I had woken up from the couch that i had been sleeping on for months now,as my new friend Ccino had been kind enough to allow me to stay in his residence,

As long as I didn't mind his cats and cleaned up after myself.

I sat myself up and pet one of the smaller cats that had approached me,pulling my sleeves down as i did so,

Glancing around the dimly lit living room and to the other cats lazing around the area.

I moved to get up from the couch and headed to the kitchen,reading the time as I entered;'10:13 am' it read,'huh,it seems I'm up earlier than usual.' i said to myself,

I had walked to the fridge and pulled out some ingredients to start cooking some breakfast for me and my housemate,knowing that he would be up sometime soon,

And I was right,as I looked over to the doorway when I heard the latter shuffle himself into the kitchen.

We shared a glance at each other when i noticed just how pale the boy was,and how much more exhausted his gaze looked;i turned and walked over to him,feeling his forehead before ushering him back to his room to lay back down,'he was sick,' i told myself 'i should pick up some medicine when i leave today.'

I helped him lay down,him having put up some resistance and not wanting to lay down,but I got him to lay down under his blanket after a few moments;letting him know that I'll bring him some breakfast once it's done.

I had gone back to the kitchen once Ccino had agreed to stay in bed,going back to cooking up breakfast once I got there;once everything was cooking in a pan on the stove,I checked my phone to see if I actually had things to do today and alas,I did,

I had a few requests from my clients who promised to pay me well,to which I had accepted their requests.

I had finished cooking after 10 minutes,plating the food and carrying one plate back to Ccino,who had fallen back to sleep by now,

I quietly set the plate on his bedside table and tucked him in,going and locking his window before leaving his bedroom,closing his door as I headed back to the kitchen;grabbing my own plate from the kitchen and sitting myself at the table,eating my breakfast in comfortable silence.

I finished my food fairly quickly and set the dirty plate in the sink,going and combing through the house to make sure all the windows and extra doors where locked before i got changed and got ready to leave for 'work',

I sighed to myself before chuckling,sarcastically telling the cats to guard the house as I exited,locking the door after myself.

I checked my messages before heading off in the direction I needed to go,just nearly missing a figure ducking around an alley corner far too close to the house for my comfort,but I shrugged it off and teleported myself to my first victim.

I was instructed met up with the first victim and killed them in the way my client had told me,by bleeding them out,and sent them the picture of the victim before meeting up with them and receiving my pay;this was the same rinse and repeat routine i followed for the next few hours,until i no longer received any messages,which only happened at around '4:30 pm'.

I had gone and cleaned myself up before I headed off to a nearby store,just now remembering that I was going to pick up some medicine for my friend;which I did,and quickly headed home afterwards,making sure the bottle was in my pocket as I did so.

I arrived back to the house after a bit,taking notice that one of the windows had been cracked open,'huh,i coulda sworn i locked that one,did i forget to?' I said to myself;shrugging it off as I unlocked the door and entered the house,almost immediately noticing that all the cats in the area seemed agitated.

I went to comb through the house to make sure that everything in the house was how i left it,only to be jumped by a few people that had broken in through that window that had been cracked open,

Of course the fight didn't last long,as after I killed one the other two fled back through the window that they had once entered from.

Of course this didn't make me feel any better about it,as I had remembered that I had left my sleeping friend's door unlocked and just hoped that they hadn't hurt him in the time they were in the house.

I went to check and see if he was doing okay,sighing in relief when I saw that he was still asleep. ''Wow,he slept through that?He must've been exhausted.'I said to myself as I walked over to him,sitting down beside him and giving him a shake,

A small groan left him when I continued to shake him,eventually leading to him waking up and sitting up beside me.

I had to talk him into taking his medicine,and while he was doing that I went and heated up his food;bringing it back to him and watching him eat quietly.

I awoke to the sound of my alarm,it was blaring at max volume after all,

I forced myself up into an upright position,flinching quite hard once I felt the cold air from my broken window.

