A Gift To You

Antonio's,reluctant,babysitting services

He really shouldn't have been surprised when he woke up to an empty living room. Sitting in the sunshine after drinking for hours made him sleepy,well if a corpse could sleep. So when he woke up and felt something sticky attached to his forhead he assumed that he'd wasted something on his face again. He was surpised to see that a sticky note had been slapped across his forhead.

"Eaugh?" He grunted,squinting his empty eye sockets at what the letter said.

'You were supposed to be on Moonlight for Duos,I had to take your spot cause you wouldn't wake up,lazy bones. Anyways you can thank me by watching over the little ones! And there'd better not be a hair out of place when I get back!
With love- Galatea♡'

"The little wha?" He yawned confused as to what she ment by that. That's when he felt a tug on the end of his pants leg and looked down.

Mini Mary held her small paws up to him,making the tiniest of meeps as she did.

"Oh," looking around he could see the pets toddling about, playing with toys and over all causing chaos,"oh no" another tug on his shoes and mini Mary meeped impatiently. He let his hair pick her by the waist as he glared at mini robbie bonking yima over the head.

"Robbie,stopping hitting yima....wait weres yidhra?" He looked around for the mini serpent but couldn't find her. Mini Mary shimmed her way over onto his shoulder and held on,"Carful now" he didn't want her  falling off while he was looking for Yidhra.

Mini luchino was jumping up as high as he could to swing on his hair while mini Violetta clawed up his leg.

"Vio,you'll get webs in my hair and luchi!" The tiny lizard had accidentally cut some of his hair off. Snatching the lizard up with his hair he held out his palm,"Give it"

The pet held onto his blade,crocodile tears pooling in his eyes.

"Dont give me those fake tears" he was not amused.

The pet dropped the act once he realized it wouldn't work but still held onto the weapon.

"Very well," he narrowed his eye sockets,"Hard way it is" tightening his hairs grip on it,mini luchino meeped in alarm as Antonio pulled the handle out of his hand with his long nails

The lizard was not happy and stuck his forked tongue out at him.

"Throw a fit all you want,you won't get this back till later" he put it in his coat pocket and slouched back into his chair. Antonio long body slid until half his torse was on the seat. Both mini Mary and vio sat on his chest,watching the hunter slowly slide off the chair and onto the floor,"Lovely"

Whelp he wasn't getting back up,besides! The floor could be surprisingly comfortable once you get use to it.

Closing his eye sockets Antonio started nod off again. Duos usually lasted a good 10 minutes,he could get another power nap right? Everything was fine so far,after all how much trouble could a couple of pets be?

He was wrong.

He was so,so very wrong.

Antonio woke up to the smell of something burning,like when Mary tried to to flat iron her hair once.

Waking up with a yawn Antonio realized that it was his hair that was on fire!

"The hell?!" Sturggling to put it put he realized he couldn't move his body either! Looking down he made a face. Mini Violetta had wrapped him up all snug and was currently making a pillow on his chest,"Violetta! Untie my this instant!"

She seemed sad that all her hard work would be going to waste.

"Yss yes I'll let you cocoon me later just get me out!"

She held her cheeks and got to work unraveling her webs and the man booked it to the nearest sink. His hair seemed to sigh in relief as the water put it out.

"Now which on of you little angels did this to me? Don't be shy! I promise I'll only rip one paw off!" He hissed,eyeing the pets now running around in fear,"luchino! Where the hell are you!" He stepped over blocks toys, baby dolls and a bunch of other random toys scattered about,"I know you did it!"

Mini luchino laughed at the hunter and ducked his hand.

"Why you little shit!" His hair snatched the lizard up and he  brought the pet up to eye level,"Not so smug now are we?" He started painfully pinching and poking the pet,he moved to sit back down then jumped back up once he felt something on his tail coat.

One of mini banes traps.

"Bane! Get your traps!"

The deerheaded pet stopped playing with the blocks with mini jospeh and started to collect his traps

He sat in his chair and tried to ignore the dead stares Mini luchino was giving him.

"If I let you go will you please stop trying to set the manor on fire," with a nod,that Antonio didn't belive for half a second,mini luchino jumped from his arms to play with mini wu chang. Said pet was current getting its hair brushed by mini michiko who tugged on his finger.

"Yes?"

She waved a comb around

"You want to comb my hair? Pf,good luck" He watched as mini vio started making another Pillow for him,"is that for me Vio?"

She nodded.

"You're so sweet,thank you....oh hello Mary, found Yidhra have you?" They were holding paws and treating Yima as their little baby. The two sat on Antonio's head.

He was tempted to go back to sleep but the reclining chair was so far....

He sighed and watch mini jack place several flowers on top of Violettas head. She offered him her web made pillows and he took it. Feeling the other two pets climbing off his head to go harassed mini jack and bane.

Now relaxed he nodded off once more.

"Tony,hey! Wake up!" A finger poked hid cheek.

"Please don't tell me he set the room on fire?" He groaned.

"What? No, I can't believe you managed to get them all to sleep!"

"Sleep?" In his lap,all the pets had curled up in his lap and fallen asleep,"aw" they were rather cute.

"They're so cute,don't you just wanna take them all home?" She kissed mini bane on the head as Antonio practically dumped them all into her lap.

"Absolutely not,get these little shits away from me" and he left as quick as he could.

He wouldn't skip another duos match again.
