I got bored and decided to write this.
Cover by me!
Pollux decided to go for a walk only to instantly run into a small wither storm, a baby one. She quickly learned that it was fully sentient unlike other wither storms that destroy dimensions and i...
She woke up on the couch to a dark purple face, she jumped and shrieked and Wither's eyes snapped open and they scrambled about spooked and Pollux struggled before remembering the previous events as she saw the still damp towel on the floor. Wither whined and nuzzled her and Pollux was very confused by everything.
What is she doing?
"Spooky dream?" Wither asked innocently and she took a deep shaky breath "sure-" Wither held her body close with their very sharp claws, she saw them relaxing after the spook and she stayed stiff as Wither demanded "hungry!" she turned over before she began to wonder how long she slept.
She rubbed her eyes and opened up the energy built hologram and Wither gawked at it "pretty!" they said trying to grab at it and she tucked the hologram out of their reach and said "no" Wither's face fell and she tried to ignore it as she looked at the time and her heart stopped in shock.
She slept in.
Way too late.
She stood up off the couch much to Wither's surprise and she quickly grabbed a fresh set of clothes and rushed into the bathroom to change before trying to claw through the knots in her hair with a hair brush, come on come on- they were not coming out. She struggled and even tried human detangler stuff, it seemed to do the trick... at least a small bit.
Earth gifted that to her when she noticed how knotty her hair got, now she was very thankful. She was struggling and fixing her hair, trying to make sure she looked decent for the daily meeting that she was very VERY late to, the other celestial bodies, especially her twin, were probably very concerned.
She combed through her hair and she heard a crash from the other room and her head snapped over, she saw Wither fall onto the floor from the couch and lay their stunned, she put down her brush instantly but she saw them stand up on all fours and shake themselves out before losing balance and falling over.
She went back to combing the knots out of her hair, she swore her hair had more knots then usual and she was in a rush so it was frustrating her. She jumped in surprise when she saw Wither had dragged themselves over to her and was trying to climb her leg "up!" they squeaked, she tried to ignore them but they kept insisting so she was forced to pick them up and they relaxed and squeaked "i'm hungry!" shoot- I'm going to have to feed them!
And I just now realized I can't leave them alone to go to the meeting... things just got complicated. Wither sneezed and straight up melted her brush, she dropped it jumping back and Wither stared innocently as she stared in shock at the plastic mush that used to be her brush.
"Food!" Wither squeaked and Pollux took a deep breath as she now realized she's going to have to take care of Wither before she can go to the meeting she was already an hour late to. She was also hoping she didn't end up like that hairbrush. Wither began to squirm and she sighed tiredly "calm down..." she set Wither on the couch, or tried, Wither didn't let go of her.
She sighed as Wither squeaked "chicky nuggies!" "I'm going to give you something healthier... like eggs" she teleported with Wither for a split second and stole a carton of eggs, she was about to cook them when Wither snatched the carton and he began to devour the raw eggs.
She shrieked in alarm but quickly realized that Wither looked happy with themselves, they could probably digest raw food, this however is not behavior she wants them to learn. "Bad" she said sternly "no" Wither looked confused and hurt and she shoved the carton of eggs in the trash and she sat them on the couch and said "listen, I'm going to go and-" suddenly she heard a knock at the door.
Wither asked pretty loudly "who's that-?" "shush shush!" she hissed and she wrapped him in a blanket and put in the bathroom "be quiet okay, shhh, no sneezing or squeaking okay?" Wither just said innocently "okay!" she took a deep breath because she was quite sure he didn't understand what she meant and she closed the bathroom door and opened her bedroom door "hhheeyyy" she said doing awkward finger guns at her twin.
Castor looked her up and down and asked concerned "did you get hit by a truck again?" she shook her head "no no! I just slept in on accident-" "Pollux, we can't sleep in, we have a internal clock" "yeah that's what I'm confused about!" she said truthfully and Castor gave her another concerned look before asking "is this about that wither storm?" oh you have no idea.
"No not really, I just uh- I have no idea how I ended up sleeping in so late" she stammered rubbing her eyes tiredly and Castor said "if this keeps happening, I'm going to be very concerned. That could mean your internal clock somehow got messed up..." he trailed off before sighing "Pollux your hair is such a mess..." she said "well yeah! I used detangler and it worked a little bit but my hair is feral in the morning, I have been fighting at it!" "well you haven't done a very good job- is that an empty egg carton?" she turned over and internally cursed when she saw it had fallen out of her trash can.
"I uh- like eggs in the morning!" she said and Castor narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously before saying "okay then, you can skip the meeting, you slept through the entire thing. It is over now Pollux, it just ended" shame filled her and Castor grunted "try not to sleep in again" he gave her hair a slight ruffle to show her he wasn't mad before saying "you wanna help train Lunar or-?" oh no.
If she said no he'd suspect something, if she said yes he wouldn't suspect anything but a wither storm with the mentality of a toddler will be alone for heavens knows how long. She began to panic internally and Castor seemed to notice and he asked worried "seriously are you okay...?" "Great!" she said loudly clapping her hands together making her brother jump in surprise at the sudden loud sound.
He looked at her before saying "I think you need a break Pollux... I'll just uh, you stay here okay and rest, I can take over training" she was surprised by that and he looked at her with worried eyes.
"Erm" he patted her head gently again before teleporting away and she took a deep shaky breath and closed the door just as Wither began to scratch at the bathroom door like a feral cat. She walked over and opened the door and door Wither fell forward onto their face and they squeaked looking up at her.
She saw her door was covered in deep scratch marks and just sighed at this point, "come on..." she said picking them up gently like a very large cat and they rested their head on her shoulder, purring softly and trustfully. Why do they trust her so much, she's known them for only a day. She sighed and rubbed their spike covered back gently and they nuzzled their face into her shoulder and just fell asleep.
How did I get to this point..?
Why did I even sleep late anyway, jeez... Wither just slept there and she walking around her room cleaning things that had gotten messed up, Wither was asleep and causing no chaos and she kept thinking about how she needed to tell the others about his existence but truth is, she was scared to.
She began to clean the bathroom as she thought over everything and she came across a soap bar with a bite taken out of it, nearby a wet chunk of soap was nearby looking like Wither spat it out instantly out of disgust. She should have expected this... hopefully they stopped eating soap now and learned their lesson.
She knew the soap smelled sweet, it smelled like roses and did smell tasty she admitted. She could see how they made this mistake, she just really hoped they didn't try again.
