'Why Him?' || Madeleine x Espresso

Chapter 16 | Planning pt 2

" Look, I know this is all going by fast...but you want me to set you up with you and Madeleine just to apologize? Why can't you just go by yourself?" Latte folded her arms, staring at Espresso. The mage fixed his glasses. "I wanted to apologize not for the... temporary relationship thing, but from me hurting him in the past as well. Can you just do this one thing for me?" Espresso smiled. Latte raised an eyebrow.

"You had the confidence to tell him how you felt, but you don't have the confidence to apologize to him?!"
"Happy birthday...?"
"Dear Lord, Espresso."

"I'm sorry, okay, I just need you to do this one favor for me." Espresso pretty much begged. Latte sighed. "Fine, fine, but you owe me something for this."  Latte responded. Espresso smiled brightly. "Thank you, Latte. This really means a lot." Espresso said. Latte rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah, your lucky I love you, professor."

"Love?"

"Let me call him over. You can go make yourself some coffee." Latte smiled. Espresso walked to Latte's kitchen. "Jeez. Where did I go wrong." Espresso sat at her kitchen table and sighed. Just thinking about all the stuff him and Madeleine did just made him feel more guilty. He just needs to tell Madeleine how he feels, not that difficult. Espresso overheard Latte talking to Madeleine. Obviously he was on speaker so Espresso could hear, and the tone in Madeleine's voice...he sounded so depressed. Espresso groaned and slammed his head down on the table. "Where did I go wrong..." He muttered. Latte looked at Espresso and frowned.
"Be sure to get here quickly, I'm sure he misses you a lot as well." Latte slightly smiled. After the phone conversation, Latte sat next to Espresso.

"He'll be here in a couple minutes. Be ready."
"Woopee."

...

A couple minutes have passed on and a knock occured at the door. Latte yelled, "Come inside!" Then the door opened. Madeleine wasn't wearing any armor. He looked to be about normal. Well, to Espresso at least. Wait, why the hell is his hair cut short.

"Madeleine, you're hair!" Latte exclaimed, running up to the knight.
"Do you like it? I didn't really like having long hair as much anymore. Too hard to brush." Madeleine smiled. Latte just sighed and pointed to Espresso.
"He's right there. He has a lot on his mind."
"I'm sure he does."
Madeleine walked over to Espresso and sat down in the seat next to him. He looked at Espresso. The mage turned away. Madeleine sighed.
"Sooo...you know you could have just talked to me without Latte bringing me here. Right?"
"I was nervous." Espresso responded. Madeleine nodded. "Well, whenever you feel like talking, I'm all ears. Even though I don't have any ears."
(Stop breaking the fourth wall you fag)

Espresso nodded.
"There is something I've been wanting to say to you." Espresso looked at Madeleine. The knight looked at him in the eyes. "And, what is that?"
...

"I'm sorry."
