Mighty's Book of Oneshots 4

Snoogl

Author's Note: *does a little dance* 

Call it a sequel to 'Z.I.T?'.... That's basically what it is but there's a bit of a skip in the timeline. I think I've got possibly one more for this little line of stories.... and it involves stumpt perhaps....

 Anyways,

Enjoy.

Beef's POV:

 My tail twitched as I walked into Bdubs's house, " So, Bdubs, how's Doc doing?" I questioned as I spotted Bdubs in the kitchen of his house. The hermit sighed and turned against me, " Eeeghghgh....." he groaned, " Don't even get me started on what that tiny creeper did."

Bdubs leaned against the counter, " Look, I know that I've raised a kid, but I am not trained to deal with a feral toddler that can bite like a snapping turtle." he snorted as his vines wriggled. I tilted my head and looked at Bdubs's bandaged arm. 

 " Yeesh.... Do you need me to see the little guy?" I questioned as Bdubs nodded, " Yeah... Yeah, he's upstairs..." he sighed as he went back to preparing something. I nodded my head and started to climb the stairs.

 Before I was fully up the stairs, I could hear Bdubs grumbling to himself, " Why couldn't I be stuck with Renpup or Little Z.I.T? At least they're still mammals and don't need constant warmth. Plus, they're all old enough to remember people for the most part...." 

 My tail twitched again as I continued to climb the stairs. I looked at the doors and noticed the wooden sign at the top of the furthest one, " Doc." I read as my tail twitched.

 At least Bdubs thought about this..

 The room was mostly dark except for a pair of red, glowing heaters over a crib. I slowly walked over to the crib and looked down at the small, naked creeper. The little guy's tail was thumping against the bed as his fuzzy, little leg kicked.

 " Aww..." I mumbled causing one of the creeper's big ears to perk up. I froze slightly as a single white eye stared up at me. 

 Probably shouldn't have done that. Bdubs is probably going to kill me when he gets up here.

 The baby pushed himself up and stuck his long, forked tongue out at me. I gave the little guy a small wave causing him to wiggle over to me and put his muzzle against the back of my hand. The creeper's tongue licked against my arm.

 I gently took a blanket out of the warm pile and scooped the baby up in the blanket. The little guy stared at me with his single eye then yawned showing his tiny teeth. A small smile crept onto my face as I shuffled the little guy around in my arms until he was close to my chest.

 The creeper's tiny claw touched against my chest as he moved even closer to me. I smiled as the tiny Doc continued to snuggle close to me as his little ears twitched, " Rrrrrr~" he purred softly as I scratched the underneath as his chin. 

 I let out a quiet sigh.

 How much do you remember, Doc? Do you know who I am, or am I just a warm body for you to snuggle close to this Winter? 

 My tail twitched as a soft 'ahem' came from behind me. I slowly turned around and looked at Bdubs as he stood awkwardly in the doorway with a bottle of milk in his hand. 

 I tilted my head, " Why the milk?" I questioned as Bdubs slowly flicked on the lights as I shielded little Doc's eye from the sudden light. Bdubs yawned, " Well, Doc is still human in there, and I think that he's part pig cause of his legs."

 " You think?" I raised an eyebrow, " I don't know man... I never asked how his biology works within this world...." he shrugged his shoulders as his vines wriggled once more. The hermit walked over to me and gently rubbed the tip of the bottle against little Doc's snout causing the hybrid to turn towards it and bite at it.

 " Awww....." We both smirked as the hybrid's ears lowered.

 My tail twitched as I frowned, " How did this happen?" I questioned in a low voice as Bdubs frowned, " Well, X sent out a warning about a rogue potion owner that's been hitting people with splash potions of aging." he began as he closed the door in order to lean on it. 

 " At first I didn't believe it, I mean, I thought that it was just X trying to pull some elaborate prank on me." Bdubs put his hand to his chest, " People do like to prank you Dubs." I concurred with a small nod. 

 Bdubs sighed, " That's why I didn't want to believe X when he said to look out for a 'rogue potioner' even the title was dumb." he looked down at Doc, " Then Doc appeared here at my base with someone chasing him." 

 " I tried to get to him, believe me I tried, but that person was way too fast for either of us." Bdubs shuddered slightly, " They smashed the bottle over Doc's head. I managed to catch him before he collapsed to the ground from the shock, but that gave the stranger an ample amount of time to escape." 

 I frowned and shifted the little Doc in my arms causing the creeper to wiggle further against me with the bottle still in his mouth. 

 My ears lowered, " Who has this stranger gotten with this potion?" I questioned further as Bdubs looked at me, " Uh, Zedaph, Impulse, Tango, Ren, and now Doc." he answered with a nod. I looked down at Doc and gently put him back into the crib after he finished off the bottle. 

 The creeper let out a small cry as he tried to sit up. I looked towards the little guy and slowly put my hand into the crib causing the hybrid to rub against me and flop against my hand.

 " Guess you're stuck with Doc now." Bdubs grinned as he took the emptied bottle. I tried to reach out to Bdubs and grab the collar of his shirt, but he quickly ducked under my swinging arm, " I'mma go and work on my land some. Call me if you need me!" he grinned in pure excitement as he fled from the scene.

 I let out a sigh as I looked back down at the nuzzling creeper that had wriggled out of his blanket in order to grip against me with all three of his limbs. 

 My tail curled around my leg. 

 Who's going to be hit next?
