Stay With Me // [Red Guy x Reader]

(Side note: will be using the fan-made names for this, so these names haven't been proven to be cannon yet)

    How long has it been? Minutes, hours, days? Y/N couldn't tell how long they walked due to the outside never changing, it seemed like it was all the same. Something that caught their attention was how more trees started appearing as they continued until it lead to an area that seemed more clustered, noises that sounded like faint talking echoed back to Y/N, giving them hope as they began to rush over to the area but tried to stay cautious as they didn't know if it would be safe to just jump out and beg for help.
    They sneaked towards a bush and peeked over the top of it to see who or what was there, only to be left in shock when they realized it was the 3 characters they'd seen earlier that lead them here, yet they didn't look like they did on the TV, but still had their looks from before. Y/N decided to slowly appear after recognizing the three and approached them nervously, still being cautious about if these people are safe or not, but they didn't seem to be a threat. After all, they were sitting quietly on a picnic blanket with some snacks laid out.
    When you felt was safe to try and ask them for help, you paused as your focus landed on the yellow puppet's amazement over a butterfly that fluttered around the air. It landed on his hand and he giggled, watching it spread its wings out before flying off and spinning around in the air once more before being smacked harshly out of the air by a green hand that belonged to the duck, leaving the butterfly suffering on the ground.
    "Pesky bee." The duck growled, placing his hand back down on his lap. Tears filled the eyes of the yellow puppet as he whimpered and ran away from the group. Y/N felt bad and decided to follow after him, trying not to be spotted by the two others, but didn't realize that someone noticed their figure dash away through a gap between two trees.

    Y/N was a bit astonished by the speed of the small puppet, but managed to catch up to him and noticed that he was already up a tree and sobbing. They frowned as they approached the tree, looking up at the puppet and deciding to speak up.
    "Why are you crying?" Y/N asked, they already knew the answer but decided to ask anyways.
    "My...my new friend died," he sobbed, hugging the tree as he stared down at Y/N. The puppet's voice was different from the duck, it was a bit deep like an adult's voice, and was a bit slurred. Y/N couldn't tell if the slurred speech was from his crying or how he normally talked.
    "Do you want to talk about it.?" There was a pause from the yellow puppet as he sniffled before he slid down the tree and approached Y/N, his fingers intertwined together when he looked up towards the other.
    "Who are you.?"
    "I'm Y/N. Who are you?" There was a pause from the yellow puppet before he spoke.
    "You can call me Doi."
    "It's nice to meet you, Doi." Y/N held their hand out towards the puppet with a soft smile, he took their hand and smiled back. "It's nice to meet you too, Y/N."
    They shook hands for a few seconds before Y/N took their hand away to gently wipe the tears away from the puppet's face, making him feel a bit better and seeming to already forget about the butterfly. But as Y/N looked at the boy, they realized he seemed more humanoid and less like a puppet...but his skin did feel like a soft material.

    "Do you want to meet my friends?" He happily asked, Y/N knew this would give them a chance to get help to bring them back home, so they nodded.
    Doi yelled out 'yay' before taking Y/N's hand and rushing away, Y/N almost tripped over their feet but tried to follow the pace of the small boy and back to the picnic to the others. When getting closer to the two others, the duck seemed to be made out of feathers like an actual duck, but the red one still seemed like himself but the fabric hugged his body to show off curves that Y/N never noticed before, causing them to stare at the red one a bit longer than they should have just because they were too focused on focusing the proportions of each curve...Y/N realized it felt and sounded weird so they immediately stopped and looked away, blushing a bit in embarrassment.
    "Oh, hey, welcome back," The red one would say with a monotone voice, different from the other two. "Who's that?"
    "This is my new friend!" Doi would say, glancing up at Y/N and then back at the two. "Y/N, these are my other friends, Robin and Harry."
    "Hello, it's nice to meet you two." Y/N would say, the two others saying 'hello' back, their different pitches blending almost.
    "Is it okay if Y/N came home with us?" Doi asked the others, surprising Y/N with the sudden jump ahead but thought that if they bonded a bit then they could help Y/N get back home.
    "Well, that depends on what they think." Harry, the red mop-looking guy said, glancing over at Y/N, to which they responded with; "Oh, I don't mind."
    "Then that settles it." Robin, the green duck finished, leading to another 'yay' from yellow. "We should head back now, it's starting to get late outside."
    That statement made Y/N confused as the outside seemed as bright as ever, it was still the same from when they got inside this world and started walking around in the beginning. Yet, as soon as the two others stood up and Y/N blinked, they were somehow already inside what seemed like a kitchen with the others around a table in the middle of the room.
    It was pretty room-ish, with blue walls, shelves, a television, countertops, and cabinets... mostly any basic kitchen furniture that's necessary like a fridge.  Y/N noticed that on the TV played some claymation show of a man and his dog, but they didn't catch the name of the show. On the shelves, there were a few pictures of the trio and books, including some small random decor around other places. Something that stuck out to Y/N the most was the calendar, the date stating it was 'June 20', although back at home it was already December. It didn't stick with Y/N too badly since it would probably be something that was like that in another cartoon world.
    The three others had their focus directed on the TV, so they decided to join in and watch till it ended to ask the question.

    In the episode, they were outside in the heat. The man wouldn't give the dog any water although he had enough and it was supposedly blazing hot outside, which Y/N found kind of irritating. Thankfully it was only a show and not actually...hopefully. Quickly after 2 minutes or so, the show ended and Y/N decide to ask as everyone turned back to each other, starting by clearing their throat.
    "Okay, so...I wanted to ask if any of you would be willing to bring me back home," Y/N started, before being interrupted by Harry. "You just got here, but if you want to leave so soon then I could bring you back. Where do you live?"
    "No," Y/N started again, huffing slightly before continuing, "I don't live here. I don't live anywhere near here. I was just sitting at home and got sucked through a TV and landed here, and I wanted to know if any of you would be willing to help me on getting me out of here because I don't belong here."
    The others harmonized in an 'oh' before Robin spoke up, "This is reminding me of one of those small comics that's on the newspaper."
    Y/N slightly giggled at this before looking back at the others, pleading that they'd say yes. They'd look at each other before Harry nodded, "Seems like a...a cool idea. It would be nice to get out more often."
    "Can this be like those adventure movies that come on the television sometimes?" Doi asked, cabins Y/N to hesitate before nodding, causing him to smile. Now was the duck's response to this.
    "Fine, but it shouldn't take forever like the last time we tried going on an adventure." Robin would side-eye both Harry and Doi, to which they both looked away.

    A smile spread on Y/N's face as they had a new team to help them get out of this place and return home, feeling ecstatic about the start of a new adventure.
