As Narita waved goodbye to the men who had helped him move in, a mix of emotions bubbled up inside him. Happiness, excitement, anxiousness, they all swirled around, giving him the feeling of a new beginning.

Turning on his heel, the bald male focused his attention on his new house. The tall two-storied house seemed to tower above him. With a light smile plastered on his face, Narita slowly made his way towards the door, nervous to revisit the final product.

The new scent of the freshly cleaned house filled his senses while he looked out across the open-plan home. Everything was spacious and there was lots of room to decorate.

Even with the overwhelming feeling of finally seeing his new home, Narita couldn't help but feel a twinge of loneliness. What was the point in having this luxurious house with no one to share with?

Breaking out of his daydream, the male couldn't help but laugh at himself. It wasn't like him to get down so easily, he had faced worse than lying on his own.

As he looked out the window, the light pink sky cast a warm glow over his house through the windows. Although Narita wanted to watch the sunset for as long as he couldn't, he knew it was going to get late very quickly. The bald male didn't want to be late on his first day tomorrow.

With that final thought, he slowly made his way to his bedroom, which was placed on the second floor, and slowly melted into a deep and peaceful sleep.

"Nghh" Narita groaned as a single beam of sunlight shined through a crack in the curtains.

It was a new day, full of new possibilities. Even more so for the olived eyes male. Even though his day had been so busy yesterday, today would be even worse.

As he stretched his muscles, the male didn't have time to sit around and relax. Quickly grabbing some casual clothes and a snack, he strode out the door, wanting to be nice and early on his first day to work.

"Huh, that's weird" Narita muttered.

A strange feeling came over him as the male stopped his key just as he locked it. Taking a quick look around the town, it was noted that everything seemed rather empty.

In the bat of an eye, Narita had strode off, heading for the small alleyway next to his house. That weird feeling was just nagging at him, making the olive eyes male feel unsettled in a way.

Turning the corner, Narita was instantly met by the piercing black eyes of the dusty blonde-haired cat, who seemed to await his arrival. Their eyes clashed in an intense staring competition to which the human lost.

Finishing with a small sigh, Narita quickly made his way inside as the sounds of bowls clinking together filled the kitchen. Sloshing a small bit of water into a bowl and some more ham onto a plate, the bald male dashed back outside, and to his relief, the feline was still sitting there peacefully with the occasional flick of its tail.

Placing it at the base of the box pile, it was all Narita could do to watch as the Persian made its way down the pile and placed itself in front of the ham and water. It nibbled down on the meat, keeping a keen eye on the human at all times.

Satisfied with his work, Narita quickly walked off into the now crowded town.

"Welco-oh you must be the new worker" came an upbeat voice.

The olive-eyed male had finally arrived at his destination and was greeted with the warm smell of sawdust. Looking around, the shop was a small office with a bunch of fancy equipment. Two small desks were placed in the back while varying shoes scattered the shelves. (Wow great describing J).

"Come on back," the voice continued.

Making his way in the direction of the voice, Narita couldn't help but marvel at the variety of shoes that were delicately placed on the shelves. There were fancy shoes, boots, high heels, and more.

As the bald male finally neared the desks at the back, he couldn't help but notice the small tools scattered around the table with small pieces of leather. The next thing that caught his eye was a man. Specifically, another bald man who seemed very concentrated on the shoe in front of him.

"Gimme a second~" the man groaned.

All Narita could do was watch in amazement at the craftsmanship of this man. Every little hole that was made with the hammering tool seemed to be in just the right place. To say the olive eyes man was impressed was an understatement.

"Okay sorry about that, you must be Kazuhito Narita, right?"

"Yep! And you are~"

"Ryunosuke Tanaka, nice to meet you"

As the day passed, the pair had gotten to know each other. A few things Narita had taken from Tanaka was that he was married to a guy named Ennoshita. He had worked in this shoe store for 5 years before it was sold down to him.

"Wait how did you meet your husband?"

"Well have you heard the challenge that our town is famous for?" the shorter one asked.

Narita who was known to the town had never heard of anything of this 'Challenge' and was now curious.

"No, what's the challenge?"

"Well, there was this guy I knew called Kinoshita, a nice guy. He was what you would call the 'most wanted' to put it one way"

"Most wanted? Like bandits and thieves?" Narita questioned.

"No actually, he was born with natural good looks and drew in men and ladies alike, one day he sorta... snapped? To put it shortly, he made a competition that whoever managed to get the keys on his cat's neck and opened his front door, they would win their heart"

Silence filled the air as Narita thought about what had just been saying. If Tanaka continued about how he met Ennoshita while the other male wouldn't know. His mind was occupied by the challenge.

The cat, the key? It all seemed so... convenient?

Was it a true tale or was it a complete coincidence?
