The Dress Shop (A jonatello story)

Mall Fiasco

Casey pov:

Today is August 7th, a Monday, and when I woke up, everything was fine.

Don, Amy, and I all got ready for our days.

Amy was going back to school shopping with April, Karai, and Shinigami, who I've become kind of close with, while Don and I do ours.

I gave Amy a budget of 2k for everything, backpack, clothes, school supplies, everything.

I gave Don and myself the same budget, though we might not spend all of that.

We went to a near by mall for our trip, holding hands as we walk around.

Don has been wearing more clothes recently, mainly soft stuff I've sewn him, but lots of hoodies.

We've done quite a bit of shopping already, only really needing our supplies minus or backpacks.

School restarts from summer break on September 7th...

My mother's birthday...

I never go anywhere, including school, on her or my father's birthday, it's my way of showing them respect and mourn them.

The sound of yelling and the feeling of Don letting go of my hand snaps me out of my thoughts.

I look up and she a woman screaming at us. Judging by how she looks and how she just randomly started yelling at us, she's a Karen.

"It's sick that you two are a thing! One, gays get sent to hell! Two, this is a human child, so get lost, Freakizod!" She yelled.

I stood in front my boyfriend and gave her the best death stare I could make, raising an arm protectively in front of Don.

"Me and my boyfriend are a happy and healthy couple, though it's none of your concern. Now, get out of my sight or else." I tell her calmly, never breaking eye contact.

She looked a bit uneasy.

"Do you know who I am?! I-I know people in high pl-!" She yelled.

"Leave." I cut her off, letting some of my anger slip out of my voice.

She looked scared as she took her bags and started to walk past us, intentionally bumping into Donnie and falling to the ground dramatically.

"Help! Mutant attack!" She screamed.

I looked at her in disgust, then look to my boyfriend who was in tears, it broke my heart.

I reach up to his cheeks and wiped his tears.

The security of the mall came rushing over to the scene the Karen caused.

He looked at the woman, then Don, then me.

"Young man, what's going on here?" He asked me.

"My boyfriend and I were back to school shopping, when this lady just started yelling at us. She mainly focused on him, because he's a mutant, so I protected him. When she started walking off, she intentionally bumped into him and fell, then yelled." I calmly explained to him, then focusing on Don again, who was still crying.

"That little shit is lying! I did no such thing! That freak just randomly pushed me down! He was going to attack me!" She yelled angrily at the security guard.

I looked at Don in worry, knowing that she might win this due to him being a mutant.

He was trying his best to keep his sobs quiet, failing every now and then with a sniffle or sharp breath. He was shaking badly and his beautiful red eyes are puffy from the crying.
