Chapter Text
The rain was falling hard onto the roof as thunder and lightning shook the tree. After a long day at the turitopulis hospital, work towards a cure for griefer and coming up short, griefer and I just decided to go back to his tree house and relax. Since his transformation his been struggling to get around without his dads or my help and I can tell it’s eating away at him, we’ve been lucky enough to get his mind back but his body is still trapped as the bubonic plant.
On the way back to the tree we got caught in a thunderstorm, which made the climb up to griefer room even more difficult. We dripping water all over the floor and me with each step, and he wasn’t making it any easier for me by trying to climb up by himself. With how he kept snarling at I can only imagine how much swearing he was doing. After much longer than it needed to take we got up to his bedroom.
Now I needed just to dry him and myself off. With a towel in hand I slowly approach griefer. “Come on man, let me dry you off” I plead, trying to catch his leafs with the towel. This only earned me a snarl and being knocked backwards. “Hey, watch it!” Jumping back onto his large plant head trying my best to dry him as he tries to through me off like a rodeo bull. I manage to stay on him long enough to get ahold of him. “just let me help you! I’m not letting you get into bed when you’re soaking wet!”. He doesn’t listen to my pleas and continues to squirm around, snarling and whining in protest of my help. Griefer’s thrashing around makes the room even more a mess than it was before, his leafs and vines knocking over the empty cans of witches brew and piles of dirty laundry. I groan see the mess, knowing I’ll have to clean that up later but I’m too tired to deal with the now.
Eventually I am able to get the mouthy plant dry enough to let him into our bed, exhausted and sore from pulling griefer around all day I finally let myself collapse into bed. I am given a moment of peace and close my eyes before the bed starts to tilt to one side. I open my eyes to see griefer struggling to get on the bed, he almost shoves me off in the process. “Griefer we can’t both fit in the bed!” I say with a sigh as I climb back into the bed, i gently pat his leafy head as he gently leans into my hand. Smiling softly I lean into him and rest my forehead against his head. “…I know…..I know you hate being stuck like this…” I feel his body start to trembling, hearing a soft cry from him as he tries to curl into my chest only to push me near the edge of the bed. Sighing I climb back into the bed, gently I hold the sides of his head, “come on dandelion, work with me here.” He stares at me for a long moment, or at least I think he does? After a short moment he lifts his head and before I can even question him he flopped his head atop me, knocking the air out of my chest. “Ahh! Fuck! Get your fat head off me you pile of fertilizer!” Squirming under the weight only earns me a chuckle from him. With a groan I accept my fate, seeing no real way out of this. “You owe me for this you, shit head.”
