Fangs and Fur: chapter 10

Cool air blew against them as Angel entered the store. He felt how the human squirmed around a bit, seemed like it was a bit too cold for him. That didn't really matter though, he just had to make sure Xavier was nicely hidden in his fur. He didn't need anyone asking questions about him, let alone find out about Xavier to begin with. They'd take him away from him and he didn't want that. This was his human.. and he wouldn't want to share. Plus from all of his people he knew the most about humans, how frail they were, how they popped under his boots and how fun it was to crush them up in his mouth. He could practically feel their squirms in his maw already!

He let out a small purr which alerted the cashier. Their dark blue eyes looked at him, as they furrowed their brows and bared their teeth. Their light blue fur seemed to quite literally sizzle. Getting up from their chair, they stared at Angel intensely, clenching their fist. "It's you again! You still owe me money, remember?" Angel sighed and shrugged dramatically "It is what it is, I don't have your money at the moment.. hey maybe next time you're lucky and I'll remember." The cashier guy just growled, yet seemed to back off. Crossing their arms, they sat back down on their chair. Angel gave them a big grin and quickly made his way to some of the aisles.

He stopped in the middle of the aisle and gently petted his companions head, who was still shaken up by the current encounter. However Angel didn't seem to really care and instead bent down in order for Xavier to see the aisles that were meant for smaller people. "So.. you can show me what you can eat here and I'll just prepare you a nice meal with the items that I will then choose, alright?" Xavier cocked a brow "What you choose? I want to choose what I want to eat." the giant sighed, rolling his eyes and glanced down at Xavier. Between gritted teeth he hissed "Unless you want to cook a meal on my giant stove alone, I'm the one choosing the meal, got it?"

Xavier scowled and looked away. He'd cross his arms, yet the fur around him kept his arms in place... Like some gross furry prison. He wasn't even sure if this giant monster felt the need to shower in the first place. Xavier continued to pout like a little kid, until the corners of his mouth began to ache. It wouldn't have been a problem to him, though even the short period of time being around Angel made him feel pathetic. These emotions were new to him, never before had he felt like this. He hated his frail body, seeing how weak it was compared to the giant, who held his life in his hands. . . Or paws or whatever you would call them. The way none of his actions truly had any effect now only fed this strange, disgusting, new feeling. Even his own meal was chosen by the colossal beast, as if he wasn't even human. A person with thoughts and feelings, rather a toy or a.. pet who couldn't survive on its own. A creature bred to be held captive, a creature whose only purpose is to serve and entertain.

Anger began to boil in him again, it could've cooked up a whole meal, even for someone like him. He wanted nothing more than to scream, to rip out strands of fur and make himself known and show this world that he was of importance and not just some animal. Yet, not only was his voice merely a whisper to these giants, his diminutive size and the fear of angering the one who tore off his favourite leg stopped him. He paused.His favourite leg? Now even his own mind was against him, making sure those grueling feelings within him grew darker, and thus harder to bare. He felt so betrayed by himself.

How could he even think such things.

Lost in his own headspace, the sudden feeling of cold metal pressing against his face made him jolt up. "If you're done grumbling around like the stomach of a bear, can you help me choose the food items you can eat? I can't read your mind, ya know?" Xavier let out a huff, at least his own thoughts were in control of him.. for the most part at least.

Turning his attention to the can, he noticed that the image displayed on it, resembled that of a tomato. Sure, the colours were slightly off and it's shape was a bit different, however, overall it resembled a tomato. With an annoyed sigh, he gave Angel a yes in the form of a grumble.

What Angel thought to be a smile of happiness, that he was giving by bringing the human here, was in reality a smirk coming from Xavier, who enjoyed the fact that he could choose how to respond to him. Regardless of what Xavier's true intentions were, for just a moment, both of them were happy.

