Chapter 2
On that sunny day...
While the child from the orphanage was busy in their bedroom..
There was someone that worked in a shop. That said shop was non other know has the Potion shop.
The owner of that place is a demon. Despise he look like a humanoid cat. He is a tall and neutral person. Meaning that he can be a good or a bad person. But sadly... Even if he can be a good person. He does exactly know how to show his affection to someone.
For his mother he would sometimes hug, but It's rare. Or even when he is around his little sister that he can see only once a year. With his brothers... Well their are all busy with works. But when he see them, he is happy.
When it's with his friends, he would give a pat on the head or on the shoulder. Nothing more to show his affection. Somehow some understand, some don't.
Right now he was working on an order for a certain client. And it's only rare for him to have a person to come in his shop for a request.
He sigh has he took a glance at the clock pinned on the wall. It was 10 in the morning. He shake his head and look back at his work."I better not take a break..."Just after saying that. His phone ring. He grunted and take his phone out from his lab coat. He answer the call and put the phone between his shoulder and his ears to hold it."What?"he asked while working carefully.
"Heyyyy booone!" He sigh not liking that tone coming from his best friend. "Hey Tristana... What do you want this morning?" He grab an ustensil has he wait for an answer.
He heard her breathe before she speak again."Can you come with me to pay a visit at the orphanage please?" He pause has he stop his movement."Why do you want to go there?"He asked seriously."W-Well uh.... Because I want to see the kids there?"He roll his non existed pupil and put down what he hold in his hands."Tris... It's not only to see the kids. You want to adopt one right?"he said a bit annoyed. He then take his phone and properly hold it near his ear."Does your husband knows about it?"He ask has he could hear her breath stop suddenly."Well... I have to tell you something. With Benicio, we had try to have a child by doing our private stuff. But... Every time we do it. I wait at least for a month and... Do a pregnancy test to see if it's positive and It's not. So me and him have made a decision. It's to adopt a child. But the problem is... Benicio is always busy right now. And the only person I could trust to be with me is you." He had listen to her explain the situation and he understand why she choose him to give her company for the orphanage.
He goes out of his work room and goes to the kitchen."Yaya... You know that a demon like me could scare the kids there? Do you even think how they could feel if a demon pass there?"He remarked. He heard her sigh."I know Bone but... You are not an aggressive person. And like Benicio you both look uh... Like nice person? And with those cat ears you have, i'm sure they would be happy than being afraid!"she beamed happily. The compliment she said about his ears make him blush a bit."You really think that?"He take a mug out from the cupboard."Of course! You are also my best friend! Doesn't best friend should agree to help your best friend when they need it?" she said with a bit of childish. He smirk a bit has he prepare the coffee."Yes. That's what they should do. But-"he got cut off by her."Then it's decided! Tomorrow you come with me! Oh and be prepare! I'll be coming to get you! See ya~!" then she hung up. Leaving a repeated beep to the side of Bone phone.
He sigh and hung up too."Damn... She got me again."He look down at his coffee starting to be made from the machine.
He look up at the window, and could see the people outside, some walking on the street, some talking with friends, some being workers that welcome costumers in their work place, and of course parents having a nice moment with their children.
He grip a bit the counter made of woods with his clawless hands. Soon leaving a mark when he let go of it. He realise how everyone could be joyful this morning. Yet, he was the only one not being happy. First he had to finish today his work; And then he had to go tomorrow to an orphanage with his best friend.
He soon heard the beep of the coffee machine. He look down to see it ready. He turn it off and grab the kettle and serve himself his warm coffee. "Well time to get back to work..." He said sadly has he put down the kettle and goes to his work room with his mug.
