Tired

~X~

Hwoarang stumbled as he made his way into the apartment he

had once shared with his lover. He was tired from work, from something he had had to do when the time had called for it. Now, he wanted nothing more then to just lie in his bed and sleep for the rest of the night. But when he heard a bark he smiled(no comma) and turned to his large black lab and bent down, petting his head.

"Hey, boy, did you miss me?" he said with a grin, getting licked in response. "Do you need to go out?"

The dog tilted his head and his tail started to wag in response. Hwoarang took that as a yes and grabbed the leash, hooking it onto his. Again the dog barked and pulled Hwoarang back out the door.
Once their walk was finished, Hwoarang managed to kick off his shoes and go right to bed. He sighed, staring at the dark ceiling and he rolled to his side, and stared at the empty spot next to him. It was over a year ago that the accident had taken place, and the redhead still wasn't used to the emptiness of the house. He silently wondered if that was why he had gotten a dog.
Whistling, he patted the bed. "Jin, come here, boy…."

On cue, the black lab jumped on the side of the bed and licked Hwoarang's face gently. Hwoarang chuckled and patted his back in a gentle manner. "Good boy," he said and closed his eyes. When Jin was around, he didn't feel as lonely. Tired, Hwoarang let himself fall asleep.

Jin stood by Hwoarang's side. When he saw a dark figure in the window, though, he raised his head and growled. The figure vanished, leaving a single black feather blow through the window. Jin watched with a grunt, wagging his tail, but he stayed by his master; he was more important, after all.
