Work Text:
It was a particularly rough day for you, so you decided to enter a nearby cafe just to find the building packed with customers, visibly annoyed at having to sit through a long rush. The light jingle of the bell above the entrance to the cafe signaled your arrival that nobody seemed to notice since they were all busy with their own business, whether that just be talking calmly or loudly eating a dessert. As you moved through the waves of demons, you heard several voices mixing together; the most prominent one coming from a particularly loud demon with ram-like yellow horns, seething with anger as she spoke into her phone. Her hold on the inanimate object becoming tighter as the conversation continued. People around seemed to judge, eyes rolling at her obliviousness of being in a packed and public space.
The angry atmosphere in the cafe didn't seem to settle down; the air still blooming with chaos. You locked eyes with the cashier, a young looking demon with teal, cat shaped horns. If you were being honest, he looked attractive despite his disheveled appearance. You broke eye contact for a second; the gold-appearing nameplate on his ruffled uniform bright under the cafe lights as you struggled to read it. After a few moments of awkward silence, you managed to read the nameplate.
Slingshot, huh? You don't know why you were so interested, maybe you had heard that name somewhere before..? Your thoughts didn't continue though - He suddenly spoke, his voice more commanding than you were judging based off of his appearance.
"Order for.. Ms. Luger!"
The cafe turned silent for a moment before returning to it's usual antics; people talking loudly, a green-horned demon who you presumed was an employee reminding customers that gears weren't allowed in the cafe, etc. The yellow-horned demon suddenly stopped speaking; a small detail that only you seemed to notice. You watched as she approached the counter, her stance alone demanding respect as the phone stayed close to her ear.
Her horns gleamed in the light, the reflection brightening her intimidating appearance. Her hand reached out fast - Slingshot instinctively flinched before settling once he realized she was just reaching for the food bag. His eyes snapped from her hand to your face, as if only realizing you'd walked in. His tail flicked behind him--
.. Wait a tail?!
You did a double take almost immediately, both times the tail didn't disappear. His eyes followed your gaze before the fluffy tail moved to hide behind his own body.
