Caught in your net (Snufkin x fem! reader)

Tired

When Moominmamma and Moominpappa greeted them back, something was completely wrong. Everyone were unusually silent unlike this morning. No wonder Moominmamma had been feeling uneasy earlier. That's when her motherly instincts immediately switched on.

Since it was already late, Sniff had to excused himself and Moomin went out to send Snorkmaiden back home. Snufkin and My decided to stay a little bit more at Moominhouse.

(Y/n) looked like a whole mess on the coach. This whole time, she was looking down, purposely avoiding to see the Moomins in the eye. Her makeup was all smudged up, her eyes were puffed, her face was blotchy. The gifts were left unattended at Snufkin's car, abandoned like trash.

Moominmamma was cleaning her face at this point since she felt bad for her. She was not sure what happened and (Y/n) had been silent the whole time. She took the cue that it was definitely not a good time to talk about it since both My and Snufkin were silent too.

My kept yawning at this point. Snufkin looked at his phone. It was late. He had to send her back soon, their sister Mymble was looking for her.

''Let's get you home, My.''

My groaned. Snufkin knew she was also worried for (Y/n), but she also had to take care of herself. They both have work the next day too.

''(Y/n) won't be able to rest if you kept staying here.''

My sighed and stood up. She gave (Y/n) a small goodbye and picked her bag.

That seemed to work, he thought.

''Now, you two be careful on your way home.''

''We will, Moominpappa. Thank you.''

Before leaving, Snufkin took a good look at (Y/n).

''.. (Y/n), good night. Have a good rest.''

He waited, hoping for just a little bit of response from her.

There's none.

Turning around with a heavy heart, Snufkin left Moominhouse with his sister.

Moominmamma had wanted to accompany (Y/n) to bed but it seemed like she was fine doing on her own. She hasn't spoke anything but her body language clearly explained it well. She gave her a soft pat on her head before (Y/n) gave a nod and closed her door.

''How was (Y/n), mum?''

She turned around to see Moomin who just arrived home and went up the stairs.

''She didn't look fine..'' she paused then continued, '' but we'll deal with it tomorrow. You should have a rest now, Moomin.''

He nodded.

''Good night then.''

''Good night, Moomin.''

Snufkin had a hard time sleeping that night.

The images of (Y/n) horrified face still lingered in his mind.

The bruises on his knuckles still ached from the pain.

He mentally cursed.

It was the next morning when My came early to Moominhouse as usual. She looked tired as fuck but she still had to come to work. She then noticed Moominmamma at the kitchen. Moominpappa was nowhere to be seen. Moomin was probably still sleeping.
