tap, tap, tap.. Pitter-patter, the constant tapping of the relentless rain hitting the ground would only serve to worry your butler, Shikosai, further. Maybe its the fact that you haven't messaged him. The possibility you haven't eaten— the fact that you're somewhere out there in the rain. Maybe its that pestering feeling that you may not be okay, and that thought that he may not see you soon tonight. Missed calls, unread texts and a mind swimming with the worry for you— it only makes him regret letting you go out without him earlier before.

Backtracking.. Your father's well off, and you're his only child off of an illegitimate birth. Though to him, its all the same whether you're his adopted child or whatsoever. He'll treat you same, with distance. Being a busy man, he hired someone to take care of you. And as if bounded by fate in time, his old friend offered to let his son work for you as they were in need. It was a bit of a problem to you, you never really accepted other care takers— but this kid being around the same age as you, only a couple years older, gave you some comfort. That kid was Shikosai. Ofcourse, he's been taught to be disciplined and to take care of himself just from a young age so you both managed. From then, you've always been living under the same roof.

Now, he's known you so well. Well enough to know that you definitely did not bring an umbrella today, even though he reminded you earlier. Gods, he couldn't bring himself to keep sitting still, worrying about what might've happen to you by now. Harsh rain and cold nights, he was almost completely pacing around in circles looking outside over dim lights. Ah, its too late already— at this point he found himself before the door. Not being able to bring himself to turn down his brain's offer to look everywhere for you despite the time and weather, he had already dressed himself quickly to head outside. Though, much to his unsurprise, relief, and disbelief.. You were literally running towards the front door soaking wet, a..Dog in your arms?