Even though Xavier knew he'd get on Angel's nerves, only answering with grunts and small nods, and risking losing another leg, he also knew that Angel would have to wait until they were back at home to let his frustration out on him. Though his anger would've surely be gone by then. And even if not, seeing Angel force a smile, trying to hide his feelings, made it worth the risk. After another gesture of acceptance to one of the food items Angel had shown him, his eyes wandered to the floor. There, near one of the small isles, was a tiny woman wandering around. She barely reached Angels ankles, yet didn't seem to mind and continued her shopping. She was wearing a nice pink dress, with a big white bow, that gave off the illusion as if she had big puffy wings. For a second he thought it was a human, that perhaps Angel lied to prevent him from leaving or crying out. Yet, to his pity, upon closer inspection he noticed small, inhuman features that clearly painted a different picture, such as pointy ears, golden eyes and small black markings on both their face and hands. Upset that the feeling of loneliness returned, in a sarcastic tone he whispered up to Angel "Oh look! Another tiny person, are you going to eat them too now?" Angel let out an indignant gasp. He glared at Xavier, snarling at him and growling loudly "I don't eat every tiny person I see! Urgh, I have enough of y-" A shrill noise, which resembled that of a hiss, from below cut Angel off. The woman seemed to have heard what Angel said and didn't look all too happy by his words. With a surprisingly loud voice, she hissed back "How could you say that! Are you trying to make me scared? What the hell is wrong with you for thinking of doing that! Oh... wait till your mother hears about this, young man!" She approached him, leaving a trace of sparkles behind, and kicked his foot. With that, she flicked her hair, let out an annoyed huff and floated away.

Xavier's mouth was gaping in surprise and joy of the sudden outburst and bravery coming from the lady. Looking up at Angel, he saw he was visibly upset, with a big frown and wide eyes, like a child that accidentally broke something. That only making the situation funnier to him. Trying his best not to burst out laughing "h..heh- what did she mean with.. telling your mom?" Angel shot him a deadly glare and, behind gritted teeth, uttered "She often buys pastries at my Mother's bakery.. and sometimes they have a little chit-chat about work, life and.... me." Angels ears twitched and slowly dropped down, pushing Xavier over the edge. Without warning, he burst out laughing, having to grip Angels fur tightly to steady himself. Tears of genuine joy rolled down his cheek, as he laughed about how embarrassing the situation was for Angel. Angel on the other hand didn't like this humiliation one bit, however before he got the chance to snatch up his little companion and shove him down his throat to shut him up, the cashier called him over. With a groan, he shoved Xavier down into his fur again. At least that muffled his laughter.

Clenching his fist and holding his bag, with the items he needed for a nice meal in the other, he marched over to the register. Forcing a smirk when he approached the register, he kept a distance so the cashier wouldn't notice anything off. "That lady complained that you were saying something about.. eating tiny people? Man.. I know you're weird and all, but do you have to scare off customers like that? Just keep what's on your head to yourself." The Cashier said nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair and stretched his arms, as if he was used to Angels weird comments. "Oh! Hah, that-.." Angel paused, thinking of how to cover himself, before getting an idea, "You see, as an entertainer, I have many roles I have to jump in! This.. was just me accidentally blurting out one of my characters thoughts.. to make them more.. authentic when it's time to present them, hahaha!" The cashier sighed and shook his head. With a gentle, yet stern voice he responded "Be more careful with your words next time, the lady wasn't all too pleased, thats for sure. Sigh, now get out of here before I kick ya out.. and get me my money, you know I charge for extra food. Oh and.. say hi to your mother from me when you go visit her, those cream puffs were immaculate." A mocking grin formed on the cashier's lips, saying those last few lines, seemingly knowing that they'd upset Angel. Clearly hurt by those words, he turned away and stormed out of the shop, taking the items with him, as he heard small chuckles.

They not only came from the cashier, but also from Xavier, who had listened to their brief conversation. Glaring holes into his fur, he plucked Xavier out of it and shook him slightly. "It was not funny at all! It's.. it's not my fault my mother has so many damn connections!" Angel growled, "you... You guys can't just make fun of me like that!" Xavier, on the other hand, had to try and force himself to stop "Cmon big guy, it was kind of funny.. and stop shaking me, unless you want your fur to be covered in barf " Angel shrieked and stopped almost instantly. The more Xavier looked into Angel's puffed up, blushing red face, the more he began to slowly feel a bit bad for laughing at him, his wide, glassy eyes, as if he were on the verge of crying, made that feeling grow. It was like staring into the eyes of a puppy, which was partially adorable, yet on the other hand uncanny. He didn't want to feel pity for this giant, especially when he looked at him that way. Though as he glanced at the bag Angel was carrying, realising he had just walked out without paying, the guilt washed away like mouthwash.

