He'd woken up freezing again. The nights were growing colder as autumn set in, the nest of old clothes and blankets he'd made in the back alley barely did the trick anymore.

Dallas walked the street to his current job, a Cafe worker, stretching and cracking his joints with a deep groan. He was grumpy, achy and hungry, but today was the day THAT person normally showed up for coffee, giving him something to look forward too.

Today had to be the day...

He needed to ask, to see if they'd be willing to go with his kinda crazy idea. He needed a place before it got colder... and... they were always so nice... and smelled so good... And treated him like he was some cute kid or puppy as it was so... Maybe, just maybe, if he swallowed his pride and told them his situation, they'd let him stay? After all... they kept saying they were debating getting a pet soon...

"I must be out of my mind..." He mutters while entering the Cafe to start his work shift, running a hand through his already messy hair while his boss instantly begins scolding him for the mess he'd made yesterday with the blender.

Yeah... he hated this job. The only good thing aside from free stale pastries was getting to see a certain someone twice a week. But it was better then selling his body on the street like he had last month so, he shouldn't complain.

With a frown pretty much permanently on his face, he put on his apron and started work.
