+{"My love..~"}+ [Shrignold x Reader FanFic.] (OLD ASF)

{"Friends on the other side."} [7]

Larry began to slow his pace as you both approached the house. The house you had been first brought to after stepping through that damn door.
"It's best we go to Tony first.." Larry explained, his goofy tone now serious as he set you down on your feet. Once you had regained balance, Larry offered you a hand, which you awkwardly took as you both began to walk inside. In a puff of pink smoke, he was back to his lamp form. You had to lean a bit to keep holding the gloved hand, but you'd manage.

He went inside the house, keeping a fairly good hold of your hand as you both made it into a living room.. There on three chairs was- 

"EEH!? Wake up!" The bird puppet shook the red man awake, pointing at you quickly. "..Wow, they're actually alive..?" He spoke in his usual voice, sitting up a bit. This made the yellow puppet childs' head shoot up at you, and he run towards you crying. 
"You're okay! They're okay, Red!" He hugged you, Larry now letting go of your hand to go over to a clock on the wall. The same one that once stayed in your room.. 'Yep, that's Tony.'
Upon nudging the clock with a stick, his eyes opened in pure annoyance.
"What Larry?-" He began, however, he fully stopped upon seeing you being hugged by the small child. "Larry, you can't just take the human from him because you wanted to be the one in charge of the-" Larry cut him off sharply, still serious. "Tony, they were in a tree trunk... They were carving their 'dang' way out. Shrignold was even trying to BRAINWASH them.." His voice was angry, actually angry.. Tony hopped off the wall, his expression changing to a serious one.

They began to talk as you and Yellow guy chatted happily.

Truth was..? You were still afraid, you felt trapped still, yet you were out of the wooden trap.. The yellow boy patted your back, making you flinch for a second.. You eased, your gaze softening and allowed the boy to comfort you, and show you his drawings. It was calm... Not the silence you had before, it was different here.. It was comforting.
"Are you listening..?" Yellow guy pouted, making you look at him quickly. "Sorry kiddo, I'm just a bit shaken up is all, what'cha need?" You admitted, chuckling. "Mr. Clock and Mr. Lamp want to talk with you.." He smiled, happy to be helpful. "Thank you for letting me know then Buddy." You ruffled his mohawk, getting up and heading over to Larry and Tony as the small puppet fixed his hair. 
"Lil' man sent me over.. Y'all needed something..?" You tilted your head, almost not blinking for a moment. "Larry has informed me of your plan.. And I believe that would truly be the best course of action." He turned to you, holding out a hand. "So.. Consider this as a sign of my trust." Tony gave you a firm handshake upon you grabbing his gloved cartoony hand. "Thank you." You smiled a bit, seeming to catch him off guard.
"You will be able to stay here until you feel it is time for the next part of your plan.." Tony seemed honestly happy to have been thanked. You nodded, now moving onto the next 'person' to befriend... 'Sketch'.

Tony befriended.

"Sketch, I have someone you might want to see." Larry called out into the kitchen, making the nearby sketchbook get up, turning their gaze to you and instantly hopping over.
"LARRYY, You brought them back! We have so little time, we need to get you paints and markers!- What medium do you prefer?" Sketch poofed into a more human for, their face was all white, while the rest of their body was inky and black. Their hair was long with a bunch of pastels, and their dress was all white with paint splashes all over it.

[Yes I used this design, ALSO NOT MY ART! There are red, blue, and yellow splatters over the dress.]

"...U-Um... I prefer drawing digitally actually.. It's easier for me." You stuttered, a bit nervous from how hyper the teacher was. ". . . Colin! We need a tablet and a-... what are they called?" They turned to you for the info.. ".. Apple pen." You answered, Sketch turning back to the computer. "And a 'apple pen'!" They yelled, Colin poking his computer head around the doorway to see who needed such things.. "!sn't thaT Shr!ngn0ld$ hum+n?" It asked, it's face displaying an image of a blue and black butterfly. "... Yeah, why ARE you here human!" They asked excitedly, wanting to honestly know.
"Well um... Things happened, and Shrignold needs to be away from me for a lil' bit.." You rubbed the back of your neck, waiting for a reply. "00h.." Colin immediately stopped displaying the butterfly, seeming to understand that something had happened.. Something bad it had realized after it had replayed the tone of your voice in its head.. "That's alright, you just get to hang out with us for now!" Sketch said excitedly, handing you the apple pen and tablet to draw on. You gave a shy smile, happy to be in a slightly calmer environment. 

You began to draw, even giving Sketch a few turns to give them tips on using the app. "And you tap with three fingers to redo it!" You explained drawing a line, undoing it by tapping with two fingers, and then redoing it with three. "That's actually super easy!" Sketch seemed to catch on fast, now able to fully use the app. Of course, there was a few ink smudges.. But nothing that a bit of wipes couldn't fix!
After a while, you both decide to make self portraits, each one drawing themselves!

[TW FOR FACIAL DYSMORPHIA. . . IF THAT CONTENT TRIGGERS YOU, SKIP TO THE NEXT BOLD TEXT!]

You began to draw a base, a simple head and shoulders drawing! But.. after drawing the base, you froze... What did you look like again..? You decided to just make a shadowed face and a single eye on the right of the face. You made the shape of your hair, using the same black to fill in the color of the hair. . .
'What do I look like. . .? [E/C]? No that isn't right.. Brown eyes..? Green? What does my face even look like..' You began to look around for a mirror.. anything to reflect your face. 
"... You okay?" Sketch suddenly asked, an actual worried tone in their voice. "Sketch... What does my face look like..?" You asked, your voice wavering a bit. "Oh.. Well.. you have [E/C] eyes, [H/C] [H/L] hair... And [scars/freckles/etc].." They smiled. 

[YOU'RE OKAY TO READ PAST HERE!]

You thanked Sketch, and they continued to describe your face for you to help. After a while, you got it down.. 
You stared a bit, it was YOU... Really... YOU..

"Thank you, Sketch." You looked up at them, a smile on your lips. "Just helping a friend.." They replied.

Sketch befriended..

After you both had finished drawing, you were cleaning off the tablet and pen, getting the ink off. You highly doubted Colin would be happy to have to clean it itself. 
You began to sing to yourself as you walked, nothing much, just some goofy song you remembered.

You went to humming once you found Colin, leaving the tablet and pen on the far away table to avoiding any touching, which you had learned, was like acid to Colin. And after a bit of chatting from a good distance, you both became fairly good friends!

Colin befriended...

You left Colin to its nap, now aiming to befriend the 'food gang'.. And all you had to do was compliment their cooking!

FOOD GANG befriended....

Other then that.. You had befriended everyone in the house!

And now?

Phase 2 was ready to begin.
