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

Pond of Memory

Cat-taur valley had almost everything except a swimming pool. Take a guess why. But luckily the herd discovered a large pond not too far away, so they all decided to have a "Pond Day". You were riding on Durpletons back like you did when you first met, and it became a normal thing for the two of you even if it was only a night ago. Wammawink who was leading the group had a large picnic basket full of treats and giggle cakes.

Rider was riding on Horse's back. Rider had even put on a blue tank top and swim shorts for the occasion even though she didn't plan on swimming. Glendale held the umbrellas, towels, and floats in her portal tummy. Stabbleton was even wearing duck floaties on both of his arms. Not that he didn't know how to swim, it was just harder for him because his arms and legs are shorter than they were before. Before Centaurworld he could swim at very fast speeds with his long legs or run on water like a Jesus Christ Lizard.

After 20 minutes they made it to the glistening pond. It was probably the most beautiful pond you've ever seen. The waters were clear but had a tint of bluish-green. You could even see the bottom of the pond and it was a good thing for you since you despised murky water. You had flashbacks to when you first became homeless during the war you had to drink and bathe in disgusting bodies of water while also keeping an eye out for Minotaurs. But that was behind you now and right in front of you was exactly what you needed.

"Alright let's go!" Ched shouted. But before he could dive into the water like an aqua man Wammawink grabbed him by his leg like how you would hold a chicken wing.

"Slow down, Ched," said Wammawink still holding on to him, "We still need to apply sunblock." Almost everybody groaned in disappointment even Waterbaby, Wammawink's old teacher. Waterbaby didn't feel a need for sunblock since she was a hippo. whenever she wanted to tan she rolled in the mud as an actual hippo would. Glendale grabbed the sunscreen from her portal tummy so everybody could have turns applying it. You squirted just the right amount of the yellow substance in your hand and rubbed your hands together.

You rubbed it on your face, neck, arms, legs, stomach, and feet but struggled to reach your back. You watched as the others were applying the sunscreen. Zulius who had asked Ched to get his back was sort of amusing because of the face Ched was making the entire time. It was like this was the greatest moment of his dang life but also the scariest. You look behind you and watched Durpleton put a little dollop of sunscreen onto Stabbys nose, giggling.

You smiled. Durpleton and Stabby were an adorable father-son duo and you couldn't help but fall deeper and deeper in lo-LIKE with Durpleton. You try to reach your back by yourself but you could only get your lower back and not the upper. It was as challenging as trying to lick your own elbow.

"Looks like you're having trouble there, Y/N." Zulius remarked as he walked up to you and flipped his wicked sunglasses upwards, "you need help?".

"Uh sure, go ahead." You said.

Zulius nodded his head and turned to Durpleton. "Hey, Durpleton! Y/N needs help getting her back."

"Wait what!?" You yelled internally. Zulius winked at you and trotted off to set up his tent. Your face turned bright red as Durpleton walked up to you. You smiled awkwardly not wanting to seem like you didn't appreciate the help.

"Your back right?" Durpleton asked happily. Your eyes widen as you try to relax. You gave a slight nod and turned around. He proceeded to squirt some sunblock onto your back, quite a lot actually, and gently rubbed. For some reason, you became less tense and calmer. He was being so very gentle with his tiny baby hands gliding on your back like a snowboarder. It was like he was trying to be careful since he was so large compared you to.

"You okay? You look sleepy" Durpleton asked innocently as he stretched his neck forward and looped around to look at your eye to eye.

"uh yeah, thanks". You chuckled awkwardly.
