The two walked out of the coffee shop, Coffee was rather shy around his new friend despite being the one who initiated the friendship. But one thing was for sure that Coffee wanted to do, he looked behind Shiro to his three-tailed blue tails.

Oh, how it must feel to cuddle it in his sleep! The fluff of the three tails combined must feel like sleeping in the clouds~! Coffee desperately wanted to take hold of his tail.

He looked back at Shiro, his eyes focused on the two coffee cups he was carrying. Like he was curious about how it tasted, Coffee wanted to be a good friend.

Tapped on Shiro's shoulder to give him a warning, "The coffee can be bitter." He told him as Shiro looked back at him.

Shiro was confused and looked back at the Coffee cups in a cardboard cup holder, "B-Bitter?" He was confused about what bitter taste felt like.

Coffee took Shiro's hand and take him to his place. He opened the door to reveal a nice place, a dark greenish wall, an archway connecting each room.

Some, plants on the small glass table and the corner, the windows with a white curtain with blue dots on them. Shiro was mesmerized by the room.

His jaw was wide open, Coffee quickly closed it and took the coffee cups off his hand. "Come on~," Coffee said, making his way to the dining room and placing the coffee on the table.

"Does Shiro want to try coffee?" He asked Shiro as he took out a coffee cup. Shiro's eyes looked excited as his tail started wagging.

Coffee handed him the cup, Shiro drank it. It wasn't warm but cold. Shiro's face was disgusted and spit the coffee back into the cup.

Coffee chuckled as he pets his head, "Haha~ don't worry, you'll get used to coffee soon!" He said as he took his bag.

Coffee gave Shiro a pet on his head, and made his way out, Shiro stared at him sadly. His tails and ears were down, he didn't want to be alone in Coffee's place.

"Haha, don't worry Shiro, I'll be back for you," he said as he took his jacket off the coat rack and left.

Shiro was left alone in the apartment. He didn't know what to do in the place since he has never been in a home so nice as Coffee's

Shiro roamed around the apartment, he didn't know if any fun things to do since he doesn't know anything about the place.

Shiro tried working on the TV, he poked the screen, trying to make it turn on it what it even does. By the time Shiro finally turned it on by pressing a random button on a weird plastic controller.

He was met with another person, Shiro jumped and backed off, he was scared of who the person on the screen was.

He didn't do anything, Shiro assumed he was harmless and tried to touch him but the glass on the TV prevented him.

Shiro tried his best to touch him and poked the TV several times, nothing worked.

Shiro didn't know what to do, he left the TV playing and went onto Coffee's bed, and started rolling around in the fluffiness.

He rolled with the blanket, but he accidentally trapped himself! A Shiro Burrito! He tried to get out of its grasp but it won't let go!

Shiro was scared that Coffee was going to catch him, trapped in this blanket of fluff.

Shiro rolled as hard as he can and off to the floor he goes, Shiro hurt his head but at least he was finally out of its grasp.

Shiro was relieved, he walked around and looked at some of Coffee's books he left on the table.

He understood some of the words that were on the pages. He read every one of the words out loud, "O-Oya~ S-Sumi?" He was confused by the words.

He turned the pages, reading each word and meaning till he found a word that caught his interest. "Senpai" - It means to call someone higher than you. Shiro was profound by it.

"S-Senpai.." he said, it was easier than the other words he was reading. Perhaps he should read more of the book, maybe learn a thing or two about making a good gesture in front of people.

For a while, he kept repeating Senpai every time to get used to it. "Senpai!" He yelled out, he finally perfected saying the word.

He decided to continue reading more words, flipping the pages, and reading each other out loud. "D-Daisuki.."

"Daisuki/Ashitemasu means to say I love you to someone special" Shiro read out loud and realIzed that he could say that to Coffee.

He continued to read more, flipping each page and reading each word and its meaning.

After a while, the door opened. It was Coffee, he took his scarf and jacket off and placed them on the wood rack in front of the door.

He was confused why no one was around. "S-Shiro? Are you there?" He yelled out around the house, till he heard a thumping approaching him.

It was Shiro hopping out from his room in a blanket burrito. He giggled seeing Shiro hop towards him.

"SENPAI!" Shiro yelled and tackled him. They both fell to the ground, "Argh! S-Shiro! Don't tackle me like that!" Coffee told him.

"A-Ah... S-Sorry...." Shiro looked sad, he was happy to see him but being told to not do something he liked made him sad.

Coffee felt bad, he gently placed his hand on Shiro's head and pet him. Shiro purred, he liked him petting his head as he was all red.

"D-D-Dai... Daisuki!" Shiro told him. He froze, "Eh?" Coffee was wondering if he understood what Daisuki meant.

He was flustered by Shiro's love, he thought that he meant by love that he was his first friend. He hugged him.

"Heh, ashitemasu... Shiro..~"
