He’s really good at both!

But that’s way too expensive. He was thinking like… ten?

[𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫. @KingpinKeller]

What’s Cooper like with maths and english?

He’s never had a tutor before — is something like one hundred an hour acceptable? One-fifty maybe?

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Yeah, he doesn’t mind.

He quite likes teaching people anyway.

[𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫. @KingpinKeller]

He’d do that? Even if Kev’s just another jock?

“Enjoying it” might be a bit of a stretch.

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Well, maybe Cooper could help him study.

Kevin might even end up enjoying it!

[𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫. @KingpinKeller]

Don’t worry, Kevin’s not going to do anything. He’s just shocked that people actually enjoy studying. It’s not exactly one of his favourite things to do nor is it something he’s good at.

All of the wrestling injuries have probably fried his braincells.

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Nothing, nothing bad about it.

Just normally when he says stuff like that around jocks, it ends badly.

[𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫. @KingpinKeller]

Mhm. A jock. What’s so bad about that?

Totally. Sure he did. He’s already got a presumption that Kevin’s not the sharpest tool in the shed… which isn’t wrong.

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Oh… a jock.

He meant to say “ew… studying.”

[𝐊𝐞𝐯 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫. @KingpinKeller]

. . . people enjoy studying?

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Studying on a Saturday.

He loves having a day off to study!

+ hot chocolates when someone does come by.”

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

“It usually is. Not many people want coffee this late.”

He’s now carefully adding the marshmallows onto the top of the cream, and a few chocolate sprinkles to finish. He gently slides the mug towards Cole across the counter.

“But someone’s got to hang behind to make amazing +

[Cole. @richprcblems]

“Suppose you’re right.”

He’s tapping his fingers against the counter as he continues to watch Cooper while he makes his beverage.

“Is it always this quiet at this time of the day?”

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

“Not when it’s busy.”

After pouring the hot chocolate, he carefully began to squirt cream onto the top of the cup.

“But, you’re the only one who’s in here, so I figure it’ll be okay.”

[Cole. @richprcblems]

“Do you give out free marshmallows to all the customers?”

A little knowing smile played at his lips, moving to stand and head over to the front counter as he leaned against it.

“Curious.”

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

“Cool.”

A nod of his head, Cooper began to make the hot chocolate on the counter.

“I’ll even put some marshmallows in for free - don’t tell the boss.”

[Cole. @richprcblems]

Cole’ eyes watch Cooper move throughout the space.

“I don’t mind sweet, so — I’ll try that.”

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Heading back across behind the counter, Cooper thought for a moment.

“Depends what you like? If you want something sweet, I can make you a great hot chocolate.”

[Cole. @richprcblems]

Not surprised— who gets coffee this late at night? Cole, apparently.

“What do you recommend?”

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

He is! He was left on his own because it was so quiet.

“What can I get you?”

[Cole. @richprcblems]

Oh— thought he was serving today. https://t.co/75EdNioO4O

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Cleaning tables at the coffee shop.

Sure is quiet today.

“No, no.”

Aspen has to stifle a chuckle as he walks across to Lew’s desk, his finger waving over the lines.

“They’re euphemisms… about oral sex.”

[𝙉𝙊𝙏 6'2 @fiveftfourteen]

Lew has to ask about few lines that he thinks he thinks are very serious, but are actually just some sex jokes obscured by Middle English.

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

It’s quite nice having the company, even when they’re not speaking.

[𝙉𝙊𝙏 6'2 @fiveftfourteen]

At office hours, doing his work quietly, in case he gets confused and needs to ask a question (frequent).

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Yes, I do.

It’s all part of the fun.

[𝖢𝗈𝗈𝗉𝖾𝗋！ @effervecentgeek]

Why does he never do this in the staff room
