DualSign two strangers locked inside a grocery store at three am together au
He pulls hard on the handles again. The doors slam against the the lock and Orpheus groans. “God fucking dammit. How does this even happen? They had to see me come in! I just wanted some fucking shitty snack food.”
He puts his head against the doors and sighs from his toes. Is it worth it to smash the door open or should he just call the damn police to let him out? Ughhhh.
“We should look for a key or something.” The voice comes from behind him and Orpheus about jumps out of his skin. He whirls around and there’s a man rubbing an eye standing there. “There has to be something to get us out or at least it gives us something to do while the police take their time getting here.”
Orpheus just stares at him for a minute. “...right. Yeah, I’ll call the police.” He pulls his phone out as the other man moves behind the counter. It only takes a short conversation to get a car dispatched to them. The other man is still rooting around behind the counter and when Orpheus turns to look he’s leaning on the counter chewing on a candy bar. “You better fucking pay for that so we’re not hauled off as thieves.”
“Right, right. Of course I will.” He flaps a hand. “I’m Sai by the way. Do you think the owner was just really tired? I know I was. I dozed off in the back as I was trying to grab drinks for Karkat’s club meeting tomorrow.”
Wow, sleeping in the grocery store is pretty bad. Orpheus shrugs. “Happens to all of us...I guess.” He eyes the candy bar Sai is finishing off. “...throw me one of those dammit.”
Sai grins and tosses one over.
