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.

A few weeks. I had trouble finding a place I liked that was close enough to the trains and far enough from... some memories I don't need to relive.

[aceofcrows]

Yeah, I guess that would be harder...

[coming back over with a couple of steaming mugs]

Why'd you come back then?

[shootykawa]

I didn't want to stay in Tokyo and this place still feels like home. Plus, work.

[aceofcrows]

What do you do?

[shootykawa]

I... uh, I'm... modeling. [He's really embarrassed to admit it.]

[aceofcrows]

Like... for magazines?

[shootykawa]

Yeah. Advertisements and stuff.

[aceofcrows]

That's pretty cool. You definitely have the looks for it.

[shootykawa]

I didn't think I should tell you, I wasn't sure how you would react.

[aceofcrows]

React? It's... you're good looking, and you've always been popular with the girls, if I remember right. I know you're smart and you went to university, but it's not really surprising that you're modeling either.

[shootykawa]

You got scared when I tried to play footsie with you, I wasn't sure how you would react knowing that millions of people can see me in my underwear any time they want.

[aceofcrows]

Well... it's not like they can see me in mine right?

[shootykawa]

I should hope not!

I mean, I guess if you wanted to it would be fine. You probably have that cute little treasure trail down your abs, too, so you'd look really hot.

[aceofcrows]

[scarlet]

I don't really want anyone seeing me in my underwear.

[shootykawa]

Not even your boyfriend? Hypothetically.

[aceofcrows]

[blushes]

M-maybe?

[shootykawa]

Even if it was a private showing? Just you and him?

[aceofcrows]

I don't know!

[shootykawa]

[Mostly to himself.] Must not have gotten very far with that Libero...

Well, it's okay. I don't expect everyone to be as comfortable with their body as I am. It wouldn't be fun if they were.

[aceofcrows]

[half pout but kind of curious]

Why not?

[shootykawa]

It's fun because it's taboo. If everyone did it it would just be normal, and that's not as fun.

[aceofcrows]

... I don't get it.

[shootykawa]

Have you ever gotten a thrill doing something you knew was wrong? Like sneaking into a place when it's closed or jumping a turn style at the train station?

[aceofcrows]

Not really...

[shootykawa]

You're so pure! I should probably be in trouble just for talking to you like this.
