Rain started puttering down from the heavens, clouds darkened the morning sky, and small claps of thunder could be heard in the far distance.
Many stayed indoors today, to ensure they wouldn't be caught in the twists of the wind, or to be smitten by the lighting.
You however, ran out of your vanilla extract milk, meaning you needed to get more, along with food for the next few days till your mother came home.
Suiting yourself in a rain jacket and the best shoes you had for this weather, sneekers.
You sat yourself on the couch, the TV turned on to a weather forecast, paying close attention, just incase you needed to stay home.
"The weather in Ebott has been reported with strong uneasy wind currents and heavy rain, civilians are advised to say at home or walk till the storm clears......."
The news woman was interrupted by the people behind the camera.
Pressing her ear with her index finger, listening closely to who was talking on her receiver, a suddle worried expression moulded on her features and thick makeup.
Clearing her throat she began to speak.
"I have recently been informed that the storm is beginning to-"
"M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!!!!!!!"
The channel abruptly changed to the classic child show "Mickey mouse clubhouse" making you have a jumpscare.
Looking to your left you saw Kris with the television remote, eyes tired and hair a mess along with his wings, wearing his PJ's that was printed with small smiling emojis.
He brushed past you and smothered himself into the couch, immediately turning his attention to the screen.
You shrugged yourself off your seat, adjusting the rain jacket before zipping it up fully before making your way to the front door.
"K Kris, I'm going out, make sure to not burn the house down this time" you joked, Kris rolled his eyes in response, you laughed softly to his remark.
Pulling the hood over your head you exited your house.

You slowly made it through the streets that was flooded, claps of thunder making you jolt upwards every time they clashed.
Many of the stores were closed to the bad weather but you were insistent on getting your milk!!
You could feel the raindrops pooring into your clothes, the cold water making you shiver everytime the wind would hurl your way.
In the corner of your eye, you saw maybe the most pink building in existence.
Lights so bright that it could be mistaken for the sun, spelling out.
METTATONS MALL
Squinting, you could see a robot in hot pink heels and shoulder pads, brilliant green, blue and yellow peacock feathers fluttered out their back that was formed by the bright lights.
Thunder clapped yet again, making you sprint into the large building, pushing through the doors and quickly entering.
Apon entering, you could see a mall in a pink, pop star esthetic.
However you couldn't see anyone wondering, only the workers in the shops idling by aimlessly for their shifts to end.
One shop caught your interest, walking towards it steadily; you are still shook from the clapping of thunder.
The shop was small, an orange anthropomorphic cat clashed greatly with the hot pinks, his wings where an orange brown with white highlights, they looked either uncared for or just messy, afew patches missing of feathers from possible stress, he looked no greater: messy unbrushed fur with patches of dirt or maybe grease, a cigarette between his teeth while the ashes threatened to fall, he looked tired and under great stress, judging by his fur and wings, he was 19, but could easily be mistaken as a late twenty because of his manner.
He took no notice to your arrival, possibly he is asleep.
Walking to the counter you saw a menu above, all poppy and highlighted the specials, "glam burgers" caught your attention the most along with a glam shake, maybe your brother would like those for dinner till your grocery store opens after the storm.
"Um, excuse me," you check the man's name tag........ Burger pants? "Mr Burger pants?"
Burger pants quickly stirs awake, flinching slightly to his sudden awareness, he looks to you and sighs, lifting his head ever so slightly, his back bent and head low, and quickly stubbed his cigerette out and looked at you with tired eyes and a forced, unnatural smile.
"Hello and welcome to METTATONS GLAM FOOD SHOP, home to the GLAM BURGER!, What would you like?" He said in a forced happy tone, his smile somehow wider than before... He looked almost pleading for you to just make your order and go, you relate.
"May I please get a double order of the glam burger and shake?" You ask politely, Burger pants writes down the order on paper and hands it to the chef on the other side of the window, a obvious fake smile on his features, his wings shuffling in a agitated way. You gave him a solemn look, he looked way worse off than you, you dug through your purse (actually a backpack) and pulled out a bag of tea, while doing so, Burger pants peeped over the counter to see what you were doing, but quickly brushed it off the moment you looked back to him.
It was rosemary tea!
You handed the tea carefully into Burger pants' paws, a look of surprise and shock followed his tired face. He has never been given a gift, especially from a complete stranger....
"W-whats this?" He asked, completely shook, you gave him a smile.
"It's rosemary tea, it helps for hair stress and memory" you explained, you knew exactly what types of herbs do what, and it was quite obvious he may be under a load of stress.
Perks of being a biologist I guess.
"How'd you..." He trailed off.
"I study biology, so it's kind of easy to read others" you smiled, Burger pants opened his mouth to say something, but the ring of a bell interrupted you two.
Burger pants gives his thanks and your food before you bidded him goodbye.
The momentary peace distracted you from the hell storm outside.
You almost forgot you were still dripping wet aswell....
Taking a deep breath and securing the food into your bag, you quickly sped off into the cold rain and storm.
Meanwhile by Burger pants, he stared as you rushed out the mall into the storm, the box of tea fitted perfectly in his patched paws, no one ever seemed to care of his obvious stress, you were a strange person, with many secrets, but to still care for someone, non the less him.
He felt cared for.
Though, he wonders why you cover what he would guess are beautiful wings.
***
Your teeth chitterd as your soaked self froze to the winds strong breeze, man do you regret going out, but atleast you got food!
You made your way carefully across the dirt muddy path back home, trees aggressively swayed left and right, trying their best to stay rooted from the strong winds. You swayed with them to also attempt to stay put.
Thunder clapped, then again, you looked up to see ahead. But was not prepared to see what happened next.
