His dad had told him that something would happen soon. He didn't really understand what it could be but Chayanne was ready to fight whatever it was to protect his family. He would do his best to kill the enemy before it laid a hand on any of them.

Unfortunately, he is still just a child. One that needs sleep to be able to grow and to be able to protect those he loves. One that desires to be cared for and adores the stories and songs his dads would give tell him before bed. One that wished to have fun with the other eggs like Ramón and Tallulah.

A little warrior who was still just a kid.

When Chayanne woke up he didn't expect to be on cold white floors with the rest of the eggs. And it seemed like he was the first one awake.

He sat up and leaned against the wall as he noticed how sore his body felt. It wasn't the type of soreness from adventuring with his dad and little Tallulah. It was something bone deep that felt wrong. He took a good look at the other eggs and noticed that they all had a crack on their shells. Even little Tallulah who was lying next to him had one going down the front.

He was supposed to protect them. He failed them. He failed Tallulah.

Sobs escaped him as he tried to stay quiet. The dim room taunted him with the white walls and hard floors. He missed his soft bed and the starlight of the night sky. He missed being awoken by his dad putting on music and greeting him with a big warm smile. He missed his dad.

The other eggs slowly started waking up as well. Dapper was the first and he adjusted his top hat as he processed what happened. Tallulah was next and immediately hugged Chayanne when she noticed he was there. The two eggs cried together as the others woke up and tried to find comfort in each other. Chayanne held Tallulah as he hummed a broken little tune in an attempt to ease his niece's fear.

He had failed her. But he would still do his best to protect her while he still could. He wouldn't let this happen again.

It would be what felt like an eternity before the eggs heard any sounds. Chayanne held Tallulah close to himself while the other eggs bunched up to his sides. It took a few moments more but they soon recognized the sound of their parents looking for them. Ramón and Dapper were the first to start hitting the floor and trying their best to yell their parents' names as much as their underdeveloped draconian vocals chords could (which wasn't much but it added to what little noise they could make with none of their usual gear).

"Chayanne!"

"Ramón! Ramón!"

"Check the attic!"

"On the roof!"

The floor fell beneath Chayanne but luckily his dad was there to catch him. His dad hugged him tightly before setting him down to check him for any injuries. Chayanne himself was in a little bit of a daze but broke down crying and clung to his dad. His dad muttered soft reassurances as he held his son.

"Where's Tallulah?"

Chayanne turned and pointed up to where he fell from. Now that his dad was here, he and Tallulah could go home. His dad climbed up to the hole and carried down the crying little egg. Once he reached the ground he picked up Chayanne and held both kids in his arms as he used his warpstone to teleport them back home.

Once home, they were carried to his dads' bed. Both eggs were still weak and scared. Tallulah had a tight grip on both Chayanne and her abuelito as she hiccupped from crying. Chayanne would glance at the door almost expecting for it to be broken down whenever there was a sound outside. The three of them cuddled in bed as they calmed down from the stress of the day. From his dad's phone a soft melody (probably one of the ones Wilbur had left pre-recorded for Tallulah) played as they started to fall asleep.

Maybe Chayanne could convince his dad to train him to fight better. Or help him fortify their home.

The little warrior is just a kid though, and all of that days events wore him out. For now, he was safe with his dad and his little Tallulah within the comfort of their own home.

So I just yesterday was able to catch up on the QSMP vods from Philza's pov and holy fuck did the 4/30 stream hurt. 

Also fun fact: I was originally going to make this one a hurt no comfort fic but knowing how it feels to be on the receiving end of one of those I decided I needed to make sure these damned eggs would have comfort in the end. Also just the original ending didn't feel satisfying enough for me to leave it just like that.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed <3
