Chapter Text
When Parrot reached out to Wifies for help to try and discover the secret of the server, he didn't expect their friendship to bloom like it did. The more adventures they went on, the more happy Parrot was that he reached out that day to him, he slowly but gradually started to gain feelings for him, so how did things end like this?!
Parrot was running he couldn't afford to look back, couldn't afford to slow down despite his injuries and his extreme exhaustion, he had to keep going to build some distance between him and Wifies assassins. His wings were bound by a strap he couldn't break alone as he wasn't strong enough to do so, oh how he yearned for the freedom to be able to fly high in the sky, where the assassins could never reach him.
He didn't know where he was running to, he just knew he couldn't stop or it would be all over again and he would be once more on wifies grasp. Then suddenly he remembered someone who could arguably be said that went through the same thing as him Branzy, although some could argue that their situations are completely different.
He thought for a second, after being able to get Clown to stop chasing and try to kill him Parrot went to talk to Branzy alone, although he doubts that Branzy was alone at that time he still went and apologized, telling him that he was desperate and didn't mean to actually harm him. Branzy had accepted his apology and said that if he ever needed something to just come to the coordinates he sent to Parrot on his comunicator, Parrot at first didn't understand why but he still saved the coordinates in case he actually needed. Guess that time finally came.
With that in mind Parrot pulled his communicator out and searched for the message that would give him the coordinates, once he found it he started to make his way to wherever Branzy and most probably Clown would be. He just hoped that they wouldn't try to kill him.
——————————————————————————————
He was getting close, but his body was starting to give up on him, his exhaustion was starting to caught up to him, he hadn't slept in days, barely has eaten and he didn't stop running even once, the fear that the assassins would catch up to him and send him back to Wifies kept his adrenaline on high levels, levels he hasn't experienced since the fall of the mafia.
He tried to keep running but he felt like his body wasn't going to answer him anymore, he was slowly losing consciousness and right before he fell to the ground he saw a mask who he distantly remembers Clown using.
Branzy was waiting inside for Clown to come back when he heard fighting sounds, he rushed outside to see Clown and Ferre kill a bunch of invisible assassins [which he can only assume are assassins]. But what had actually caught his attention was that they weren't fighting aggressively, they were fighting defensively as if trying to protect someone and that was when Branzy spotted the blue, yellow, green and orange feathers that reminded him alot of Parrot. Squinting his eyes he was able to see that the unconscious person on the ground was actually Parrot, Branzy never thought he'd move this fast but he had to take the avian away from the fight, that way Clown and Ferre could focus on the assassins and not worry if Parrot was going to get more injured than he currently was.
He managed to get Parrot on his back and made his way back inside the base, as Clown and Ferre noticed that Parrot was safe inside, they finally left the defensive stance and changed to aggressiveness. It wasn't long before the assassins were gone and they themselves made their way to the inside of the base.
They found Branzy taking care of Parrots injuries in one of the spare rooms they had, the silence was deafening especially once they saw how angry Branzy was when he noted the straps on Parrots wings making him unable to use them. They didn't have to be geniuses to understand that Branzy was livid, trapping an avians wings was the same as taking away all their freedom, something that avians were not built to stand.
After awhile Branzy managed to clean and bandage Parrots injuries and he was also able to free his wings from the straps. After some silence Branzy decided it was time to ask a question.
"Do you guys know who they were and why they were after Parrot?"
"I have no idea darling, when I went outside to check on what the noise was I didn't expect to see him collapse and invisible assassins to appear"
"I will patrol the perimeter Clown and Branzy, see if there are more of them outside. Be right back" With that said Ferre left the couple and the unconscious avian to go patrol the surroundings.
"I'm worried about him Clown, he's in such a bad condition and most of all, his wings were strapped" Branzy almost choked when he said that, his own wings fluttering unconsciously.
"Whatever it is that happen we just have to wait for him to wake up and give us some clues, but don't worry if it is your wish he can stay here for as long as needed"
"Thank you Clown, I know you guys aren't on the best of terms I appreciate it a lot"
They stood in silence for awhile, Branzy just looking over Parrots injured form, seeing the avian so defenseless like that just makes Branzy question what happened more and made him just want to keep him safe.
After sometime of sitting in silence they eventually decided to go get something to eat. When they came back they noticed that Parrot had become restless during his time unconscious.
"Seems like he will be waking up any moment now" Clown commented.
"That's earlier than expected, given the extent of his injuries i though he'd be out of it for some days atleast" Branzy says concerned.
Before Clown could reply, Parrot woke up frantically, his wings sprawled out and puffed out, his eyes checking every corner of the room looking for potential threats before settling on Clown and Branzy. And if as that weren't enough he backed up to the corner of the bed with his back against the wall, which in hindsight was not the best idea considering the injuries on his back and wings. Branzy reacted fast upon hearing the sound Parrot made when his back collided against the wall putting more strain on his injuries.
