As branzy sat he wondered what the future would bring him, he knew it probably would be stupid as for that's just what happens to him,

 he knew his roommate would be out for a wile and he still had a few hours till he needed to work.

He spread his wings stretching them before he took off soring thru the sky, 

*clownpierce pov* ugh that guy bleed all over my 'outfit he sighed' attlest their is no witnesses 'he looked up in awe as he saw a glimpse of wings as black as night soring

Past him'

He realized that he was still in the open as hurriedly rushed back to the carnival 

'he forget to clean the blood off his clothes its not like anyone will say anything about it tho'

*branzy* 'he felt like someone as staring at him for a long time and he hurriedly flew his way to his workplace, making shure to lock the doors'

That was not normal he remarked to himself. 'He then realized that he needed to prepare stuff for his shift' I wish I could take a nap but oh well..

Hours passed and

The day wasn't that remarkable the almost non stop intake of customers before it slowed down after lunch rush.

 My shift is almost over and I can FINALLY have some sleep soon, 

then the sound of a customer walking in, reminding himself that his shift was not over yet. 

Hello! Welcome to the stomping grounds Cafe anything I can get you? 'He said with a undertone of tiredness in his voice'

The customer asked for 8 fucking shots of expreso with sprinkles' o-ok the "drink" 'if it can be counted as one he thought' it will be out shortly what name do you go by? ^^

*???* already asking my name but I know that you probably don't have customers with as amazing tast as me so I'll put it aside you can call me clown

*branzy* 'I felt a deadpan creeping up on my face because no way he just said that because he's gunna have a heart attack by 30 if he kept drinking these ALSO DID HE JUST FLERT WITH ME??' 

I burnt my hand on the coffee machine wile making it hey attlest i heal quickly ,he thought

The coffee for clown is ready "he called out into the mostly empty Cafe"

*Clown*I must thank you handsome this is amazing 'he grined' oh ya how much is the drink?

*Branzy*i-i uhh it will c-cost you 9$

Great the man called out grinning pulling out way more than just 9$ 

U-uh sir that's like 30$? You shure your not mistaken?

*clown* I know it's just your so kind to not judge me so count the rest as a tip branzy 'he said as he placed attest 45$.

*Branzy* uhh thank you so much "he said as he watch the man nod and walk away,

That was weird he remarked to no one in particular, he began to clean and set up for the next person, as he walked out to go to his apartment he felt on ege like something or someone was watching him,

 he made sure to sick to places that where heavily crowded on his way to his apartment

*clownpierce pov* ugh I just met him why the fuck do I keep thinking like this' the thought hopelessly. He stormed through the streets wile all the other smaller Villans moved away 

in hope of not angering him further. and getting killed as some of their comrades have met that exact fate.

Clown ended up commanding one of his employees to watch over branzy to make shure he's safe.

*branzy* 'he walked up the stairs quickly eager to tell his roommate what happened,

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY!

*rek* hmm what happened he asked eager to know' as his roommate explained what happened ,abt the man who ordered so many expeeso shots and sprinkles of all things AND flirted with him

He was laphing so hard by the end of the story then realized' wait you said that he said his name was clown of all things 

*branzy* uhh ya is that any problem 'he looked at his vigilanty friend confused and tired'

*rek* this might be a stretch but you know their is a villain called CLOWN-pierce so make shure to be wary

*branzy* oh shit that was kinda expected..

Anyway ima go to bed or else I will actually pass out wheir I stand

*rek* wtf do I say to that goodnight? Don't let the clownpierce bite??? 

*branzy* idc I've wanted to fucking sleep since 1am and I already suspected that something was weird no normal person an Handel that much caffeine 

he walked into his room curling up in his nest finally letting his wings and tail relax, and not be hidden. Stretching them proud before laying down in his nest safe

..."He felt like he was being stabed blood poured from his chest He jumped back in shock realizing that a masked figure was holding a heart? HIS HEART. He jumped at him growing why the FUCK do you have my heart He growled 

*???* you know why~

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY THAT YOU OMENUS BITCH!

then he took of his mask it was the odd customer good morning he chuckled as he faded"

Branzy woke up in a deep sweat hyperventilating and looking around wildly. Eventually he calmed down cursing himself for sleeping so long, 

*branzy* ugh it's already morning I didn't get a good sleep at all 'he yawned exosted'

Today is another day like any other. He looked outside and cursed' of fucking corse its raining, 

he quickly changed into his uniform and tried to pretend the rain didn't feel like acid. He quickly walked to work hissing as the drops hit him,

He was suited for the nightshift but a ratcoon hybrid had took it for the week on the schedule.. He was so tired 

The hours started to blur together until a blue rabbit person walked in, she ordered a Carmel Macioto with 7 shots of expreso with sprinkles as a topping, she also wanted a muffin

 she quickly explained that only the muffin is for her and the rest is for kabs

 brother clown she asked if I knew him and I said I met him once. That will be out in a minute whats the name for the order?

KAB!!

*kabootle mind* I Was Walking In The Cafe My Brother was talking about, wen I walked in I remembered what he said he wanted a Carmel macioto and 7 shots of expreso, so I went up to the cashier,

"Hey can I get a Carmel Macioto andd 7 shots of expreso for my brother, 

ooh can I also get a muffin for me" the kind batista dressed in purple and had cool purple eyes and said that I'd be out in a second he also asked my name a said kab:D

*branzy* 'the process of making the drink and baking the muffin wasn't that hard' oh shit I dropped the cup uh luckily I can remake it 'he cleaned the mess wile making another one' 

Order for clown and Kab!

