Everything was so wet. And Sora loved it. Laughter fell from his lips as he ran between pedestrians, his bag and clothes covered in droplets of water. Arguably, he should have been soaked. His pants legs certainly were. But his jacket and bag were all varying levels of waterproof and water-resistant, so he could run about in the rain as he so wished.Â
Of course, he had packed an umbrella in his bag for if it were still raining later when he was headed home from work. As it were he had a clean set of dry clothes in his bag, so he didnât mind getting his current clothes wet. Plus, splashing about in puddles with rainboots on was always fun.Â
Though he made sure he only jumped into puddles that were in sidestreets that no one was walking down at the moment. He didnât want to get other people wet if they werenât also splashing about in the rain like he was.
Today he hadnât had a shift at the arcade, which was why he had time to run about like this before he headed down to South Danon for his shift at The Haughty Vixen.
Sora had stopped under a shopâs awning to wipe some of the water from his face and take a breather when a man headed past him, looking miserable underneath what cover his book bag provided.
It didnât even take a moment more for Sora to follow after him, calling out.
âHey mister? Do you need an umbrella?â
He hadnât really been paying attention to his surroundings - it was all too easy to get caught up in his own thoughts when it rained, something he should probably look into - but it was hard to miss the nearest source of laughter.
Of course, noticing and being prepared to interact with were two different things, but Nio had a feeling this would be fine, for some reason. It was probably some aura of good-will, telling him that.
  âAh, forgot mine. Thatâll teach me.â The blond went for one of his more genuine smiles and reached up to wipe rain droplets from his bangs. It was easy to be nice to cheerful people, even when he was in a bad mood.
  âDo you happen to have an extra? I wouldnât want to steal yours when I have no way to return the favor.â

@nioamahaha
Every part of Keith screamed to run as fast as he could from the shop and never turn back. A single glance at the cafe causes shivers to run up his spine and a very unsettling feeling cast over him like a cloud. The reviews of the food and drink at this particular cafe though were beyond extraordinary and seeing as how he himself worked in âthatâ type of cafe, Keith found that he really couldnât judge.Â
He slowly opened the door into the cafe and was greeted by various smells of pastries and coffees and probably something else, maybe the smell of a candle or something? Whatever it was, Keith didnât outright hate it.Â
He stood rather awkwardly at the entrance as his eyes looked around. Was he supposed to seat himself? Would someone come to him? All questions that Keith had no idea how to answer and instead just sort of, waited.Â
Nio was doing his best to wrap up his tables before his shift ended. Switching out servers halfway through a meal left a bad taste in his mouth and so he often found himself working hours past his shift.
He was heading back to the kitchens to check on a dessert when he spotted someone - a customer? - loitering by the doors. Well, that wouldnât do.
  âHello and welcome, Sir!â Nio usually skirted around calling boys âMasterâ, as it usually caused more trouble than he had enough patience to deal with nonviolently.
 âCan I help you?â

Nio had been the witness of many strange and clumsy events, due to the fact that plenty of servers started out a little weak on their feet, and also because of a troublesome past roommate- well.
The point was, heâs seen a lot of things, but some dude falling over himself into some bushes out of nowhere? Now that was both startling and hilarious. He managed to cage the laughter in his chest as he made his way over to the scene of the crime.
   âOh, sir? Are you quite alright?â

Nio firmly believed he didnât deserve his current situation. No doubt people, including but not limited to previously dissatisfied customers, would argue otherwise, would sneer and say Karma was collecting a check, but... well.
It wasnât like it was actually a problem, this annoying, insistent customer, except they were bothering him while he was trying to serve someone else. A rather handsome someone else, too! The nerve of them!
   âSir, please, if you would just sit back down, I am more than willing to assist you once Iâm done with my current table-â and other such phrases were met with Banshee like screeching and even some threats. Of course this kind of thing would happen during his last half-hour.

Nio was damn well aware that listening to news stations about the weather, trusting them with such a minuscule detail of his life, would be his downfall, the end of a kings reign.
Unfortunately, and he grimaced at the thought from under his now-soaked book bag, this would not be the last time he trusted the weather channel and would pay for it. He had accepted this by now. All he could do was pray it didnât get worse before he got home.

     Nio runs extremely cold. Heâs a bag of ice cubes in a flesh bag. The idea that his heart is beating at all is ridiculous. Because of this, he almost always wears a set of socks with his pajamas.

âNo, youâre not helping.â
THINGS IâVE SAID TO MY PUPPY: A STARTER COLLECTION
Nio let out a little huff and rubbed his hands together, warming them up before pressing them against his lips, his head tilted slightly so that his shaggy hair tickled one of his shoulders.
   âI donât see why I canât help - Iâm not physically unable.â He murmured, watching Hound adjust furniture with a critical eye. âBut if you insist, Iâll just tell you âa little more to the leftâ five or six more times, instead of adjusting it myself.â

âI know youâre a blanket snatcher but you canât snatch this blanket.â
THINGS IâVE SAID TO MY PUPPY: A STARTER COLLECTION
Nio frowned exaggeratedly and puffed out his cheeks, allowing his sleepy side to reign free.
   âItâs my blanket, though.â He insists, not tugging on it again - in fact, he lets it go to give Henry a solid poke on the cheek. âBlanket-snatcher yourself, birdbrain.â

     Nio has mild environmental asthma that is triggered when he inhales dust or dirt. Once the âattackâ has started heâll start squeaking on his words and rubbing at his throat, but it wonât always occur to him that heâs having an episode because the pain is mild.

     Heâd never admit this for fear of looking like a hipster but Nio really likes records and cassette tapes - preferring them to CDs. Buying a record player and high-quality cassette player was one of the first things he did after moving into his own place.

Things Iâve Said to my Puppy: A Starter Collection
âMan youâre awkward. I mean, ridiculously beautiful but damn, grow into yourself.â
âWhat the ever-loving heckinâ heck are you eating now?â
âExcuse me sir, you canât read.â
âYou really have that âI donât know how I fit into the worldâ vibe about you.â
âThatâs not polite.â
âYou donât even rise until youâre addressed. Iâm digging your obedience.â
âSit like a gentleman.â
âThatâs not yours, friend.â
âThatâs right. Listen to me and pretend to have an idea of what Iâm talking about. I get that a lot.â
âI didnât pay all this money for you not to be a cuddler.â
âWanna go for a ride?â
âShow me your cop face.â
âIâm not a fan of you licking my teeth. Please donât.â
âOkay; weâre done here.â
âOh no, the postman! How ever will we survive now?!â
âYouâre gonna be rude? Okay, youâve lost the pleasure of my presence.â
âThe piano isnât evil, itâs just unpleasant to hear when Iâm touching it.â
âHey neighborhood watch, whatâs going on with the town today?â
âWe really donât need toâoh weâre peeing in the garden now, thatâs a thing.â
âI draw the line at shredding things.â
âWhat the heck is going on with your teeth?â
âNo, youâre not helping.â
âWeâve all pooped. Itâs your turn.â
âIâm not saying I donât believe you, Iâm just saying I donât see anything.â
âI know youâre a blanket snatcher but you canât snatch this blanket.â
âOh, you want to help?â
âLeave him alone, heâs just trying to take a walk.â
âRight, right, defend your castle.â
âI wish I looked that beautiful having no idea whatâs going on.â
âHow do you get one?â
âThis is not what I asked for.â
