They first met at school. Amamiya sat next to him.
A student from Japan with a slight accent, big glasses, and pretty good grades. He fit the stereotype of an Asian student perfectly.
Except for the fact that he secretly brought a cat to school.
“Please keep this a secret.” The new student blinked innocently.
Tim realized that the new student's eyelashes were long.
By the time he came to his senses, Amamiya had become his regular desk mate throughout college.
They met for the second time at a coffee shop during his night patrol. Its rich, distinctive aroma drifted through the door and out onto the street.
The little red bird's eyes were already about to close, but instinct led him inside. There, he saw a young man behind the counter.
The way he made coffee was like a performance. The aroma seemed to rise from his hands.
The little red bird almost thought he was falling in love, with coffee.
After that, the coffee shop became the little red bird's favorite place to go.
And so Tim began living a happy life: going to class and petting his desk mate's cat during the day, then having delicious coffee after class at night.
Until he met that damned phantom thief.
Red calling cards announcing the theft of hearts fluttered down from the sky. Standing atop a high-rise, the phantom thief, whose code name matched that of a certain criminally insane man, smiled provocatively at the world's second-best detective below.
“I am the heart-stealing phantom thief, JOKER.”
“The world's second-best detective? Go ahead and try to catch me. I'll give you the truth you want, if you can manage it.”

With a certain goal in mind, Ren came to a city called Gotham and began his college life.
He also continued his career as a phantom thief.
Go to class and pet cats by day, make coffee after class, and be a phantom thief at night. Along the way, he also helps people around him who are caught in impossible situations.
He steals twisted desires from evildoers and makes them reform. There's no due process involved, but to JOKER, that's justice.
Until he meets the world's second-best detective, whose intelligence and determination are both maxed out.
Troubled, he asks his cat partner about it. He thinks he might like that detective a little.
The cat is shocked and asks, “Then what about your desk mate?”
JOKER ponders for two seconds and makes his choice.
Can't be helped. Guess I'll have to date them both.
* A sweet 1v1 romance about a hot-blooded young couple who get carried away and save the universe
* Written after playing P5R and getting depressed. The main story has a little bit of chuunibyou energy, but I've tried to make it understandable even if you haven't played the game.
* There will be short side arcs featuring things like ABO, corruption, cross-dressing, a world that will definitely turn into BL, and a world where I definitely won't become BL. Everyone's poor... Please check the tags if these aren't your thing.
* Ren has a two-sided personality: radio-wave flirt and benevolent mother goddess. His stats are maxed out in all five areas.
Bonus scene:
Tim thinks his desk mate is a little like Harry Potter.
Messy black curls, thick glasses, living in an attic, and a close little animal companion.
Besides that, his desk mate has plenty of other distinctive qualities.
For example, long eyelashes, a knack for cooking, and a willingness to accept every request from the people around him. He's as patient and accepting as a mother.
But he has a surprisingly cocky smile.
I want to kiss him.

[Western Crossover] Can an Alien Cat Keep a Bat-Cat?
The Wayne family has recently gained a fluffy little black cat named Milo.
He's the most conscientious boy in the family. He dashes around the house every day, sometimes covering Damian's belly button while he's asleep, other times licking Bruce's hair to help him groom it.
From the perspective of animal behavior, it seems the little guy thinks he's the parent of the family.
The little fellow is pretty and well-behaved. No one can resist the care of this fluffy little cat.
Except Jason. He doesn't come home often and doesn't know much about the cat.
Then one day, disaster strikes. Jason is badly injured and on the verge of death in the street.
As his life is about to end, a little cat darts out of nowhere and sits on his face.
The cat purrs.
When Jason wakes up, he discovers that he's turned into a cat too! A tuxedo cat, no less!
Not only that, Jason discovers he can understand Milo!
“Oh, kitty, you're a cute, scruffy little cat.” Milo happily wiggles his whiskers. “Let me lick your fur clean, you silly little cat.”
After half a month of living as a cat, Jason's fatal injuries heal completely, and he turns back into a human.
Then a black cat wearing a red bow tie suddenly appears at the house.
Tim the cat: ...
Jason: Hiss!
Jason: Wait, I'm human again.
Half a month later, another black cat with green eyes appears at the house. Half a month after that, a black cat with a very perky rear end and blue eyes shows up...
Just before the Batfamily is about to become the Black Cat family, Batman finds them, but in a near-death state.
Milo happily sits on Batman's face and starts purring.
Great, now a big black cat is joining their cat family.
Milo is a fluffy alien who loves Earth's cats.
But there's one serious problem.
He can't tell humans and cats apart.
“So this is why you listed your species as ‘alien cat’ on the Justice League's alien registry?” Jason finally finds Milo's file.
Milo: “I can't tell them apart! I really can't!”
* Bottom is the main character, pairing with Jason. He'll take on a human form later.
* A feel-good family story. Everyone turns into a cat and gets adopted by the protagonist. Once they're healed, they turn back into humans and continue getting adopted by the protagonist.
* The protagonist thinks he's the head of the Batfamily, with Alfred as the second-in-command.
* The blurb may be revised later.
* Inspired by the song “People Are Cats.”
Theme: Never give up fighting back in life.
