"Pleaseeeee," (Y/N) spoke as she playfully played with their best friend's scarf while (B/N//Best friend's Name) jokingly rolled their eyes in response.

"You know how thirsty I am for your attention~" (Y/N) dramatically posed as she heard her dearest friend giggle back.

"Whatever, Dork." Her best friend joked back, increasing the fun and positive atmosphere around you two. Did the fun and laughs lasted long? It sure did... until what it seems like a man entered the cafe.

The atmosphere changed, everyone's attention was turned to the man except for... well, (Y/N). Her best friend was caught off guard by the man he/she saw enter, (Y/N) sadly didn't notice it so.

"Haha-Hahaa? ...wait a minute," (Y/N)'s best friend stopped laughing then placed their index finger on their lips signaling me to shut up.

"Okay, okay, I have another joke-" (Y/N) smiled.

"shh" her best friend interrupted.

"hey! That's rude, ya know." (Y/N) replied.

"look!" her best friend spoke as he/she pointed at a man?

((READER'S POV))

"What exactly am I suppose to be looking at?" I asked then they pointed towards something or someone, to be honest I can't tell which or who their pointing at. "Um, I really don't think it's necessary-" my best friend cuts me off with a pinch in the cheeks.

"OWW!" I whispered-shouted as the pinch dug in my skin. "That really hurts-!" As soon as my best friend let go of my cheek. I gently caressed it while I shot my best friend a death glare for giving me such a painful time here!

"Im sorry, really I am! But please look at that dude." my best friend whispered as they covered their mouth with their left hand while their right hand pointed at the random dude that just entered the cafe.

I turned my head towards the direction their pointing at, and to my surprise I encountered a random dude with a weird but cute style! Ehh, 'encounter' ain't the right word for it, maybe 'found' but it doesn't matter.

I don't know why but I can't seem to take my eyes off the guy. Why's that, is he magic or some thing? After staring at the dude for a minute or so I realized he was wearing a pink striped bunny onesie with a cat-like tail t-that moves?! Along with that is the pink rabbit hat and the teal colored satchel he's carrying. His face? I didn't really see his face, after all he's back is turned to us.

"You fancy him or something?" My best friend snickered while I stared in disgust. "Whaaaaat? No, no, I just find him interesting you know?" I answered back while I slumped on my seat.

"Oh really, cause if you find him interesting then why not talk to him?"

"T-talk, who said anything about talking? I only came here to drink lattes with y-you!"

"$20, I'll give you $20 if you talk to him."

"Tempting but no. Haha, did you really think you'll fool me-" I stopped then turned my head towards the pink guy and back to the $20 their holding.

"F-fine..." I stood up from my chair as I slowly started walking towards the pink guy. Every step I took made my heart beat faster, I don't know why but... it was happening. I stopped my track when I reached his back.

Wait a minute, why did I stop?

Maybe because I have to think of something to start up a conversation?

But how?

...

I-I don't think I can do this...

But for $20...

I will.

After gathering some courage to talk to the pink guy, I slowly reached out but as soon as my hand almost touched his shoulder, I stopped and peeked from his back to see his face.

Expecting some handsome face or something, I was met with an anxious one. Not only was he anxious, he was sweating.

The pink dude looked like a child that lost it's mom in a mall or something. And why was he so anxious if he's just gonna order something from the menu? Perhaps, he doesn't know how?

"You got s-some balls, huh?" I stuttered as I stood beside him, trying to start a conversation while at avoiding eye contact.

Who starts a conversation with that!?

While waiting for a reply, in the corner of my eye I can see him stare at me with an emotionless face. Um, is he Okay?

A minute have passed or so, yet I still have no replies from the pink guy just some awkward stares, very awkward stares. Aight, I ain't dealing stuff like this. I finally decided to face him but as I turned my head toward him. My face was only a few inches away from him.

"W-what the hell!?" I pushed him away while his eyes remained locked on my face. My face turned so red, I looked like a tomato! This is too embarrassing, jeez!

"H-huh? Uhh y-yeah!" He stuttered back as his face started glowing red, after what it seems like minutes he stared back at the wall menus. "Wait a minute... what do you mean by 'you've got some balls' exactly?" He turned his head to side while giving me the questioning look. His embarrassment now gone, replaced by curiosity. I can tell he's eager to know.

"Uhh, you s-see, it's an expression. Which means I didn't mean literally, wait I mean you do have balls just... not the..." I sighed, "Okay, okay, I think I'll stop now." Due to the embarrassment that just happened I just couldn't face him. I tried looking away to hide my face, I told myself that maybe I should just go back to my seat. I've experienced too much embarrassment for today.

I was about to tell the pink guy that I was about to go, but a pair of what it seems like hands touched my face. It was the pink guy.

"Please don't look away..." he whispered in such a gentle tone, it made me light a small shade of pink.

"Wha-?" I opened my mouth and raised my pointing finger up but was then interrupted again by the gentle voice the pink guy had.

"I've seen so many faces before, but your's my favorite!" He smiles cheekily as he pinched my cheek. He was so gentle his pinches didn't hurt at all.

My head told me to push him away, but my body didn't.

I don't know why, but some part of me wanted to stay longer. But we all know, I have to go back to my best friend.

"Pink guy... can you just... stop?"

"H-huh? Ohh I'm s-sorry haha, I forgot about the distances Keda told me about."

"It's alright, in fact I kinda... like it."

"Um what?"

"N-nothing!"

The pink guy did let go of me.

"H-hey, I noticed you've been staring at the wall menus for a while now-"

"I don't know how, haha!"

"You don't know what?"

"You see, I never left the circus and this is my first time to be here, outside the circus."

"And you don't know how things work on cafes or outside your circus at all?"

"Nope, but that's okay. After all, I got you-!"

Daaamn, this pink guy is smooth!

""

"To help me out?"

"O-oh... sorry."

"Haha, it's okay!"

"Right..."

"Miss lady?"

"You know what?" I took him by the hand then walked towards the counter in such a fact pace.

By the time I reached the register, I let go of his hands but he took it back.

"What are you doing?!" I whispered-shouted.

"Wait, soooo we're not suppose to hold hands that long? I better write this down."

"Never mind."

[[THE CASHIER'S POV]]

I smiled at what it seems like a couple whispering to each other... I wonder what they're talking about.

Maybe their just flirting with each other. Ugh! This just makes me bitter for not having someone for my own.

20 minutes later

Hmm, they seem to be taking their time too much. Like seriously, their holding the line! I better stop them before my boss see this.

"Um I'm really sorry for interrupting, but can I please take your order?"

"Huh?" The two said in unison as their attention turned to me.

"Welcome to the Feelings Cafe! How are you feeling today?"

|| Popee's POV ||

"I feel good today sir!" I grinned widely while the man stared at me with a weird expression.

"I'm sorry, but I think he mean't he wanted coffee." Miss lady then pushed me slightly to her side and continued her order. I don't know why, but being around miss lady makes me somewhat happy.

The conversation went on for a while and it was getting boring. But what truly kept my patience was her presence,

her voice,

her eyes...

her everything.

"Thank you!" Their conversation finally ended.

((READER'S POV))

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?" I crossed my arm.

"Haha, don't you remember what I told you earlier?" He childishly giggled like he didn't just flirted with me!

"Wha-what did you exactly told me e-earlier?" I fiddled my fingers as I stared down the floor. If I were to guess what he'll say, I'd go with-

"Your face is my favorite out of all the faces out there!" He shouted while he raised his arms and started jumping like a kid. I knew it.

"That's because you haven't seen the whole world yet. There are so many people out there with better faces than me!"

"Whole world? I don't need to see it, when the whole world is already in front of me haha!"

"Could you please stop flirting!?"

"Flirting? What's flirting? I'm stating the truth!"

"UGHH! See you're doing it again!"

"Um, excuse me. Sounds like somebody just forgot about their quote, unquote BEST FRIEND." (B/N) jokingly laughed at the two of us. Well, at least I got the $20-

"And no. Since you forgot about me, I ain't giving you some."

"What? But I did what you asked!"

"Sadly, you fell for it." They started walking towards the exit of the cafe while snickering at every step they take.

"Are you coming?" (B/N) turned their direction towards us

"Of course I am!" I answered back.

"No, not you. Your boyfriend," with every word they spoke, their grin widens.

"M-me?" Pink guys shyly pointed at himself.

"Um He's not my boy friend, he's like a new friend of ours? Yeah!"

"Whatever, but he's still coming right?"

"You will, won't ya pink guy?" I smiled, hoping for a response.

"Y-yeah!" Pink guy answered back while fist-bumping the air.

"Oookay? Let's go— wait a second. After all this time, we never even properly introduced ourselves to each other?"

"Huh? I didn't know people have to." Pink guy awkwardly smiled while staring at the floor.

"Well my names (Y/N)!" I pointed at myself, "And this is (B/N)" I continued while pointing this time at them.

"What's yours?"

"My name?"

"Yeah!"

"Well, I'm Popee..."

"Popee?"

"I know it sounds stupid..."

"No it's not, it's quite nice."

"Really?"

"Trust me, it is."
