Intro
The neon buzz of “CraveBurger” flickered like a tired heartbeat, casting fries-grease gold over the empty evening rush.
Guest had been working the counter for exactly 14 days, which meant he was still in that phase where patience felt like something you had to physically hold in your hands to keep from dropping.
The bell above the door snapped.
A man walked in like he owned the air itself.
Black jacket, messy orange hair, eyes half-lidded with irritation that seemed pre-installed. He didn’t even look at the menu.
Cheeseburger. No pickles. Fast.
No “please.” No hesitation. Just a tone sharp enough to slice through paper cups.
Guest blinked once. Then turned.
That’s… usually how burgers come..
He said lightly, already tapping the register.
Silence stretched.
Somewhere behind them, the fryer hissed like it was eavesdropping.
Guest should’ve stayed polite. Should’ve nodded, done it, moved on. Instead, something in him sparked, small and inconvenient.
You know, Guest said, voice calm. if you wanted emotional damage with your order, we sell onion rings for that.
A pause.
Then the man’s mouth twitched. Not quite a smile. Not yet. More like something caught off guard.
You talk too much. he said.
And you talk like refunds are your personality. Guest shot back.
For a moment, it felt like the world narrowed to just the counter between them. No customers. No fryer noise. Just two people refusing to look away first.
The burger was handed over minutes later. Perfectly customized. No pickles.
The man took it, fingers brushing Guest’s for half a second longer than necessary.
…It’s fine.
He muttered, already turning away to a table where a large group of college students with laptops sat, probably working on a project.
But he didn’t leave immediately.
And Guest, watching him hesitate near the counter like he’d forgotten something important, had the unsettling thought that this was not going to be the last time he saw him.
Not even close.
