A Novel's Beast World

41. Whoopee Cushion

Second update for today, May 5th.  This chapter has not been checked by my proofreader.  I have heavily edited it, but I am sure something has been missed here or there.  Hopefully nothing too drastic.   Enjoy.

We got back without trouble. A certain hawk duo, may or may not have been flying around. I wasn't going to think deeply about it. My plate is full of tiger man right now. I thought home equalled freedom, but Shuu didn't let me down. Alright. I put up with this pretty well I think. I didn't even complain the whole way back.

"Okay Shuu. We are home now. Please let me down." Shuu obeyed and I gave him the pet he leaned in for without thinking about it. Habits are scary.

Winston watched with intense focus. Okay man. You are making me really self-conscious here. Nobody spoke. Damn. Guess that means I'm up.

"So... I never asked for your opinion. Do you want to be apart of our family?" Gag. why did that sound so weird and cringey? Look, even Winston is lost. Come back from space tiger man.

"Of course. If you want me here, I have no right to refuse." Bzzt. Wrong answer.

"Hold up. It's not about rights. If you don't want to be here or have a wom-female you're pursuing, then I won't interfere." I know he doesn't, but it's better to be polite right? I'm like, putting in effort and shit. He shook his head. "How about this? You stay around for awhile and we get to know each other. If you want to stay, then stay. If you don't then you go." Awesome. I sounded reasonable and not like a bitch. I think.

"No. You have accepted me and I want to be here. I won't trouble you." My good intentions were shot down. Hey, I was thinking hard for you.

"Winston, umm. I want you to be comfortable okay?" Again, he looks shook. Stop making speech so hard for me man. Forget it. We need to move on. "This is Harvey and Shuu. I hope we can all get along." I really did.

Introductions went alright afterwards. Harvey talked to Winston for some time. Shuu stayed glued to my side. It wasn't comfortable at all. I like space, but I let it go. Shuu needs to feel better too. I can handle it for a bit. I'm a bad bitch after all.

We didn't have to cook because of the bonfire thing tonight. I awkwardly tried to interact with tiger man and introduced Winston to the birds, which was harder than I thought. Shuu was pretty much in hover mode. I got real irritated and finally couldn't take it.

"Shuu. I'm not going to trip on air and die if you are more than a few steps away from me." Finally he backed off, but looked sad. Damn it. Why is he making me feel like the bad guy? Jerk.

Once he gave me space, I ran away and tested out the new toilet. It was revolutionary. Why didn't I think of this earlier!? It's so simple too. It was portable and light enough for me to carry to whatever spot. I need to use these brain cells more, poor fuckers are gonna die at this rate.

Shuu worked on the small drums while I showed Winston the big one. I beat it and his tail and ears stood up at the sound. Pfft. I managed to not laugh for real. How's he going to react to the candy?

"That is an interesting sound." Did they not have drums here? Guess not.

"Shuu's making smaller ones for me to play with."

"You like them?" Why do I feel like this is a trap. If I say yes, will I wake up to a yard full of them? Winston seems like the overachieving type.
