Charlie is living a normal life in his apartment and working some 9-5 job. He's a bit lonely but he manages. He thinks that the apartment has a rat problem so he gets traps. One day, the trap catches something, but it's certainly not a rat. It's a very tiny Etoiles. He reveals that he is a magic sprite (maybe with fairy wings?? idk) and has been secretly living in Charlie's apartment for a while, borrowing what he needs from Charlie.
Charlie was returning from work, he was very hungry and exhausted he has had a few sleeping problems but nothing to be worried about, he got out of car and entered his apartment, he unlocked the door and entered the room, he flicked the lights open which lit the room, his apartment looked like an asylum room, white walls, white lights, white furniture it made the other stuff stand out from the white room, the white made it look empty and alone which he was but he didn't really care about it he was rarely even home so why have a roommate or partner.
Charlie went to the fridge and grabbed a some Chinese food leftovers and went to his tiny living room, he sat down and looked for the tv remote he found it on the floor the battery cap was missing but both batteries were in the remote, Charlie shrugged not thinking about it too much, some hours passed by and Charlie went to the bathroom but on his way there he heard a tiny movement on one of the closet, he went to check it but nothing was there he checked again but still nothing was there, his mind could be playing tricks on him probably from the lack of sleep but he still was a bit suspicious.
Charlie laying on his bed unable to sleep again he hated that, he was deep into though he thought about the noise he heard and the battery cap from the remote missing he thought about what could've made that sound, he thought about rats, maybe his apartment was infested by them , he thought about buying rat traps maybe to get rid of the supposed problem.
The next day Charlie woke up early his mind already setting on buying rat traps, he locked his apartment door and went out to Home Depot, He got to Home Depot and began searching for the rat traps he looked around the big building eventually getting lost at some toilet section, he looked around for any workers to help him, he walked around the area until he spotted one, a blonde guy with a white bucket hat with green stripes, Charlie approached the man "Hey! You work here right?" The blonde guy looked at Charlie and nodded "So I'm looking for rat traps do you happen to have some?" Charlie asked scratching the back of his neck "Yeah mate let me get you some, c'mon follow me" and Charlie started following the man through the store "So, You've got a rat problem? Or just to have some?" The blonde man asked "O-oh no I think my apartment has a rat problem so I'm just putting these around my apartment, just to be safe I don't want rats in there" The man hummed in response, they walk for some moment until they stopped "Well here they are, I recommend this one" The blonde said pointing at some rat traps Charlie inspected some of them before grabbing some "Ah, well thank you... Uh" The blonde interupted "It's Phil and you're welcome mate" Phil waved goodbye and left the aisle.
After paying for the items, Charlie drove back to his apartment he needed to get ready for his job, but before that he opened the traps and placed them around the apartment, after about 10 minutes of placing traps he sighed taking a look at his work he could finally catch the rat or rats, he didn't know if he did actually have an infestation or maybe his mind was really playing tricks on him after all he barely slept last night too busy thinking about what he could do, making scenarios in his head, his future... Charlie frowned at his own though, his dad had told him before leaving that he might never have a bright future, all his dad saw a failure, his mother on the other hand told him otherwise, they got into alot of fights about him, his mom always being the one to protect him and cheers him up, Charlie smiled at the thought of his mother, she would definitely be proud of him for getting a job, speaking of job Charlie snapped out of his thoughts and quickly got ready for work.
Charlie was returning from work he was glad he wasn't tired, his boss had been on his nice side today and had not given Charlie alot of work, Charlie got out of his car, unlocked his apartment and this time he didn't look at his fridge now the first thing he did was check the traps the sooner he checked the less worried he would be, he checked the kitchen first, it was most likely to find rats near food, he checked but nothing was there not a single one was activated, he looked around the apartment but stopped at the closet.
One of the traps was activated
And in the trap was not a rat not anything he would've expected.
"What the fuck" muttered Charlie grabbing a clothes hanger to take a close look at the creature the trap caught, "What the fuck are you" said Charlie with the intention of talking to himself, the creature looked at Charlie and thrashed as Charlie got closer obviously trying to get out of the trap.
Charlie inspected the creature from afar "What kind of creature are you..." Charlie said softly, the creature stopped the thrashing and looked at Charlie "I am a Pixie Gros con" [it translates to big idiot but I meant to say Dumbass] Charlie takes a few steps back surprised plastered all over his face and shouts "HOLY SHIT It talks!" The creature winces now frowning.
Charlie started speed walking away "O-okay okay" trying to regain himself he grabbed a jar from the kitchen and came back he got closer to the creature and fastly opened the trap and grabbed the Pixie grip firm so they don't run away and puts them in the jar "Okay you- you Vegetable Pixie-" "Nature" The Pixie interupted "I'm a Nature Pixie- or used to be" If Charlie wasn't confused before he definitely was now "What?" Charlie looked at the pixie "I was Uhm kicked out of my home at the forest because I don't really- Putain I was kicked because I didn't fit all of the other pixies, they wanted to dance while I wanted to fight so y'know o got kicked and now I'm here! Living in your walls stealing your stuff for my personal needs!" Charlie just looked like a mix of confused, surprised, and astonished "O-okay then... You steal my stuff because you got kicked out of your freaky nature cult of tiny fairies" "Ehh kind of but we are not fairies actually there is a big difference us pixies are much smaller and have more powers and mostly center more around nature, we are more mischievous and have pointier ears like elves not to be confused with dwarves though!" Charlie just nodded in response "So... Human why don't we introduce ourselves, we did have rough start, So I'm Etoiles which is star in French, I'm a Nature Pixie living in your household!" Said Etoiles smiling trying to wave Charlies hand but he forgot he was in a jar "I'm uh Charlie and this is my house?" Charlie said hesitating to open the lid of the jar "No worries I'm not going to escape I actually have a Proposal for you!" Etoiles said flapping (moving?) his tiny wings levitating a bit as Charlie opened the lid with hesitation "Okay what's your deal?" Etoiles smiled "I can give you company and I get to stay here! But don't worry I'll ask instead of steal" Charlie seemed to think for a moment "Okay, BUT you'll not live in my walls I'd prefer for you to live somewhere else" Etoiles smiled triumphantly "deal"
Charlie was laying on his bed, again he couldn't sleep he had let Etoiles, the pixie, stay in his apartment, it sounded like he was insane and out of his mind but company might be good for him.
Charlie felt his eyes closing
Maybe he made the right choice in letting the pixie stay
Charlie layed in his bed now asleep
After so long, Charlie could finally sleep and now he has a new friend.
