Adopt Me (A Don't Starve x Reader Story)

Pick Your Poison

I walked through the doors to my lonesome abode. "Fuuuuuuck." I cursed outloud and flopped down on the couch. I accidentally sat down on the remote, turning the tv on. I sighed and tried to search for the small device when suddenly a comercial came on. It was silent, except for the old tune music playing in the background with words poping up on the screen. Huh, reminded me of "Don't Starve" a video game I watched Markiplier play, except it was a pet store comercial. "I should check it out, looks nice. Plus it's lonely here, I could use a friend!" I jeered and grabbed my car keys. 

I headed out, locking my house up and getting into the car. It took only about 10 minutes to get to the store. I was suprised to see no cars parked outfront, it almost looked deserted! I parked and got out, hesitantly looking around before walking up to the front doors. I opened them to be greated by a small bell chiming and rustling coming from behind the large counter. I slowly paced up to the desk as a male with ruffled dark black hair stood up and smiled. I could tell he hasn't slept in a few days. His skin was pale, he had blue eyes, and on his name tag was John scrawled out in chicken scratch. 

I smiled sweetly at him. "How can I help you, m'am?"  He asked. I opened my mouth to tell him I was only browsing before I heard mewling and hisses coming from the back of the store. "Ah, don't mind those buggers, they're just a new litter  that was left on my store's door step." He said as he caught on to my curiousity. "You wanna see 'em?" He ask me. I nodded happily and he walked me back to a large pen that had a latch gate. There was about 10 or so kittens running around. One was all black with small spikes of hair on his head. Another was cream colored with white blotches, she had a flower pin clipped to her collar. 

"They all look so cute..." I mummbled and heard John chuckle. "Hard to say that these are the only animals we have for sale at the moment." He said and handed me a cat wand. "Go on, see which one you might want, but choose carefully. " He winked and walked off to get some adoption forms. I blinked twice before stepping over the small wall of the pen and sitting down in the middle of the small space. I traced the handle of the wand with one finger before a small black kitten that had a white spot covering most his face wandered over and started batting at the feathered tip. I smiled as it melted my heart. I just wanted to adopt them all! Too bad I can't though.

I watched as the raven kitten with the spikey hair bit into a squeaky ball shaped like a atomic atom. He rolled around with it for a moment before focusing his attention on me. He sniffed me all around and tried to climb up to get nose to nose with me. I giggled and picked him up. He squirmed and his eyes locked with mine. He squinted his eyes and I smiled. I set him down and got up just as John came back. He helped me out of the pen. I gave him the feather wand and he handed me a clipboard with a menchanical pencil. I turned and looked at the kittens again. "So, which one is it going to be?" He asked in that lacey tone of his. 

Which one will you choose?