"Calm down we are not going to hurt you, Clown saw you unconscious on the front of our base so he protected you alongside Ferre from those assassins, I was the one who bandaged you up okay?" Branzy said as calming and sweetly as he could.
But before he could react, Parrot started panicking and crying.
"I-i can't stay here, h-he'll just send more after me" Parrot said in between gasps.
"Can you tell us what happened, we can help you well mainly Clown and Ferre my area of expertise lies on the medical field and everything" Branzy explained softly.
With that reassurance Parrot started telling what happened, the more he spilled the more horrified and livid Branzy became. He couldn't believe that someone who claims to love another someone would do such brutalities, if he had the chance to speak to this Wifies guy he'd give him a piece of his mind that's for sure.
"Parrot, I know you probably don't want to have to listen to this but the difference between Clown and Wifies is that I actually am loved. What Wifies feels towards you is nothing more than obsession and possessiveness" Branzy softly explained carding his fingers through Parrots hair.
"I don't know what to do anymore" Parrot said, tears running down his cheeks.
"Hey, hey, everything's going to work out trust me. If i have some say in it that Wifies guy will not ever touch you again in any type of manner, you are safe here" Brazy whispered cradling Parrot and rubbing his back gently.
"I can't, i put you in harms way once before and although that wasn't my intention it still happened. I can't risk putting you in danger again, I'm not stupid, i know if that were to happen Clown would have my head in a silver platter" Parrot said softly, but loud enough for the couple to hear.
"You underestimate me Parrot, I am more than strong and capable enough to protect both you and Branzy and it's not just me who deals with the fighting here" As Clown finished talking, Ferre entered the room.
"Oh, i see he's awake. Anyways i searched up the perimeter there's no one else out there" Ferre gave his report to Clown.
"For now.." Was said so softly that they almost didn't catch it.
"I think we can talk about everything later, now you need to rest because it's clear that you haven't done that in awhile. Give your body and mind the rest they deserve and after we will discuss everything properly and don't worry i do not intend to keep you in the dark about anything" Brazy said specifically to Parrot, helping him get under the covers.
Parrot was out the moment his head rested upon the pillow, the exhaustion finally have caught up to him. Branzy ruffled his hair before getting up making his way over to Clown.
"Let's talk about everything tomorrow morning after everyone has rested and have eaten" Branzy said looking over to Clown.
"Very well darling, Ferre if you could stand guard tonight just to be sure if something happens, I'd appreciate it" Clown replied looking over to Ferre.
"I can do that, have a nice night the both of you" Ferre said, lightly bowing his head to the couple.
After Clown and Branzy left the room, Ferre made his way to the side of the bed Parrot was sleeping on, crouching he sat on the ground next to him. Staying alert that if anything happened he could react on time.
——————————————————————————————
This was the absolute worst thing to happen to her, seriously she had gotten word that Parrot had managed to escape Wifies and find safe shelter so she was making her was to where he was. What she didn't count for was that she'd get ambushed, now with a massive gash on her stomach getting away was her only safe option, and hope that she maybe would be able to find Parrot.
Running through the forest, they chased her and wouldn't stop. It's like they were playing a game of tag, in which she was the prey and they were the predators. No matter how much of a strain running puts on her body she won't let herself become a liability by being captured, Parrot needed her to be strong and be able to find him.
Oh how tired she was, she just wanted to see Parrot, to make sure he was safe, that he was healthy and to be able to embrace him once more. With that thought in mind she dispersed the fog that was starting to clog her mind and started running with more fervor than before. If there were any gods out there that listening to her prayers please let her find help, any kind of help would suffice.
Now and then she keeps trying to run, and on the night with the setting sun she heard voices, arguing barely audible but loud enough that she could manage to make out where they were coming from. With that set in mind she started running as fast as she could in the direction of the arguing voices. Soon enough she had found them and although she wasn't exactly on good terms with most of them she still reached out.
"P-please, i need help" She barely managed to stutter before almost falling to the ground, being caught by soft hands.
"Oh my days, what happened to you" This voice was gentle but she didn't have the energy to lift her head to try and figure out who was speaking.
"A-assassins, they're after me because I'm trying to find Parrot, p-please help, im b-begging" She managed to say before her mind became unconscious.
After a moment of pondering silence, two figures looked at each other and silently agreed on something together for the first time.
"Well, let's deal with these assassins and then we can ask her what the hell is actually going on" Someone managed to say already drawing out their weapon and readying for a fight.
"Might as well do something entertaining" Another person answered. "The two of you can bandage her up right?" He questioned looking to the people that had her in their arms.
"Sure can, we will be on the cave nearby, when you guys are finished come find us" The person with her on his arms replied.
"Will do, stay safe" And with that the groups parted ways.
