Cat Cafe | Titus Alexius x Reader {Cafe!AU}

"Are we almost there?" your boyfriend asked you.

For the past twenty minutes, you had been leading Titus around the town towards one specific shop which you managed to stumble across just the other day. It was a place you knew he would absolutely adore the second he stepped inside, but you wanted to keep it as an early anniversary surprise until he saw it with his own eyes. A mix of curiosity and excitement coursed through his body as he followed you around, wondering what exactly was so amazing that you wanted him to see.

"It's just around the corner, Titus!" you exclaimed, practically dragging him along behind you. "Close your eyes until we get inside."

He chuckled at how dedicated you were to keeping it a surprise for him but obeyed nonetheless. As busy as he was studying for his upcoming exam, he couldn't just write you off after seeing how elated you looked to show him this mysterious place. After all, he loved seeing your smile.

He allowed you to carefully lead him around the busy streets with his eyes closed. Just as promised, it wasn't much farther until you stopped walking. He was about to open his eyes when you quickly stopped him, placing a warm hand over his eyes to keep him from ruining the surprise.

"Wait, not yet. Let's go inside first and then you can look."

Titus nodded and a moment later, he heard the faint jingle of a bell when you opened the door and helped him inside. Your fingers interlocked with his and you gave his hand a soft squeeze. He could feel the excitement oozing off of you.

"Okay," you whispered. "Open your eyes."

Slowly, he opened them, blinking a few times to get adjusted to the sudden bright light flooding in his vision. When he was finally able to see, his mouth hung agape at the sight before him. Upon first glance, it appeared to be any other cafe with various kinds of coffee and sweets to choose from. Though, it didn't take long for him to spot the moving balls of fluff that were definitely not present in an ordinary.

"Are those-"

"This is a cat cafe!" you exclaimed, barely able to contain your excitement.

Directing your gaze towards him, you couldn't help but smile when you noticed how happy he looked. He loved all animals, especially the stray cats which immediately became the center of his attention, so this place was absolutely perfect for him. He adoringly gazed at the cats who wandered around the perimeter of the shop; brushing up against customer's legs and some even sitting on people's laps.

Titus nearly melted on the spot when a white cat made its way up to him, purring as it circled around his legs. He immediately dropped to his knees and starting petting the affectionate cat and before either of you knew it, there were several cats surrounding the two of you begging for attention. You and he spend quite a few minutes doing nothing but petting the cats before they slowly dispersed, leaving just the two of you.

When Titus stood back up, there were tears in his eyes and a pang of worry hit you. He looked so happy before - what happened? Did you do something wrong?

"Thank you, [name]," he said, brushing away his tears before embracing you in a tight hug. Your worry finally ceased and a sigh of relief left your mouth. "Thank you so much for bringing me here."

You placed a soft kiss on his lips and beamed at him, overjoyed that your plan worked. Titus looked even happier than ever before and that's all you wanted to see. Knowing that you were capable of bringing joy to your one true love was all you needed to feel content.
