Chapter Text
The frigid cold pierced Jett's scales as they watched their house get torn down by a group of Joja Mart employees. In the middle of winter, perfect. How in the hell was Jett supposed to survive. That's probably what they want, Jett frowned, rubbing it's arms in a futile attempt to warm up. They slowly crawled away from the farm and up to Sebastian's house, hoping their partner was home. When it got to the door, Jett let out a shaky sigh, and knocked, praying to see his face.
Sebastian opened the door, grunting when the Naga fell on top of him, passing out. He groaned as he picked Jett up under their arms and tail, carrying them inside. He got downstairs, impressing at himself for being able to carry the heavy monster all the way to his room, just before setting them on his bed.
"What the hell were you doing out there?" Sebastian whispered, putting a blanket over Jett's black and grey scales. He frowned pitifully as he watched Jett shiver and shake like a leaf in the wind. Eventually, Jett opened its mouth.
"Couldn't go anywhere elsssse..." was all it could say before tears started pouring from their eyes. "They... they tore it all down... I'm not even sure if..." Jett choked out a sob, "If the rabbits are sssafe..." they rolled over, ashamed to be seen crying by their lover. Sebastian, however, was not ashamed of it for crying. Instead, he ran his fingers through Jett's hair, using the other hand to gently rub the freezing scales on their shoulders.
"It'll be okay... you can... stay in my room if you want. Until we deal with your farm, at least." Sebastian chuckled, frowning again. "When my mom hears about this, she's gonna tear Morris a new asshole."
Jett smiled, wiping away their tears and rolling over. It sat up, flicking it's tongue out for no reason other than to take in Sebastian's smell. "You smell... like sssoup." Sebastian smiled. "Do you want some?" Jett nodded excitedly. "Please."
Sebastian nodded, getting up from the bed and walking upstairs. About 3 minutes later---yes, Jett counted--- he returned with a bowl of pumpkin soup. Handing it over to the snake, he sat back down and watched them carefully as they ate. When it finished, Jett leaned over and rested their head on Sebastian's shoulder. "Thanksss for letting me stay here." They sighed happily, carefully wrapping the end of their tail around the purple haired man's leg.
"Sure thing... I love you so damn much." He sighed, kissing Jett's scaly forehead. "Thank Yoba you didn't die out there. I don't know what I would've done if I'd found you before you could get here."
Jett looked up at Sebastian. "Is Robin really going to... tear Morris a new asshole?"
Sebastian chuckled. "If she doesn't, I sure as shit will. Wanna see if Sam can do anything about it?"
Jett shook their head. "Sam couldn't hurt a fly, even if he is angry, he's too niccce. Maybe Shane would. Dude isn't ssscared of anything."
"Fair point." Sebastian nodded. He turned to face Jett when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Can you... can you lie down with me?" They asked, their face as red as a ruby. Jett's heart almost stopped when they were pulled down onto the bed with Sebastian next to them. It rolled over to face their boyfriend, smiling when his hand touched their cheek, and an arm wrapped around their waist. Their foreheads touched, but that was all they did. Not because they didn't want to, in fact, if they could, they'd have done much more.
The only thing stopping them was the fact that Jett had fallen asleep again, followed by Sebastian, whose eyes couldn't stay open as he listened to Jett's soft breathing.
