[Yandere Meowscarada x Reader] I'll Make Them All Disappear!

4 | Cold Cinderace

Shopping trips are more or less bonuses in your day, because there's really never any need for a sizable supply of food back at home. A few boxes of cereal and milk and drinks and microwaveable dinners, maybe, but you never find yourself spending too much time or money full-blown shopping.

You and Meowscarada are barely at home anyway. That's why you're able to save so much money. There's no need to go blowing it on big dinners and shelf food. The two of you have agreed on getting the bare minimum, whatever gets you through the week, and you'll still occasionally hit the store if need be. Today's one of those free shopping days, the days you and your partner head out for snacks and mini foods and such.

"We'll be quick like always," you say to her as you both walk into the store. "Get whatever you want." At that, Meowscarada is practically grinning from ear to ear. She lets go of your hand and slips away into an aisle, that which displays a number of various beverages and snacks suited primarily for Pokémon. You know she's totally going to pig out when she gets her paws on a bundle of those 'potato chips' that happen to be a sort of cat treat.

For you, you're more of a humble snacker. Yeah, you travel a lot and that means almost everything you eat burns off in a matter of hours, but you still eat in moderation. Though you're pretty sure you could down an entire cake and your fast metabolism wouldn't even let you feel the fatigue.

You pick out some snacks, some drinks, and you're about to call it at that when you bump into someone on your way away from the shelves. You stagger, looking up in the direction of whoever you nearly shoved over.

"Ah, my bad!" you say. "I didn't see..." Your voice trails off as your eyes settle on who you bumped into. A Cinderace with a dim scowl on her face. "... you there."

You try not to look directly into the rabbit's eyes, instead glancing down at the item she picked off the shelf: a box of vanilla wafers made by the brand you'd expect only an old woman to enjoy. But then there's the fact this Cinderace is shopping in the human section. You don't know what to make of it. All there is to do is avoid her rabid stare.

"I-I said I'm sorry." You try to back off but the Cinderace keeps staring you down. Hard to tell if she'll press you and step closer. She looks like the type to pick fights for no reason. There's a glint in her eye that is wildly different from that of Pokémon residing in the care of their trainers. If it weren't for the fact she's fully evolved, you'd think she was wild.

"You're... shopping in the human part of the store, y'know," you say, trying to defuse her blooming anger. "Unless you knew that?"

"Cin-cin." The rabbit grumbles, holding up the box of wafer cookies like she's telling you she came here for them. That she's not stupid. She continues to glare at you like some kind of beast. Seems you've pissed off the wrong hot-tempered Pokémon.

"I see, I see. Sorry." Your eyes scan around the aisle for a moment, trying to spot Meowscarada but she must still be hoarding snacks in the aisle over. You focus back on the rabbit, hesitantly looking into her eyes and offering a quivering smile. "Umm," you begin, "do you need anything else? I could, uh, buy it for you."
