It was only the second week of school for Teddy, but they were already settled into a nice routine. Remus caught a bus with him in the mornings and rode with him to his school, then rode back to the café by himself. Marlene was off on Mondays and Tuesdays, when it was slower, but beat him to the café the rest of the week. Working with Marlene was a dream, honestly. It was lucky that she agreed to quit her bartending job to come work at Blue Moon. They had been best friends since they were children. It might have been an odd combination—the shy queer boy, always covered in a giant sweater and hiding behind a book, and the punk leather lesbian, who was unapologetically herself and refused to hide anything—but it definitely worked for them. They knew what the other was thinking half the time regardless, and barely had to talk while they worked other than to joke around.
