Home @ Farm

Over the years of Charon's time in Burrowgatory; there had never been a place he could comfortably call home as he frequently found himself living out of bunbnbs, hotels and whatever housing his employees offered as he worked as a bodyguard. He has never seen the need to settle down as he quite enjoyed the adventure of sheltering in various spots and enjoying the amenities as he worked across varying jobs bodyguarding his clients.

That was until he met the doll that would eventually become the love of his life, his eventual husband; Diego. Spending time with him has made Charon start to crave a permanent place, somewhere he could settle down and call a home. He was in quite firm denial at first especially as their relationship progressed to a point where Diego began to bring him to Retina Ranch, a cozy farm on the outskirts of the bustling city. A rather peaceful farm that sprawled across several acres full of grass, trees, plants and a few cozy buildings. A nice change of pace from his usual work and housing. It not only brought up a sense of craving for home but also complications in feelings for Charon. Change could be quite difficult for him to adapt to at times especially when he had been so used to his routine.

Without realizing. Without meaning to. The grumpy Greed began to look forward to his rare visits to Retina Ranch and especially the small army of Impups that would come running to greet him every time he dropped by to visit his at the time boyfriend. The grass poking out from under the fence would brush against his well tailored pants as he knelt down onto the dirt path, uncaring of the possibility of his dress shoes getting dirtied. His semi-formal business clothes were easily replaced by casual outfits over time with each visit to the farm that often was accompanied by a bag full of instant ramen packs, some groceries and occasionally the new ingredient for the ranch to try.

The work around the ranch slowly grew more easier to deal with and quicker with an extra spare skeletal hand around to assist in the daily chores. Charon offered his metalwork and leatherwork skill sets to repair and make new stuff the farm needed. The worn down furniture around the ranch, especially the farmhouse's porch swing upholstered, the leather seating in the cars owned by three of four residents seeing some upkeep and farmhouse kitchen slowly getting some appliances added to it for communal usage.

Charon quickly found himself settling in easily at the cabin in particular that Diego owned. Small and cozy which he found himself quickly coming to love. Kitchenette, bathroom, open bedroom, and small fireplace. Fantastic place for cuddling and especially sex. It still took Charon a long time to actually come to see the cabin and to call it his home regardless if he felt comfortable there much to Diego's chagrin. The cabin saw most of Charon's small influences in the small changes popping up all over from few new metal handcrafted utensils to metal wall decor to plush imp bed by fireplace. The bed once baren of decor apart from bedding was now filled with several more pillows for Charon's comfort during flare up days.
A small stylish metal shelf had been added to a wall to showcase a few of Charon's and Diego's handicrafts. The walls had been kept as is in the color it had been prior to his relationship to Diego and the floor's wooden panelling were kept as is with several more additions of rugs scattered across the small comfortable cabin. A television had ended up getting purchased and added to the cabin for comfort and ease of watching while snuggled up together. Few different types of coffee blends had ended up on the kitchenette's counter and there had been addition of a few more dressers as well as storage to account for Charon's stuff.

The Retina Ranch was just isolated enough for Charon's liking and comfort that he could be at peace & not worry about others fretting over him over colder weather. It also allowed him ample opportunities to brush up on his baking and experiment a bit in the farmhouse kitchen where three very large cookie jars sat; frequently filled to the very brim with his cookies he would bake every visit. They were lucky if they lasted more than halfway through the week Charon would be away at his work.

Charon finally came to see the ranch as his home sometime before his retirement especially when he began to spend more time helping around the ranch while seeking new occupation. Even with his new employment and a more permanent housing, the grumpy Greed would always find himself looking forward to returning to the place he called a home: Retina Ranch.
