♡ Marigold Sunset ♡ (Taranza x Reader)

♡Marigold Sunrise♡

I smiled as the sky glowed with the light from the morning sun. The ground a beautiful shade of naturally dark green, with small drops of dew from a light sprinkle the night before. It was.. content. I was on a hill, in a field somewhere, where all I could see around me was nature. It was beautiful, it was all I could ever ask for, it was as if I could hear a symphony. The world around was almost frozen, like I alone, was the only person on this planet..

It was an amazing feeling.
To walk away from my boring, everyday life, and be free in this beauty. I wiped away a small tear I didn't even know fell, and laughed, making the most of this. I ran over to the edge of the hill to look down, and saw what was a field of marigolds, it had to have been covered in them. Looking down at myself for once, I noticed that I was wearing what appeared to be a flowing knee length dress, it had cute, yet short puffy sleeves. How did I get here? Where did these nice clothes come from? I don't remember putting those on, I pondered.

Then I heard something, a voice was yelling out from behind me. Guess I wasn't actually alone here after all, turning around I saw my co-worker and friend, Taranza. I was mortified, why was he here? It was one of my rare mornings off, and I had the closing shift today, how odd for him to be missing work. Though that wasn't why I was mortified, it was because I had more so a.. well.. I was infatuated with him, deeply. I have a crush on him. A big fat crush on him. I'm basically in love with him. Not like I'll ever tell him though, that's too scary, so instead I dream of what it would be like to be his, and him be mine. Like every other simp naturally would do.

He waved one of his many hands up in the air frantically, I awkwardly pointed at myself, looking around there was obviously no one else besides from us here. He yelled out again. "Good morning (Y/N)!! You look cute today, as always." He claimed, floating next to me, and gently taking my hand in one of his. Then kissing it, smiling coyly. Of course Taranza was a gentlemen, he's one of the kindest people I know, but he's never done that. My face erupted in red, I could tell my cheeks were warm. "Good morning! Taranza. Remind me.. what are we doing here again??"  Smiling nervously as I waited for my question to resonate within him. The spider simply smiled back at me. "Very cute (Y/N). You tell me what I'm doing out here with you." He looked at me expectantly, him obviously teasing. I stuttered, caught off guard. I could steer him away from making me answer, yeah, that'd probably be best right now until I remember. How dumb am I? I could only wonder.

Tapping him on the shoulder, I yelled "We're racing!" Leaving him in my dust, I ran until reaching the end of the hill, tucking and rolling all the way down. Stopping in the field of Marigolds, the little flowers tickling my skin. I laughed as he floated after me. "I win." He pouted. "Not a very fair way to start a date. I wasn't aware we were racing!" I froze, and looked at him. We're on a date? We were going out.. together? Since when? Does that mean he likes me back.. I looked at him, then looked at the sunrise, the time was odd for a date. I was dressed for one though, and he knew where to find me, even if I don't exactly know where I am. Of course, it all made sense now.. The pieces slowly put themselves together.
Taranza spoke up. "Hey, are you okay?" I nodded and stood, brushing off my dress, he watched me quietly, probably noticing the change in the atmosphere.

I gently held two of his hands and leaned in close to him, he looked back at me and smiled. "I love you, Taranza." He blinked, looking at me softly before leaning in to kiss me. I stopped him. "But you aren't real." I whispered back sadly. "Wait.. wha-" he dispersed into nothing before he could finish that sentence. Looking over to the sunrise, it still hadn't moved. I yelled. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT HUH?!?! DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY OR SOMETHING!?!?" The beautiful sun mocked me. The grass mocked me. The marigolds mocked me. It all was mocking me, showing me what I could have, if I was brave enough to actually grab that for myself. But no, I was stuck.

I was trapped by my own fears of rejection.

And then I woke up.

Hello!! My name is Waddle and I'm the author, I'm literally making this for myself so the writing is probably bad in some areas, and there will be certain words overly used like "I" because idk how to write unannoyingly, but follow me on my journey of loving a fictional spider I guess lmao
