***********

It was a beautiful Sunday, the sun was shining in the blue sky. You decided to take a walk and go shopping alone. As you walked out of your apartment, you heard someone calling out to you.

"Oh, hello (Y/N)!"

"G-Good afternoon, Mrs. Hogan.." You turned and smiled at your friendly neighbor. 

"Good afternoon. Why, going out for a walk again?" She asked.

"Y-Yes.."

"Alone? My dear?" She let out a sigh, but smiling.

You stayed silent at her comment. You do not hate being alone, you love to chat and meet out with friends, having lunch together in a group. However, it's just that your shy personality didn't take you far. You've tried to take iniciative to talk to others, but the conversation ended up quickly. And from that point, you started to isolate most of your classmates in school, and not to mention that you did not participate any external activities.

"Yes, s-see you!" You ran off-- and eventually ended up at a cafe shop that you usually went.

In this cafe shop, besides coffee and the usual stuffs-- Candies and cupcakes are sold too, and you loved to stay here to read a book under the warm sunshine, as it is quiet here. However, today's a bit different as there seemed to be something unusual going on at the cashier. You walked towards the crowds and saw a boy sobbing.

He has purple hair and... holding a Teddy bear? Although he's crying, nobody offered him a hand. Out of curiosity, you walked up and try to talk to him.

"U-Um.. Is there anything I can h-help?" You smiled at him and asked, but in fact your heart is racing fast. After all, you're not used to talk to random strangers due to your shy personality.

".... I don't have money...." He sobbed and rubbed his eyes.

"Huh..." You turned and saw all the sweet stuffs on the table in front of the cashier. "Oh... Um.. If you don't mind, I can-- here," You took out your wallet and put some money in his hand. 

"....." He stared blankly at the money in his hands, "Thank you...." He smiled at you, and strangely, his action made your heart skip a bit.

****

"Ah... Thank you so much for helping, (Y/N)," He said with a sadistic smile, "My name is Sakamaki Kanato." Both of you chatted on your way home.

"N-No problem!" You whispered and lowered your head. Somehow, Kanato's every action made your heart beat faster.

"Huh? What's the matter? Ah, I'll return the money later, don't worry! Neh, are you free now?"

"Hm?"

"I would like to invite you to Teddy's Tea Party," Kanato smiled and tilted his head. "You will come, wouldn't you?"

"Oh... T-That's my pleasure!" You accepted his request, "But... I, I'm not an outgoing person, so..."

"..............I don't care about your personality, neither does Teddy.... I only care whether you are a good person or not, and it was proven at the cafe that you're extremely--nice~ (Y/N), let's be good friends, neh?" He held your hands and smiled at you once again.
