What is this feeling?... (WildChip)

~ Chapter Five ~

Wildberry's POV

When I woke up it was to the smell of eggs. Huh I woke up before Holly woke me up for once. It was her first day off, and it was about 10 am... I sighed, stretching and getting on a black tank top. For fall its quiet warm still. I don't mind it honestly.

I headed down to the kitchen, hearing Holly's music going. I knock on the wall. She jolted a slight bit before turning to see me. "Hey hun!" She hummed, continuing to cook soon after greeting me.

"Hey ma. Want any help?" Despite her never needing it, feels odd if I don't ask to help. She shakes her head just telling me to go do something else while she cooks. So I headed back to my room.

My room... its pretty neat, not the largest room in the house that's a home workout room I made for myself. The walls are pretty bare, a desk in the corner, my bed with basic bedding. I have a small cat plushy Holly gave me when she first adopted me.

I held the cat plushy. Her name was Snickers. It was purple, pink ear tips, paws, and the tail tip the same color. One eye with a pink patch over it and the other having a button in its place. This plushy was dirty, a bit damaged with my decent repairs, and smelled of rain water no matter how many times it was washed.

I smiled and hugged the plush. It was tiny compared to me but it always brought me comfort. It is a sign of what was a new start for me anyways...

"Come down and eat!" Holly's voice snapped me out of my plushy hugging trance. I put down Snickers before heading to the kitchen. I see her sat down already. "Wanna do anything today hun? Or ya plannin' to hang out with the wolf boy again?" she laughs a bit.

"I'll see if he's maybe feeling i-" I started talking.
"Message him then! Considering the last time you two hung out you came back basically drained of social battery I think you two get along!"

I flushed, I mean he was pretty nice. I don't know how long I can stay around him at a time though- he's so cute. His eyes, physique, his loud personality...

Before I knew I saw Holly's fingers snapping in front of me. "Eh-" I stuttered out, seeing her smile and slight laugh come from her chest. "Oh I spaced out again didn't I-" she nodded.

"Ya did, anyways eat ya food!" she was half finished already. I nodded and quickly ate. I wouldn't mind if me and crunchy hang out again... just I don't want to ask for myself. It feels a bit selfish for me to ask.

He surely had better to do than hang out with me. I'm basically a rando. Just a guy who's good at boxing... Holly patted me on the head. "Imma go shoppin, if ya wish to come with!" Since I didn't feel much up to it, I declined.

Not long later had she set off for the store... I needed something to do. Holly had taken Seb with her so playing with him was off the table...

I decided to message crunchy, what's the worse that could happen?

[Me, 10:57: Heya, wanna hangout with me today?]

Wasn't sure if he'd even respond... more worried if he declines because I don't have anything else to do. Then he responded!

[Cute wolf moron, 11:03: Yeah, where ya thinkin?]
[Me, 11:03: Maybe my place if your comfortable with it? I got a lot of games that are multiplayer.]
[Cute wolf moron, 11:07: Yeah! Sounds fun once I get away from my sister bein grumpy. Microwaving a hot pack for her rn]
[Me, 11:08: Alright then! Im on Packerson street apartment 34]
[Cute wolf moron, 11:10: Kay, I'll be over eventually! Just give me a few minutes to find how the fuckery to get there by bus and deal with sis-]

And our message chain ended, I felt oddly happy, and stomach butterflies again. God what's with me recently?? This last week I've had such a odd variety of emotions about this guy and I've just met him!
