Rhack (Borderlands) Part 2

   Rhys got ready to go outside and made sure to carefully wrap his right arm up before walking out of the house. Rhys always liked the colder weather even though he had the curse of getting hurt because of it; he just liked the way cold air felt fresher on your face and when you breathed it in. He walked over to the coffee shop, taking his time to step on every leaf he found like a little kid. Rhys got to the coffee shop and managed to set his bag and jacket in the same spot he sat in yesterday, he went to counter and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the cashier wasn't the annoying and strange guy. He ordered, sat down at his table again, and scrolled through his phone to see what was going on. Vaughn had texted Rhys asking where he was. Rhys took the time to text Vaughn and talk with him for a little while.

   A voice rang through the small cafe' "R-Heese," Rhys frowned but texted a quick 'ttyl' before going to the counter to see who decided to pronounce his name completely wrong. It was none other than that weirdo from yesterday, Rhys groaned inwardly. "Hey freckles!" "My name is Rhys just so you know, not whatever you said." "Really? I like my pronunciation better though!" The cashier smirked and Rhys just replied with an unenthusiastic, "Uh-huh..." The cashier did the same shenanigans as last time, holding the coffee hostage just to have a chat, "Wow, rude much," the cashier put his hand on his heart and feigned offendedness, "We've had two nice conversations now and you STILL haven't asked me for my name!" "That's because I just want my coff-- You know what? Fine, what's your name?" Rhys gave up, the cashier smiled the widest smile Rhys had ever seen, "Well, if you want to know so badly then who am I to deny the request? If you must know, my name is Jack!" 'Jack' flailed his arms and moved animately as he talked, putting on a royal voice. "Jack. Very general and bland," Rhys tried to insult the man, but he just snickered, "I know right? My parents were so boring giving me a name that like millions of people have! I would much rather have a unique name... like R-heese!" Rhys smiled along with the strange cashier, slightly annoyed by the obvious mispronunciation of his name but somehow feeling elated by just talking to this 'Jack'.

   "If you really think it's as bland as I think it is, I'll change it! All for you," Jack said the last part in a sarcastic voice and Rhys laughed, covering his mouth with his hand, "Yeah, tell me what you decide on later." Jack smiled widely and gave Rhys his coffee, that surely put him in a better mood. Rhys sat down at the table he put his items at and took a couple sips of his coffee, scrolling through his phone again to wait for the coffee to either help him or make him feel worse. Vaughn apparently texted Rhys back 'I have work rn, so maybe text after the job'. With no one to text to pass the time, Rhys went to social media and scanned each line of text before he actually felt just a little more focused. He put his phone in his pocket and took his laptop out of his back to see if he could focus on the leftover work he was supposed to have done yesterday.

   Rhys was really doing fine with all the documents, he could actually understand all of the legal mumbo jumbo for a little bit until his brain started to swirl again. The coffee quickly ran out of its effectiveness and after just a couple minutes, Rhys was stuck staring at the words struggling to figure out what each word meant before rubbing his forehead to try and focus. He silently huffed and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to try to bring his vision back to clarity. A small sound snapped the tired man out of his brief moment of relaxation and he opened his eyes to see a new coffee cup set on his table, he looked up and was actually surprised to see Jack. "No offense, or all the offense I don't care, you kind of look like shit. I thought you would need another one." Jack said and giggled to himself, and there's the annoying part of his character Rhys thought, "Thanks but coffee isn't exactly helping anymore..." Rhys mumbled and tried to soothe the slowly growing headache he had, "Then why not take a break? Wouldn't it be better than staring at whatever you're staring at?" Jack had just a slight hint of empathy in his voice. Rhys sighed, the irritating man was right but Rhys didn't want to admit that, "Did you think of a new name yet?" He changed the subject, Jack spluttered, "Excuse me? I..." He muttered a couple sentences before clearing his throat and composing himself, "I'll have it when you come by tomorrow." That's all Jack said before walking off, Rhys smiled that he managed to actually bother the man. Rhys then realized that he should take Jack's advice and he started to pack his stuff up, he reluctantly left the warm and nice-smelling cafe' and walked back to his house to take a well-deserved nap, then maybe his head wouldn't be gelatin and he could actually get some work done.

(A/N Oh my god! It was a drag to start writing but after I got into it, my hands just wouldn't stop typing! I'm also screaming again, I just can't contain myself when writing or reading anything remotely cute! I can't wait to write the next part! So yeah, I have officially decided to make this an actual fanfiction with chapters (they'll just be called part on here though)! After NNo, I'll probably make a new story and copy the chapters from this Rhack thing to that and make it a more official story! Seriously though, this thing just inspired me after I got into it and I don't care how OOC they are because I love them and you can take this Jack that purposefully mispronounces Rhys' name out of my cold dead hands! Okay?! He is a child and a cinnamon roll and I love him very much ^_^ I also love this Rhys he is a queen and he really needs to sleep like my dude, have some days to treat yo self! This fic will probably be a slow-burn and I honestly still have no idea what I'm gonna do with Jack's character or what will happen in the future but I shall go forth bravely into this entirely unplanned territory! It is not my first rodeo with completely unplanned stories ya hear? Okay, Imma go because I still have to eat and do homework lol but you guys MUST have a good day ya hear? I also wish you luck on your NaNo if you're doing it!)
