Tangled

The morning isn’t cold. But it’s not warm either. No real indication if the rest of the day is going to give into the bright sun or if the feathering of clouds will become more prominent. Either way you’ll take the slight chill underneath the light weight jacket. As the sip slides down your throat, you feel the leash grow taunt and grin, watching as your dog stand at attention at the people passing by. One or two of them stop to pet them, a few skirt away. You try and not let that bother you because you know your baby is the sweetest. It’s just the stigma. 

After the generous affection of a few strangers, they settle back down next to you and you work on finishing the last few sips of coffee in your cup. You’re thankful as hell that the coffee shop opens up as early as it does or the early morning walks would wreack more havoc on your body than it already does. Though as the years has passed with your dog, it’s getting easier. 

Their cold snout presses into your arm and you grin. “I know, almost done, bubba. I promise.”

They settle their head on your lap, eyes blinking up at you to urge you to finish. You have been sitting for a while but you just wanted a couple extra minutes with the breeze on your cheeks. Soon there are no more dregs that can slide down the innards of the cup to your tongue and you have to call it quits. 

The trashcan’s not too far from the outside tables and in the short work, you can hear the twinkle of more dog tags. The sounds will always cause your ears to prick up, accustomed now to keeping an ear out for your baby. There’s laughter too--deep and a little rumbly. A couple barks pierce the air and as you turn around, you see a man not too far with his own dog. He’s tall, tanned with a hoodie up over his head. His dog is tiny, fluffy and mostly gray. Not the combination you would’ve expected. 

You call out for your dog to chill just a little. Thankfully the man and his dog don’t seem alarmed. You don’t want to offset their journey but as you pass the dogs turn into each other. “Oh no,” you whisper, noticing the leashes getting tangled. “C’mon bubba,” you plead. 

He tones down just a little but the damage is done. “I’m sorry,” you rush out. 

And as both of you go to find the appropriate leash, your heads meet. It’s not a pretty kind of pain, it’s sharp and radiates from the side of your head.  “Oh my god, I’m sorry,” the man rushes out. His hand not on the leash reaches up. “You okay?”

With only a small grimace, you nod. “Yeah, great minds think alike, huh?”

His grin is bright. “Yeah I guess so.” He turns back to the mess of dog leashes. “Okay, Duke, let’s settle for a second.”

You let him bend down first and focus on keep your dog at bay while he untangles the leashes. “Sorry again. I hope your little man is okay?”

“Yeah, he’s pretty tough,” the man chuckles, tucking the small dog to his chest. You do your damnedest not to melt at the sight of his affection for his dog. “Right, Duke? You’ve been around the block once or twice.” When he turns his dazzling smile back to you, he points to the coffee shop. “Going in or leaving?”

“Uh, just leaving actually.”

“Well, do you mind if I at least get you breakfast to go or something. To make up for almost knocking you out?”

“You really don’t have too,” you counter. “It’s fine.”

“You sure? It’s not a problem at all.” You open your mouth to interject but he’s talking again. “What’ll you’ll have? Muffin? They have killer muffins.” 

You sigh. There’s no sign of him giving up so you turn down to your dog. They’re content to stand next to you, attention taking in the cars zooming by. “Cofee shop take two? What do you say, bubba?” They turn to look at you at the affectionate nickname. “Sure,” you tell the man. “I guess.”

There’s his big smile again, with all this teeth. He holds the door open for you. “Name’s Calum, by the way. In case you ever want to tell the story of the man that gave ya a good size goose egg on the ol’ noggin.”

You can’t help but laugh, offering your own name. “In case you ever want to tell the story about the person that had the sweetest but biggest dog that got tangled up in your leash.”

[ Mochizuki is sitting in front of her computer, chatting with someone in her pitch black room, the only source of light being the monitor. The sound of the keyboard echoes in the room.]

[Mochizuki is trying to make her way trough the crowds of salarymen that are exiting the train and making their way home. Meanwhile, Nikita is leaning on a wall, texting her friend to move her ass faster.]

Nikita: Took you a while, huh?

Mochizuki: Oh shut it! You have no idea what's in there! I-I wonder how I didn't suffocate with so many people inside!

Nikita: Fufu, glad you didn't!

[Mochizuki throws her friend a cold glare.]

Nikita: A-anyways...Let's get going!

[ Nikita starts skating ahead of her friend and Mochizuki powers on her electric scooter, yelling at the older girl to stop moving so fast and to wait for her. After searching around for a place, they found a tiny cafè with no customers.]

Nikita(pointing at her skates): Think I can go in like this?

Mochizuki: I... I don't know but if we get kicked out because of you, you're the one paying next time.

Nikita: Deal.

[They open the door and a tiny bell rings.]

Mochizuki: Good evening! Can I have a...uhh??

