"Psst! Hey you."
Someone calls out to you from a corner. "You shouldn't have come here."
(Y/N): "..."
"What's the reason? This area isn't safe for people like you, unless you are looking for someone...?" You nod and tell him that you are looking for someone that sells this particular service you crave for.
"And what kind of services are you planning to buy from this shady place?"
(Y/N): "..."
"Headpats...?" You nod your head again. "You do know you're a human right and not an animal?"
(Y/N): "..."
"Yes I can agree with you. They are pleasant."
With just that one line of his, you realize... He was the one you were looking for.
(Y/N): "..."
"Ah... Looks like the jig is up. I'm your guy, Aulive Sofya. Giving headpats are my services to anyone who's wanting to have their heads patted."
You smile and ask for his services. "Its seems like you are a customer after all. A new customer as well." He gets off from the wall he was leaning on and signals you to follow him. You follow him and he leads you to a small building.
The building is small and it seems to be his place of business. There was a bed and a large couch. The surrounding walls are decorated simply and didn't give off a dungeon-y vibe. All in all, it was like a small private cafe. In the cafe, it felt kinda homey to you. You felt the warmth and you felt safe in here.
"Welcome to my small business. I hope you feel safe and protected within these walls. Would you like some tea to drink?"
You agree to some tea. He brings you a cup of freshly brewed tea and gestures to either the couch or bed to sit on.
You chose to sit on the couch. He guides you to the couch and both of you sit on it, side-by-side. He takes a sip from his cup and says, " For new customer, like yourself, you get to have a free trial for what kind of style of headpat you want."
You look at him, confused. You question on what he meant on style of headpats he offers. "Currently at the moment, there are two types. Headpats and Head Scratchies. You have the normal headpats where I pat your head normally like this."
He pats your head softly and rhythmic. This was something you've always wanted but could never really obtain without the help of someone else. He pulls his hand back and you already miss the feeling.
"Head Scratchies are like a massage for you scalp. It feels really nice and releases a good amount of stress and tension in your body. Ah, please turn your back towards me."
You do as he asks and wait for the head scratchies. You feel his hand goes underneath your hair and with his fingertips, he lightly scratches your scalp.
This was indeed something different from a normal headpat. It was soothing and unique. The constant sound of your scalp being lightly scratched was soothing to the ear and found out that you could actually fall asleep if you weren't careful enough. Not just the sound but the feeling of the scratch just felt too pleasant as well.
He pulls his hand away from your hair and you begin to crave for the Head Scratchies.
"Eventually, you'll receive both types of headpats. Its more about which one do you want to go through first."
(Y/N): "..."
"Ah, you want the Head Scratchies first? Then please stay– Eh? You want to sit on my lap? ...Normally, I advise others not to sit on my lap only because it does get in the way of me not being able to do my service well. You're not taking no for an answer? Then why bother asking instead of just doing it?"
You pout, get up and sit down on his lap. You hear him sigh and says, "You're one pushy customer... Oh well, you are a new customer so I'll do my best to service you."
You nod your head to agree with him and then you feel his hands scratch your scalp.
Just like before, you were put into its spell of listlessness and enjoy the sensation.
"Wow your hair is really soft... So soft~ ...Eh...?"
You purred a bit as you enjoyed the feeling but that's when you felt his hands stop momentarily. You wonder why and turn around to see his face. His expression was surprised but when he saw your face, he averted his gaze. Even though is his face was turned away, you can see that he was embarrassed.
"That was too cute of her to do..."
You tug on his shirt and he looks back at you.
"Ah, sorry! Don't mind me. Let's keep going shall we?"
You turn around and close your eyes. His hands continue to do their thing and you slowly drift off to slumber.
Your body begins to lean back and he stops again. "Ano... my dear customer? Were you about to fall asleep?"
(Y/N): "..."
You reply back with a half-asleep answer and request for normal headpats.
He removes your hand from your hair and before he started patting you, he begins to brush your hair. "The Head Scratchies messed up your hair a bit. Let me fix your hair first before giving you the normal headpats."
He goes over your hair a couple of times. The sensation from the brush wakes you up. The sensation from the brush was much less appealing to you ever since you've experienced his Head Scratchies, but you gotta admit, he's taking care of your appearance as well so its plus for you when you leave.
"There you go! Your hair is all neat and proper again!" You agree with him and lean backwards until your body was supported by his.
"...Uh..."
(Y/N): "..."
"Okay..."
He begins to pat your head in that slow and rhythmic manner from before. You sigh and your head ended up laying in the space between his neck. He continues to pat your head and you thought up of a new headpat for him to offer.
(Y/N): "..."
"Sleepy headpats? Headpats to give to a sleepy customer...? Interesting."
You nod and drift into a nap.
"I guess I can offer this service too. I can probably make it cheap too, though I should probably charge extra if they do fall asleep for an hour or so. Hey-! Ah. I see why she called it Sleepy Headpats... Oh well I guess I'll just bring her to the bed and let her sleep for a while."
He picks up your body and lays you down. He pulls a blanket over you and pats your head again. "Hmm... maybe I'll ask her to be my business partner..."
An hour later...
You wake up from your nap and encounter a blurry wonderland. You scratch your eyes a bit and your vision begins to adjust themselves.
You sit up and remember that you fell asleep while Aulive was giving you your head pats. You look around and spot him sleeping on a chair right beside you. It seems like he was watching over you.
You smile knowing you were protected the entire time. You get up and walk over to him.
You shake his arm gently and he wakes up. "Hm... ah, it seems like I dozed off for a second there...?"
(Y/N): "..."
"Ah... My customer! Did you sleep well?" You nod your head and he continues on, "That's good to hear. I'm glad you were able to nap peacefully."
(Y/N): "..."
"You're welcome. Looks like it's time for you to go as well." Regrettably, you nod your head and pick up your bag. "You know where to find me if you need more head pats."
(Y/N): "..."
"Eh? Why would you like to have my number? To set up appointments I see... True, I don't want my precious customer to be wandering in those dangerous parts again. Fine, here."
He walks up to you and hands you his business card. "Here you go. Call me anytime." You smile and immediately enter his number into your contacts. You put the card into your pockets and gaze at him.
"Hm? What's wrong? You want a goodbye pat? O-okay..." He softly brushes your hair with his hand and you enjoy the pats being given by him. "There we go. Just know, this was your trial run so next time you'll end up having to pay next time."
You pout and nodded in a sad manner. "Though I would like to ask you something..."
You look up at him and for some reason he was looking away from you. "Um... I wanted to ask... Would you like to become one of my business partners?"
(Y/N): "..."
"Well, nothing like that of course. It's more of a development partnership I'm looking for. You've given me an idea about the sleepy head pats and I would like to come up with more options."
(Y/N): "..."
"...Yes you get to have free head pats. Regrettably, if you do accept this offer I lose you as a customer, but I do think we both get to have a mutual benefit from this."
(Y/N): "..."
"Well of course you get to be the first one to test the new head pats. Who else am I going to pat before offering this to the public?"
You smile and hold your hand to him. He takes ahold of your hand and shakes it. "Glad to have you on board." He pulls away his hand, but you refuse to let go. Instead, you take his hand and place it on your head. You smile in anticipation and all he could do is smile wryly and begin to pat your head again.
