It was a normal, sunny day. You were out like usual, just taking a walk until…you saw a big bulldog coming straight for you! Your eyes squeezed shut on instinct, fully excepting to be mauled or bitten or something even worse than those two things by this dog. Instead, you were met with a bunch of…licks?

“Hey! Hey, boy! C’mere!” You heard a stern and commanding voice which you could only assume was the owners call out to the dog. The bulldog gave a small whine of protest but still trotted over to his owner. You finally and hesitantly opened your eyes and there was the owner of the dog—Sekijiro Kan. Your neighbor. He crossed his arms, his large build towering over you. He looked just as scary as the first day he moved in next to your place.

You had to admit, you had been avoiding him for obvious reasons. He was just so big and scary…maybe it wasn’t right, but you just had automatically assumed he was someone to stay away from.

“Sorry bout that.” Sekijiro grunted out, rubbing the bag of his neck with his large hand. “Usually, he doesn’t run up to people like that. He must’ve really liked you.” Sekijiro titled his head slightly, as if trying to size you up. “I won’t be letting this lil’ bugger out of my sight again.” He said while patting the dog. You swore you could have seen a small yet fond smile on his face as he looked down at the bulldog.

Maybe you misjudged this guy?
