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.

Me to corrupt you.

[aceofcrows]

I hadn't thought of it.

[shootykawa]

I won't do anything you're not comfortable with, don't worry. But if you did want to kiss it would be fine by me.

[aceofcrows]

Oh.

[shootykawa]

Are you sure you had a boyfriend before? Did he not want to kiss you too?

[aceofcrows]

Not the first day!

[shootykawa]

Mmm, I bet he did, he was just letting you be shy.

[aceofcrows]

[he reddens and covers his face]

He was my friend...

[shootykawa]

... Is he not still your friend?

[He doesn't know how bad their breakup was.]

[aceofcrows]

Of course he is!

I-I just mean... w-we didn't... it wasn't... fast.

[shootykawa]

I get it. You're like a particularly good dessert, you want to eat it up as fast as you can, but it's smarter to go slow and savor it. I've never been particularly good at that though.

[aceofcrows]

I'm not a dessert!

[shootykawa]

Are you sure? You're sweet and you look good enough to eat.

[aceofcrows]

Yes!

[shootykawa]

For you, I will be patient. You don't want to know how it was for Iwa-chan...

[aceofcrows]

[his mouth shuts with a snap]

[shootykawa]

[He laughs, but doesn't elaborate.]

[aceofcrows]

[kind of at a loss... so he'll take a small sip of tea instead, not able to look at Oikawa]

[shootykawa]

[Oh, he ruined things. Oops. Good job, Shittykawa.]

Sorry, I didn't come up to tease you, I'm just bad at being a decent person. Maybe I should go? And I'll see you Wednesday?

[aceofcrows]

Ah... you could stay, but if you need to go, I will see you then.

[shootykawa]

You don't have to try and make me feel better, the one really good thing Iwa-chan used to do for me was tell me when I was being an ass.

[aceofcrows]

I... I'm sorry.

[shootykawa]

Why? I'm the one who made this awkward.

[aceofcrows]

It's not a problem... to talk about him. I... just don't know what to say. I don't want to hurt you.

[shootykawa]

I don't think you're in any danger of hurting me. I can talk about Iwa-chan without being hurt.

[That is such a lie, like he doesn't even manage to make it sound believable to himself.]