I dragged myself out of bed,being quick to get dressed in my day clothes before the cold got the better of me;pulling my coat over my chest as I exited my room,going to grab my wallet and phone then head to work,

I shoved my items into my coat pockets before I headed off to go do my work,already quite tired upon thinking about it.

I headed off to a more desolate au as the most recent message i had received instructed,and seeked out a very specific someone,

Of course,this is my job as a hitman to seek out and kill people as to how my clients want me too.

As I found my target I readied a piece of rope I was instructed to use,and one I was allowed entry into the house;I strangled them to death,them having put up little to no fight against me.

I sighed as I laid the person down,gently setting them back down onto the couch they were previously on,taking a picture of the poor person afterwards,

I sent the picture to the person that had asked it of me as i left the place,going to go meet them in our promised meeting place.

That didn't last all too long though,as they offered up another victim for double the pay as the first;

I stared in disbelief before reluctantly agreeing to their offer,groaning as I headed back into the town and seeking out the victim,

As I found them,I started up a conversation.

Again this didn't last too long,as i had grabbed a sharp object and stabbed the person multiple times,watching them bleed out,

Taking a picture once they had passed and sending it to my client,finally heading back to our promised meeting place,

I arrived quite quickly and awaited the arrival of my client,tapping my foot impatiently.

I glanced around my surroundings as i waited,taking note that the area was quite bright and flourished with various shrubs and flowers,

It was also a bit windy here too,but was warmer than my home;which I'm grateful for,

I looked over in the direction of footsteps,noticing my client coming with the company of two people.

I sighed as I realized what my 'client' was going to try and do,as it seemed that they were not going to pay up the fee that they had previously promised me,

I wasnt really listening when they grabbed me a bit,albeit I believe they said my name for 'Dust' was quite hard to miss in a sentence.

I groaned a bit and grabbed at the man's arms that had grabbed me,steadying my magic and impaling him on the spot,ending his life almost immediately,

I looked over to the other two that had just witnessed one of their group members pass on. I pulled out the exact same object I had used earlier and used it to engage a fight against the two still standing there;I ended up the victor,receiving very minimal injuries.

Once I had made sure that they were not going to move,I knelt down and raided them of their wallets,my new form of payment.

I stood back up and stretched,freezing once i felt something warm and fuzzy rub up against my leg;I looked down to it and relaxed,noticing that it was only a cat,

'But..a cat?' I asked myself 'how'd it get all the way out here?'I reached down and pulled that cat up and into my arms,reading out the tag on its collar.

I glanced around before heading to the address listed on the collar,becoming quite confused upon seeing that the address lead me right to a cafe,

I took a deep breath as I entered the cafe,setting the cat down and allowing it to run off.

It didn't take long for the sudden smell of pancakes to hit me,my stomach rumbling once i registered it;i then realized that i haven't eaten breakfast,so,i decided to go sit myself at the counter to get something to eat while i was here,

I tapped at the counter for a few moments before another customer handed me a menu,as they didn't need to use it anymore.

I read through the menu for a bit before i heard someone,

"Excuse me,sir?"the voice had said,sounding a bit strained but gentle to the ears anyways;I had looked up to the person talking to me,noticing that their name tag had read 'Ccino'.

"Have you decided as to what you will be ordering?"Ccino had asked,holding out a notepad as to write my order down i presumed,

"Ah yes..can i get an order of pancakes,please?"I answered the boy,who promptly wrote it down,hurrying off to go ready my order after I told him that would be all,

It didn't take too long for him to return with my order,placing it down on the counter in front of me.

I stayed quite close to close,the cafe was much more quiet now as opposed to the bustle from earlier in the day.

I was one of the last in the building,the others being the sole worker and a few remaining customers,

I had conversed with the worker as he did what he needed to do for the day,quickly becoming acquainted with the other.

I was a bit surprised when the boy approached me with some bandages,offering to patch me up from the injuries that were surprisingly still bleeding,hours after they were inflicted.

His hands were soft and gentle as he cleaned and patched my scratches,how he did so reminded me of a mother tending to her child,
