A/N: Alright, so in a weird twist of events, I do not have my personal laptop and won't have it for a little while. So until all of that gets cleared up, I'm using a different computer and I'm just going to work on whatever small little things come to mind, because this itch to write has been killing me. So here's a little story that can either stay a one-shot like I'd planned, or it can go on longer. Who knows. So enough rambling, here we go!

Perfection Is A Disease Of A Nation

"Mocha Latte for Naomi!"

Sami Zayn's been working at Kidd's Coffee for two years now, and he really cant imagine having a better job. His coworkers are easily the greatest friends he's ever known, it's close to his apartment, and, hey, he gets free coffee. Whats not to love?

He takes a look around the shop and smiles at all of his happy customers. While he sees maybe one or two new faces, he loves that he sees mostly regulars. Thats another thing he loves about this place: its always had such a family-esque feeling to it. Everybody knew everybody, and that's pretty much how it's always been. The current owner, Tyson Kidd, inherited the place from his father, who inherited it from his father. Similarly, the regulars who came in came because of their parents and grandparents. It was a really cool thing, at least in Sami's mind.

"You look awfully happy. Whats up?"

Turning to his left, Sami saw that the question had come from one of his very best friends, Alexa Bliss. Anyone who's ever known the two swears that they would be perfect for eachother. They both have extremely cheery dispositions. Always smiling, always laughing, always helping others. They both love people, and they truly do love each other.

Yep, Sami and Alexa would be perfect together. If it wasnt for the fact that Sami's gay.

"I just love working here, you know? Sometimes I look at all of these people who have been coming here their whole lives, and it's a cool feeling knowing that we get to be a part of some kind of tradition."

Alexa laughs as she cleans a bit of spilt coffee off of the counter.

"You're too adorable, Sami." She laughs. "Hey, do you know if Tyson's in today?"

Sami takes a quick moment to glance around. Though he's pretty sure it's Tyson's day off, he makes the effort to look anyways.

"I haven't seen him. Why?"

"Shoot! I really need to ask him if he knows of anyone who can cover the rest of my shift."

"Why? Whats up?"

Alexa sighs. "I need to leave early today." She looks up at the clock, biting her lip when she realizes the time. "You know how I told you that my sister is pregnant? She has an appointment today. The one where they go and look at the baby for the first time. The..."

Sami snorts, isn't this something that every girl knows about? "The ultrasound? Isn't this something that every girl should know about?"

Alexa playfully punches the redhead's arm.

"Sorry, sorry. What time are you supposed to get off today? I can cover for you."

"Oh Sami, I couldn't ask you to do that. Arent you supposed to get off, like, now?"

He shrugs, walking over to the hook that he had just hung his apron on.

"Clearly, this is so much more important. What am I gunna do when I get home? Probably go home and watch The Walking Dead."

Again, Alexa laughs. Something she's always loved about Sami is how loyal he is. Not just to her, but to pretty much anyone he meets. He's always putting others before himself, no matter the sacrifice to himself.

"I have 3 more hours of my shift. You really dont have to do this Sa-"

She can't even finish her sentence, because Sami is already untying her apron and hanging it on the hook where his previously rested.

"Go. I got this."

She grabs her purse from the employee cubby and smacks a quick kiss onto Sami's cheek. She shouts a goodbye over her shoulder and runs out the door, earning a few curious looks from the customers. Sami shakes his head as he laughs quietly to himself.

…

Sami sneaks a peek at his cell phone (because even though he knows that Tyson doesn't mind any of his employees bending the rules a bit, he feels bad about it) and checks the time. He smiles when he sees that he only has about 10 minutes left.

So my next order will probably be my last

As if on cue, a rather interesting looking man approaches the counter. The only way Sami could describe him would to say that he looked like an elf.

He, of course, would never say that out loud. It's very rude.

But he was cute. He had long hair and a very shy, yet friendly smile on his face. Sami wracks his brain, trying to remember if he's ever seen this guy before.

"Welcome to Kidd's Coffee! What can I get'cha?"

