Work Text:
Caleb and Chibi Clara slept side by side in their bed, untroubled smiles resting on their faces as the Isles' sun bloomed forth in the sky, a new day filtering through the couple's curtains and onto their faces.
As they gently stir, the two turn their faces towards each other at the same time.
When they wake up shortly, their eyes meet, and serene smiles immediately envelop their lips.
Caleb, leaning forward, placed a soft kiss on Clara's petite forehead, the chibi witch giggling softly at the sweet affection.
...
When it's time for Caleb and Clara to get ready for the day, the song "LOVE ATTACK" begins to play.
Clara, dressed in her everyday attire, watches with keen interest as her husband attempts to find the perfect maid cosplay dress for work by trying on multiple dresses in the mirror.
With each dress that he models, he spins around to get Clara's opinion on them, and she reacts favorably to every one, her eyes glowing in delight at the uniforms.
This causes Caleb to chuckle softly.
Of course, the blonde is unable to wear every dress to work, so he decides to initiate a magical girl-esque transformation where he becomes surrounded by bright pink light, and by the end of it, he strikes an adorable pose.
Seeing her husband now adorned in a pink maid dress with a white apron followed by bows, cuffs, a headpiece, and other cute accessories that match his outfit, all the love in Clara's heart for the cute costume goes straight to her eyes as she lights up in approval.
Caleb proceeds to give a lighthearted laugh at Clara's reaction once more, as this was the attire he wore to work every day.
...
Once Caleb and Clara leave their cottage, they set off into the forest, where they arrive at a cutesy pink castle with a golden spire that has a heart on top of it.
The castle has a domed red roof with a pink outer court and heart-shaped rose windows, along with heart-shaped stones protruding from the walls.
Standing on the left of the castle is a nearby pink plaque on a stand that has a heart on the top center of it with the words 'Café Clawthorne' spelled inside the heart.
Approaching the café's door, Caleb reaches behind his back and pulls out a bright red key with white polka dots and a strawberry-shaped head.
Inserting the key into the heart-shaped keyhole, he twists it once, unlocking the door.
Clara and him step inside and start performing the necessary opening tasks for the café such as cleaning, baking, and setting up dessert displays.
...
At noon, Café Clawthorne is experiencing a surge in business with a large line outside the door.
Inside the café's interior, Caleb serves customers at tables with the sweets and desserts that they ordered.
With speedy and enthusiastic customer service, as well as a great big genuine smile, Caleb brightens the room and brings forth a smile to all the witches and demons he sees and interacts with.
An elderly witch is served with a slice of crab apple cake at her table, while a two-tongued demon receives a parfait cake with cream and thawberries.
Vanilla thrice cream in two steel bowls is presented to two witchlets who are at a table with their mother.
Both ice creams are sprinkled with rainbow sprinkles by Caleb, who then pulls out a squeeze bottle filled with melted chocolate from behind his back.
The blonde squeezes out a steady stream of chocolate onto the ice creams by applying the right amount of pressure to the bottle's body.
Meanwhile, Clara is happily managing the register by herself.
...
Caleb smiles and waves goodbye to the last customer, who leaves the café at sunset before closing the door and releasing a tired sigh.
Although the blonde enjoyed serving up sweets and smiles, serving them from 10 to 6 made him exhausted.
His legs and arms felt heavy like lead as he took a seat at the nearest table, and before he knew it, he saw a blood-red cupcake topped with vanilla frosting and crunchy and chewy candies shaped like bile sacs pushed in front of him.
Taking his gaze off of the cupcake, Caleb looks forward and sees his pocket-sized wife standing on the table as she gestures at the cupcake in a 'ta da!' motion, her expression jovial.
Caleb gasped quickly and softly.
He then chuckled, genuinely surprised and amazed by his adorable Clara.
Because of her size, she usually required his help when baking, so seeing that she made something sweet on her own was impressive to him.
The bile sac candies also reminded him that Bile Sac Day was nearing soon.
Clara proceeded to pull out a mini fork from behind her back, which caused Caleb to grin gaily as he reached behind his back and pulled out a regular-sized fork.
As the couple began to dig into the cupcake, their eyes met, and love-struck smiles crossed their lips as their hearts pounded.
At that point, the song came to a close.
