At the Café

You walked down the streets of Inkopolis. You decided to get some exercise, so you didn't take your car. It was around 3:55, and you were going to the cafe to meet Emperor. You saw a familiar white coat from outside the window. You and Emperor locked eyes. You were flustered and he just stood there smirking. You walked inside and ordered a coffee. You walked over and took a seat.

You just stared at each other for 15 minutes, before he asked, "How do you it, Y/N?" You gave him a perplexed look and you asked "What do you mean?" He responded, "You only got your team last month, and yet you are extremely good." You replied, "Well we just work together, and since we all see each other almost every afternoon, we discuss our weapons, research our opponents, find out each other's weaknesses, our strengths, and we do calculations to find the best strategy possi—WAIT! I know what you're doing! You're trying to get me to spill the beans so you can beat us!"

He pointed his finger at his face all innocent-like and said, "Oh me? No need to. You guys aren't worthy of battling a king anyway." There was a silence. You gave a loud laugh and nearly started crying. You pointed at him and said, "Hey, don't forget you lost to GOGGLES and HEADPHONES!" You pretended to wipe a tear. Speak of the devil.

As soon as you said that, saw Specs and Headphones walked in the door yelling at Goggles who was—you guessed it—naked. Bobble Hat was just standing there with that permanent happy smile. You and Emperor threw your hoods on and avoided all possible eye contact. You both had your signature gear on and were easily recognizable. You facepalmed and said, "There's no point in hiding." He took off his hood. He replied with "Eh, it was worth a shot." A butt-naked Goggles walked towards your table. You grabbed 2 napkins and gave one to Emperor. You held the napkin up so you couldn't see Goggles privates. "Hey Y/N!! Hey Emperor!!!" Goggles waved his hand quickly.

You said quietly "Hey.." And then you yelled, "PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON!!" Goggles looked down at his body and said "I've been naked the entire time?!" Specs facepalmed yelled "Idiot!" All of a sudden, a jellyfish approached the group and said, "No clothes, NO SERVICE!!" He got a broom and swept them out the front door. They all were getting hysterical as Specs dragged Goggles over to the clothing shop.

You and Emperor stared at each other and laughed. You spent the next 15 minutes talking about your childhoods. He talked about his life as a rich boy in boarding school in his wealthy neighborhood while you talked about your time in the hospital and in rolling hills and infinitely long fields. All of a sudden, you got a splitting headache. You had forgotten to take your pill. You grunted and flopped your head on the table. Your tentacles were changing all sorts of colors. Some of the other customers were panicked and rushed over.

You shed some tears before you yelled, "EMPEROR! GET ME MY PILLS! THEY'RE IN MY BAG!" He snatched your bag and gave you a pill. You put it in your mouth and swallowed. It was too late. You passed out right there on the spot. He panicked and picked you up bridal style. He lie you in the back seat of his car. He sped to your apartment building and kicked open your door. He carried you upstairs and placed you in bed. He tucked you in and went downstairs to get
you some water. Afterward, he flopped down on the couch and watched TV.

You woke up about an hour later and stumbled downstairs. Emperor saw you and helped you down them. "Whoa there, Y/N" He sat you down on the couch, wrapped you up in blankets, and got you some green tea. You took small sips and watched the news. "Well Marina, today was a great match between t/n and the X4!" "Yeah Pearl! Vintage posted this on his Inkstagram: "Today's match with t/n was a good match, for some low-life A's." "Speaking of t/n, a video with 2.5 million views of the leader Y/N L/N has gone viral." Marina followed, with a solemn tone. She continued, "Y/n suffered a seizure this afternoon from her condition, most likely for forgetting to take her medication. Warning; the following footage may be disturbing to some viewers" A video appeared on the screen of you having a seizure, and Emperor giving you your medication.

"It is unknown where Y/n and Emperor are right now, but we believe that Emperor might have taken her home, where she can rest." Marina said. "Could this small act of kindness lead to a relationship?" Pearl said, more happily. When they heard that, Emperor and Y/n blushed and turned away from each other. Emperor looked at his phone. He typed in a few words and looked at you. He stood up and said, "Hey I'm really sorry about this, but I have to go. I'm gonna be late for dinner. You gonna be okay here by yourself?" You replied, "Yeah, don't worry I'll be fine. This has happened a lot." He nodded and said "Well if you're sure, then I'll be going. Bye Y/N!" He walked towards the door. As soon as his hand was grazing the doorknob, you said, "Emperor?" He turned around and said "hm?" You answered, "Thanks. For making sure I'm okay."
