The Backpacker (Inochi X Reader)

Inochi X Reader Chapter 1D

[Perspective change: Second Person]

　Running on the roof tops in the early sun, there he was. Inochi's living conditions has him having to teach himself how to navigate the crowded, tall roofed buildings like the one in Yamitsuku. A town hidden within the mountains, not too far from a large urban city.

　Inochi eventually feels the strain in his lungs and legs, and stood along the roof of a small building. He rest his dormant, mouthful, BackPack on the ground, while he does the same. Just as Inochi stops, Noppo appears infront of him, as though Noppo was waiting for Inochi's eventual stop.

　Noppo looks around, curiously. When Noppo peaked his eye-less head beyond the corner, there you were, Laying on the floor, asleep. Noppo takes a closer look, his shadow covers your body. Noppo walks back, and taps Inochi's shoulder. Ah, there it was. In Inochi's hands was a cigarette, it would appear he's trying to smoke.

　Noppo caught him searching for anything he could light the match with. But as the circumstances have it, Inochi has no such way of Lighting his cigarette. Noppo smiles and takes the cigarette from Inochi's grasp. As Inochi sighed.

　Noppo's Large fingers grasp the Cigarette. He puts it up to where his eyes would be, and threw it off the side of the building after he was done "inspecting" it. Inochi sighs again. "Noppo, Let's get a move on."

　Inochi stood up and prepared to start running again, the backpacker slung his backpack onto himself. The bag, with a large mouth, surely big enough to fit Inochi inside.

　Just as Inochi begins to walk into a run, Noppo grabs his Shoulder. Stopping Inochi in his tracks. "What is it?" Inochi says, his voice told of a monotone, emotionless void, that had filled his throat as he spoke those words.

　Noppo pointed towards the corner, where you slept. "What...?" Inochi looks at the way which Noppo pointed. Grimaced, was on his face, the grimace of annoyed confusion. He walks past the corner, and sees you.

　"What?" Noppo pushed Inochi towards your general direction. Noppo, being a kind innocent monster that he is, pleads for Inochi to apologise for nearly punching you, never mind what you did to Noppo, he's already forgotten.

　"I don't even recog-" Inochi was pushed even closer towards your general direction. He squats near your sleeping body, mindfully tilting his bag over his head to prevent it from touching the ground

　From there, Heels on ground, Inochi poked your face. He'd kick you awake but Noppo's watching right there. "C'mon." Inochi looks at you even closer. "... ..." Inochi glances at Noppo. "It's the one from last night..?" Inochi asked. Noppo Nods. "... ..." He pokes your cheek your long, uncut hair droops from the top of your face to the ground. As you breathed through your slightly open mouth.
