Cat Cafe AU

[aceofcrows]

Welcome to the cat cafe -- Coffee and Cats!

It's a quiet, well-run cat cafe featuring a half dozen permanent residents and another half dozen adoptable cats. The coffee is good, fresh, and prompt, and the sole employee is ... well... he looks a bit like he should be in a gang with his height, long hair, and goatee. However, he's incredibly gentle, shy, and absolutely wonderful with cats and small children. (Even if he's afraid he will break something.)

Come in, find a seat, and enjoy the atmosphere. Open from 11am to 2pm and 6pm to 9pm every day.

Ah... mm... when did... it happen?

[shootykawa]

Eight months ago.

[Around the time Oikawa stopped playing volleyball, if Asahi follows those sorts of things.]

[aceofcrows]

Ah... I'm sorry.

[he watches volleyball, but he hasn't followed everyone he used to know closely]

[shootykawa]

Like I said, it's okay. I'm over it.

[That is a lie, but it's one he's going to stick with, damn it.]

[aceofcrows]

... If there's anything I can do... [weak smile] Ah... well you know where to find me, I guess.

[shootykawa]

There is something you can do. You're doing it right now.

[aceofcrows]

... I'm just sitting here.

[._.]

[shootykawa]

On a date. With me.

[aceofcrows]

[he flushes and looks down at the table]

Mm...

[shootykawa]

Aren't you?

[aceofcrows]

I... am. [slowly turning scarlet] I... don't really date...

[shootykawa]

I can't imagine why. You're so sweet, I bet you've had all kinds of shy girls giving you chocolate over the years.

[aceofcrows]

[blushes harder]

Ah... mm...

[awkward shifting]

[shootykawa]

Have you ever been out with a man before?

[He's trying to ignore the awkward and just go through it.]

[aceofcrows]

[he will never stop blushing and he scratches the back of his neck]

Ah... Noya... in college for a while.

[shootykawa]

[He thinks for a second and it comes back to him.]

The Libero? I bet he asked you. I bet he had to climb you like a tree, with ropes and harnesses and everything so he could get close enough to ask you.

[aceofcrows]

[laughs and blushes hard, looking sheepish]

H-he had to ... ah... point out we'd been dating for a while before he asked me out...

[shootykawa]

That sounds familiar. "Everything but the sex" right?

[aceofcrows]

[._.]

Ah... mm... we... didn't... it was... um...

[shootykawa]

It's okay, I had a similar conversation. But then it turned out we were having the sex and not doing the other relationship things. I want both, you know?

[aceofcrows]

... Both... is good, yeah.

[shootykawa]

I'm glad you agree.

[Oikawa rubs his foot deliberately against Asahi's leg under the table.]

[aceofcrows]

[yips and starts, banging his knee on the underside of the table. the silverware jumps on their plates, and he blushes, covering his face]

[shootykawa]

Whoa, are you okay?

[aceofcrows]

[he keeps his face covered but waggles one hand and groans to himself]

I... I'm fine. It just startled me.
