Little boy

A couple of weeks later I and my dad decided to go out to our old house to visit I was excited to see my pets. It's been a couple of weeks since Clay had stayed over we mainly baked cookies and I read to him I had this odd feeling in my stomach but I get through it not wanting to be sick if I was making him forget about all of his troubles it wasn't a feeling of sick tho I don't know how to describe it but it was fascinating really

"Kora are you finished packing" my dad yelled from downstairs "ya just about" I yelled back "we're leaving in thirty minutes" he spoke as I zipped my back and walked downstairs wearing a pair of black pants and a white shirt with my pink hair tied in a bun

I quickly grabbed my mask and put it on and we walked outside to where our horses were and put on their saddles and hopped on and started riding in the direction of our old house

A couple of hours later we stopped in a village where there were rows and rows of vendors selling things looking like a big trading place in the middle of the two big empires that were merely independent of both of the monstrosities

Most of the vendors sold sweets and baked goods while others sold freshly hunted fish or meat and the rest of them sold clothing or other necessities that one needs

We stopped and picked up food and a new winter coat or two of course they coasted more because we were no mortal or at least fully mortal which was complete bull shit if I did say so myself

As we were heading out I noticed a little box behind one of the buildings down an ally way it seemed odd because well it wasn't a sealed box the top bit was open and it was moving around quite a bit and well my curiosity caught the best of me and I hopped off my horse and tied it to a tree and slowly walked up to the box taking off my mask before I could get any closer

But as I got closer the box seemed to grow louder

Little squeals

Little cry's

And when I got up to the lid I looked in and saw

A little boy

His excited teal eyes looked up at me and I felt my heart warm he couldn't have been too much younger than tommy maybe a year or two his brown curly hair was messy along with his green shirt and blue Jean overalls and in the messy hair little goat horns poked through

This little boy looked so cold and alone but he was smiling at me giggling even it warmed my heart I looked around the box and found a little note attached to the side and opened it to find writing

To who Evers reading this

I have failed my job as my little boys care taker I hope you can take better care of him than I can if he ever asks just claim him as your own. I have fell down a deep hole of sadness and alcoholism. please take care of him

P.s. his name Is Toby call him Tubbo and he's turns three on December 23d

I looked back the the little boy with sad eyes knowing that this person he would call his parent abandoned him in the cold i felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see my dad and handed him the letter and he sighed

"We can't leave him like this all alone dad he's cold and non of the villagers will take him he's not mortal" I looked at him with pleading eyes "it would be wrong to just leave him out here" he gave in and I picked the little boy up from the box and held him and we walked back to were our horses were and I wrapped my old winter coat around him and gave him some of my bread "we will go to the old house still I still have some of your old clothes from when you were that age and we can get to know him more before we go back to the chaotic town" he stated and I nodded and looked back down at Toby who was happily eating his bread while me and my dad stated packing our stuff up

We soon after got back on the horses I had Toby in front of me leaning on my chest for warmth as the air grew colder and colder I looked down for the first time in a bit and saw the brunettes eyes shut and the little tint of pink on his cheeks and I quickly pulled up his hood and held him closer to me

Soon the sky grew darker and the snow slowly started to fall snd I saw our old house in the distance looking the same I saw all of the animals and the nice villager tending to them and as we got closer my dad put Carl in the pen as I slowly put my backpack on and got down still holding Toby in my arms and I carried him in the house were the cold was the most unbearable I laid Toby on the couch and lit the fire place and lit the candles and oil lamps that surrounded the living room

My dad came in and lit everything else up and started making a late dinner for the three of us and soon me and my dad ate as Toby was still past out but now the winter coat was off and he was wrapped in soft blankets

After we finished eating I took Toby into my room and laid him in my bed I thought it might be nice if he slept in the same bed with me just in case he woke up in the middle of the night I would be able to sense him

And I went to bed

A lot can happen in a day

I have a new baby brother

Hello humans of the interwebs I'm just on a writing streak and I though you know kora seems a little lonely and decided tubbo perfect fit. In this story he will be younger than tommy but I don't think it will matter. Anyway eat food drink water keep looking swagy and I'll see you soon loves