The man looks up at the menu, and that's enough to answer Sami's question. Regulars never have to look at the menu.

"Yeah, umm… Can I just have a cup of plain tea, please?"

Huh, Sami thinks. He's got an accent! Where's it from though? England? Ireland?

"Of course!" Sami tries to remain focused on the task at hand. He's always had a wandering mind, and its times like this when he hates it the most. He takes pride in his work, and wants to do it to the best of his ability. Wondering where a customer's accent is from isn't going to accomplish that.

Sami pulls out a cup and checks the box for tea. He looks up at the man and asks, "And your name?"

"Adrian."

"Alright, Adrian." He writes the name and hands it off to Sasha Banks, another co worker, and another very good friend. "We'll have that right up for you!"

The man, Adrian, pays and goes to sit at one of the tables. While Sasha is making the drink, Sami takes off his apron and sets it on the hook. All he has to do is make sure that the man, Adrian, gets his drink, and then wait for Tyler to show up to take over the register.

"Whats up, uggos?"

Well, now all Sami has to do is make sure Adrian gets his drink.

Tyler Breeze is yet another co worker that Sami has become extremely close to. He and Sasha are much like Sami and Alexa in that they are basically the same person. They are both (again, these are things that Sami would never say out loud) rather vain and judgemental, and have rather little reguard for other peoples feelings. They're very good friends to Sami, Alexa, and Tyson, but it's very hard to become their friend.

And if you're not their friend, well, you're probably best staying away from them altogether.

Tyler gives Sami a quick fist bump, then proceeds to pull Sasha into a kiss.

Oh yeah, thats another difference between the two couples. Tyler and Sasha are actually a couple.

"Sam, what are you still doing here?" Tyler asks. "If there are two guys working, how am I going to get all of the girls to look at me?"

Sasha slaps his arm, earning an obnoxious look of pain from her boyfriend.

"You're lucky you can get this girl to look at you." She says, pointing at herself. Before Tyler can reply, she hands Sami the cup of tea. "Here's that ugly guy's drink."

Sami gasps. "Sasha! Why would you see that?"

Sasha looks up at Tyler with a small smirk. "Wait till you see this guy, babe. He's a real-"

"Uggo?" Tyler shivers in disgust. "Do I even wanna see him?"

"Stop it you guys." Sami scolds. He leans over the counter absently and sets the drink down in front of him. "Plain tea for Adrian!" He calls.

When he doesn't see anyone move, he scans the coffee shop. He sees Adrian sitting at a table by a window. His back is to Sami, but he's looking to his right where the window is. It seems as if he hasn't heard his name being called. Thinking nothing of it, Sami calls his name once again. But still, nothing.

Am I not being loud enough? No, that can't be it… I'm pretty loud. Plus, the coffee shop isn't really all that loud. Maybe he's just lost in his thoughts? Yeah, he seems like the kind of guy who thinks a lot.

Deciding to dwell on it no longer, Sami decides to just deliver the drink. When he reaches the table, Adrian's back still to him, he tries to get his attention once more.

"Excuse me? Adrian? I have your tea."

But still nothing. Sami wonders if maybe he has headphones in? A glance at his neck shoots down the idea, for he sees no wires descending from his head. So what is it?

He taps his shoulder, hoping that that will get his attention. Thankfully, it does.

Adrian jumps a bit from the sudden tap and turns around. He blushes as he takes the coffee from Sami's hand.

"Oh, thank you very much."

Sami furrows his eyebrows, wondering why Adrian wouldn't address the fact that he's been calling his name over and over again for the past few minutes.

Strange, but he decides to let it go and just go home. If he's quick, maybe he can still catch an episode of The Walking Dead.

A/N: Okay, so this did not become the one-shot I had initially planned it to be. (Of course) So it looks like I will be continuing this story until I can get my laptop back and continue No Kissing. I hope you guys liked this.

Oh, also, this laptop isnt as smart as my personal one, so it doesnt automatically correct things like punctuation and spelling, and Im too lazy to go through and fix it, so there's probably a lot of errors. (Like how isnt should be isn't) So sorry about that.
