January 9
A bed, and a mini-fridge. That was all he had. Well, those and a few plants - a bonsai bush, and a couple of apple trees. It wasn't much, but it was definitely a start. The issues began when it rained one night and he still didn't have a roof. Disgusted and uncomfortable, and suddenly realising that his fridge was broken because of the weather, he packed them up and brought them to the onsen where he could sleep comfortably without getting wet.
The first thing he did upon waking up was to fix the fridge, and apologise to the onsen patrons who were starting to steadily trickle in. There had been no-one in the building when he had arrived there in the early hours of Wednesday morning but now... He didn't even get to sleep for very long for fear of upsetting the patrons and was soon out the door for some snowboarding, ignoring how sleep deprived he felt. He was glad that it wasn't raining here in Yukimatsu and dreaded returning to Wakaba for the time being. As he snowboarded, when he wasn't having to concentrate too much on staying upright, he found himself thinking of Hunter. It had been a few days now since he had last seen him, and resolved to invite him out somewhere on the weekend. He supposed he had been far too preoccupied with school and fishing to talk to Hunter and hoped like mad that the other boy understood the reason for his silence.
Fishing to make some more money was next on his task list - to get through autumn, he'd need a proper roof over his head and not have to rely on the onsen. Skilled enough now to catch large sturgeon, he made his first 1,000 simoleons and was able to build a rudimentary shack, the Watcher granting him a simple four walls, roof and a door as he discovered when coming home from school on Wednesday afternoon. Nestled inside were of course his bed and mini-fridge, both now safe from the weather which was set to get steadily worse as autumn progressed and winter came.
He was also able to expand his garden with 2 more bonsai buds that fishing had given him and eagerly awaited his first harvest, very glad that they were in season, as were the apple trees.
He sat down on his bed and looked around the tiny room. It just needed something that little bit extra... Aha! He grinned as he realised just what the tiny home needed, and placed the selfie he had taken with Hunter on the wall above his bed. (Now it's almost a home) he thought to himself, somewhat amazed at what he had accomplished since coming here with absolutely nothing. Sure, it wasn't much right now, but as it expanded and grew it would become so much more, and he could feel proud of himself.
Every so often he would go back out to Yukimatsu to snowboard, enjoy the onsen, and waste his money on Simmis that never turned a profit, subsequently wondering whether he should just give up on collecting those, but he had heard stories of some extremely valuable ones that others had found. But for now, fishing was an excellent way for him to make money and have some fun while he was at it. And the fish he could catch now were enormous.
Friday evening came and Aaron found himself in the park, about to start a school project and roped in assistance from one of the girls he had met on Monday, Kenzie, who had been passing by. When the project was finally finished, he decided to play some chess and met a boy who introduced himself as Aldo.
Returning home, he went to bed and woke up to find that the Watcher had placed down a very peculiar bush in a corner of his lot.
"You expect me to pee in this?" he grumbled when he realised what the Watcher wanted him to use it for. He swore he heard laughter then (is the Watcher mocking me?!) but went ahead and used it anyway, because for once it was clear he wasn't going to get to go to the park today just yet. And he had really needed to pee anyway, but that didn't change just how gross it was.
His garden was ready to harvest, and as he picked apples and bonsai buds to sell, once again he thought of Hunter and the connection they shared. And after he sold his produce, he remembered that the Festival of Snow would be held later that day and felt excited at the prospect of inviting Hunter to come along. Maybe they could build a cool snowpal together, or even go sledding. That would be fun...

Whoops this turned into a lot of story lol (haha guess I'm making up for yesterday which had none). But Aaron finally has a little shack! it's not much to look at but at least he can stay dry from the rain now :D
Also yes I did have him take his bed (it's portable) and fridge to the onsen to get out of the rain :joy:
