Hot stuff

You slowly walk towards the front and take a peek inside though the big window. A light red hue appears on your face as you see a flaming, human like monster wearing a black sweater and blue jeans with cute glasses packing up some boxes with stuff from the bar. The guy takes a moment to rest and spots you staring through the window, slightly turning his head to the side in confusion. You kinda freeze in place and awkwardly smile as you slowly move away and behind the door where he can't see you. "oh my god..." you think to yourself and try to take a deep breath when the door opens in front of you with him standing there. 

embarrassment and a slight bit of fear enter your mind as you look down at your feet with your arms crossed, almost like hugging yourself. "Can i help you with anything?"  A deep but smooth voice asked, you look up at him and notice he's almost a head taller than you: "I oh, uhm... I'm just wondering around, sorry for staring at you" you shyly say. A soft smile appears and nods: "it's alright"
He steps aside and gestures for you to come inside "name's Grillby". A bit flustered you step inside and smile "my name is (y/n), nice to meet you".

The door closes behind you and appreciate the warmth inside, along with the smell of grease and a bit of booze. The walls are painted in a dark shade of red with flower like lamps hanging from them. Grillby walks past you and disappear through a door in the back, you slowly walk over the hardwood floor towards the bar and sit down on a red stool near the jukebox in the corner. "Quite cozy in here" you say just as Grillby comes back with a burger and fries "thanks (y/n)" the big ball of fire says as he places the burger and fries in front of you. "Oh, you didn't have to do that... I don't even have any money on me" "you seemed hungry and I still had some left. Now eat up, it's on the house"  as he mentions that your stomach growls and Grillby chuckles. "thanks" you tell him before taking a bite from the burger, as you eat you notice the boxes on the ground and look back at Grillby who moved sideways and leans against the counter. "you're moving to the surface as well?" Grillby nods "up west" he says a bit gloomy. you raze an eyebrow and eat a fry: "what's on your mind?" Grillby looks over at you a little surprised and crosses his arms, looking away again with a deep sigh: "Being here for so long...I'll miss this place"  you finish eating and nod, taking a moment to think of an answer: "any place feels at home with the right people... and good food" Grillby softly smiles and looks over at you "thank you (y/n)" you get a warm feeling in your chest as the bartender takes your plates and takes them through the back door. A yawn escapes you mouth and you feel exhausted after the long walk. looking behind you it seems that it got dark outside and only the lights on the wall keep the room dimly lit with a yellowish glow, you reach out to your pocket for your phone, only to realize it's not there: "shit..." 

at home somewhere a goofy jingle is playing in the dark
