Kitsune BF | Mirai | Part 1

Normally I try to read through my writing at least once to check for errors, but this ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would, so I only skimmed through it. Sorry if there are any glaring errors!

SFW besides some unsexual nudity

This is a Slow Burn guys. I was getting annoyed.

...

Behind the welcome counter of your place of work, you fill out some exit paperwork for one of your clients when one of the day nurses enters the building through the automatic sliding doors. She's short and plump and has the vibe of a slightly flustered mother.

"Y/N?" she says. "Are you available for a moment?"

You look up from your paperwork and put the clipboard down.

"Yeah, I can finish this later."

"Oh! Good! Umm..." She looks around awkwardly before you join her at her side.

"Is there a problem?" You ask.

"Well, not a problem perhaps....You have an opening in your schedule for another patient, right?"

"I do."

"Well, it seems we have another patient for you...outside." She looks around nervously once again. She guides you to a window and gestures to a male figure sitting on one of the benches outside. He's sitting there completely naked.

"He seems to have just been dropped off here like that..." She tells you. "I think it's fitting you take care of him, seeing as you have a vacancy."

"Are you sure it's not just because he's naked?" You ask with mild amusement.

She scoffs at you. "Oh please! I've worked with patients of all ages in various states of dress! Also, I believed he looks to be closer to your age than mine!" She gives you a wink and you roll your eyes.

"Well," you joke. "Since I am so skilled at talking to random naked men, I guess I'll handle it."

She gives you a pat on the back: "Off you go then!"

You grab a blanket from one of the racks near the supply room and exit the building. It's a warm summer evening despite the nearness of the Autumnal Equinox. The young male sits relaxed against the bench, hands in his lap. His gaze points fixedly downwards, but his head raises as he hears the doors open.

"Hi, sir?" you speak tentatively, trying to keep professionalism. "I am a nurse here at the assisted living department. Can I help you to a room?"

He doesn't look at you, but keeps his head facing forwards. Despite that, you believe he is actually paying attention. Taking a couple steps closer, you can see that he's laughing softly.

"I'm sorry, I don't need the kind of help you think I do," he says with mild amusement. It's when he says that that you notice the bandages covering his eyes.

"Sir, are you blind?" You ask.

"I suppose so."

"Well, I don't know the situation, but since we have a free room, I would urge you to accept. Otherwise, we'll have to contact the police."

"The police?" he says. "Hmm...I guess I'll have to accept then."

Despite the feeling that he isn't taking this as seriously as most people would, you take advantage of his consent and drape the blanket over him. He stands up quickly, startling you somewhat.
