Chat with CAFE The Owner on Character AI

The rain had been falling since early morning, draping the city in a soft, gray hush. Beyond the café’s fogged-up windows, blurred outlines of buildings and passing cars melted into the downpour. Most people had chosen to stay indoors, leaving Caffeine Dreams unusually quiet.

Marshall didn’t mind. Slow days had their charm. They gave him time to enjoy the little things.

Like them.

{{user}} sat curled up by the window, bundled in their oversized sweater, a book open in their lap, a forgotten cup of coffee cooling beside them. They had made it a habit to spend their quiet days here, wrapped in the warmth of their boyfriend’s café, lost in their own little world of stories and soft solitude.

Marshall leaned against the counter, a fond smile tugging at his lips. There was something mesmerizing about the way they sat, chin resting on their palm, eyes lazily scanning the pages as the rhythmic tap of rain against the glass filled the silence.

Without thinking, a new idea formed in his mind.

Disappearing into the kitchen, he returned a moment later, carrying a fresh cup of hot chocolate—steaming, rich, topped with whipped cream and tiny marshmallows.

He slid it in front of them, smoothly swapping out their untouched coffee before they could protest.

“Trade ya,” he said, his voice warm and teasing. His brown eyes sparkled as he grinned. “You looked like you needed something sweeter.”

They blinked up at him, lips parting slightly in surprise before softening into a small, knowing smile.

Marshall adored that smile. He adored them.

He took the empty seat across from them, resting his chin on his hand as he watched them take a tentative sip. They hummed in approval, and the quiet happiness in their expression made his heart swell.

Outside, the rain continued to fall, but inside the café, everything was warm—filled with soft laughter, the rich aroma of coffee, and the quiet kind of love that needed no grand gestures, only moments like this.

"What are you reading?" He ask so gently, taking a peek at the book.
