In hindsight, Kyousuke really should have seen this coming. What on earth had he been thinking, expecting his little sister to come up with a normal answer when asking her where she would like to go on a date.
"A cat cafe," Rin had replied immediately without any hesitation. Kyousuke had stared at her in stunned silence for several seconds before dissolving into incredulous laughter. It was so like her, and yet so unexpected at the same time. Why on earth would she want to go to a cat cafe when she already had so many cats around her? Naturally, Rin had been unimpressed by his reaction and yelled at him before storming away, her cheeks puffed out in righteous indignation.
Well, no matter how ludicrous the request might have been, Kyousuke could hardly have said no to her. It wasn't that bad as far as date venues went, it was just that he failed to see the logic behind it. So he had gone after her and assured her that of course they could go, quickly restoring her good mood in the process.
Now here they were, sitting down in this quaint little cafe with countless cats surrounding them. Kyousuke watched as Rin stroked and cooed over them, a smile forming on his own face.
It really was kind of an odd place to be visiting for something like a date. Then again, the fact that the two of them dating was already kind of...
Kyousuke broke off the thought, giving his head a brisk shake. He shouldn't think like that. Those errant thoughts came to mind now and then, but he would quickly dismiss them. He wasn't going to have doubts about this, not now. Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind, he focused on Rin, who was absorbed in playing with the cats, eyes lit up and lips spread in a wide smile.
Come to think of it, what kind of a date was this meant to be? Kyousuke had little experience with them, but he was pretty sure they weren't supposed to involve one half completely ignoring the other. Well, he should have seen it coming, especially when it involved cats. Kyousuke let out a mildly exasperated breath, putting his chin in his hand. It was fine, anyhow. Even just seeing Rin be happy was enough for him. He didn't need anything more than that.
