection. Still, even with that conception of things, Andrew liked having a reason to tease the other man.<br/><br/>He then looked over to where Kole was sitting and his lips ticked in a frown. "Why don't you go take him a drink, on the house? He looks like he could use a pick-me-up this morning... Wonder what happened..." he suggested. Normally, giving away free drinks was stupid, but they could make the occasional exception for their regular customers. And absolutely nobody could claim that Kole was not a regular.
