24 Beast - Gala x Hyde (Coffee Talk)
Gala was lost in thought as he stared at the man who saved him all those years ago. It was decades ago but he could still remember it clearly…
The well-dressed vampire, cheeks flushed with drink as his violet eyes darted between the two suspicious members cornering him as he attempted to drunkenly charm his way out of an obvious brawl-to-be. He had overheard what they said to each other earlier. He wasn’t going to let an innocent vampire get hurt…
“Hey earth to Gala! Were you even listening to me?” Freya sighed behind the steam from her coffee, her face contorted in mock irritation. Gala couldn’t help but chuckle. Underneath her pushing for the latest story and an attitude as loud as her vibrant green hair, she actually was very kind hearted. “Oh sorry Freya I was lost in thought. I’m just glad your back from your modelling trip in one piece Hyde.” I said nervously scratching at my hairy hands as the vampire humorously rolled his slanted eyes.
“Just because I have had some… sketchy contracts does not mean I can’t take care of myself Gala.” Hyde said pouting; making his fangs gently poke at his bottom lip in a way that made Gala feel so warm inside he questioned if his monthly fury was coming early. “You know you have a talent for getting into trouble with that silver tongue of yours. You’re lucky not many want to damage your pretty face.” Gala said a hint of teasing in his voice that his best friend took as a challenge.
“Oh so you think my face is pretty?”
“I think everyone does. You’re a model for a reason.”
Hyde stared at him silently taking a sip of his long cooled tea. Both of them noticing how suddenly warm and intimate the café felt at this time of night. The moment of bliss was interrupted by Freya’s loud groan reverberating through the café “What’s wrong? Mess up your latest chapter?” Hyde asked her as she shook her head “No it’s that you both are OBVIOUSLY pining for each-other! You’ve been friends for – what did you say FIFTHTY YEARS get on with it guys!” Freya whined as both the men began to vibrantly blush.
“I don’t think a model and a beast would make a good couple.” Gala mumbled into his cup
“What never heard of beauty and the beast?” Freya countered smirking in satisfaction as Hyde nodded in agreement with the greenette. “I don’t know we made a great couple when you were my bodyguard so why not?” Hyde’s voice suddenly quietened as his eyes flew down to his lap. “And maybe I'm into a bit of bestiality.” He said as Gala cringed. “I really don’t think you meant it the way I thought you did right?” He asked as Hyde’s eyes widened understanding the context on the sentence as he rubbed his neck in an unusually bashful way for the proud vampire “Yeah not like that but you know what I mean.” He grumbled as he paid for both their drinks waving Gala over to walk outside.
“Hopefully by the next time we see them their story would have turned into a romance story~” Freya cooed as the barista amusedly sighed at the journalist’s antics. But she couldn’t deny that she felt the same as she looked out at the stars glittering in the night sky.
