A/N: This is how I cope\\
Shrimpo has gone on plenty of supply runs. He had seen his fair share of twisteds.
This was his first time ever meeting Twisted Dandy.
And this thing was a damn sadist.
The other Twisteds usually killed you off quick. With just a second of pain if any.
Twisted Dandy however, did not.
Shrimpo was pinned down into the floor. Not being able to avoid the beast.
He expected it to just bite his jugular and he'd be dead. But that wasn't the case.
It started with his arms.
Than his legs. Than the pink area on his head.
And than his torso. He only stayed alive for a few seconds after that. Finally putting him out of his misery after a good 2 minutes of torture.
When he opened his eyes he was in front of the machine they used to revive dead Toons. It looks a lot like an extraction machine.
Goob was the one who revived him. He was also the one he went to the floor with. "Shrimpo!" He smiled and hugged him.
Shrimpo stiffened. His heart started racing as his eyes darted around.
Every single color looked like Dandy's petals. Every color reminded him of what he saw while being torn apart.
He accidentally glanced over at Dandy's shop. Dandy was standing there.
His twisted form looked scarily like him.
"LET ME GO!" Shrimpo yelped out. Usually when he yelled at Goob to get off him his voice sounded angry. But he sounded scared.
Goob immediately let him go. "Shrimpo...?" Shrimpo immediately noticed other Toons staring at him. Most concerned.
Shrimpos breathing quickened. He took a step back from Goob.
Goob stood up. "Shrimpo-" Shrimpo ran away to his room. Goob didn't move. Surprised and concerned.
Teagan walked over to him "...Do you know what that was about...?" Goob looked back at her.
"Not really...? He died from Twisted Dandy at the last floor we went to." Teagan sighed "Ah, Twisted Dandy can be vicious. Have you ever been killed by him?"
"No. Not personally, how vicious?" "Well he usually kills Toons a lot slower, it can be... Painful."
Goob immediately thought back to the first time any of them had seen him. Boxten.
Poor Boxten was traumatized for weeks. Only Poppy could talk to him. He didn't leave his room or eat for weeks.
Goob looked at where Shrimpo had walked to. "... I'm going to talk to him." Teagan didn't argue with this. Letting him go.
Shrimpo ran into his room. Slamming the door behind him. Not bothering to lock it.
He dove under the blanket on his bed. Grabbing his pillow like it was a lifeline.
Shrimpo sobbed loudly. Louder than he ever had.
What happened to him replayed in his mind.
The sickening smell of Ichor
The feeling and sounds of his limbs being torn apart.
The glare from the beast that murdered him.
It all felt like too much.
He could almost feel his limbs being torn off again.
As Goob approached his door, he could hear Shrimpos loud wracking sobs.
It felt so uncanny. Shrimpo always cared heavily about his reputation. He'd never cry or show emotion other than hate.
But here he was. Absolutely bawling so loud it could be heard multiple feet away.
Goob gently knocked at the door. "...Shrimpo...?" It was like Shrimpo didn't even hear him.
Goob slowly opened the door. Sure, it was in invasion of privacy. But his friend just went through a traumatic experience. He has to help!
He sat on the bed. Making sure not to touch Shrimpo Incase he didn't want it. Sure he loved hugs. But Shrimpo didn't seem like he wanted one earlier.
"...Shrimpo... Is there... Anything a can do to hel-" Before Goob could finish Shrimpo clung to him like a lifeline. Goob let him. Patting his head gently.
After a while of sobbing. Shrimpo quieted down. Goob noticed his eyes had shut. He was asleep.
As much as Goob would've liked to talk about what happened. This was probably for the best. Especially after how much he had been crying.
He realized after crying so much Shrimpo would probably be dehydrated.
He scooped Shrimpo up in his arms so he wouldn't have to leave him or wake him before walking to his room. Which was right next door.
He shuffled through his own rations. Grabbing 3 cans of pop, a handful of Gumballs and a protein bar.
He walked back to Shrimpos room. Figuring he'd prefer to be in a familiar environment.
He sat back down on Shrimpos bed again. Setting him down so only his head was resting on him.
Goob leaned his head against the wall. Starting to doze off. He rested his hand on Shrimpos head.
Shrimpo woke up with a flinch and a sharp breathe.
He had frequent nightmares. Probably Astro. But tonight it was about what happened to him.
He thoughtlessly clenched onto Goob. Finding comfort in the soft fur.
Goob let out a quiet "mrrpphh" sound as he awoken.
He looked down at Shrimpo. Who was hugging his waist. He gently started petting his head.
Shrimpo relaxed at this. Letting Goob pet his head. It distracted him from his own thoughts.
Goob grabbed one of the soda cans "...Are you thirsty?" Shrimpo nodded a bit.
Goob handed the can to Shrimpo. Who sat up to drink it. Leaning against Goob for comfort.
Goob wrapped an arm around Shrimpos shoulder. Once Shrimpo was finished with his drink Goob offered him a protein bar. Which is accepted.
Shrimpo ate in silence. With Goob deciding to have a quick drink. Once they were both done. Goob decided to start the conversation.
"...Do you want to talk about what happened...?" Shrimpo shook his head. "...Bit really... I uhm... I'm scared for when I have to go back to the elevator..."
Goob put the empty can down and wrapped his arms lovingly around Shrimpo. Not really considering him not wanting a hug.
"Well... Boxten took a few weeks off after getting attacked by Twisted Dandy... And when you do have to go back I'll go with you."
Shrimpo didn't reply. He wasn't quite sure how to. He hugged Goobs side "...Thanks." Goob smiled and hugged him tighter "Of course!"
