Tom Nookie

Flu Shots (Short chap.)

You lay in your bed, your hair messy and undone. As you open your eyes you notice the nooklings standing right on top of you on your bed. You scream, "AAAAGH WHAT THE-" 

Tommy covers your mouth, "Shhh! He might hear you!" 

You remove his paw from your mouth and raise your eyebrow. "What are you boys doing here? Shouldn't you be at-" 

"Yeah, work! But Mr. Nook said he was taking us to buy toys!" Timmy worries. 

you scratch your head, "Oh- then why are you hiding?" 

"Because it's obviously not true!" Tommy exclaims. 

"He says that every year! And every year he tricks us into getting our flu shots!" Timmy shakes you. 

Footsteps are then heard on the stairs. You hear a knock on the door. "Come in?" you respond. 

Nook walks in looking drowsy. He was in his pajamas and looked like he still hadn't fully woken up. You sit up in your bed, "Mr. Nook?"

He looks at you and then quickly fixes posture, "Ms. Y/n! I came to check if the nooklings were here I- *yawn* I saw them run up here somewhere..." 

"Yeah, they are right here-... What in the world? They were just here a second ago!" You slap your hand on your head realizing they are gone. 

"Dear me, they do this every year... " he facepalms. 

"Look, there they are!" You signal behind him. The nooklings shot down the stairs and ran outside. Nook chases after them as you follow behind him. 

The villagers stare at you both while you and Nook catch up to the nooklings. You had almost forgotten you were still in your sleepwear... You tried to smile at the townspeople as you ran past them but it only made it more awkward. 

"This is going to ruin my reputation as mayor..." you mutter to yourself and keep on jogging. 

After a while, you and Nook lose sight of them. "Where could those two boys be..." he taps his foot. 

You stare at Nook for a while and giggle a little, he turns to you confused. "Nice PJs..." you smirk. He chuckles then examines you a bit, "I have never seen your hair so untamed before!" he laughs. 

"I know I look awful!" You snicker. He then stops laughing, "No, no. That is not at all what I meant! You look fierce! It seems you look beautiful in everything..." he smiles with sparkling eyes. You feel yourself blush a little, "You say the cutest things, Tom..." 

He rubs his arm shyly before noticing a small tail behind a tree. Nook subtly approaches the tree and immediately pulls Timmy and Tommy from behind it. They giggle nervously. Nook frowns, "You two are coming with me!" 

"Nooo!" they struggle to resist. 

You all board the train to the clinic. The nooklings cried the whole trip there. Soon you were entering the doctor's office. "I don't want to get my shot, I don't want to!!!" Tommy squirms. 

"Behave now!" Nook scolds them as they enter the room. 

You sit in a chair feeling bad for the two boys. "Hey, it's ok. It won't hurt too much, you'll just feel a little pinch that's all," you say to the nooklings, trying to get them to calm down. 

They look at you with teary eyes, "You are lying!" 

"I'm not! Look, how about I get one too? I'll prove to you both that it's not as bad as it seems!" you nod. They look at each other and hesitantly agree. Nook smiles at you, "You don't have to do this Ms. Y/n." 

"Nonsense! Also, it's been a while I haven't gotten one," you say and lift your sleeve up. 

The doctor enters the room. Your stomach turns a little, you couldn't deny it made you feel nervous as well... 

The doctor disinfects your shoulder a little and then swiftly injects the needle into your arm. The nooklings look terrified as the doctor then puts a bandage on you. You grin at Timmy and Tommy and lift your thumbs up. Tommy gulps shakingly and sits on the chair next. He closes his eyes tightly and braces for the worst, but to his surprise, it didn't hurt as much as he remembered. Likewise with Timmy. 

You all happily exit the clinic, "You see it was easy!" 

"You were right Ms. Y/n it was easy!" Tommy holds up an orange lollipop. Nook chuckles, "I'm surprised you both didn't throw a tantrum in front of the doctor like every year!" 

Timmy scratches his head sheepishly, "Well, at least they gave us candy this time!" 

You chew on your gum, "Darn right they did!" 

You all catch the train back home. Finally, in T/n again, you begin to collect fruits. That's when a villager of yours walked up to you, it was brocollo. 

"Oh hey, little buddy, what's up?" you say and pick up a basket of pairs. 

"Everyone is talking about how you and Mr. Nook are sleeping together, is that true?" Broccolo taps his fingers together. 

You stare at him blankly, "What- No! Well-... Not exactly... Why do you ask!?... What gave you all that idea!" 

"A few others told me about how they saw you run out of the house in the morning with Mr. Nook. We were just wondering-..." Broccolo explains. 

"No! Tell them that we are not." You rub your forehead stressfully. 

"Oh ok..." he nods and then comes back. "One more question... Is it true that you wear DOOM ETERNAL pajamas because everyone says they saw you-" 

Your eyes widen, "WHAT!?"
