((Art up top is once again, mine. I've improved a lot since the last art post on here.... it's the fruit of the heart AU btw.))

(Y/N's POV)
It doesn't take us long to reach our destination, since it's only located in the center of town. There's this new type of restaurant that recently popped up, and knowing Tom, he will love it to death. Of course, we will all love it. We pull into the parking lot and get out of the car. In front of us is a cute, brightly colored and flower filled cafe. The name is "Kittens and cake". It's a cat cafe! I look at tom to see his reaction, he looks pretty apathetic. I frown at this, and we walk in. Looking around, it is a cozy cafe with cat trees and round, wooden tables with flowers in vases. Directly in front is the counter, where you pay for your stay and buy food. Now, a small, fluffy white cat starts meowing and pittering over to Tom. He looks down, and can't resist the fluff. He leans down and starts patting the feline, finally a genuine smile appears. All of notice this and look at each other, glad that our plan seems to be working. I walk up to a woman standing behind the desk.

"Hi! How can I help you today?"

She greets me with a warm smile, she has round, blue glasses, purple hair, and a soft and freckle face. She definitely seems like a nice person, the type who you might talk to for hours about dreams or novels, animals or travel. She looks to be only a few years older than me, maybe 22?

"Uh, yes, we've never been to this type of cafe before so I don't really know how it works? Sorry."

"It's okay! That's understandable, this is the only cat cafe in the area anyway. So, you can pay for sessions to play with the cats, we serve food from coffee and smoothies to salads and light sandwiches. We also take care of the cats and help get them and others adopted."

"Oh, that's wonderful! So do the cats live here?"

"Yep! All of them live in the cafe. They have their own little 'cat hotel' in the back where they sleep and tons of perches and walkways throughout the cafe."

I look up, just now noticing the small walkways and perches above my head, like a separate road for the cats to play on,, where they can watch everyone but no one can reach them.

"Oh yeah, I just noticed that. That's really cool! Okay, so... Tom? Matt, Edd, Tord?"

The boys look up from apparently petting the cats and walk over to me.

"Yeah (y/n)?" Tom asks.

"So, we have to pay for our visit, I'm thinking we could stay for a while, maybe 30 minutes with the cats and then get some lunch?"

"Sure! Sounds like a plan." Matt says,

"I second that!" Agrees Tord.

Matt and Tom just smile and nod. I'm glad to see this is obviously cheering tom up. That's the whole point. Plus, it'll be super fun for all of us. I can't wait for Tom to see what else we've planned these next few weeks, we are keeping things a surprise, but also letting him know what he should wear (like a swimming suit) or pack (like clothing) if we go on an overnight trip.

"So, can I go play with the cats now?" Matt asks.

"Yeah of course," the register woman states, "go right ahead."

"Yay!"

All of the boys run back over to pet the cats, and I feel a sort of warmth in my heart. I love these people so much, yeah, they can be dicks sometimes, especially when they fight, but honestly I've never had such great friends. My stomach rumbles, and, ignoring it, I make my way over to the group to see the felines.
