Red Riding Hood

19.

Red's POV

It's been a week since I went to Xavier's mansion, where I met his father, and it's now Sunday morning. I'm sitting on the couch watching scooby doo in my soft pikachu onesie.

Don't judge.

I have a bowl of fruit loops in lap that I'm currently munching on, I hear footsteps come towards me from the kitchen and look to see my grandmother in her pale pink silk pyjamas, her wrinkled face tired and her short, thin, 1950's styled greying hair disheveled. She looks up to me and tiredly rubs her eyes.

"Good morning Red." She yawns, I swallow a mouthful of fruit loops.

"Good morning grandmother." I say, she looks at the T.V then back at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Scooby Doo?" She asks, I furrow my brows and I pout.

"Hey! Scooby is awesome okay. So is Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred." I say finishing my bowl of fruit loops, grandmother shakes her head at me.

"Okay, today you are getting out of the house, I don't care what you do but you are going even more crazier, soon enough i might have to bring you to an Asylum." She gives me a pointed look, I just roll my eyes.

"You know what? Fine. I was going to explore the town anyway." I say, putting the empty bowl and spoon in front of me on the coffee table and go to leave out the front door, but my grandmother interrupts.

"In a pikachu onesie and no shoes while your hair looks like a birds nest?" She raises an eyebrow at me.

Oh...

I just look up to her and open my mouth, inhaling a breath and holding it in for a few seconds before realising it and slumping my shoulders down in defeat.

"I'm gonna go get changed." I mumble to her before making my way up the wooden steps and into my spacious room, when I close the door I go into my closet, grab a random pair of jeans, a t-shirt and my red hoodie and some matching blue underwear before going back inside the bathroom.

I lock the door behind me and set my clothes on the closed toilet lid. I strip for my clothes and turn the shower to a nice cold temperature before stepping in.

The cold water rains down on my skin and my breaths become short, goosebumps claim my skin and I close my eyes, letting the water rain on my hair and trail down my body. I grab my cherry blossom body wash and squeeze some into my hands, the bottle makes a gargle sound, reminding me that I need some more.

After I wash and rinse my body and my hair, i shave my legs and underarms, thanking the universe that I didn't cut myself. I shut off the water and step out of the shower, I grab a white fluffy towel from the rack and quickly pat my body dry before wrapping it around my hair.

Just for the fun of it, I sit down on the cold tiled ground and start brushing my hands up and down my shaved legs.

So soft...

I quickly stand up and get dressed in my clothes, I walk over to the sink and grab my toothbrush and toothpaste and start brushing my teeth.

Once I was done with all of that, I unwrap my hair from the towel and plug in my hairdryer before blow drying my hair. Once I was done, my hair looked a bit frizzy so I added some coconut oil into my hair and it made it my curly brown hair look nice and silky.

I step out of the bathroom and grab my phone from my bedside table, unplugging it from its charger, slip on some ankle high white converse and make my way back downstairs and into the kitchen where my grandmother is drinking a cup of coffee, still in her silk pyjamas.
