"Hey, Bee I'm coming over to hang out! See you soon!"

Hanging up on the phone with Bee you stretch and start getting ready for the day ahead. You have the day off from the cafe which was a miracle since you had asked Howell to let you have the day off for the first time in a while since Deckard left. It wasn't that long ago but Howell let you be since you were the main one who was helping to keep the cafe afloat being the assistant manager and all.

You were heading on over to Bee's complex to hang out in the morning while wearing black baggy pants and a cropped cream-colored turtle neck long sleeve with a small bear printed on the side of the neck. You made it to her front door and knocked on it, while looking down at your combat boots Bee opened the door and greeted you. "Oh! Y/N you are here! I was just telling Puppycat about my time at the cat cafe! I found a letter Deckard had left a while ago hehe I just recently found it..." She twiddled her thumbs together as the two of you walked into her complex and you shut the door behind you.

"Hey Bee! Are you almost ready to go out?"

Her eyes lit up "Aw heck yeah! After I finish telling Puppycat the story we can head out." You spot Puppycat staring at a picture on the photo frame of Pretty Patrick. "Okay! Oh hello, Puppycat!" He seems too enamored with the picture to say anything or even look at you. Bee goes on her knees on the couch pointing at Howell for Puppycat to look at, while you stood next to Puppycat looking at the picture. She continues her story with both of you as her audience.

"This is Howell, the guy who fired me for napping. Napping all the time. Like, constantly. Pretty embarrassing. So I stopped talking to him."

You slightly frowned at that knowing that it was not as serious as Bee thinks. Howell low-key misses having her at the cafe maybe not working there but her company. Suddenly Puppycat jumped up on the couch and spoke up while pointing at Wesley in the picture.

"Forget about him. Who is that?"

This time you spoke up "Oh that's Wesley!" suddenly there was a knock at the door and Bee went to go get it. "Wesley. Uh.." Then Puppycat went to join her as well by the door and was surprised to see him. "The guy from the photo! He looks even cooler in person!!!" While Puppycat was vibrating in happiness as seeing Wesley you walk over behind them and smile seeing Wesley. "Hey, Wesley! Haven't seen you in a while!" He glances over at you as flower petals fall around him with a small nod. Meanwhile, Puppycat is amazed by him with the flower petals as you and Bee glance at him confused. She speaks up again "What can I do for you?" Wesley looks over at Bee showing his IOU card to her. "Not another one. You're really cashing it now?" Groaning and reluctantly taking the IOU card from his hands. Then Wesley shrugged at her response which Puppycat is still fanboying over. "He answered by shrugging. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen." You look down at Puppycat slightly worried hearing his usually high voice going deep. He shrugs the same as Wesley and you stifle a laugh which made him look up at you.

"What?"

You shrug the same way as him in response. The four of you walk to Bee's scooter "Oh Crispin made me a scooter too! I don't think all of us can fit on yours, Bee... I can take either Wesley or Puppycat with me." She lets out a gasp "Crispin made you a scooter?! We can be scooter buddies now!" The both of you excitedly talk about going out on scooter trips together. Then came the time to decide who will go with who. "Okay who wants to ride with me-" Puppycat had hopped into your arms making a weird noise before speaking "I will go with you" you nodded as you told both Bee and Wesley you will follow behind them to the beach. Puppycat had hopped at this chance since he saw the way Wesley looked at you and he was jealous that Wesley acknowledged you and not him. Finally arriving at your small area, you put Puppycat into the sidecar which he refused to ride in not wanting to be seen as uncool by Wesley riding on the small side of the scooter. "Fine, then I will take it off." You quickly unhook the sidecar and put it off to the side while you hopped on the scooter with Puppycat sitting behind you. "Oh wait!" You grabbed the helmet you left on the side next to the scooter and put it on top of Puppycat's head. "Safety first!" He quietly sat there while you put your own helmet on and the two of you were off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The four of you were sitting on Wesley's boat fishing, well only you and Wesley were fishing. Bee and Puppycat looked bored out of their minds sitting there doing nothing. Suddenly Wesley smacked the cooler and a water bottle came flying out which he caught. Somehow the sandwiches were sealed again in the container as he guzzled down the water. Honestly, you were confused about how he did that, Puppycat attempted to do the same thing by smacking the cooler but all he did was make a small fart noise on it. The three of you stared at him before he attempted to jump off the boat since Wesley's stare seemed to make him super embarrassed. You quickly reel your fishing pole back and throw it catching him just in time before he hits the water. You reel him in and set him down next to you while Bee tells him to stop overreacting. As Wesley gives you a thumbs up for your amazing catch he suddenly gets a tug on his fishing line which he reels in one of Bee's many items that are in the ocean. He looks over at her and speaks

