Tom tapped his sharp, black nails on the counter. Normally the shop was packed, but today was an awfully empty day. The shop was rather spacious, with bleak, purple walls, and shelves full of mysterious and strange oddities, like animal carcasses and cursed gems. There were taxidermied wild animals on the walls and strange knives and weapons hanging from every corner. It certainly didn't seem like a place for a cheery person to be. Until now.
"Heeello, my little Poison Ivy!" Vinicius said as he knocked down the door, completely unaware of his surroundings. "Hey Kitten. What are you doing here?" Tom asked as he slumped into his chair, toying with a pocket knife he recently got. "I just wanted to check on my boyfriend, that's all! What else do you think I was gonna do?" Vinicius said with a lovestruck smile on his face. Doofus.
"Look, Vini, I appreciate you coming to check on me and all, but now's not the time. I really need to be alone right now." He said, frowning gloomily. Vinicius's giddy smile turned into a worried frown. "Is everything ok? Did something happen?" "It's nothing, Vini, really." Tom muttered. "Tom, I'm your boyfriend, you can tell me if something happened." Tom sighed.
"Before I started working here, the shop was always packed with people. The exact same day I started working here, theres been a notable decline. It's been like this for days." Tom slammed his face into the counter. Vinicius looked at Tom with concern. "I'm sorry to hear that, Tom. But its not your fault, you know? That's business, sometimes you make money and attract customers, and sometimes you don't. Who knows, maybe tomorrow, the place will be packed." He smiled again. His smile was like sunshine on a gloomy day, something great to see on your darkest days. "Hehe, thanks. Who knows what the future will hold? I'm not psychic, ya know."
He perked up and crossed his legs on the chair. "Now that that's settled...what'll you be buying?" He smirked and stared at Vinicius. Vinicius blushed. "Well, I was wondering if I could get this knife set and a gallon of fake blood? I need it for a theatre production." Tom ran to the cash register and marked that up to $10.99 for the knife set and $29.00 for the blood. In total, that makes $39.99. Damn. "That'll be $39.99. Cough up the money, just because you're my boyfriend doesn't mean it's on the house." Vinicius groaned and gave him the money. "Thank you. Every purchase comes with a free horror novel, since we bought five boxes too many of these and now we need to get rid of them. Sweet dreams." Vinicius gave him a kiss and went out the door, but not before waving goodbye at his boyfriend. "Bye my little carnation! See you later!" "See ya later, monkey boy." They looked happy.
