Day 9: Where'd All The Doritos Go?
it was a normal day in the Krew household, except for one thing..
There were no Doritos.
Draco opened the pantry for what seemed like a third time. This time, Gold passed by to grab a bag of Ketchup-flavored Lays. "We didn't buy any Doritos when went out. Get over it."
He closed it. "Doritos are my life blood, Gold. I need them to cover up my-"
"Your powers, I know. Who are you, Shun Kaidou? They're just cheesy chips, and besides, maybe it'd be healthier for you." She left the kitchen and Draco sighed.
What sounded fake, was strangely real. Draco had these powers revolving electricity since he was around 5, and when he turned 13, he realized that Doritos were the thing that concealed them.
Having electric powers sounds cool, until you realize the damage it can do. Power outages every week, minor shock to your siblings, and having to be careful around water.
And when he got older, it got worse. Worse enough to send a passer-by to the hospital for almost 3 months.
Ranging from setting mini-fires to even explosions; sometimes he would even lock himself in his room without saying a word all day. That's how scared he was of hurting someone.
"Can you go back and buy some?" He called out to Gold. Gold came out the living room, and just shook her head, before going back in.
Draco went back to the pantry, waiting for his magical chips to arrive.
~0~
"He's still in the kitchen?" Rainbow asked.
Funneh sadly nodded. "Yep. I went in there to get a snack, and he's in there gaping at the pantry."
Rainbow sighed. "I'm concerned about him. There's something he isn't telling us, and it might relate to his problem."
"It's not a problem, Rainbow. Besides, if we meddle with it, we're just lowering his trust with us. We can just make him Doritos-"
"He doesn't like homemade ones." Gold said.
Rainbow scoffed. "Picky now, is he?
"Let's just let him have this one. I'm not going to the store to buy a couple of Doritos, he can buy them himself anyway."
The trio agreed, and went on with the day.
~0~
Draco finally closed the pantry for the night. He had opened it about 150 times today, and decided to close it.
Maybe he should at least try to control his powers instead of relying on Doritos.
But knowing him, he'd probably buy about 6 the next day. (If he could afford it)
