🐱☕️ Cat Café?! ☕️🐱
Mo never really had much of a childhood. His father made him focus on academics and other things he deemed important for his son‘s adult life pretty early on. He did however also want him to become physically stronger (aka less of a crybaby) and put him into the local rowing club, which became an activity Mo genuinely liked and was able to unwind in, even though he brought the grind mindset™️ with him there as well. Forming friendships wasn‘t really on his goal list, yet he became somewhat close to his teammate Tom, who always asked Mo to hang out outside of their weekly rowing sessions as well, but due to Mo‘s strict household, they were never allowed to.
One day however - the rowing session ended an hour earlier than usual and Mo forgot to tell his mother when it was announced a week before - there was at least a little spark of rebellion awakening in Mo and he let himself get persuaded by Tom to finally explore their city district with him a little (by convincing him that would be a valuable adult skill as well), before Mo‘s mother came to pick him up as usual. And one of their stops was of course Tom‘s favorite café, where the two shared a slice of cake to end their awesome day, drank Mo‘s tastebud’s new and from then on eternal archenemy and made another unexpected friend.