[At the counter is a lady that doesn't even try to hide her disgust when seeing the two. She lazily puts her phone down and clicks her tongue.]

Lady(yelling at someone in the back): COME GET THESE GIRLS!! LET ME TAKE A BREAK ALREADY!

[A waitress comes running with a worried look on her face to see what's going on.]

Lady: What are you staying there for?? Go!

[The waitress just sighs and goes to greet the two girls that were left speechless by the lady's behavior.]

Waitress(whispering): Please excuse us...

Nikita: Huh, that's a warm welcome.

Waitress(ashamed): ...

Mochizuki: She meant to say that it's no big deal! Right?

Nikita: Yeah...Right.

Waitress: What can I help you with?

Mochizuki: Oh, I would like some cream puffs and she would like some chocolate chip cookies. Thank you.

Nikita: And a cup of cofee.

Mochizuki(whispering to Nikita): What?!? At this hour of the day??

Nikita: ...

Waitress: Please take a seat. I will be back with your order in a few moments.

[ They both take a seat at a table near the window.]

Nikita(putting a menu in front of her mouth and whispering): How old do you think she is?

Mochizuki: How do you expect me to guess?? Her hair is freacking gray but she looks like she's in her early twenties. Have you ever seen someone that looks both old and young?

Nikita: Yeah! My boss!

Mochizuki(shivers): Crap! Don't mention her!

Nikita:Fufufu~ Oh she's coming!

[The waitress puts the plates down on the table.]

Mochizuki and Nikita: Thank you! :D

Waitress: Enjoy your meal...

[Both of them munch on their sweets but stop to listen to the conversation between the lady and the waitress.]

Lady: I'm headin' out! Take care of the place for me!

Waitress: But...that's not my job...

Lady: I'm busy tonight and I'm not canceling my plans to help you out!

[She slams the door and the bell rings.]

Waitress:*sighs*

Mochizuki: Niki?

Nikita: Yeah?

Mochizuki: I'm gonna help her.

Nikita: It's none of our business, Mochizuki.

Mochizuki(shouting): MISS!! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

Waitress(woken up from a dream): M-me?

My name is Ranpo...

Mochizuki(coming closer):Ranpo-san, lemme help you with that!

Ranpo: Oh no! Please, you don't have to! You are the customers and I....and I...

Nikita(finnaly rising from her chair): Geez, quit the rambling... (to Mochizuki)I'm gonna mop the tiles while you clean the tables, k?

Mochizuki(saluting): Yes ma'am!

Ranpo: ･ﾟ･(｡>▪︎<｡)･ﾟ･

[The three girls start cleaning the cafè and finish up in no time. Ranpo closes down the place and they decide to walk toghether until their ways part.]

Ranpo: You were so kind to help me out there....I am very grateful...

Mochizuki: Hey, don't worry! It's only natural.(staring at Nikita): Right...Niki?

Nikita:Yup! :3.

Ranpo: If only there were more people like you ...

Nikita: Oh, man! That would be cool!

Mochizuki(hitting Nikita in the arm): Shut it!

All three of them:*giggle*

Mochizuki: Hey, Ranpo-san, maybe we can meet again sometimes?

Ranpo(with a tiny smile on her face): I would love to...

[They reach a crossroad so the girls are forced to say goodbye to each other.]

Mochizuki: Ranpo-san, before you go, can I ask you something?

Ranpo: Sure thing.

Mochizuki: Promise you won't get mad?

Ranpo: Pinky promise.

Mochizuki: How old are you?

Ranpo: I'm 20.

Mochizuki(turning to Nikita): HAHA I told youuu!! Give me the money !

Nikita: Fufufu! Only if you catch me!

[Nikita starts skating away and Mochizuki is chasing her, both of them saying goodbye to Ranpo while she waves the two of them from afar.]

[ After chasing each other for a while, they end up in some weird alleyways, believing that the station is right behind the corner. In the distance they notice a group of men doing some shady business, so they turn in the opposite direction.]

Shady guy 1: HEY! YOU TWO!!

Nikita(whispering): Crap!(yelling): We were just leaving!

[The second guy takes out a knife from his pocket and points it to the two girls.]

Shady guy 2: Hehe, you think we're gonna let you leave so easily?

???:Well, I think you will~.

[The gang turns around only to see a misterious woman standing and the end of the alleyway. She carries a oil-paper umbrella, despite it being useless at night. With silent steps, she comes closer to them.]

Shady guy 3(taking a box cutter out): Stay there or you'll get it!

???:Hmmm...come to think of it...Our battle would not be so fair if you're fighting with those. Are you sure you want to do this?

Shady guy 1: BWAHAHA! Show us what you got!

[The three men watch the woman in terror as she pulls away the umbrella's handle, revealing a large sword.]

???: Are you still that brave~?
