7. coffee date

kokichi was walking back home when he saw the new cafe down the street. it looked pretty cozy and nice, and he was sure that miu and kiibo would like it. he walked home, clicking open the door with excitement.

speed-walking to miu's room, he opened the door to see her reading a book on her bed.

"miu! miu! miu! miu! miiiiiiiu!! bitch!!" he raced up to her, sitting on the edge of the inventor's bed. she closed her book, her eyes narrowed.

"what? you're so annoying, repeating my name a million times..wh-!?" her hand was grabbed by kokichi's, who lead her off the bed and all the way to the garage, where kiibo was almost always cleaning or indoor gardening or doing...whatever robots do.

"stop yanking on my hand, geez! where are we going?!" miu muttered as kokichi opened the door, still clenching her hand in his.

"kiiboy!! kiiboy, stop what you're doing and come on!! c'mon!!" kokichi repeated, grabbing kiibo's hand as well, pulling him up.

"can it wait?..i'm kind of busy, kokichi...!" kokichi continued to ignore his partner's confused rambling, bringing them to the front door.

"put on your coats! we gotta go!" kokichi handed miu and kiibo their coats, grinning.

"fine, but i'm still so fucking confused.." miu put on and zipped up her jacket, as did kiibo. they were quickly swept out of the house (apartment?) and found themselves walking on the sidewalk.

soon they were at their destination, looking closely at a new shop.

crystal cafe - new in town!

"all this for a cafe..?" kiibo tilted his head, and kokichi shrugged with a playful laugh.

they went inside, immediately feeling a cozy, warm feeling just by being inside the cafe. taking off their jackets, kokichi walked up in line with kiibo and miu.

"can you let go now..?" miu muttered quietly. kokichi nodded and gave miu's hand an affectionate squeeze before pulling away from kiibo and iruma.

"hey kiibs, can you have coffee? you can't have food, but is it the same with drinks?" miu asked, brushing her hair behind her ears.

"no, it's not the same with drinks. i'm waterproof, so it kind of just.. dissolves. i'm not sure how to explain it, but at night my body sometimes overheats itself to rid the water or, in this case, coffee out of it's system." kiibo explained paitently, skimming the menu with their eyes.

"oh, so you just get a fever at night? that's gross, kiibo, i don't wanna get sick!" kokichi joked.

kiibo rolled his eyes in response, although kokichi thought his remark was very clever.

time to order!

"i'd like a small coffee with milk, please. no sugar." kiibo asked politely.

"i'd like a hot cocoa! marshmallows and whipped cream too, because anybody who has hot cocoa plain is-" miu was about to start ranting and cussing about whoever had hot cocoa plain, but kokichi cut her off.
