Wally Darling x (fem) reader

WELCOME HOME!!

You took a deep breath, staring at the neighborhood. One house caught your eye, a red house, the windows looked as if they had eyes. You cocked your head shaking your head, "not possible" you thought. Gathering yourself and your bags as you took a deep breath in, "I'm ready."

You made your way down to your new home, a small brightly colored house, you smiled and giggled, twirling your skirt around as you set your bags down at the door and unlocked it.

You were just about to walk in when a soft hand was placed on your shoulder.

you jumped up, letting a small squeak out as you spun around turning to see a yellow puppet with blue hair, somehow in a pompadour style that seemed to deny all laws of gravity.

He smiled at you, eyes wide as if they were staring through your soul. His smile faded, "your awfully small for a puppet," he said, then smiled again.

You stood straight and sighed, "well if your barely taller than me you clearly aren't tall yourself!" You said.

You closed your eyes, an unwilling grin appearing on your face as you heard him start to laugh. It sounded as if he didn't know how to laugh, it was monotone and delayed, but you found it sweet and began giggling along.

His laugh faded away, as you opened your eyes, seeing his big eyes again. "Wally, Wally Darling," he spoke soft and smoothly. He lifted his hand out in front of you. You smiled and shook his hand.

"Y/n" you said, his mouth parted in awe.

"Y/n..." he said quietly, he looked back at the red house you saw before. His eyes wider and his mouth closed in a straight line.

His grip on your hand tightened. You stared at him, "w-Wally?" Your murmured. He looked at you suddenly, eyelids low and the same smile on his face.

"Ha, Haa.. I'm okay, how about I introduce you to everyone?" He let go off your hand and tucked a stray strand of hair back up into his hair, he grumbled something out before pulling a small mirror out of his sweater.

He smiled at you, a signal to follow him as he led you towards a small market, you watched as he fiddled with his hair, he then put it away and opened the door to the market.

"Howdy-do fellas! Welcome in.." a tall puppet somewhat resembling a caterpillar stares down at you, a smile on his face as he reaches out one of his many hands. "Howdy pillar's my name, how do you do madam?" He asked, a hinge of accent to him.

You laughed and giggled as you shook his hand, "y/n, I'm doing great! I just moved in, Wally was just showing me around!" You turned around to Wally to find him bent over into a crate full of apples.

Howdy scoffed as he saw the yellow puppet jump down, a face full of apples, a satisfied look on his face. "Alright Wally, ol' Howdy needs a break from your shenanigans.." he mumbled under a soft chuckle as he walks to organizes shelf.

The bell of the door rings again, you turn around to see a big blue beagle, his eyes widen, followed by a smile as he sees you. "Ah, y/n you made it!" He pats your head as he walks to Wally.

Who is still hunched into the apple crate, searching for the perfect apple. He grabs Wally, holding him so there eye to eye, he laughs, "Wally's still on his rampage, don't give howdy too much problems aye?" He laughs as Wally rolls his eyes and nods.

He sets him down and Wally walks back to you, taking a bite of an apple as he pulls it out of his mouth, he hands you an apple from his other hand, "would you like one neighbor?" He asks softly.

You smile and shake your head, " no thank you, it's okay," you say.

He nods and turns to the beagle, "Bye Barnaby!" He yells with a wave. Your eyes light up.
