           The soft pitter-patters of the rain in a fine afternoon followed by a steaming hot chocolate was a weather Y/n considers fine, despite its role as a hindrance for certain activities. Albedo had brought the female to the cafe as promised, luckily being able to shelter themselves before the tears of the nimbus clouds overflow to the earth's soil.

Y/n awed at the homey ambience the store brings. Warm pinks, browns, and creamy yellow covered the vertically-striped walls. and the floors reminded her of chocolate bars. The tables and chairs were milky white, but the white cloth over the table looked as if it was liquid, dripping. This is like a legit every children fever dream, Y/n awed. Seeing her eyes twinkle like stars, reflecting the bright cafe lights, Albedo swooned inside at the excited female.
Curtly, he coughed, getting Y/n's attention.

           "What do you want? My treat," Albedo held her soft hand, even just as they were in front of the cashier. "I'll have the Cherry Sponge cake, and maybe the meringue... if that's okay," Albedo nodded, and greeted the cashier politely before listing his and her orders. The cashier happily nodded, taking the money off of his hands, and giving the blond his change.
"Oh yes! Mam? Is this your first time visiting the BearBerry cafe?" Y/n looked back to the cashier, who's eyed twinkled. "I-uh, yes, it's my first time."
"Our first-time customer are very precious in this cafe, and by tradition, we present three stuffed toys that you can choose from!" The cashier gestured to a stall of three shiba-inu plushies. There was a gray one, a black one, and the common light brown. "I'll take a stuffed toy after eating, if that's alright," The cashier nodded before tending to an incoming customer.

          There were a few people sitting and about, surprisingly. Some were from her batch, some were upperclassmen. The two could hear the chatters of those around them. Some talked about the common boring day, and others talk about the work piling. One particular conversation regarding the school festival intrigued Y/n the most. A crossdressing cafe... I should put that in my mental checklist! The female nodded to herself.

         "Thank you for the food!" They were immediately filled with relief as the flavors of their respective cakes burst, providing them a sugary surprise. Albedo mused, "Do you want to take a picture?" and Y/n nodded, taking her camera to picture the food. Then she aimed at the science and art club president. Though surprised, he just smiled charmingly.
"How do you smile so handsomely?" Y/m mumbled, not knowing that she was thinking loudly. The male blushed, coughing on his sleeve.
"Ah... was I thinking loud?"

          The meringue was also delicious, making Y/n drool the more she ate. She'll just have to burn whatever fat she got from eating. Albedo, on the other hand, looked like he was floating on a fluffy cloud, complete with an expression that looked as if he had experience the choir of angels reign down to take his soul.
"Can I taste your cake?" He asked, looking at the cherry sponge cake with interest. Y/n assented, pushing the plate to him, as the blond did the same. The taste of blueberries, raspberries, and vanilla harmonized in her lips, as the sugar further enhanced the taste. Y/n moaned in delight with the taste of heaven right on her lips.
