"You and the Tall Guy" ( Female Y/N x Durpleton )

Gigglecakes for breakfast

You wake up to the sound of eating and chattering near the kitchen. You push yourself up and rubbed your tired eyes. After your eyes adjusted you see the herd sitting down on the floor eating what looks to be pancakes with pink syrup. Though for some reason they weren't eating the sticky breakfast with a fork and knife.

    "Oh good morning!" Wammawink sang, "how was my little travelers sleep?" She handed you some giggle cakes on a plate.

    "Good...*yawn*...morning" you tiredly said.

    "What's wrong, baby girl?" Wammawink questioned. Did you have trouble sleeping last night. She playfully patted your head like a mother pats her child's head. You ogled at the giggle cakes she gave you. It had been a while since you had an actual meal. Before you met the herd you sometimes ate some acorns, berries, and at one point there was a time you were so desperate for food that you ate a live apple-taur but that is a story for another time.

    "I slept fine" you answered Wammawinks question, "I'm just still tired."

    "Hey guys?" Horse raised her hoof, "has anybody seen Durpleton?" Everybody shook their heads and wondered where he could be.

    "Ohh he must still be asleep in his room, after all he had a very long night last night." Wammawink patted you on the head again.

    "Maybe I can go wake him up for you guys?" You asked nervously as you took a bite of your giggle cake. The flavor had took you by surprise, it tasted like bundles of joy dancing on a rainbow sky (if that were a flavor).

    "Oh that'd be nice, Y/N." You placed the plate of giggle cakes on the sofa and got up to walk down the short hallway. You stop in front of what you can assume is Durpletons bedroom and turn the doorknob slowly to avoid disturbing his rest. The first thing you see is a dimly lit room with only the light of the window barely covered by the curtains.

    "Durpleton?" You whispered, "Wakey wakey giggle cakes and bakey".

    "Hmm?" A muffled voice comes from under the blanket. Durpleton lifts his long neck out of the bed along with his torso. He stretched and gave a very loud and exaggerated yawn. He rubs his eyes and then looks towards you.

    "Ohh wakey wakey to you, Y/N" He smiled happily.

    "You know it's 9:57 right?"

    "Is it?" He asked scratching the back of his neck, "Woopsie doodle I must've been really tired." Durpleton gave a giggle.

    "Do you mind giving me a little hand?" Durpleton reached his tiny hand to you. You blush slightly.

    "Er- sure no problem" you laughed nervously. You grab Durpletons tiny hand and help pull him out of bed. He was pretty heavy to be honest, not to mention that a giraffe can weigh up to 4000 pounds. That combined with the weight of a muscular man.

    "Did you have good dreams?" Durpleton asked as he embraced you in a warm hug. You smiled warmly and hugged back.

    "Yes I did, did you?" When you asked that question Durpletons energy changed for a moment. It felt like he was nervous or scared. Durpleton stopped hugging you and put his hand on your shoulder.

    "Yup, I sure did". Durpleton walks out of the hallway and to his herd in the kitchen. Something didn't feel right to you. Did Durpleton have a nightmare? And if he did what kind of nightmare was it? However, you just shrugged it off and sat down with the herd eating their giggle cakes. After you were all done enjoy your devious giggle cakes Horse spoke.

    "So guys since we had just gotten over that crazy rainstorm last night how about we go do something fun together to make up for the boredom we faced last night?"

    "But what would we do exactly? Did you forget that there was a freak storm last night?." Said Zulius

    "Hmm yeah there are friggin tree-taur branches and leaf-taurs all over the place." Glendale said with her mouth full of the giggle cake.

    "Well the Cat-taur market is still open" said Waterbaby, "Maybe we can all go shopping for-I don't know souvenirs?"

    "Well I think that seems like a fun idea!" Wammawink smiles, "Maybe while we are there we can get Y/N a little something." You raise your head the second Wammawink suggested that.

    "Oh-you guys don't have to do that-"

    "Don't worry, Y/N" said Durpleton putting his hand on your shoulder again, "You deserve something for all of that traveling you did."

    "Durpletons right" Said Horse. You didn't want to feel like you were taking advantage of the herds generosity. But you really needed some things the next time you set off.

    "Before we go I knitted a little something for you, Y/N" Wammawink said excitedly.

    You raised an eyebrow, "What is it?". From behind Wammawink pulls out an outfit knitted with her own wool. It was a pink sleeveless dress with a short skirt and a little hoodie with googily eyes on it. The feeling of pure utter embarrassment struck you. You weren't sure about wearing that dress in public.

    "Oh come on, Y/N" said Zulius. No offense but you really need a new change of clothes. You look down at your long white Tee-shirt and dirty brown ruana. Zulius was right, the clothes looked like you rolled around in a pigs sty all day. So you either had to wear the dirty clothing you were wearing now and the cleaner, cuter, and pinker dress Wammawink spent nearly hours working on.

    "Y/N you won't know if you don't like it unless you try it." Durpleton said while looking at you, besides I think it looks cute. Your face flushed shades of red and pink and you let out a sigh. Minutes later you the herd traveled to the market.
