Kapre!Philippines x Reader (part 1)

Kapre (Filipino): the Bigfoot of the Philippines that smokes cigars a lot. If you're in the woods and find yourself going in circles, the Kapre's playing with you.

I found this and felt like I had to do this one. I read the description and the first thing that came to mind was Stoner Bigfoot. At first I was stuck between choosing this and a Dwende, but my friend help me choose this one.

Go out to the creek tonight, they said. You'll be fine, they said.

You're currently walking back from the creek for a rock for your little sibling. They needed a rock specifically from this creek and your parents made you go tonight. You tried to argue to go tomorrow, when the sun's out, but they made you go tonight. You're walking with your flashlight in your jacket pocket because you can see just fine with the moon shining so bright.

You swear you've seen that big pile of rocks five minutes ago. Great, now you're going in circles. You look at the rocks and notice something.

"This pile of rocks looks like a turtle," you think out loud.

You hear a laugh from up in the trees and smell tobacco smoke. You look in that direction and see a creature you've only heard about in fairy tales. You see a Kapre sitting in a tree, smoking a cigar. The way the trees are casting a shadow, you can't really see what color his fur is or anything.

"I never noticed that before," he says as he takes the cigar from his mouth, smiling at you. You can see how sharp his teeth are by the light of his cigar. "A turtle that big could grow a tree right on its back and maybe walk off with it."

You think of a joke and it makes you smile. "Then it could make like a tree and leave."

The Kapre laughed even harder at your joke. "What's your name, girl?"

"(Name)."

He took a drag from his cigar. "I'm Dakila. (Name), this is fun."

You give him a confused look. "What's fun?"

"Playing with you like this. I thought just keeping you going in circles was entertaining, but talking to you is way better."

"Uh, thanks, I guess. I must admit I've never talked to a Kapre before, so this is an interesting encounter."

He puts the cigar back in his mouth, gets down from his tree and approaches you. He stops once he's at arm's reach and you see he's an entire head taller than you. He smiles at you.

"We should spend more time together, (Name)."

"Uh, okay. But can I please go home now? I need to get back to my family before they start worrying."

The smile left his face. "But aren't you having fun too?"

"Well, kinda, yeah, but-"

"Then stay! But if you really have to, you know what you have to do to get outta playing with me."

Of course, you know he's referring to how when a Kapre's making you go in circles, you have to wear your shirt inside out.

"Fine, just turn around, okay?"

"Sure." He turns around and so do you. What you don't know is he's actually watching you over his shoulder outta his peripherals, he's just acting like he's looking at something else. He smiles because he likes what he sees.

Once you're done turning your shirt inside out and putting it back on, he turns his head forward to seem like he was never looking.

"Okay, you can turn back around now," you tell him as you turn back to face him.

He turns back around and he gives you a sad look. "Do you really have to go?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry. Goodbye Dakila. It was nice talking to you." With that, you start to walk away. Dakila got back into the trees and started following you home to make sure you got there safely. What if you tripped on a root or a rock and twisted your ankle or something?

He's content when he sees you enter your house.

This one, Dakila thought to himself, I like this woman. (Name), I'm gonna make you mine.
