sweetface

Evening was soon going to become night and the soft fur underneath his fingers would begin to blend into the sky above. Soft, inaudible whispers escaped the usually mute man’s mouth as he gently stroked the back of a stray, all-black feline. It was a wonder that such a vulnerable creature was surviving in this town but it delighted Angel to no end. The thought of using a furry friend to ease his isolation had crossed his mind before but there were none to be found in a place like Kingstown before now according to his own experience. The sweet moment ended when the cat’s ears perked up and it suddenly leaped from his lap due to approaching footsteps.

Charlee clomped down the street, her boots audible from many yards away. Her style is important to her, but no matter what she’s wearing, she nearly always picks these beat up, steel toed, loud as hell boots to pair with it. Her floral dress clung to her front and puffed up behind her with the wind. She was only making her way to the grocery store for some generic, probably stale Cheetos and sour candy, but was distracted by the black cat running past her. “Oh, shit! That’s good luck! Sweet!” She teetered on her heels, then nearly fell over with surprise at the man nearby. “Christ, I almost shit a brick! What the hell, man?”

Bobbi sighed deeply for a moment before tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear. She shifted on the spot impatiently for a moment before turning to leave, stopping in her tracks before she walked into the other. A smile appearing on her face as she tilted her head to look at the other. She wasn’t feeling the most patient today clearly but she suddenly found the patience to speak with the other. “You look cute today. Did you do something different with your hair?” She complimented the other. 

Charlee just wasn’t in the mood. Granted, they were never in the mood, for anything — except maybe being an asshole or rudely hitting on hot woman things — but today was no exception. So when an unhappy-looking person idled up next to them, they could already smell the stink of their own annoyance hanging in the air. Just before Charlee almost dropped a comment on how ugly their stank face was, they were tripped up by their ego.
