((Mind me and my drabbling I just want angst with a happy ending))
((There in there early 20s and it's the 90s))
All tom could hear was the buzzing florescent lights of the supermarket. Mindlessly dragging his snacks over the self check-out counter. It was funny really; it was 3 am and he was buying himself snacks, alone. He looked around at his surroundings, a few night owls like him and workers desperately waiting to go home. 'Been there' he thought to himself, empathizing with the workers while paying for his snacks and energy drinks taking his groceries to his car.
He looked on the dash of his car; trash and crumpled papers of failed business pitches everywhere. He groaned and shoved the key in the lock cylinder, turning the key and starting the car.
It would be breakfast soon at his motel so maybe he could stay awake just long enough for that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He started to chug the energy drink in his hand after parking his car beside the parking lot. It tasted good and familiar, he lightly wagged his tail and pushed the the button on the elevator to take him to the third floor.
He hated his crappy motel room and he hated his life even more. He was a young man straight out of business school, thrusted into the dark and unapologetic city life. He needed a blessing at this point to get any money.
He put on his reading glasses and waited for his eyes to get adjusted, he cracked his fingers and got to work on his computer, looking for affordable rentable places.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He rubbed his eyes seeing the sun peak over the horizon. He leaned in his chair, there was a tinge of pain in his heart, hearing absolutely nothing around him. Not a tv, not a buzzing light, not another voice but his own thoughts.
He changed out of his bum clothes and got into his everyday-professional suit. Looking down at his bed he'd like nothing more but to flop on his bed and let the rough mattress lull him to sleep; but he had work to do.
Tom felt angry with himself, he was a smart young man, why can't he get his own business?? Then he remembers it not his fault, it's the corrupt and hatred worlds fault. If he ever becomes a big business man, he promised himself he'd be better and more kinder than all of the others.
He got out into the streets and it wasn't as busy as it usually was. Just a few animals out in the streets.
He looked around at the shop strips and the beach in the background, it was moments like these in the morning that makes the city a little more tolerable. He was torn on whether to just go to the bar and spend all his money or go to the rental place and get rejected... again.
He stopped in front of a small furniture building with a '4 rent' sign in front of it. He slowly and cautiously opened the door which triggered a bell to ring right above it "hel...hello??" He asked, looking around in the quite empty furniture shop. He heard what sounded like a man angrily speaking Japanese in another room.
A lengthy thin guy around his age stormed out of the room, throwing curses and middle fingers to the other person in the room. Hearing a door slam from that room the red haired guy ran a hand through his hair and finally turned to Tom. Tom got a good look at him now; a fox guy- no- he was speaking Japanese so he must be kitsune- with a red hoodie and black sweatpants, very pale with freckles dotting his face. Tom felt a tad blush on his face looking at the taller man.
The kitsunes face went to pissed to relaxed seeing Tom standing there. He wiped his sweaty hands on his hoodie and reached out for a handshake "uhhh sorry about that hehe...didn't know you was coming so early...". The kitsune gave a friendly smile, wheezing out of breath from that fight. Tom looked worried seeing a fresh bruise forming on his cheek and accepted the hand shake.
The kitsune noticed tom staring at him "oh!! This!! It's uhh... 'misunderstanding' with the landlord ya now??" He said sitting down on a dining chair and ushering Tom to do the same.
((This was going somewhere but it just left my mind so have this anyone's free to finish it ig))
