Cable Guy

ladydrace:

This is a quick little gift for a very nice person whose URL I don’t know, but who was an angel and just… gave me money. Lina, whoever you are, you are too sweet, and I hope you like this silly little meet-cute. ❤

Oh, no. He’s cute.

That’s the first thing that pops into
Derek’s head when he open the door for the cable guy. He’s tall,
broad-shouldered but slender, with big brown eyes and an adorable
upturned nose. It’s unfair, is what it is.

“Hi! Beacon County Fiber Optics, I’m
here to set up your broadband connection?” the guy says, and Derek
only manages a grunt and a nod before just giving up on dialogue, and
showing the guy inside.

Cable guy smiles hugely, though, and
wipes his feet on the doormat without having to be asked. As if Derek
wasn’t already awkwardly crushing on the guy.

As Cable Guy sets up his tools and
starts measuring things, Derek sits down at his desk and tries to
look like he’s working. Not that he has a chance in hell of focusing
while the embodiment of everything he’s ever been attracted to is
moving around barely three feet away from him.

Should he say something? Or is it bad
form to hit on people while they’re working? Derek is pretty sure it
is. Whatever. He’s shit at talking to people he’s attracted to
anyway. Hell, even just people in general. Derek decides not to
bother him.

But Cable Guy doesn’t seem to have any
such reservations.
