Pet Shop - Affection

※ A story where a bird of prey shows an unusual side of him.

-----

You walked out the old doors silently, greeted by thermic shock brought to you by the burning hot sun and thick heavy Egyptian air. Surely, the dark manor, in which no sunlight ever seeped through, was much fresher and nicer on the skin.

You whipped your shawl resting on your head over your shoulders and chest, protecting yourself from anymore attacks by the unforgiving sunrays, walking casually towards the main gate.

Dio, your lord, had sent you to bring him his meals, nothing out of the ordinary for you. It was your daily routine ever since he had found you and took you in, gracing you with peace of mind in exchange for utter loyalty. That was just the bizarre equivalent of a normal person going grocery shopping for their family. In fact, maybe you would bring some snacks along the way to bringing fresh blood.

You looked up at the top of the beautiful Islamic architectured walls surrounding the equally as gorgeous mansion. Truly, Arabs and Muslim civilizations had expertise in both art and construction. You smiled, graced by the sight of your little protegee, standing high and mighty at the peak of the wall.

"Hi, Pet Shop!"

The bird turned his head upon hearing your unmistakable voice and looked at you through sharp, glaring eyes.

Recognizing you, he flew out of his usual spot and glided his way around you swiftly before landing roughly on your shoulder, the impact and his weight pushing you forward slightly.

"Ow-ow, hey, careful now. I don't have my gear on, your claws are killing me!" You winced a bit at Dio's personal gatekeeper.

The animal, silent as ever, lessened his tearing and unforgiving grip on your fragile flesh, letting you both straighten up more comfortably.

"Y-yeah, that's better baby." You brought a gentle hand to caress his neck and torso, the feathers incredibly soft on your skin. "It's so hot today, I'll get you some fresh water when I come back."

Pet Shop subconsciously bonked his head against you, nuzzling into your face. You could see his eyes disappear behind his lids cutely. He was enjoying this. Who knew the ruthless killer bird that could murder faster than his own shadow and served a just as ruthless immortal vampire could show affection?

Well, only a handful of people could handle a predator like Pet Shop. And he would only ever show his grace and mercy to a few rare chosen ones, including his Master Dio's favourite little human.

"Alright, alright, get off now, you're heavy I'm getting cramps." You chuckled with a bit of strain in your voice. "I'll be back in a few, okay? Be good while I'm gone."

Heeding your words, the bird pushed himself off of you, the momentum pushing you back a little, and back on top of the walls, where he could survey kilometers wide, looking through the entire city and beyond.

"Well... 'Good'." You muttered, chuckling, "As good as murderers like us can be... Do your thing sweetie."

You approached the door and Pet Shop shot you a sideway glance, a little sign of goodbye before you opened the heavy metal gates and went off to provide for the vampire whom you pledged allegiance to.

Lord Dio didn't even need to request but the bird complied anyways. Pet Shop watched over your form, silently protecting you. Making sure no threat came your way.
