It was a bad day. No, not just a bad day. It was a really bad week.
That's all Wemmbu could remember. He was exhausted. So dang tired. He already felt what was coming. And he didn't like that. Not until he got back home to Egg. He had to get back to Egg.
Opening the door and putting his items down, he sat on the couch clutching his favorite blanket. Where was Egg? He wondered, but his legs felt heavy as if ten forklifts had been attached to each leg.
He laid down, draped the blanket over himself and closed his eyes. Finally, rest. But he still felt wrong. His whole body hurt. It was uncomfortable. Should he tell Egg? Should he find Egg? He bit his lip over and over while deciding.
He was so lost in thought he couldn't hear Egg call him for the first time. He was snapped back into reality by Egg's voice, louder this time.
"Yo, Wemm? Bro, I told you multiple times to not bite your lips. I can't risk you getting them hurt anymore."
Egg said, voice clear yet soft. Egg approached Wemmbu. Noticing he had eye bags and his hair was messy. Wemmbu never let his hair get messy. That meant something had drained him so badly.
"Wemmbu? You good? You're not sick, right?"
Egg asked, which Wemmbu only answered with a shake of his head. Wemmbu looked at Egg. The angel was looking at him with pity. He didn't need pity. He wasn't that pitiful, right? Right..?
His eyes burned as tears threatened to fall, wiped by the blanket. You seriously cannot be crying, Wemmbu. Get a hold of yourself! He gritted his fangs as he scolded himself in his own mind.
That's when he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. Rubbing lazy curcles, trying to calm him down. It was Egg. He was comforting the ender dragon hybrid. Wemmbu couldn't care less anymore and wrapped his arms around the pale figure. Tears leaving residue on his pale purple cheeks.
He was tired. He was overwhelmed today. And thankfully Egg was here with him. He wouldn't judge him, right? He wouldn't. Of course he won't! He's his best friend. His closest best friend. His dearest best friend. He wouldn't judge him for being vulnerable.
Egg sat on the couch. His knees hurt from crouching on the floor in front of Wemmbu. He positioned himself so Wemmbu could rest his head on his lap. Egg scratched behind Wemmbu's horns to calm himdown. It worked perfectly and flawlessly.
Wemmbu was purring by now. He was fast asleep. Egg replaced himself with a pillow temporarily to grab his sippy cup and filled it with warm tea. Everytime Egg made tea, he always remembers what Wemmbu had told him about "blue tea." Turns out Wemmbu never knew about butterfly pea tea.
Putting the lid on, he went and grabbed Wemmbu's pacifier. Specifically the purple one with gold accents and an eyeball. Symbolizing his gold jewelry and Egg, of course. He doesn't remember where Wemmbu got it, though... That doesn't matter! It makes Wemmbu comfy, so that's all that matters.
Going back to the couch, he put the cup on the coffee table and gave Wemmbu his pacifier. Egg was starting to get sleepy too. Yawning and stretching for the last time today, he closed his eyes and relaxed his body.

Wemmbu woke up not long after expecting to be alone. Instead he felt the presence of his best friend. He shuffled a bit to get more comfortable and tried to hold the sippy cup steadily. Tried to. He failed miserably as he nearly dropped the cup, causing himself to jolt and catch it out of reflex.
It stirred Egg awake. Almost immediately, Egg went and helped him. Half asleep.
"Th- Thank you, Egg.."
Wemmbu said in a higher pitch than usual. He was stuttering, unusual for Wemmbu. But Egg knew why. And he didn't point it out. This happened several times before.
"You're welcome, Wemmy. Now drink it up and go back to sleep. Do you wanna stay here or go to your room?"
Wemmbu stayed silent for a moment. Contemplating while drinking his tea. It tasted like chamomile. He likes chamomile tea.
"I wanna go to my r-room. Pwease?"
Wemmbu gave Egg the puppy eyes. It wasn't necessary, but it seems like when Wemmbu is like this, he loves doing those puppy eyes. And who was Egg to say no when he was the one to suggest it?
"Alright, you finish your tea, I'll clean the cup first and then we take you to your room. Okay?"
"Otay!"
Wemmbu said cheerfully, happy to return to his room, Egg by his side. He finished his tea and handed Egg the cup. Egg stood up and washed the sippy cup before returning to Wemmbu and helping him get up.
As the ascended the stairs, Wemmbu held onto Egg's hand tightly. He was wobbling a bit, but that's okay. A bit of support fixes it. They arrived at his door and went inside.
Wemmbu was tucked into bed comfortably. His eyes felt heavy already. As Egg was about to leave, he heard a soft voice call out.
"Egg? Egg no st-stay?"
Egg sighed. He turned around and saw Wemmbu looking at him with those puppy eyes hopefully. Egg couldn't resist, how could he? When Wemmbu was like this?
"Alright, I'll stay with you, buddy."
Egg climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around Wemmbu. They both fell asleep not long after. Well, they slept quickly because of the comforting sounds of Wemmbu's loud purring.

The next day, Egg had helped Wemmbu get ready. He made sure the dragon hybrid wore comfortable clothes that didn't restrict movement but still keeping Wemmbu's signature style.
"Where are we going, Egg?"
The curious Wemmbu asked.
"We're going somewhere fun, buddy."
Egg replied, deflecting Wemmbu's question as a way to keep their destination secret.
"Aww, why no tell? Just tell me where we going, Egg!"
Wemmbu pouted as he crossed his arms and looked away. It caused Egg to chuckle and scratch behind those violet horns.
"I told you, we're going somewhere fun. You'll love it. Now eat the breakfast I made for you while I pack our stuff. We're going somewhere quite far to play a lot for a few days."
Wait, a few days? They're going on some sort of vacation?
"We going far? Where? Where, Egg? Tell me! Tell me!"
Wemmbu insisted to know. Egg just kept telling Wemmbu to calm down and bring anything he wants to take with him. Wemmbu sprinted to his room and gathered his stuff.
Consisting of — an ender dragon plushie, some of his favorite snacks, some hair ties, a ribbon to wrap around his tail (because he might feel bonita), and of course, his beloved tiara and his necklace.
They packed those stuff into the car, and started driving. Egg is using his other senses (idk dude he's an angel i hc him that he has like 7 senses to loocate stuff and map out areas without seeing because he can't see very well— ahem) to make a vision of the road that is far more clearer rather than using his eyes.
It helps him drive really well, as he's able to spot other vehicles from far away.
And they start their happy little road trip. All because Wemmbu had an awful week, so Egg is cheering him up.
Hm, where are they going, exactly?