How could he not pay underpaid workers? They were trying to make a living and he didn't even give the man a dime. In fact, he didn't even remember Angel taking a wallet with him. Was Angel so used to stealing items, he stopped taking money with him? And was the money that angel owed, the cashier was referring to? Then why would he allow Angel to shop further.. to further undermine the work cashiers were doing. The job he himself did. He should've called the cops! Unless.. they didn't have those. Not even a justice system for people who wanted to make a living. The happiness he felt was now replaced with resentment, again. Though before he could comment on how disrespectful Angel was, he heard a quivering voice coming from Angel "Im.. I'm trying to get you food so you don't die and you repay me by laughing at me! Just wait till we're home! Oh.. I'm gonna-"

He stopped mid-sentence. His ears twitched and his pupils dilated, as he looked around frantically. He slowly backed away, trying to re-enter the store, yet, to Xavier's surprise and confusion, a loud thud was heard, causing Angel to stop. As Angel hastily turned around, Xavier saw how the doors were now barricaded with metal bars, preventing anyone from entering.

The Cashier, now visibly disturbed, was hiding behind his register, shaking his head violently as Angel frantically tried to get back inside. With frustration, he exclaimed "Let u-.. Let me in! Let me in!!" Though the cashier didn't make any effort to open up the door and rather rudely replied "No! Unless you get me my money, you're not coming inside! Everyone for themselves!" With that, the doors fully shut, with a metal wall fully sealing the entrance shut. Xavier grew more and more irritated with each passing moment with Angels sudden change in demeanour. These feelings only grew when he saw how people were running away, surprisingly not from Angel for once, yet something else entirely. Even Angel was now quickly walking away from the store, clearly distraught by.. something. His eyes darted around, trying to look for.. something.

A child could be heard crying somewhere behind them, with people trying to soothe them, as they escorted them away by the hand. Despite the lack of the ability to smell fear, from the way everyone was acting, nothing but terror was in the air, only fuelling his own fear. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, mustering up the courage to ask Angel ".. What the hell is going on. Why.. why is everyone acting up. . . . Oh man, I- I don't like this at all.." Angel let out a hefty sigh, taking a sudden turn and pressing himself against the wall, to allow others to pass by swiftly. Barely paying attention to Xavier flailing his arms around, waiting for a response. He tried to focus on something, as he answered Xavier, a bit annoyed "You can't.. hear the alarm? Seems like your ears are horrible too... What even is good about your bodies other than they taste quite good?" Xavier, not enjoying being in the dark, quickly snapped back "That was unnecessary. A- and.. no. I can't.. hear any alarms! What's this supposed alarm even for? And get to the point this time..! " Rolling his eyes and looking back down at Xavier, Angel huffed "Well I'm sorry that I'm trying to concentrate, to know where I should be heading. Right now, our only goal is to get away from that thing."Before Xavier can ask what "that thing" was supposed to mean, a loud roar could be heard in the distance.

Xavier tried to muster up a response, yet the sight of a large, purely black beast, raising itself to its feet, towering over the buildings themselves, made him lose his voice. Not only did it remind him of when Angel attacked his own city, this creature.. thing .... Or whatever it was, looked so disturbing, so unnatural, it truly shook him to his core. It let out another bloodcurdling screech, smashing one of the nearby buildings with one of its large claws, tearing it apart. Xavier's head was racing, but the only thing that came to his mind was more questions. Where the hell did that thing come from? Was this just another one of Angels people? Or was it something else entirely. Why did it seem as if these people were used to it, did this happen often? Yet in the end, only one question remained

Would they make it out alive?
