Summary:

WRITTEN BEFORE NOVEMBER 1ST - I QUALIFY AS A WHUMPTOBER COMPLETIONIST

 

Written for Whumptober day 21: "Don't Move". Title taken from Joy Stops Time by Fucked Up.

 

Snotlout makes a choked noise. “Ow, Fishlegs, that fucking hurts–”

 

“Sorry!” Fishlegs says, sounding genuinely apologetic. Snotlout rolls his eyes. “Don’t– it’s fine. Am I good?”

Notes:

writing about gay people again... oh woe is me

In the end notes, you will find several ceasefire petitions and relief funds that would benefit Palestinian citizens. Now and forever, I stand with Palestine, and you should too. My heart goes out to any and all people affected by the current genocide, whether Israeli or Palestinian. Even if you don't read the fic, I'd love for you to check out the links.

enjoy :)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Don’t move,” Fishlegs says, and Snotlout groans. “Am I nearly done? I have to get back out there.”

Fishlegs eyes him suspiciously. “Why do you need to pick so many berries, anyway?”

Snotlout glares. “Don’t worry about it. Just– am I done?”

“Nearly,” Fishlegs tells him. “Just let me make sure they won’t come off.” He tightens the bandages, and Snotlout makes a choked noise. “Ow, Fishlegs, that fucking hurts–”

“Sorry!” Fishlegs says, sounding genuinely apologetic. Snotlout rolls his eyes. “Don’t– it’s fine. Am I good?”

“You’re good. Just… let me help you, okay? We can split up, cover more ground… pick more berries, I guess?” Fishlegs blinks at him, and Snotlout sighs. “Fine. You can help.”

“Good.” Fishlegs smiles warmly, taking his hand and pulling him off the bed. “Don’t fall into another bush.”

“Whatever.”

Snotlout reaches his berry goal faster with Fishlegs on his side, and the competition is won.

Tuffnut seems a little put out.
