Summary
For the prompt "Confessions/Love Potions/Enemies to Lovers", but make it a Coffee Shop AU. Almost.
Lucanis is just about to close up the shop when Rook stumbles onto the rooftop patio, tripping over the extended strap of her scribe’s purse. The bag tears open, sending Rook to the ground in a clatter of pens and broken ink vials. As another customer rises from her seat—in her usual shadowed corner, where she often stays until Lucanis kicks her out for the night—he drops his towel on the table so he can run to Rook’s side.
“I’m sorry,” she says, helplessly, tears streaming from her cheeks as she looks up at him. “I didn’t want to get you involved in this. I just… didn’t know where else to go.” On her hands and knees, palms bleeding and ink-stained from where they’ve skidded across the broken glass, she smells like saltwater and sweat and something else, bittersweet. She’s breathing hard as his thumb hovers over her cheekbone, and her pupils are too wide, visible even in the dim light of the candles placed in intervals along the trellis that surrounds his little haven. His breath catches as she leans fully into him, one of her stained hands rising to clutch the fabric of his cheap linen shirt.
