Thomas tapped his foot against Derek's ankle a few more times before he put his fork down and sat back, giving the coffee a quizzical look. He'd tried it before but hadn't been a fan. He wasn't sure if it was that specific coffee or coffee in general that he didn't have a taste for.

It woke him up even though he wasn't even tired. It gave him a little kick in the backside that he'd apparently needed. "It's kinda bitter. Is it supposed to taste that way?"
