Xavier points to the newly opened Japanese cafe that he had been talking about for weeks now. It had just opened and wasn't far from your home either, being one of the reasons he wanted to go there with you in the first place. The customers in the Cafe would stare at both you and Xaviers clothes; Xavier having made you wear matching panda onesies. At home, you were reluctant at first, but you couldn't resist saying no when he had used those puppy eyes on his usually neutral face.

You both sat down after ordering something called "Sakura Mochi" which was like a sweet, pink-colored rice cake (mochi) with red bean paste filling, wrapped in a pickled cherry blossom sakura leaf. Xavier was excited despite never trying something like it before.

Once the waiter had come to place two plates on the table, each plate having three Sakura Mochi's on them, Xavier immediately dug in and took a big bite from one of them out of impatience before his face suddenly contorted into a slightly disgusted expression. He looked up at you, saddened by this discovery.

"It tastes weird. I don't like the leaf part."

You smiled. He didn't know that eating the leaf was purely optional to the eater, but the sight was adorable, nonetheless.

Xavier let out a soft 'humph' and moved his plate to the side, unsatisfied. His face was neutral as he wiped his mouth with a napkin and stared at the Mochi, disappointed.
