My day in the comic book store was rather slow that day. Only a couple of people had come in so far and none of them had decided to buy anything. It wasn't so bad though, it did give me a chance to work on my own works to get published.
It was around 4:30 at night when the small bell above the door jingled once more and a pair of guys walked in. One of them had ginger hair and a bit of a beard going on with a crap ton of tattoos and the other had the biggest fucking poof of hair that I had ever seen. They were holding hands.
"Awwwh." I cooed in my head.
The couple wandered around the store and giggle at each other when one of them did something stupid. They eventually made their way to the counter with a copy of Umbrella Academy. I smiled slightly when seeing it, I wrote it and it gave me a small burst of pride whenever someone would buy it.
"Just this?" I asked them.
"Yeah." The curly haired one said.
"Do you want me to get this signed? I know the writer personally." I said with a small smirk.
"Oh my god babe should we!?" The ginger guys asked. "Tyler would love it! Babe it's his birthday." The redhead pleaded.
"Would it cost anything extra?" Curly asked.
"Nah. Gee likes knowing that people like his works." I told them. "Just come in tomorrow and it'll be all signed."
"Thank you so much!" They said before leaving.
Little did they know, I'm the writer and illustrator of it. Well all the fans of the comic books. All they knew was my name but nothing about what I look like.
"See you tomorrow." I call after them before proceeding to close up the shop.

The next day was just as quiet as the last and I just continued to work on my comic book. I had signed the copy of Umbrella Academy last night with a small note reading 'hey Tyler so someone said it was your birthday. So here's this really badly thought out note plus some extra bits and pieces' it had my signature after it. I had photocopied some of the drafts for some of the pages and hid them throughout the comic for this Tyler character to find.
I heard the bell once more and in walked the couple.
"Hey guys." I told them and quickly put the comic into a brown paper bag and tape it shut. "Gee put a couple things extra in there for him to find. No extra charge."
"Thanks dude." Curly said.
"No problem." I laughed.
"Do you have kik?" The redhead asked.
"No but I was thinking of making one why?" I replied.
"We have a groupchat with a bunch of our friends, you should join us." Curly said.
"I don't even know you guys." I pointed out.
"I'm Andy and this is Joe." The redhead who I now know to be Andy said.
"Still." I said.
"Pleeeeease." Andy pleaded and Joe pulled a puppy dog face.
"Ugh fine." I sighed and grabbed them a bit of scrap paper and a pen to write their kiks on.
They wrote their kiks down before paying for the comic.
"You better fucking message up or I'll come here and kick your ass." Joe said.
I saluted with a laugh. They laughed too before leaving my small shop.
