I Love Him, I Hate White Socks Too

Rayaari headcanon - the required Coffee Shop AU

Despite being a busy student in her final year, Raya picks up shifts at her Ba's Heart Cafe when they are suddenly a manager down.

Namaari is a regular customer at the cafe. She loves to spend hours studying in the corner of the cafe, papers strewn across the table and an endless supply of iced tea at her elbow. Her addiction to caffeine is too strong for her to be at a library instead.

The first time Raya sees Namaari, she almost forgets how to make her order, since her brain is too busy short-circuiting. Sisu spends the rest of the shift (and half of the next) making fun of her.

Sisu then ensures Raya is the one to serve Namaari every time she comes into the cafe.

Namaari meanwhile has her own gay panic over at her regular table, and spends the next hour staring blankly at her textbook rather than studying, all because the pretty barista smiled at her.

Namaari wears glasses sometimes. Raya may have made an undignified noise the first time she sees them (but she will vehemently deny if asked).

Benja is friendly with Namaari since she's been a regular for quite a while. When he sees the heart eyes being sent her way by Raya, he is delighted, and promptly becomes Sisu's co-conspirator.

All their scheming amounts to nothing, because to their despair, they are dealing with two useless gays.

Raya notices how serious Namaari always seems, and tries to say something funny every time she takes her order. When Namaari finally gifts her with not only a smile, but a cute hair-tuck-behind-the-ears, Raya is flying high for the rest of the day.

Namaari only appears so serious because she is trying not to embarrass herself in front of Raya.

Raya likes to study in the cafe herself, after closing hours. One day, Namaari seems to be working very intensely on an essay, and has forgotten to leave at closing time. Instead of kicking her out, Raya simply makes them both coffee and they start to study together.

Not long after, they find themselves talking more than studying.

Namaari finally finds within herself the ability to be smooth, and asks Raya out to dinner. Raya spills coffee everywhere in surprise, but they finally go out on an actual date.

Sisu and Benja are relieved at last.

Pain. That’s all he can feel, that’s all he knows in this moment. The humans were wrong. The gods show no mercy, no remorse, no regret. The gods do not feel. The gods understand none of it. Love, hate, sadness, agony. 

The human. He has to find the human. He needs to tell the human. His human. Where is he now? All he can feel is pain. His vision is blurry, he cannot see. He needs to tell the human. His human will help him. He has to find his human. Where is his human? He wails, throwing himself on the ground. It is cold, cold and hard and unforgiving, like the gods. Maybe he should just stay here. Maybe the gods are right. 

No. He needs to find his human. He needs to get off the ground. 

The darkness is welcoming.

He needs to find his human. 

Come. Join us. 

Voices, voices, voices, like a soft whisper in his ears. He needs to find his human. But the voices will not stop, the voices of the dead, so much softer than those of the living, than those of the gods. He is tempted to join them, but he must find his human.

The human will be here soon. Wait with us.

The words aren’t a promise, but they sound like one. He will wait for his human. 

The darkness welcomes him. 

Yes. Yes, join us. The human will join you here. Come, down, farther! 

Gleeful laughter fills his ears. 

He lets the darkness take him.

The Angel gets his wings ripped off by the Gods as punishment for falling in love with a Human
