Paxton somehow woke up early-6:54-and decided that they were gonna do something. Not sure what that something was gonna be... They put on their nicest button-up shirt (it was white with cherry blossoms on it) and were about halfway out the door when-
"Where're you going this early?"
"Wherever the goddess takes me!" They exclaimed loudly.
When they closed the door they heard a "be safe" from the other side. All Might was the dad type, Paxton could tell, he took in a kid from the street and was training a quirkless 15-teen year-old. He wasn't a dick, to say the least.
They walked for a bit, then when a cat cafe caught their eye across the street, they jogged to the other side of the busy road. Weren't they glad they took the time to learn japanese before they flew here. A sign in the window shouted out at them, "Now Hiring!", perfect! Paxton opened the door slowly and strode up to the counter.
"Hello sir, what can I get you?" The girl behind the register asked, she had a masculine frame and was trying to keep her voice as feminine as possible.
Paxton paused, then said "I saw that you're hiring and was interested..." Their voice was soft, but still loud enough to hear.
"Okay, please come with me to the back." She explained, then called to another girl to cover the register.
They answered the questions accordingly;
"Why do you think you should work here?"
"I'm broke, like cats, and have zero experience." That made the girl laugh.
"How would you be a good addition to the workplace?"
"I know how to deal with idiots-...people...and can do the job right!"
A few more questions were asked and the girl handed them a sheet, "just fill this out, also, the name's Akari." Paxton filled out the sheet, they had to fill in their dead name since they hadn't legally changed it. They were just glad it had an 'other' option for gender. Paxton then went to the counter, handed her the sheet, and walked out of the quaint cat cafe.
When they heard a meow in an alleyway the sat down to try to get the cat to trust them.
"Pspspspsp, hey there pretty." The cat was cautiously moving away with steady paws, then stopped when Paxton didn't try to get closer. it meowed then sat down. Paxton also meowed grabbing it's attention, it moved forward when they put their hand out. It laid down and they went to stroke the cats soft, fluffy fur. It just started grooming itself, didn't move away for some reason. They pet it and the cat started purring, well, most cats purr when you pet them, but not many strays let you get that close. Paxton then noticed that it was a she-cat as it rolled onto its back. "Got a name yet pretty girl?" She meowed again, "What do you think of 'Nyx'?", she meowed again. "Nyx it is."
They scooped up the cat and walked down the alleyway, it was quiet and away from the rest of the other homosapiens. There was hissing from behind garbage cans but Nyx stayed chill. She was a good cat and surprisingly didn't freak out about having someone hold her.
Sorry this was short but I couldn't figure out how to connect my ideas...
Hope you enjoyed this short chapter!
