Skizz couldn’t believe his eyes-
Impulse stood infront of him, but.. he was big!!
He was just a little shorter than Skizz but that was pretty normal for a lot of other humans-
Skizz was a tall guy after all-
Impulse smiled at him, waving his hand-
Skizz blinked a few times, his brain couldn’t quite think at the moment-
But he did know one thing-
His best friend was right in front of him-
So Skizz ran, it felt slow but he ran- then collided with Impulse wrapping the once borrower in a hug.
Impulse hugged back squeezing with the same force as Skizz was-
They stayed there for a while saying nothing, eventually Skizz pulled back a little ways away and cupped Impulse’s face with both of his hands-
“D-Dipple Dop? How is this possible?! I mean your- you still have your horns and and theirs your tail so- are you still a borrower or-“
Impulse smiled, then shrugged-
Choosing not to speak
Skizz then squished Impulse’s face-
“Talk to be buddy! How are you not freaking out right now!!!”
Impulse reached up, gently patting Skizz’s head reassuringly.
“Impulse! What’s going on!”
Then finally the tall borrower opened his mouth and said-
“Wake up Skizz- c’mon wake up!”
And then he was awake.
Skizz slowly blinked bleary eyes, looking around his room until they landed on the small borrower next to his head-
It was Impulse in all of his tiny glory-
He… he looked worried and—- also half asleep-
“D’ple’Dop? What… what time is it” he said with a yawn.
“Like 3 in the morning, you kept talking in your sleep“
“Oh…. Sorry homie… weird dream is all-“
“Do you need to talk about it-“
Skizz thought about it- he really did but he shook his head, instead just turning over to lay on his stomach and reaching over to drape his hand over Impulse like a blanket-
“Nah.. I’m good, just need more sleep-“
“Alright- if you say so-“
“Night Dop”
“Night Skizz-“
Eventually they both drifted back to sleep, with no residue of that strange dream
Later Skizz would wonder why his subconscious created that scene but… he also sorta knew too-
It was a deep longing to hug his friends full strength-
To live with them without needing to be secretive-
To be able to introduce him to people without worry.
But… it would take a miracle to make that happen.
