"Oh I-" Espresso began to say, but then he realized. What was he going to say anyways? "I- Give me a moment. Please excuse me." Espresso went Madeleine porch as Madeleine nodded in confusion. Oh shit! I forgot. Espresso sat there for a few minutes before remembering about Taiyaki and why he was here. Before he could open the door, Madeleine opened it first and slammed it on Espresso's face. Espresso flinched and stepped back, holding his nose. "Oh my divine! I am so sorry!" Madeleine apologizing profusely. Espresso waved his hand and went inside. "Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?" Espresso asked. "No." "But this is your own home you fucking little id-" "I WAS JUST JOKING! Door to your right..." Madeleine giggled. Espresso walked right in to see a small cut on his nose. "I can heal you if you want!" Madeleine yelled from across the house. Espresso scoffed, "I can help myself." "Okay!" Madeleine exclaimed, still giggling. "Are you laughing at me?!" Espresso asked slightly pissed. "Noo!" Madeleine said, still managing to keep his composure. "Yeah, okay." Espresso spoke, visibly irritated. Espresso then washed the cut with water and walked out the bathroom. "Do you have a bandage?" Espresso asked. "No I do not! I do not carry such things as I can heal people! Slightly." Espresso rolled his eyes as Madeleine waved his hand signaling to sit down.

 "Do you remember what you were going to tell me?" Madeleine asked. "Ah yes, I wanted to say I do accept the offer it's just-" "What offer?" Madeleine interrupted. "The Saturday thing." "Oh yes! What about it?" "Well I would've said it already if you didn't interrupt me." "Oh I am sorry! Please, continue." "Like I was saying-" Knock knock. Someone was knocking on the door. Espresso rolled his eyes and covered his cut as Madeleine got the door. Madeleine looked through the window, seeing it was Latte. As Madeleine unlocked the door Latte opened the door. "Hello Madeleine! I was just asking if you happen to know Espresso's whereabou-" Espresso and Latte shared glances as Espresso sat on Madeleine's couch holding his nose. As the three of them stared at each other in silence Espresso finally spoke up, "Yes, I am here. What now?" "Oh no, I'll wait on the porch." Latte snickered as she sat down on the chair. Madeleine looked back at Espresso before he bursted out laughing. 

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" Espresso yelled over Madeleines slightly contagious laughs. "IT'S JUST- IT'S JU-" "SPIT IT OUT." "I-" Espresso got up, and ran to the bathroom. Espresso giggled a little before stepping out, keeping his monotone face. "OKAY- Okay. Okay, okay-" "Sit down." Espresso demanded. "Okay like I was sayi-" "What are we talking about again?" Madeleine asked, clueless. "This Saturday, I accept your invite. It's just this Saturday I am expecting to fall asleep." "What do you mean?" "I mean, I am expecting to just randomly pass out. According to Latte, It happens twice a week." "Do you know what days it happens on?" "Unfortunately, not really. Latte and I share a notebook where I write down days I pass out. It usually happens on Tuesdays and Saturdays, rarely on Wednesday and Thursday. Happens around 2 PM to 9 PM. In the mornings I usually feel light headed." "Do I need to watch you sleep too?" Madeleine joked. Espresso rolled his eyes, "No, obviously." "Do you know how to swap the days?" "Yes, I would have to sleep today. But that isn't easy. I would need to get those melatonin gummies." Espresso responded. Madeleine giggling slightly. "Okay i'll be there tonight! I think Latte is getting impatient." Madeleine said, watch Latte death glaring Madeleine. Madeleine shivered. Espresso bid his goodbyes as he walked outside.
