Tic. Toc. Tic. Toc.

The slow and quiet sound of the old wood clock hanging on the wall annoyed Y/N somehow. Maybe it was because it reminded her that time was passing and nothing she could do about it. Or maybe it was nothing at all...

The sky was such a pleasant tone of blue; no clouds and the sun was shining as if it was going to engulf the world at any moment. The girl giggled at the thought.

Y/N truly wanted to get out of bed and feel the amusing weather. It's a perfect day to do something!

But the bed is so warm and fluffy...

Hey, c'mon, girl! She needs a change, indeed. But it isn't her fault - though sadly she thinks it is.

Y/N took a deep breath and finally got up. "I got to do something!" she thought to herself, stretching her body with a determined expression on her face.

"No, I won't stay in my bed all day again!"

Y/N decided go to a nearby park and draw something - she was bringing her art supplies, of course.

The girl was walking on the sidewalk, aimlessly, carefully watching the neighborhood houses.

Recently, Y/N has given up her dream art school because she sadly lost her job and could not afford it all by herself anymore.

Plus she considered herself a coward because she was too afraid to ask help from her parents. It's understandable, they are busy with their own stuff, and she didn't want to bother them.

To worsen up things she had no idea of what to do with her life anymore. Get a new job? Go back to her parent's house, like the coward she think she is?

Y/N just didn't know what to do. And, when she usually don't know what to do, she just grabs her art supplies and searches for a peaceful place to draw until she temporaly forget about her own troubles.

Y/N was troubled with her thoughts when she came across a somewhat peculiar house. Let's say it was kinda... weird. It looked like a giant black top hat. It also had a kind of scary aura on it. Like if it was a haunted house. Oh, but it was so cool and inspiring.

The house was at the end of the street she lived, and Y/N wondered how she still haven't noticed it until now. But she's absolutely glad she finally did.

Y/N sat on the sidewalk in front of the house and started drawing the house shape. She is a really good concept artist and this house was getting her really good ideas to put on paper. It was a really good and satisfying feeling.

Y/N was calmly drawing when, suddenly, she heard a low, scared voice coming from outside the house, on the backyard.

The girl turned her gaze to where the voice came from and saw a man wearing a paper bag as a mask and a labcoat, what gave him a scientistic look. And, beside him, was an apparently grumpy, tall, inhuman thing wearing a black tuxedo, a top hat and a monocle. That villainous look. What a fancy thing.

He was screaming with the scared man about a weapon going wrong or something like that. Y/N couldn't get her eyes off them, especially the scary thing. Maybe because his clothes and ways were totally like she thought to the villain of her new webcomic.

So, basically, she wanted to draw him. But she needed to take a picture of him first because the scary thing could go back inside any moment.

Silently, Y/N got her phone from her pocket and adjusted the camera... oh, it was going to be a perfect picture. But... Y/N just kind of forgot the fact that the flash was on, making their attention turn to the poor girl.

...Both of them looked her way. The scared man confused, the scary thing watching her with a deadly look. Y/N gulped with fear, trying to gather her things as fast as possible, but soon she heard a voice way too close.

"How brave of you, a mere human, to try to take a picture of me and expect me to not notice."

She looked up to see the scary thing in front of her, watching her carefully, his gaze was like piercing through her poor little soul. It was like seeing the devil himself. And, damn, he is tall.

"O-oh, let the girl be..." the paper bag man said low.

"I-I-I was just...!" Y/N mumbled nervously but she tried to regain herself. "I-I mean... your looks are kind of... interesting? Then I was just taking a picture of you so I could draw you later..."

"Oh, I see." the evil thing grinned widely, closing his visible eye and showing his sharp, deadly seemly teethes. "I guess I can't help it. I'm too interesting."

"Yeah, haha, sure you are..." Y/N laughed nervously while getting up and ready to go away. "Well, I will go now. I'm sorry for troubleing you..."

But the evil thing had other plans. He stopped Y/N from running away, grabbing her wrist lightly. "Oh, I'll finally die." she thought.

He aggressively took her sketchbook from her hands and took a look at the girl's drawings calmly, his face an empty expression.

"B-boss...?" the paper bag man called his... boss, confused.

The evil thing flipped to the page were Y/N had just drawn his house and then he gazed at her, looking uninterested. "So you're an artist, uh?"

"Uh, yeah... could you give it back to me, sir?" Y/N tried to get it back, but the evil thing didn't let her.

"Well, how fortunate. These days I was wondering how my living room would look like with a big, stunning painting of the evilest of the evil being in the world," he commented, giving Y/N her sketchbook back abruptly and adjusting his coat.

"And, after seeing your art, I think that maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to transform my greatness in a piece of art. And I'll pay, of course. What do you say? Will you be my artist?"

The paper bag man was surprised such as Y/N. "W-what?" she asked, incredulously.

"R-really, boss?" the paper bag man asked.

"Why not? Well, if you don't want to, what is something unbelievable, you can just-"

"YES!!!" the girl said smiling happily, shaking his hand, totally excited. "I'll do it, sir!"

The paper bag head man was still confused. "Wait, are you really accepting this...?"

"Do you have any problem with that, Dr. Flug?" scary thing said annoyed.

"O-o-of course not, sir..." said Dr. Flug trembling in fear.

"It's settled, then." the evil thing said closing his eye. "My name is Black Hat, by the way."

"Uh, I'm Y/N! It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

"I bet it is. Well, Y/N, I hope to see your progress on my painting. You can come by in the afternoon and bring all the stuff you'll need. Then I'll inform you clearly about the commission."

"Okay, sir! Thank you for the chance! I won't let you down!" Y/N said excitedly.

"I hope so."

Soon Y/N waved goodbye to Black Hat and Dr. Flug. She couldn't be more happy.

It's been months since the last person asked for a commission! She's so relieved now.

And, afterall, Y/N had the feeling that her days wouldn't be boring anymore. Ever.
