Somali moms will casually drop the most harrowing experience from their childhood then go on a rant about how it wasn't abuse (even tho you haven't said anything) and how this generation is soft and how THEY never disrespected their mom's even tho they were treated much worse (and this is really the amazing part, all while claiming that they weren't mistreated by their parents, and that they have never mistreated us) and how this ultimately is all TikToks and Instagrams and most of all feminisms fault

"Can I get?"
Barista AU, Comfort, Fluff. Just sweetness. One shot very short
It started off slow.
He was a usual customer, but this was the first Suguru had to deal with him.
"Heya! Can I get iced Mocha but add 1/2 pumps of white Mocha, two pumps of toffee nut, one pump of carmel, add whip, add drizz, oh also no foam".
Suguru looked at the man wided eye, cup still in his hand. "Okay, first. It's ice, so there isn't any foam... also, what size and can I have a name?".
The white-haired creep laughed, "Just testing ya. You look tired, also a venti size please, also name Satoru".
Suguru smiled passively aggressively, "Thank you so much Satoru, can I have next in line, please?".
The next day it was the same interaction.
"Hey! Can I getttttt... a vanilla bean Frappuccino, add three pumps of toffee nut, three pumps of carmel, one pump hazel nut, creme base, carmel walls, and carmel drizz drizz with carmel sugar toppings? Oh and venti sized".
Suguru looked at the clock. It was barely past 7 a.m. 'Does this grown ass man really need his milkshake at this time?'. "Okay, anything else?".
Satoru smiled, "nope but you're smile will make my day!".
Suguru just stared.
Satoru laughed, "Oh... that was a joke".
Everyday, for a month it was the same.
"Heya! Can I get-"
"Let me guess, a strawberry frap, add three pumps of caramel, white Mocha walls, extra strawberry, no classic add vanilla, light whip".
Satoru beemed, "yup!!".
Suguru chuckled, "anything else?"
"Your number?".

qualitea time
ao3!
The door dings cheerfully as Ainsley strides into the shop. The Gap is swift at their heels, like always.
It's nicely decorated, with bright colors, plants, and a variety of seating options. It's clean and well-lit and the food cases are beautifully organized. Macarons are lined up in a rainbow, neatly stacked against one another, and The Gap can just see cartons of pearls and jelly behind the counter from where they're standing. There are only two workers, one making a tea while the other rings up the customer in front of them. Ainsley's standing behind them, staring at the menu, and The Gap files behind Ainsley.
The customer finishes paying and receives their drink. Ainsley steps forward, not looking at the worker even as they greet them. The Gap feels a little bad, so they lean around Ainsley and wave to them.
"Hi!"
The worker — Sunny, she/they, their nametag reads — smiles at them. "Hello! Welcome to Tea-rrific!"
"Thank you!"
"Gappppppp," Ainsley whines. "I don't know what to getttttt."
The Gap hums and looks over the menu. It'd been a while, but they'd been here before, so if they could remember what Ainsley had gotten last time... oh! There! "How about honeydew milk tea?"
Ainsley does a sighing little hum. "I don't know... what if I don't like it?"
"You could always get strawberry?" The Gap offers. "But, I mean, you got that the last few times we came here."
"Strawberry's so basic, though..." Ainsley sighs. "And, like, did I? I literally don't remember ever coming here in my entire life."
"Yeah!" They don't come often enough for The Gap to really recognize the workers or anything, but they remember— "We sat on that loveseat and you almost spilled your cup over it, remember? And then you were worried they were gonna kick us out since you'd almost damaged their furniture?"
Ainsley snaps their fingers. "That's right! Oh my god, I remember now." They turn to Sunny. "Can I get a honeydew milk tea with strawberry pop pearls and extra sugar, please?"
"Sure!" She taps on a tablet, logging the order. "Will that be all?"
"Yeah."
"Alright!" Sunny reads off the total and Ainsley pays as the other worker begins making the drink. Ainsley takes a step to the side and pulls a green straw from the cup of them on the counter. "And for you?"
"Hi!" The Gap tells her. "Can I get a taro milk tea with coconut jelly, please? With less sugar?" They point to the little sign beside the straws, which lists how one can customize the amount of sugar in their drinks.
"No problem!" Sunny taps on the tablet. "Anything else?"
"A chocolate macaron and a strawberry one, please!"
They nod, tapping a few more times before they read off the total. The Gap reaches into their pocket and pulls out some cash, counting out what they need and handing it to her.
There's no one else in line, so The Gap shuffles closer to Ainsley just because they want to, rather than to get out of anyone else's way. Ainsley's gotten their tea now, and turned to lean against the counter and survey the seating options as The Gap gets their stuff. They get a green straw to match Ainsley, and thank Sunny as she hands them their macarons and tea.
"Have a tea-rrific day!" they tell them.
"Thanks, you too!"
"Thank youuuu," Ainsley calls, and grabs The Gap's wrist — carefully, since they're holding macarons — and pulls them over to a high-top table with cushions on its chairs. They set their drink down to hop up on their seat, and The Gap follows suit. They both unwrap their straws and hover them over their cups.
"Threetwoonego!"
They slam their straws down and sip their teas. Ainsley just barely finishes first, throwing their arms up and screeching in victory. The Gap pouts a little, but they're grinning too widely to even pretend to be upset by their loss.
"So?" they ask. "How is it?"
"Delicious. Thank you, The Gap, I don't know what I do without you."
"Me neither!" The Gap beams at Ainsley. "I love you!"
"I love you too."
The Gap leans over to give them a forehead kiss, but the table is wide enough that they can't reach sitting down. And the seats are high enough that trying to give Ainsley a kiss standing next to them would still be annoying to stretch up and do, so they clamber over the table — just a little bit! — to reach Ainsley.
"Mwah!"
"Awwww, The Gap..." Ainsley delicately kisses The Gap's cheek. They immediately look away and take another sip of their tea, cheeks dusting over with pink. The Gap beams again and sits back in their chair.
They pull their macarons out of the wrapper and hand the strawberry one to Ainsley. They break the chocolate one in half and Ainsley does the same with the strawberry, and they switch halves. They eat in silence; Ainsley is still a bit flustered and The Gap is happy to just sit with them.
After the macarons are gone, The Gap silently offers their cup to Ainsley and they switch cups, trying each other's drinks. Ainsley's is pure tooth-rotting sweetness, and The Gap wrinkles their nose a bit. There's a reason they'd asked for less sugar in their tea.
Ainsley smacks their lips thoughtfully. "Like... it's pretty good, but it could be, like, a bit sweeter." They hand The Gap's drink back, and The Gap passes theirs back to them, laughing.
"Yours is pretty sweet, Ainsley!"
"I know, right?" Ainsley sounds almost proud of it as they take a sip of their tea, humming happily at the taste. The Gap laughs fondly.
The door dings as another customer comes in, and The Gap remembers there are other people here besides themself and Ainsley. They're almost startled by it, and a little embarrassed at being startled, and suddenly uncomfortable here.
"You wanna go?" they ask Ainsley, looking over at the door and back to them. "We can check out the other shops."
"Sure." They hop down from their chairs, and The Gap gathers their trash and throws it away.
The door dings as they leave, like it's telling them goodbye. The Gap hums back, feeling more settled with Ainsley by their side. They lace their fingers with Ainsley's and squeeze lightly, and Ainsley squeezes back, and they're out of there.