"That looks like one of your things. The fish keep getting stuck in them. You're gonna have to go get all your stuff sometime."

Whenever the two of you would go fishing together you would always find one of two things occasionally of Bee's belongings which you would give to her. She looks a bit upset at this and quietly mentions she doesn't like to be underwater. Wesley fully reels in the item and boinks the fish out of it while you hold the bag full of water open for the fish to drop in for him. You quickly tie the bag and hand it to him as he gives Bee one of her many items. You turn around to go sit next to Bee and Puppycat as the three of you look up at him standing there on the boat. "It's good to be responsible." Suddenly a bird comes and poos on Wesley's shoulder making you cringe a bit grabbing your teddy bear handkerchief and wiping it away. Wesley thanks you and you give him thumbs up while Puppycat begins to argue with you about why you took away the cool skull poo mark that was left on his sweater.

Wesley opts to head back with you to the Cat Cafe by sitting down and holding onto you which Bee shrugs at and picks up Puppycat to put him behind her but he decides to just lay down on the containers. As Wesley holds onto your waist while you drive, you mentally try not to overthink but you wind up becoming a statue trying to contain your thoughts about being so close to him holding you. Puppycat was on top of the containers casually laying down as he lays his paw down and it makes a little fart noise again he spots Wesley turned around watching him with no emotion on his face. You hear Puppycat screaming out loud behind you.

"HE SAW AGAIN!!!!"

Finally, the four of you arrived at the Cat Cafe parking lot and parked in the parking spots. You feel Wesley release his hold on you and get off which you feel comfortable enough to let out the breath you were holding in now. You get off the bike as well you stood next to Bee looking at the Cat Cafe as the both of you spot Howell walking by the window he looked sad which made you sad since you don't like seeing him or any of your friends like that. Bee looks worried seeing him gasping when she saw him at the window "Howell." She looks over at Wesley who is getting ready to pick up the fish from their containers. "Um, is it okay if we don't help you carry the fish inside?" Wesley then looks at the both of you and shrugs before grabbing all of the containers easily and heading on over to the cafe. As he is walking away, Puppycat flips off the boxes and lands in between you and Bee.

He decides he deems Wesley as cool and that he likes him which all of you already knew before he decides to ask her a question. "Why don't you wanna go inside" Bee points out to the window which Howell is once again in front of being attacked by Charles. "The guy that fired me is there. I can't go in there he won't be happy to see me" You and Puppycat raise an eyebrow at her you speak up after Puppycat speaks up, "I told you to forget about him." He then runs over to the sidewalk and gets ready to cross. "I'm going to go practice punching inside."  He runs across the street almost getting hit by a car and goes to the front door while you look over at a worried Bee. You pat her back in reassurance. "It will be okay Bee, he will be happy to see you since it has been quite a while since you have come into the cafe." She lets out a sigh "He doesn't want to see me." You try to coax her to come inside the cafe while Wesley puts his apron on and comes to the front door looking out and seeing the two of you still out there he has a small smile on his face as he walks on over and digs into his pocket taking out the IOU card and a blue pen signing it and handing it over to her.

"Oh, thank you!"

