grime clouds cracked windows in decayed wood. paint curling from walls was once some vibrate shade of teal. the ambiance of this quaint, rundown café was something everyone flocked to once. he imagine it in past glory, filled with patrons. steam curled off hot cups of coffee. music played, drowned out under the chatter of many people.
quiet now, no music plays. drawn faces flit in and out. no one stays. only he stays. seated by a window, the hot cup warms his hands against the chill pushing through cracked glass. through coiling steam, eyes watch each person coming through. one face he’s seen every day. he gets the same thing, hesitates before leaving. what words choke his throat when dull eyes look over his downturned face? is it ‘hello’, or ‘looks like it’ll rain’?
“sit with me.” today he calls to him, invites him over. “shall we talk?”

it's overcast today, a dreary gray. he buys a cup of tea and stares fixedly into the styrofoam cup. there are dark specks settling at the bottom, swirling with each step he takes.
the man at the window is here again, posed like a picture. tate can't help but look up and linger over white hair, wan skin. there's a question he's been meaning to ask jonah sterling, once-sickly, healed by god's hand. he hasn't yet.
jonah catches his gaze today. his fingers loosen slightly at the unexpected address, tea sloshes against the rim. "ah—okay," tate agrees after a moment's hesitation and moves to sit down. "um. hello," he smiles meekly.

a meeting of the eyes, inevitable. the passing days make the nagging question choked in his throat a louder voice in his ear. curiosity would have brought tate to him in time. his invitation speeds things along. questions burn on the tip of his own tongue.
“hello.” the styrofoam cup breathes coiled vapor from where it’s set on the table, between spindly fingers. “tate, right? i’ve seen you looking my way. would you talk with me for a while?”

jonah's eyes are not unkind, but rather warm; they remind him of looking into a crackling hearth. still, he hides his own in shame and studies the table's woodwork. the stirrings of wrongdoing jitter up his spine. "yes. if," tate begins, "i'm sorry if, it bothered you…" finishing weakly.
he tugs his tea closer, accidentally nicks a little dent into the cup's lip with a fingernail. "about what?"

so timid this boy before him is. woodgrains can’t possibly be so interesting that he dwells so long on their swirls, their subtle looping twists. jonah gives a glance to the tabletop, confirmation.
“tate. there is no need to be sorry. for so long i’ve wanted to talk with you too.” lopsided smile, lips pulled high on one side, eyelids heavy—his signature—present. “please don’t be so tense. let’s talk about anything, and everything. there’s something you’ve wanted to ask me, isn’t there?”
