This is a sequel, so you should probably read "The Muffiny Prince" first!
Being married is never easy, especially when you're the first gay kings to rule a kingdom. Bad and Skeppy feel like they are constantly fighting for equality. Not just for th...
The first couple weeks home were rough, but they managed. Skeppy took over the bedroom he used to share with Bad. Bad made himself comfortable in a guest room. The two kings interacted as friends, but not even best friends. Skeppy needed to be alone a lot, to cry and process his feelings. Bad didn't like leaving him alone, but knew people made him nervous. Puffy had an idea in mind.
"What if we get him a pet? Does he like animals?" Puffy asked.
Bad thought about it. "I think he used to have a dog...but I don't know, what kind of pet?"
Puffy shrugged "your the boss, it's up to you."
"I don't know... Rat hated it here so I don't think I want another dog right now. I might be okay with a cat, but I'm not sure he likes cats." Bad told her.
"Well there's always bunnies or a hamster. Surely those are comforting animals too." Puffy smiled.
"It's a good idea, but I'll have to talk to him about it. You know how hard it is to talk to him sometimes."
Puffy agreed, Skeppy was difficult to be around. "A pet might help him feel more comfortable."
"I'll look into it, thanks for the idea." Bad thanked Puffy, and then went to the library to respond to a couple letters. He had sent a detective to the butchering business in town, they hadn't found anything yet.
He received a letter from an address he didn't recognize, so he opened it pretty quickly out of curiosity.
Dear king Bad,
I hope this doesn't waste your time. I'll keep it short and sweet. I heard you're a generous king that loves helping. I love helping too. Specifically I take in animals that need homes. Recently I took in some baby ducklings from a farmer. I don't have the time to care for them, since I'm a full-time baker. If you could please take them off my hands, even to re-home them. That would be amazing.
Sincerely, Niki
Bad smiled at the letter. His life was a mess right now. He really needed to read a lighthearted letter about ducklings. Realistically he had better things to, but he wrote Niki back. Thinking it would be a quick quest. Just get the ducklings, and pass them on to another farmer. However, it wasn't that simple.
The baby ducks were retrieved from Niki, who was thrilled that the king agreed to help them. Then brought back to the castle.
Sam handed a box to Bad, letting him see the babies. They still needed to be bottle-fed until they got their new home. At least it would give Bad something to do when he was stressed.
"Oh my goodness...they are adorable! Awww, Skeppy would love these." Bad instantly thought about showing them to his lover.
