It Started With The Dog

~8~

       Razor POV

             Bennett almost ripped my wrist trying to get me to his room. We stopped in front of a door with a sign that that, word for word, 'Benny's Room! Proceed with Caution.' He opened the door and revealed his room. "Tadaa~" He puffed up his chest, almost like that one kind of bird.  Heis room was big, with piles of things like clothes, books, etc. He had a desk, which seemed to have papers strewn everywhere. his bed was unkempt, but it looked comfortable. And like he had promised, there was a couch under a window.

           "What'cha think?" Bennett had unleashed Klau who ran straight to his bed. "...Messy." Bennett laughed. "Yeah kinda. The couch is over there and I could go get some blankets for Klau if you want?" I shook my head. Bennett nodded. I put my bag on the couch and shooed Klauen off his bed. I sat down on it. Bennett plopped down next to me. "What do you wanna do?" Had he forgotten the time? "Sleep, a lot." Bennett laughed. "Oh yeah, here, I'll go get you some blankies," As soon as he said that, he coughed and turned. "Uh, I mean blankets."

             I laughed a little and went over to Klau, who was laying by the couch. I sat there and start petting her. About halfway through, I realized his room had a subtle smell of chrysanthemums, which was nice, though I had no idea where it was coming from, as I didn't see any kind of air freshener anywhere. I shrugged it off and continued petting Klau, who was drooling all over the carpet. 

             Bennett eventually came back, changed into some pj's, with two or three blankets. I watched as he arranged the on the couch before taking a pillow from his bed. "Here you go, that should work," He put his hands on his hips. "Thanks." He smiled. "No prob, You okay with me turning the lights off?" I nodded and he clicked the lamp off. As I was laying there, I found out his pillow smelled like him too. Well duh, it's his pillow. I didn't mind, and I'm pretty sure it actually helped me fall asleep as quickly as I did. 

            I woke up, extremely confused as it didn't seem like I was in my own house, then I remembered I was in Bennett's house. I got up and walked quietly to check if Beny was asleep, and he was. I smiled at the sight of him drooling all over his pillow, taking some clothes out of my bag, I found the bathroom and went to change.

            I came back and Bennett was still asleep, but this time Klau was sitting by the bed, resting her head on it and seemingly waiting for him. I laughed internally and after realizing it was 10:46, went to wake him up. I shook him a little and he rolled over. I sighed. "Benny, up." His eyes blinked open. "..Razor? What are doing in my house?" I took a breath. "Kicked out." He stretched a bit. "Oh yeah! Wait what time is it?" "10:50." I quickly got out of the way as he jumped out of bed. "I'M GONNA BE LATE AGAIN!" He rushed out of the room, presumably to change.

           I leashed Klau again and made sure she didn't shed in her sleep since Bennet told me to be careful about that. I gave her some food and waited for Bennett. (A/N I almost put 'my Bennett', but it's not time for that yet. :D) I texted him to pass the time.

raz: What late for?

bennyboi: Work! It's Tuesday, and I have the morning shift with Xiangling.

raz: Who?

bennyboi: Xiangling is one of my friends. Oh yeah, are you gonna come today with Klauen?

raz: I walk with you.

bennyboi: Perfect! Fischl told me you have a table that's yours apparently.

raz: oh

              I waited a few more minutes and Bennett came back for his bag. We walked out together and he began explaining to me a whole bunch of things. How Fischl's name was Amy, but she changed it, and how Chingyun and Xingqiu liked each other but didn't admit it yet. "There was this one time they bet on whether I'd fall in love with Klau or you, I was so confused," I blinked. "..Me?" He laughed. "Yeah, but you're probably not like that, it's cool."

           The rest of the walk was pretty quiet, since what was brought up practically killed any conversation. I started to think. Was I like that? I mean, it definitely wasn't a bad thing if I was, I just didn't know. As I thought about myself, another question popped up.

            Was he like that?
