The past week has been busy to say the least. After the meeting with Miss Dunkin, I began both studying the caring for neko's book she had given me and also hanging out with Finnick, as the book stated that doing so would help strengthen our bond together. Nonetheless, I also had a bunch of work, fixing bugs in the apps I created, working on designs for new apps or updating the older ones and having conference calls with those who I made the apps for. Not only that, I had to leave the house quite often to speak with potential new clients who are interested in my skills in programming. It was an exact week from when I spoke with Miss DUnkin, being a Friday that I returned home quite late, 11:30PM to be exact. I had left around seven in the morning, leaving Finnick some breakfast and expecting to be home around five at least only to be kept in conferences and interviews with potential clients. All in all I was tired and ready for bed, and entering the front door, and putting my jacket on the coat rack I noticed Finnick standing in the entryway, an expression of worry and distraught being seen.
"Wh-where have you been M-Myaster," FInnick asked, his voice trembling a bit and sounded he was on the verge of tears. Hearing and seeing this state I walked over and patted his head.
"Working and work took longer than I wished," I said, feeling a bit bad for being gone so long, Finnick soon after hugging me tight sniffling a bit.
"I....I thought you,........you left and......," He started to say, as I comforted him. I never thought he would grow this attached so quickly, though I believe it is from giving him a home and the bonding work I have done this past week. Regardless, I felt much worse seeing his reaction for being gone for so long, promising myself I would never let this happen again as Finnick hugged me for what felt like half an hour before he let go, wiping some tears away.
"I am sorry I was gone for so long," I started, rubbing his head, "I promise I won't let thisn happen again, now best we get to bed, we have a busy day tomorrow."
"Busy.....day tomorrow," Finnick said, sniffling a little still as he spoke.
"Yep, got to get the rooms for your two new friends ready, got notified today they should be here end of next week," I said with a soft smile, soon starting to head to my bedroom.
"Who are my..... new friends exactly," he asked, reminding me I had never told him who was coming just that they were coming at some point.
"Oh, yeah, ummm they are like you except of the dog variety," I replied turning back to him, FInnick looking to me with a bit of surprise and a bit of nervousness.
"R-really, are they......nice," he asked, as I nodded.
"From what I have been told they are, and I hope you guys can get along, though I wished I had some time to adjust having more than one person living here before getting more," I said, the latter bit being said under my breath, "regardless, let's get to bed, I feel like I could pass out any moment." Saying that, Finnick nodded and made his way to his room, me following behind and going to mine, changing into my nightwear, flopping onto the bed and instantly falling asleep. I slept like a rock and when I woke up, I felt something on my back, groaning a little knowing what it was.
"Finnick, you can't keep doing this every morning," I said sleepily, feeling Finnick moving slightly as he sleepily whined.
