Yes espresso again because i can write whatever i want 😔✌️

Espresso stared at latte's white cat... he could use some company besides actual cookies. Latte noticed him, she stopped stirring her spoon.

"Espresso-? Are you okay?" She asked.

"Ah- no i am fine." He readjusted his glasses before looking away.

'I want one...'

He quickly shook his head.

'I don't need one... augh but its just so fluffy-'

Latte watched as he glanced to the cat and back to the floor.

"Are you sure your alright?" She couldn't help but wonder if he wanted one as well.

"Yes, apologies..." he turned away from it. The cat crawled over to espresso and rubbed it's head against his leg.

"Awwww she likes you!" She smiled. She picked up her cat and placed her back onto her shelf.

"Are you sure you don't want one?" Espresso flinched at the sudden question.

'How did she know!?'

"No, i do not." He crossed his arms. Latte smirked.

"You sureee~? I mean it's nice and fluffy, cute too! Oh and als-"

"I said i DONT want one." He sternly says.

"Okay, i have had enough. Stop being grumpy mr perfect and get yourself some company! Cmon, off to the pet store!" She dragged espresso out of her house, while he was yelling at her to let him go.

"Im not gonna stop until you get something!" Latte held a tight grip onto his wrist.

"LATTE I WILL LITERALLY BURN YOUR DRESS- I MEAN HAIR!" Espresso quickly corrected himself. That would have been weird... (DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT YOU WEIRDOS-)

"Here we are! Take a browse and pick one, ill pay." Latte smiled as she went off to look at all the pets.

He sighed as he looked around, he had no choice. Though he couldn't help but look around the cat section. He saw alot of cats sleeping, playing, and eating. None of them seemed appealing so far. They were either too bright, too playful, to loud, or even too cuddly. But he saw one cat sitting away from the others. It was a dark shade of brown, and was sleeping peacefully. It reminded him about himself. He usually isn't social, isn't loud like madeleine, dark, and neat. Except he doesn't sleep.

"Oooh... you like that one? That suits you!" Latte spoke from behind.

"GAH- latte what the fuck you scared the shit out of m-" he quickly covered his mouth. He was supposed to stop cursing a year ago, because of teacher work, but it slipped out of his mouth. Woops.

Latte snickered, "I didn't expect the great espresso cookie to curse!"

"Whatever, ill get this one i guess." Latte nodded and asked one of the staff to adopt it.

Epix timeskip

It has been a week so far, and espresso felt more relaxed that usual. Still stressed, but less stressed. He stroked the cat while reading a book, studying as always.

'Maybe pets aren't that bad.'
