Aaron was the most hungover he'd ever fucking been. Teddy and he had come in the day before, and he had separated from the boy to drown his confusion at a local club. A very seedy, depressing club.

And now he was really fucking regretting it. Teddy wasn't answering his calls... and he had called too many fucking times already. He didn't think Mary would appreciate him showing up this early, which, yes, would usually not deter him in the least, but fuck.. He couldn't handle this.

"Get me a coffee, black," he growled, eyeing the boy behind the counter. Teddy was probably at school by now anyway, he mused, glancing up at the clock. "When does the kid..."

He trailed off, rubbing at his fuckin' eyes. He knew he looked like hell.

"Teddy, that one. When the fuck's he scheduled?"

Zach acquiesced, pouring the man his cup.

Teddy...? That must have been the owner's nephew he talked about sometimes. He was about to say he didn't know when he saw the look on the other man's face. That probably wouldn't be such a great idea. Leaving the coffee on the table, he held up a finger for 'one minute'.

"Let me go check the schedule," he said, flashing a smile before disappearing into the backroom.

Ford closed the flap of his bag, strolling into the bakery finding it empty save for a taller, attractive man. He paused, making sure he was in the right place before coming inside to stand next to the other man.

"Do...you know Zach," he asked quickly, giving the man the once-over. "Or, are you just waiting for your order?"

He knew he couldn't take his eyes off him, that was for sure.

Aaron sipped at his coffee, wincing as it burned a few tastebuds clean off. His head throbbed as some meaningless boy spoke to him. God only knew why.

"I don't know who the fuck Zach is, but I'm trying to figure out when my--" Pause as he made eye contact, blue eyes turning icy as they rested on the younger man. "Exclusive sadomasochistic partner is scheduled for today."

He sipped at the coffee again, turning back to the counter, less than interested in the kid's reaction. Fuck him.

Zach popped out of the back, surprised to see Ford waiting for him.

"Hey there," he said, feeling instantly happier than just a few minutes before. He turned back to Aaron with a considerably bigger smile.

"Teddy will be in at 2. Your coffee comes to $1.69 -Will that be all?"

He winked at Ford discreetly as the hulking man searched his pockets for his wallet.
