Rain [Short Stories]

Secret Closet

"I don't think I get why you collect stupid trinkets like this." He chucked a blue tinted bottle at her much to her dismay.

"I like things that can hold other things." She fumbled with the bottle before placing it back on the shelf,
"...and I watched Wall-E a lot when I was a kid so I like having lots of meaningless trinkets." At this comment, he turned towards her with a huge smile on his face.

"Wall-E? That's so cute. You're like a little robot hoarder."

"I'm not a hoarder-a robot? Yes. But not a hoarder." She fired back with a smirk but he just rolled his eyes and turned to the closet.

"So, if I open your closet, boxes of antiques aren't going to pour out?" He shot her an evil glance, teeth barred into a devilish smile.

She went pale, and as if on cue, she robotically stepped forward.
"No-don't."

It was too late, he yanked the closet open. His chocolate covered cherry eyes filled with the light blue of the portal taking up the space of the door frame. His mouth fell open, and he teetered towards her with a look that said 'explain yourself.'

She just smiled sheepishly, lifting one shoulder in a half-shrug. "I mean, I tried to take you that one time." She cackled, ducking under his arm that still held the door open and into the glowing blue of the portal. Of course, he was dragged with her whether he really wanted to or not.

She wasn't about to let him pass up this opportunity twice.
