❝ GUMPHIBIAN ❞

Sunlight from the morning of an early spring day dappled against the glass that lead into a flamboyantly painted apartment building.

Gummy's jelly green butt was perched against the edge of his hot pink beanbag, interest in his eyes while keeping his gaze focused on the flat screen TV in front of him. (Y/n) watched from the jade cushioned sofa from further down the living room, almost entertained by her boyfriend's excitement.

Curiosity swam through Gummy's azure eyes as he bounced his butt against the soft seating, his head not being able to look up any further to watch the motion against the screen above.

"And that concludes today's nature programme - Frog Nation." The voice came from the TV as the screen showed a group of frogs, ribitting and leaping across lillypads balanced on the crystal clear water of the pond.

In response, Gummy's overjoyed expression became a disappointed frown. "No! Don't end!" He cried, waving his hands towards the screen, hoping it would cause the programme to continue.

"Show me more frogs! They're so cute! So green!" Gummy cried, his frown returning to a smile as he remembered the footage of the bright green croaking creatures. (Y/n) giggled as a result of his adorable behaviour, her soft voice flowing through the warm air.

Suddenly, Gummy gasped, looking down towards his chubby green body and patting his tummy in what seemed like shock.

"Just like me!" He cried, earning curiosity from his girlfriend.

"Wait, what did I just say?" Gummy asked himself aloud, fingertips against his chin and deep thought crossing his expression.

(Y/n) giggled, sliding from the sofa and slowly walking towards Gummy across the white wooden floor.

"You said that frogs are green and cute..." she started, propping herself against the side of the beanbag and leaning herself into Gummy's side.

...just like you..." She finished her sentence, blushing slightly at Gummy's adorable smile that met her (e/c) gaze.

Gummy continued his thoughts about what he'd just blurted out after being reminded. He suddenly jumped from his beanbag, causing (Y/n) the slouch into it.

He spun on his heels to face his girlfriend, pride and curiosity in his eyes. "Maybe I'm a frog! It could explain a lot!" He cried, energetically reaching out his hands and tugging (Y/n) from her slouched position and leading her into his bedroom.

Gummy bounced up and down from his wooden bedroom floor, watching himself jump in the glass reflection of his mirror. He crouched his knees, palms of his hands against the ground while pushing himself into jumps by stretching his legs.

Gummy admired himself while he leapt up and down - just like a frog - in the reflection of his propped up mirror. He smiled as he noticed (Y/n) in the glass, watching with confusion in her (e/c) eyes.

Gummy raised his body to stand up straight, examining the jelly consistency of his tummy while looking down and patting it. He smiled with excitement into the mirror, coming to the inevitable conclusion.

"Yes! I'm definitely green!" He cried, turning around to face (Y/n), who still had no idea what he was trying to do. She watched him dash towards the front door, shrugged, and followed him out.

"I'M A FROG AND PROUD OF IT!!" Gummy shouted, his voice booming through the gentle spring breeze.
