Work Text:
Twigg was searching the pantry for some edible, non-expired form of food when she heard the front door open and slam close, “Mom? Is that you?”
A grumpy mumble answered her call and she saw her mom trudge past her and into her room.
Twigg’s stomach rumbled and she went to her room to grab her phone.
She texted her boyfriend, Mason, ‘can you meet me at the grocery store?’ Which he responded, ‘Omw!’
She grabbed her keys and wallet and went to the door, “I’ll be back in a bit mom!” She locked the door behind her and walked the empty halls of the apartment complex.
The grocery store was only two blocks away so Twigg arrived rather quickly and saw Mason standing outside playing on his phone.
“Hi Honey.” She teased walking up to him. He looked up as pink tinted his cheeks. “Hi babe. Why’d you call to meet me here?”
Her ears dropped a little, “My mom is in a bad mood and i wanted to make some food to cheer her up and thought you could help.” He looked a little shifty as they first entered the small grocery store, “You sure that me being there is going to make your mom feel better?”
Twigg lightly shoved him and laughed, “My mom loves you, she just like to tease you a lot!” He looked uneasy as she put junk food in the basket, “whatever you say babe.”
They went to check out and went to walk back to her apartment.
As they entered the medium sized apartment, Twigg yelled, “I’m back mom!”
Twigg accepted the slight stirring noise from the bedroom as a response and started to unload the groceries in the kitchen with the help of Mason.
Last Twigg got out the kettle to boil water for the instant noodles, one of her mom’s comfort foods.
Mason unwrapped the three ramen cups and help Twigg pour in the boiling water.
After five minutes of making out on the counter, Twigg thought they’d be ready.
She told Mason to wait in the kitchen while she knocked softly on her moms door, “Mom, I made dinner.” The door creaked open and Belladonna greeted her with a warm tired smile, “Thank you, dear. Sorry today’s shift was just exhausting.” And Twigg nodded empathetically and just as the door was closing Belladonna hissed, “And tell jarhead he’s not allowed to spend the night.”
