Okay I'm saying it, this is actually trash. I lost inspiration and motivation about halfway and I've probably tried rewriting it 5 times already. I hate it lmao. But I'm already late with it so... #xsch11
Corvus stared at the scene before him, filled with confusion. He had let his black lab, Raven, out of the house at 3 am after working on a paper, and she wasn’t returning he had called. He had slipped on shoes and went into his yard, only to find a stranger petting his dog. This guy was on his knees as he scratched and played with Raven, and Corvus genuinely didn’t know what to think. I mean sure, this was a cute scene, and the dude wasn’t bad looking, but what purpose did this guy have being in his backyard at 3 am? Corvus cleared his throat.
“Excuse me?” Corvus stepped forward and could smell the booze coming off this guy. “What are you doing?”
“Is this your dog? I love her. She’s great. Good dog. Dogs are great.” The man began to ramble, words slurring a bit. He looked up at Corvus. He had blond hair, short on the sides, but longer on top. Dark eyebrows and blue eyes stared up at him. This dude was actually good looking. Corvus would be tempted to just let this guy go on with his day if he still hadn’t known why this guy was in his yard at 3 am! It was November, leaves were off the trees, and it was at most 30 degrees outside. With a burning heart, Corvus made a decision.
"Would you like to come inside?" The stranger looked a bit surprised at first and, after a moment, nodded. The man staggered to his feet, and Corvus went to help him. Leaning heavily, the two of them managed to make it to the couch. They sat on the couch for a few minutes, neither of them saying anything. Corvus opened his mouth to speak, turned, and saw the man had fallen fast asleep. Covering him with a blanket, Corvus left a glass of water and the container of painkillers on the coffee table in preparation.
Corvus had already started making breakfast when the man awoke. The blond had shuffled up to the dining room table and laid his head down. Setting down two plates of eggs and bacon, Corvus sat down across from the man.
"My name is Corvus."
"... Soren."
