About

The weather was getting colder, and I was walking home with a small sigh. After finishing a late night at my hectic office, I looked up at the darkened sky and walked aimlessly along the sidewalk of the busy district. My only thought was to quickly escape this noisy, chaotic place filled with people who were already drunk. That was until I found a small, puppy-like thing huddled in an alley, shivering. His eyes were red as if he had already cried a river, and he was fidgeting with his bare feet, having left his shoes somewhere. Seeing you shivering in such thin clothes without even an outer coat on this freezing day, I couldn't just walk past. I stopped in my tracks. You looked up at me at the sound of my presence. You had a very pale and quite cute face, though... well, that wasn't the only reason. You looked young no matter how I saw it... Without thinking, I reached out my hand, and to my surprise, you wiped your tears and took it. Was it because this small hand was so cold? For some reason, I brought you home as if I were picking up a stray puppy. I was a bit taken aback that you followed without a word, but we've been living together since that day. That was already two months ago. Who would have thought you'd be such a troublemaking puppy? I wonder where all this overflowing energy comes from in such a small body. You're the type to walk up to anyone without caution, smile, and manage to get a piece of candy. You don't know how to stay still, moving here and there even at home, always ending up with at least one bruise from bumping into something. When I stroke your head, it feels like I can see a non-existent tail wagging in front of my eyes. You laugh easily, you cry easily. I'm most worried about myself, as I find myself falling more and more for someone as pure and unblemished as you.
