The Perk- Saturday morning

Rey arrived a little late for her shift at the Perk. It was such a crazy day already! She'd fallen down a stair, she'd missed the train, and she'd broken a heel, all before getting here. So with a "Sorry sorry sorry!" (She was American now) she put on her apron and got behind the counter, and started making a customer's drink. Which she immediately spilled all over the counter.

"I see it's going to be one of those days."

One day she'd make it big and could have a better life. One day!


[Here, have a coffee shop AU! You can either talk to plucky romcom klutz heroine Rey or do your own thing!]

Rey grinned as the nameless barista started cleaning up the mess. "It was talking trash about me? What did it say?"

Duke affected an absolutely ridiculous Brooklyn accent and proceeded to regale her with the various insults to her barista-bilities, throwing in a devastating critique of the Perk’s non-dairy options for spice. There were wild hand gestures involved. It was quite the performance!

“So really it’s a good thing you took that milk out, otherwise the soy was probably going to have to do something drastic. You know how sensitive it is to lactose.”

"That'd be terrible," Rey laughed, as the other patrons in the shop began a slow clap for his performance.

If only they hadn't known each other forever! Maybe then she'd allow herself to see him in a new light!

Maybe once he learned to buckle down and get serious in order to take on his new role as duke of Windsorhampceistershire, they could finally both find their way out of each other’s friend-zones!

“Exactly. Which I know is exactly the sort of commitment I’d want out of my wedding planner.”

"Future wedding planner," she corrected, and said, "Soooo did you stand up for me to the milk at all?"

No reason. Just curious.

“Nah,” Duke said, waving a hand dismissively. “I can’t go around fighting all your battles for you.”

He was completely incapable of keeping a straight face.

“Okay, fine, I may have told it off just a little. No one mocks my friends and gets away with it.” He gave her a pointed, knowing look. “Not even them, themselves.”

"I don't do that all the time," Rey said shyly.
