For holy's sake it was tough, real tough to get private time with the man he loved. There was so much joking and laughter about the two but he was serious! He was serious about all of it. He would pledge the essence of his soul to this man, if he hadn't been already. This man.. Ren.
He was perfect in every which way, he knew him, the coffee machine, he knew how he worked. He knew every crack and crevice the machine had, and although sometimes Ren god on his nerves, and sometimes Ren was pushed his buttons just because he himself was annoyed the coffee machine knew, it would never have a future without Ren by his side.
Now was it's moment. The break room was quiet, the machine's favorite man had come to see his favorite coffee machine.
There was silence, only broken by the sound of an opening cabinet, and a mug, tinkering against others as it was pulled out. The mug went to its usual spot in the machine, and for a moment, Ren's hand brushed against him, it made his coils heat up ever so slightly.
He wanted to say something to him, to break this uncomfortable air. He wanted to finally be able to make his confession... he had to stall for time. He had to wait until he was ready. So he thought on it, on his words.
Why had he not been ready? Why had he been gazing longingly at the man instead of thinking of what he'd say to his face?
Ren tapped against the machine's side.. was it broken? There was normally coffee in his mug by now. "Gosh don't break on me now," he muttered, crouching down to get a closer look at the object of his affections.
And that's when it came to life, their faces were so close.. it really got the machine's coffee flowing. He knew he had to say something.. but what would he say?
"S-senpai?"
“What the f-”

Ren took a step back from the machine. He was sure it was staring at him despite its lack of eyes. Who the hell put a voice modulator in the damn coffee machine? Hell- who had given it the AI? Whoever it was, this was not funny, this was the opposite of funny.
He took a deep breath, and stepped back towards the machine to grab his coffee, thankfully the machine stayed quiet. He was starting to think it was some sort of weird auditory hallucination. Man, all of the others would be laughing their asses off if they heard about this one….
