Your POV
You were walking through ikea. You needed a new nightstand so why not go to ikea? You make jokes to yourself as you read the Swedish names for all the furniture. You were finally in the nightstand section checking out all the offerings when you heard some voices.
"No Sid get down!" One voice scolded.
A man with dyed red hair was standing on a table while another man with long black hair was looking up at him.
"You refused to buy me meatballs so I will cause chaos!" The guy who you assumed was Sid shouted back.
The guy with the long black hair pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. Suddenly you felt a tap on your shoulder and turned around. A younger guy with long brown hair was looking at you.
"God they do this all the time, I can never bring them anywhere." The guy said tiredly.
"Oh that sucks?" You didn't know how to respond.
"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself." The guy said." I'm Jay."
"Nice to meet you, are those guys your cousins or something?" You asked curiously.
"Nah they're my band mates, the tall ones Mick and the one on the table is Sid, we were suppose to get a lamp after the other one was broken." Jay explained.
You nodded your head and you guys ended up watching the scene go down.
"God you're embarrassing me." Mick complained." We're in public Sid."
"Who cares? The public will hear my anger about not getting the meatballs whether they like it or not." Sid replied.
It earned him a couple of stares from other customers.
"If you don't get down by the time I'm done counting to ten I will strangle you." Mick threatened.
"You're not Shawn!" Sid shouted in return.
Jay sighed a little as he looked at the lamp in his hands.
"I can buy him meatballs if he really wants them." You offered.
"Oh my god you're a life saver." Jay replied.
You ran off to get meatballs for Sid. Once you returned it was a little more chaotic. Sid had managed to break at least one nightstand.
"Fucking get down." Mick said angrily.
"Wait I got the meatballs." You said while holding up the meatballs.
Sid was just about to break another nightstand when he whipped his head in your direction. He jumped down from the nightstand and came running at you full force. He tackled you and grabbed the meatballs from your hand.
"Oh shit." You mumbled from the ground.
Jay came jogging over to you and helped you off the ground.
"Thank you so much and I'm so sorry about him." Jay said quickly.
Sid was hunched over eating the meatballs. Mick slapped Sid on the back of the head.
"God I'm never going out with you again." Mick complained.
"Thank you so much." Jay said again.
"It was nothing." You replied shyly.
You watched them leave with their new lamp in hand. You sighed a little and got back to picking out a new nightstand.