He begins to head back and stands at the front door of the cafe. "You should come and see the place." She hesitates to come inside "Uh... No, I shouldn't." He then mentions her favorite cat which then you remembered you forgot to tell her the news about the kittens. "Oh yeah! She had babies with your other favorite cat!" She turned around to you in surprise "Aw man! Why didn't you tell me you could have sent pictures!" You raised your hands up in defense "I forgot! But if you come inside the cafe you can see them in person! You can hold them and feel their soft fur!~" Wesley smiled at the two of you. "They are the size of my fist. Seven." You see that he held up eight fingers and you put your own hands up into seven fingers while mouthing it out to him as he then looks down at his hands and fixes them.

"Yeah, seven. We put them in a basket surrounded by little cakes Y/N made."

That seemed to have convinced her more as she now decides to at least look through the window at the kittens. You decided to stay with her looking out the window not wanting her to be alone. The two of you look at the kittens until you spot Puppycat "punching" them with his paws as they enjoy the soft feeling and purr while he starts going ham on them.

"What?"

Bee sees what he is doing and yells at him to stop through the window before she leaves you outside to quickly head on inside to stop Puppycat from continuing to punch the kittens. You follow her inside as she grabs the basket from the ground away from him. "Were you punching these kittens?!" He argues back with her that they enjoyed being punched by him. But she ignores it opting to pay attention to the bundles of joy in her arms.

"Oh my gosh! You're all so kittens! I wish you would have told me about them before!"

You sigh as you sit down next to her on the ground picking up one of the kittens and petting them. "I forgot... If I would have remembered to tell you then maybe you would have come back to the cafe sooner!" You raise the kitten to your face as it raises its paw to boot you on the nose making you let out a small giggle at its cute action. "It's okay. I'm not mad or anything." She was too immersed in holding them describing which ones looked like their parents till she got to the scraggly kitten. "You look like...Um...Yeah." You put the kitten you were holding back into the basket, seeing Wesley walk over to the two of you on the ground. "I knew you'd be happy to see the babies." Suddenly you hear Howell calling for Wesley making Bee freak out "Huh! Howell." She put the scraggly kitten in her hair along with the other two before face-planting into the basket and running away grabbing Puppycat the both of them hiding in the cupboard.

You stood gobsmacked at the fact that she was able to fit all of the kittens in her hair and make them stay. (Tbh you wanted to try it next too) You dusted yourself off as Wesley nudged you to go stand with him in front of the cupboard. The two of you awkwardly stand there trying to hide the fact that Bee was there since both of you know she doesn't want to see Howell. He finally walks out from the kitchen spotting you and Wesley.

"Oh Y/N. What are you doing here? Today is your day off. Did you miss seeing me here?"

As you were about to respond Wesley begins to strike up a conversation with his brother. "She went fishing with me anyways I think we should stop serving the black sauce on everything. It might be what's driving the customers away. Looks kinda scary. You piped up from next to him "Yeah! It looks gross! I have been telling you Howell but you won't listen to me!" Howell sighs before responding "Never. It makes the food look thin. Besides, the food under it, it's even scarier looking." Okay damn, he didn't have to come for you like that. "You mean it's scary looking only when you cook it right?" Raising an eyebrow at him he ignores the look you give him. "No, when you cook as well Y/N." Then the both of you started discussing the occasions with the burnt food which was covered in the black sauce. Before he remembers what he wanted to ask you guys "Did... did I hear someone come in?" Both you and Wesley respond with no which makes him look at you two suspiciously "I thought I heard talking." Then he looks over at the fish Wesley had caught in the bowl. "I don't like it." The fish glares at him while you let out a snort and look away from him as Wesley facepalms.

"I could eat some ugly food."

Suddenly Bee had come up from under the cupboard standing up and speaking to the three of you. Making you guys look over at her as Howell smiles seeing her and realizing what you guys were trying to do. "Ugh." Howell was happy to see her, but he was still planning on being petty to her in a nice way.