*kaboodle* thank you :D

*branzy*. You don't have to thank me it's my job yk!

*kaboodle*Ik^^

The rest the day was pretty uninteresting he ended his shift then went to the park to chill and fly

"He stretched his wings preparing for flight 

As he launched himself off the swingset it had just enough momentum to get him going"

 At the back of his mind it felt like their was someone watching him ...

*clownpierce* I followed him all the way here a- 'he murmured to himself

'he was caught off gard seeing those beautiful sparkling wings as black as midnight, he looked in awe at the fluidity of his flight, 

he wondered what do the wings feel like are they soft are they stretchy? Who knows all he knows is the captivating beauty they hold.

*branzy* I know someone is watching me but I don't know why it feels nice? 'He murmured under his breath 

'He didnt want to go for some reason but he knew he had to so he set off into the clouds heading in the direction of his apartment'

"Clown looked disappointed in seeing him fly away but he knew it was for thy good, as he would only end up hurting but he still tried to strech his tiny wings, but demons where never ment to sore thru the skys.."

As branzy flew he felt remorse for reasons benounced to even him but thou kept flying till he found his home and rested in his abode 

As the night gaveway to dawn anew day on thy another day of thou uncertainty

For fate is a cruel and kind entity only time will tell 

"As branzy woke up he started to brush his hair " hmm my hairs growing longer than normal should I cut it? 'He remarked to no one in particular' after he took a shower(ow)

 he went into the living room the fridge had a sticky note on it it read "sry I had to work early but I made breakfast it's in the fridge-rek2"

I have to get going for my second job anyway 'he sighed grabbing the food and eating it' I rilly don't want to make a bad impression, I am gunna be working at the casino part time from this day onward,

He thought to himself 

His first day wasn't that hard just a normal amount of Redstoning work, luckily but he felt like their was someone staring into the back of his skull

*clownpierce thoughts* 'his new hire he recognized him, hes the Cafe worker and thy same hybrid that he has had intertermoil with himself over, 

 the Only one he's ever had interest in but he knew he should push him away. but the selfish part of himself wanted him he knew it was greedy, but he just wanted one person Only ONE.why is that so hard to rap his head over'

 Hey branzy 'he called out' what you working on?

He said that he was just doing some minor Redstoneing "but i knew it was still highly impressive after all most ppl cant"

*branzy* my boss clown came up to me I tried to play it off as nothing interesting but he still lingered for a long time 

'dose he not trust is he going to kill me?' No he wouldn't do that without reason, would he? Snap out of it branzy you have a job to do he thought as he started tweaking some things, tho he still felt like someone was watching that was to be expected.

 After all he dose kinda stand out with the hair and purple ngl. After a bit the person from yesterday kaboodle I think her name is? Came up to me and started watching me, and asking for tips and tricks for figuring out Redstone! 

She's a very kind person eventually after a few more hours pass she says she has to go. I wave her goodbye before realizing just how late it is, before I can do anything my boss came up behind me making me jump,

 but all he did was ask to escort me home, I hesantly accepted fearing he might get mad if I say no.

(*clownpierce*)

I cant believe I asked to escort him home what was I thinking I was supposed to distance myself from him not fucking get closer to him mediatoricly and rhetorically 

Shit what am I doing 

'I hear someone' I instinctively walked closer to branzy so I could sheld him incase something happened 

."I saw him flinch wen I moved..it hurt I know he hardly knows me but it still fucking hurt".

I brang out my scythe for the person following us is definitely hostile  

*branzy* "Is he going to kill me he moved closer then brought out his scythe I'm so dead". 'Then I saw it a flicker of a reflection in my eye' CLOWN WATCH OUT

"I subconsciously pulled him away just enough where he only got grazed "

Are you o- 'I was about to ask something but the grace and elegance he has wile slaying his foes is astonishing to the point I was at a loss for words as he did spins and

 elegant doges before slicing their head off clean with no resistance. a the sight of him covered in blood flustered me? for some reason, he was just so beautiful like this, I didn't even care as the blood splaterd on my hair.'

.

.

.

.Shit I hear sirens WE need to go 'I said as I picked him up and flew. Eventually we made it back to my apartment.

Here 'clown said before kissing his hand' 

Good luck he said as he escaped into shadows. 

I realized he also gave me a hoodie to cover up the blood stain in my hair,

I walked into my apartment still shocked

*rek* so~ who's the lucky guy?

*branzy* W-WHAT??

*rek* that's not your hoodie and ik you well enough you aren't into girls like that.

*branzy*oh umm it's clowns 'he murmured'

*rek* yk I probably should be more concerned but I lowky ship it,

*branzy* WAHT DO YOU MEAN YOU SHIP IT??

*rek* you 2 would work good as a couple anyway can we cuddle I'm cold

*branzy* ya shure your lucky your my bff yk he rolled his eyes getting comfortable,

*rek* wait wen was your last mateing cycle bc you need to request off work soon?

*branzy* oh shit your right ima go call the boss then go to my nest and sleep k?

*rek* k gn

*branzy* gn. "He cuddled into his nest adding the hoodie from clown into it. He then proceeded to call c-his boss requesting that after a week for him to get a week off.

He asked why and branzy explained and clown seemed ,ok with the explanation and give him the days off.

Ugh I hate this 'he said as he unfurled his wings and turned to his side realizing he has to clean his hair attlest before work' I wonder dose clown have a mate? Hmm probably 'he said shrugging trying not to think about it.

"As he slipped into sleep his last thought was if clown could ever like him?"
