That's fine! Lol

Benjamin didn't expect his morning to go like this, but it did anyways and he wasn't able to stop the fact that he was standing in the door of his shop with only his drawers on arguing with a postal worker about a misdirected shipment of flour and other baking supplies. They tried to point out that there was literally a bakery next door and they were just a tattoo artist who in no world could afford to order that much stuff, but the postal worker insisted so eventually Benjamin just took the shipment and went with it. He left the packages out on the sidewalk in the beating hot summer sun and went upstairs to his apartment to get dressed properly in a white tank top and jeans. When they went back down, they started to haul the boxes and bags to the other shop right next to theirs, and with a bit of hard work and a lot of time taken out of their day that they could have used scheduling clients, they finally got everything dragged over to the other store. They rung a bell on the door and waited for someone to answer. Admittedly, they didn't know who owned the bakery next door but what they did know was that it was someone who had much better business practices than he did given the amount of supplies ordered.

(Sorry! I'm not online much! I'll be more active in the future, knowing that I have a forum to reply to)

Aki was quick to answer the door. He was busy baking and preparing the displays for the day before the shipment had arrived. He took everything inside and continued with finishing up preparations for the day. Then he opened the bakery for the day, smiling. He was happy to run a business that made so many people happy, and he did what he could to make sure that everyone enjoyed what they wanted from him. If not, he'd always find a way to make it up to him. It obviously wasn't long until there were people at the bakery. It was a family owned business that had been running for quite some time, and it gained quite a bit of popularity. Aki didn't mind, though. He liked talking with customers and seeing the smiles on their faces. While running the bakery could be hard word, all of the happiness that came with it made everything worth it. Today was going to be a great day, and he knew it.

"Uh, hey. I found your shipment… if all this stuff even is yours." Benjamin said, feeling a bit awkward. Normally he was good with people, but today just wasn't a good day. They bounced on their toes a little, fiddling with their blue curls and looking through the door surreptitiously and into the shop, scanning the area with suspicion. They leaned on the doorframe, tank hanging off of them loosely and just barely hiding their muscular and sinewy form, tattoos making more than a little bit of a bold statement. Benjamin sneezed in the absence of an anwer, a little ach-hoo! that served to make his traditionally more intimidating visage a little less scary and a lot more endearing.

"It's mine, yes. I guess it got delivered to your place by mistake. It's fine, though," Aki said, taking the stuff inside. "If you want, I could give you some food. I mean, you're already at the bakery, and you've helped out quite a bit. It's the least I could do, really. Besides, I like making people happy!" He smiled a bit. It was clear that he was having a good day. He was obviously happy, though anyone who knew him already knew that his happiness was to be expected. "Anyway, if you ever wanna talk, my name is Aki."
