Kage groaned as he struggled to open his eyes. He couldn't quite remember where he fell but he didn't remember it being so soft and smelling faintly of lavender. He also didn't remember hearing quick, heavy panting so close to his face that smelled faintly like dog food. Startled, he spring upright in hopes that he wouldn't have a repeat of the last time he attempted this. s**t. His head was still pounding and swimming but he was able to focus on a little black, large ear fruit bat on four legs. He squinted in the darkness to really focus on the creature before him. Wait, no that was a small dog.
The dog skittered off towards another sound and he tensed up. He was in someone's home and that alone put him on edge. He could feel his heart in his throat as he looked around for a quick means of escape but when he was the figure in the doorway he paused a little breathless. The individual's blue eyes caught his and the flowing blonde locks seemed to frame their pale face. Their elegantly gloved hands held a glass of water but his eyes were more preoccupied by traveling lower taking in the beauty that had appeared. He knew he wasn't in Heaven. That wasn't an option for him, so who the hell?
“Good. You're awake.” The person's voice slipped from between their colored lips and the deep male voice shattered any thoughts that were just going through Kage's mind.
“Buh...?” Kage's mouth floundered for a moment as he tried to match the voice to the body.
“Do you often just pass out in people's yards or is this just a drunken special occasion?” The other male quirked a brow before approaching the confused individual and placed the drink on the nightstand. “Let me tell you, you are heavier than you look.”
“O-oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize I'd be...here.” Kage looked around the room once again and then back to the other individual. “You didn't hurt yourself getting me did you?”
“Oh hell no. I got a friend of mine to help me. I'm ninety-five percent pansy.” The male waved off the comment and leaned in close to get a good look at the other. “I'm guessing you're not from around here are you?”
“You smell of butterscotch.” Kage gave a blank stare completely bypassing the question. The comment brought a small pause in their conversation as the other male straightened himself up and quirked a brow down at him.
“Yeah... you must have hit your head. Listen, why don't you wash up and I think I may have something that you can wear. You are smaller than me but I am sure I have some old clothes that will fit you.” The male shook his head and walked over to the closet sliding open the wooden door. Kage could see all the various colors hanging up but he noticed a common theme amongst all the clothes. They were all pretty much women's clothes. The male glanced back over his shoulder and saw the faint look of disbelief crossed with confusion. “Oh comon, you can't tell me you didn't see this coming.” He pulled out a simple styled lolita styled powder blue dress that was trimmed with white and looked back at the man on the bed. “I mean you could go in those rags, or nude. Despite neither being an issue, I'd be more concerned about the attention you'll get. It's your choice either way.”
“N- ah no. It won't be a problem. Clothes are clothes after all, right?” Kage gave a nervous smile before hoisting himself out of bed and looked down at his pretty much soiled clothes from coming up through what he assumed was the man's garden. “Actually I should be thanking you. What is your name?”
“Winter Hue, but you can call me Winter.” He pulled out another dress and sighed before putting it back. “Well isn't this just delightful! I think this wont fall off your twiggy body.”
“I'm Kage Hikoshi, but you can call me Edon or Kage. Whatever you can remember first.” Kage sighed softly as he looked to where the bathroom would be. “And yes, I'm not from around here, so I don't know when I'd be able to return those clothes to you.”
“Goodness, if those can fit you then you can HAVE them.” Winter hung them on the corner of the door and collected the dirty bed sheets. “I guess I could use the company until you find your own place. It's not every day you find a person in your flower bed.” He gave a small smile and gestured to the hallway. “Ignore Emma, she's not going to do anything but spaz around you. There should be a towel in there. I'll be on my computer working in the meantime. I'll be there if you need anything.”
“Once again, thank you Winter.” Kage bowed out of the door and went to where he was essentially pointed to. He did notice Emma circling his feet with her giant bug eyes and tongue hanging out of her mouth. He paused in the middle of the hall as it occurred to him that he was just offered a place to crash until he could stand on his own two. Not sure exactly if that was the case he figured he should get the soil and leaves out of his hair before actually sitting down and seeing what his situation was in full.
