A Stray

Why help?

I sigh as I'm walking threw the streets looking for who to steal from as I suddenly smell something delicious. "Hmmm" I say as I looked around to find the smell and started following the guy from a distance who had a bag with really good smelling food in. As the man puts his food down to open the door, I begin running up and grabbing the food away but before I can run the man sighed and looked at me. " if you want the food you can have some just ask instead of stealing it." As he says that I freeze and turn around to look at the guy. He has black hair that seems to sit on his shoulders and bags under his eyes, he looks really tired. I feel kinda bad now... " take it, just make sure too stop by sometimes if you need something." The mans says as he walks into his house and closes the door making me stare at it with wide eyes before I sigh and walk away. 'maybe I will come by sometimes' I think too myself as I walk back to my 'home' and eat my food before throwing the garbage away and going too sleep for the day.

"Damn" I say as I knock on the door. It opens and the man I met a few weeks back opens it. He stares for a moment with slightly widen eyes before sighing and opening the door more to tell me too come in. " Sit on the couch, I'll get the first aide kit." The man sighs walking into the house. As I walk in and close the door behind me I can see how nice the house is but am quickly reminded why I came here and look for the couch in the house. As I turn the corner I find the couch and sit on it as I look around the living room while waiting for the man too come back in. 'Maybe this was a mistake, I shouldn't burden this man with my problems.' I thought and as I was about the stand up I heard a voice say "sit back down I'm taking care of your injuries before you even think about leaving." The voice says sternly but lazily as the man comes infront of me and rolls up my sleeves, opens the kit, and begins to patch up my wounds as I stare at his face blinking.

"There." The man says as he closed the kit and put it on the coffee table in front of me. " stay here for a second." He tells me as I stiffened up as he walked away. Once he came back he had two mugs and handed one too me. " here, do you like coffee?" He said as he sat on the couch with me. I take a little sip before humming as a yes. We sat in silence before the kind man spoke up. " well I have too get to work." He said as he glanced at the clock and sighed. " if you want too stay here you can or whatever just don't make a mess, and if you decide too leave make sure you visit sometimes." I looked at the man with wide eyes as he just walked away like he wasn't saying a stranger could stay in his house. As the man left the room to I assume get ready for work, I noticed the kitchen was behind me and walked Into it. I placed my mug into the sink and washed it as thanks and walked to the front door and walked out without saying anything and left with closing the door behind behind me, thinking 'I think I'll visit again sometime'
