It was late. Like, almost three in the morning late when Alaric enters the convenience store to get his usual run of snacks and something hot to eat. The poor bastard can’t cook to save his life. So when he wasn’t barging into the homes of his friends or his brother Ryder to have them fork over some of their cooking, he’d go to the convenience store to stock up on junk food and instant ramen for dinner.

Nothing was more satisfying than a lukewarm corndog and an ice-cold Slurpee to wash it down on late nights like this after finally getting out of work. Even if he was often judged and practically lived here with how often he came into this corner store almost on a daily for various things.

Could he have just made something at home to eat anyway? Yes, but at this point, the Fire Department must have been tired of being called by him and might just ignore his call and let nature take its course. Naturally, Alaric didn’t want that. So here he was.

Enjoy the meal pookies ♥️
