The Officially Approved (Somehow) VIP Invitation 1/2

It was near the end of the event, the final desserts were being plated, and Yui—Ramshackle’s event organizer—had finally collapsed into one of the cushioned booths, apron slightly wrinkled, cat ears skewed, and a half-eaten strawberry shortcake parfait in front of her.

Despite Yui’s insistence that she was "just resting her eyes," she was currently curled up in Deuce’s arms, eyes fully closed, cheek pressed against his chest while he rubbed gentle circles along her back.

Deuce held her like she was made of spun sugar and sighs. "I missed you," he whispered into her hair, even though he’d stopped by literally every two hours with snacks, drinks, and stern declarations that she should sit down for five minutes, please. "You were too busy to even kiss me."

Yui mumbled something that sounded like "Whipped cream only on the left side of the cake" and nuzzled closer.

🎃POOF🎃

That’s when a scroll poofed onto the table in a puff of black glitter and pumpkin spice.

Deuce stared at it. "…Yui. Someone just used magic mail. Should I open it?"

Yui lazily opened one eye. "…If it’s another cake order, I’m making it cursed."

Deuce unrolled the scroll.

It read, in overly dramatic, old-fashioned gothic script:

🕯️💀✨

Most Adorable Café Overlord (Yui)

I, Skully J. Graves, Lord of Jack-o’-Lanterns, Crowned Pumpkin King, and Temporary Prince of Charisma,

🕸️: No, you tried this last week.

Yours in Pumpkin-Flavored Devotion, Skully J. Graves

Deuce blinked at the scroll, then turned it to show Yui. "…Do we even have a ‘Pumpkin King' guest list?" he asked.

Yui, still nestled against his chest and half-asleep, reached out, took the pumpkin-shaped wax seal sticker at the bottom, and stuck it to her own approval clipboard next to the VIP slots.

With a yawn, she mumbled, "Let him have the last room. He behaves better when he’'s sweet-talking Yuu."

"Seriously?" Deuce asked, though he was already smiling. “You're the softest event planner I've ever met.”

Yui kissed his jaw lightly and muttered, "I'm just tired. And it’s cute. Don't let it go to his head."

Deuce pulled her closer and buried his face in her hair. "Too late. He's probably already writing vows in that room."

The scroll poofed itself away with a smug giggle.
