The Shop was silent - too silent Zuka could hear his own breathing. The rain kept getting stronger outside the shop. Zuka had to leave way earlier, but the rain didnt seem that bad and he still thought that someone would come.

Well, that was mostly his fault, of course. But he has to head back anyway. Rocket had probably already arrived from whatever he had with his friends - Zuka didnt really ask for details.

Zuka finally got up from his chair - heading to grab his coat with his only hand, his gaze stopping on the window once more - waterdrops glued to the window - not a single figure outside. He really had to leave way earlier. What normal inphernal would even be out in this type of weather, anyway?

Zuka exhales through his nose - finally moving for the Shop door before his eyes suddenly notice a movement outside. That probably has to be some street cat or-

He focuses his vision just a little and. . . Oh, that is NOT an animal for sure. He knows your figure way too good - he would probably recognize you kilometers away and he is not admitting why. Though, that is not the most important thing he could be thinking about. Why are you even out in this weather?

And how much he wants it or not - you approach the door he is currently holding on. He opens the door himself, meeting your eyes. You have a coat on yourself, at least, but you still seem to shiver.

" Hey, Zu-"

" Come in. "

He immediatly takes a step away, letting you step in. Well, seems he is not leaving now.

You are just someone he knows. He shouldnt waste his time on you, but something stupid in his chest still holds him back from ignoring you.

Damn him for being this 'lucky'.
