"(Y/N)!" you heard Allen yell.

No. Get away from me. You blindly dodged people here and there. Why do I remember this scene so well? you thought, recalling your wild dash away from robotic (F/N) who was lying in the cafe bathroom. 

Why is he after me anyway? you thought angrily. You stumbled a little as you slowed your mad dash. You found a less crowded space in between two buildings, and you stood there, absorbed in your thoughts.

"(Y/N)!" you heard Allen's voice again, only closer. You didn't bother to answer his call.

"(Y/N)-chan!" Emil called. 

You still stayed silent. Who knew if they had that weird man with them? I'll just wait for them to leave, then I'll go home. At least the robot guy didn't know where you lived-

"Found you, (Y/N)-chan!" Emil said, peering into your hiding space. "What are you doing here? Daijobudesuka? Are you okay?" 

Allen popped out from behind him. "Man, it reeks here."

"Where's that . . . guy?" you asked finally.

Emil looked confused. "He left. He was just wondering if you wanted to tour SFIT. I guess he works there, since he was passing out papers." He held up a blue sheet of paper. "Cool, right?"

Don't trust this guy, you wanted to say. You didn't know why you hated him so much. After all, he just made robots.

Which was kind of humiliating since you were so gullible, you thought a robot was your best friend for almost five years.

"Why did you run away, (Y/N)?" Allen asked. 

You huffed. "It doesn't matter."

Emil and Allen exchanged a look. "So. . . are we still up for lunch?" Allen finally asked. 

"Hai! Let's go to that cute little cafe (Y/N)-chan and I passed earlier!" Emil said. "The one with the kawai neko."

Allen scratched the back of his neck. "You know, I have no idea what you're saying, so I'm just going to assume you're talking about Lucky Cat Cafe. Because it's pretty cute. And it's a cafe. I think."

You were about to complain, but you realized.

This was your chance.

Heh. Maybe I can find Tadoozy's creations while I eat.

The door made a cheerful jingle as you stepped in, signaling your arrival. An delicious aroma wafted past your nose. You looked around briefly to see that people of all ages were eating and talking happily. 

"Welcome!" a friendly-looking lady with short brown hair greeted the trio. "Have a seat." You quickly put the pieces together. If Tadashi lived here or something, then this must be his mother.

The lady left you with some menus, then hurried off. You scanned the menus, catching dishes like egg salad, ham and cheese sandwich, smoothies, tea, macarons, stuff like that. Your eyes occasionally flitted over to the bathroom. Now that you thought about it. . .

. . . wasn't this the place you discovered (F/N)'s disembodied head? The realization hit you like a truck. You froze. 

You suddenly had the urge to run out of the cafe screaming at the top of your lungs. But you couldn't. You had done enough running away today. 

I wonder what they did with (F/N) when they found her. You wanted to focus on ordering your food, but you couldn't. 

"(Y/N)?-chan?" Emil's voice suddenly asked. You looked up. "Are you okay? You keep looking over at the bathroom," Emil said, his face reddening. "D-do you need to-"

"That would explain her moody personality today," Allen smirked. 

Something snapped in your brain, and you stood up abruptly. "No, I am not on m-"

"Are you ready to order?" someone interrupted kindly. You looked over, about to throw your water glass at Allen, to see the nice lady from before. 

After you ordered and the waitress was out of hearing range, you glowered at Allen. "You got lucky, bud."

Emil blinked. "You shouldn't be embarrassed. You should go if you need to."

Your mouth twitched. "You're right." You got up and walked towards the bathroom. 

"H-huh? Did I say something wrong?" you heard Emil ask. "She's not one to listen to me."

Allen sighed. "You should watch out. Wait till she comes back with some toilet water to splash at you."

The waitress walked out of the kitchen with a tray heaped with food. "Hello!" she said brightly. "Can I help you with anything?"

You shook your head. "Bathroom," you muttered. The waitress nodded and walked towards a table. You looked around. You were standing in front of the women's room, and the stairs was to your left. Quickly checking if the coast was clear, you bolted up the stairs. This is probably the apartment Tadoozy lives in, you thought. 

You were met with a neat hallway, with a couple of doors. Oh, great. Which one is his? You decided to go for random. Inside your chest, your heart was pounding madly. If anyone catches me, I'm dead. Why am I doing this again?

Because I'd like to know what's so great about this Band-Aid chucker, that's why! 

You grabbed the doorknob of the nearest door, but before you could open it, a hand clamped down on your shoulder. You nearly jumped out of your skin, and you stifled a scream. Trembling, you turned around to see a frowning Tadashi.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, clearly irritated.

I actually went and searched for the cafe's menu haha

Fun Fact: As innocent as oblivious as he is, Emil is a good actor and can pull off any personality while he cosplays.

Yes, even the flirty/seductive ones now be quiet >:C
