They had arrived at Cuddles' house, and Flippy kept quiet. He hadn't talked much, still wary of the group. They seemed friendly, but Jitter had taught him everyone's an enemy until proven otherwise. Plus, he wasn't sure if they'd still be just as friendly knowing more about him. He was trying to form a few plans in his head, but he couldn't predict the outcome. He could be just as delusional as Jitter at times. The more he thought about his friend, the stronger the heartache became.
"Hey, Flippy! Are you ok?" Toothy asked, rubbing his back softly. Flippy broke from his thoughts, and looked at him. He hadn't noticed he'd began crying. He quickly wiped his tears, smiling at the concerned group.
"You wanna talk about it?" Giggles asked, keeling next to him and Toothy. He shook his head slightly, pulling his knees to his chest and resting his head on them.
"Ok. We won't force you. If you change your mind, don't hesitate to tell us," Giggles smiled, softly rubbing his ear (-they're animals! It's socially acceptable damn it! God, that sounds fucking weird!-)They finally backed away from Flippy, giving him space. Cuddles had found a bottle, and they agreed on a game of spin the bottle.
"Hey, Flippy, you wanna play?" Cuddles asked the bear, who was still curled up. He sat up, giving them a confused look.
"Spin the bottle. You wanna play?" Cuddles briefly explained, Flippy still looking confused, "come over, we'll show you." Flippy did as he was told, scooting over and joining the circle. (- this is a version I saw somewhere. I think it was an X-men comic xD -)
"So, we'll go in a circle taking turns to spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on has to go in the wardrobe with you and tell you a secret. It can be as random, simple, or personal as you want," Cuddles explained, sitting between Flippy and Giggles. Flippy looked uncomfortable, but before he could protest, Cuddles spun the bottle. Much to his dismay, it landed on him. Once again, he wasn't given a chance to argue, being dragged into the wardrobe.
"Go ahead," Cuddles whispered once the door was shut."I- I can't tell you any! All of them a- are too personal!" He quietly pleaded, but Cuddles wasn't having any of it. He sighed, already putting together Cuddles was pushy, and very demanding.
"Uh... I dunno.... hmm... I have medical training?" Flippy shrugged, receiving an annoyed glare from Cuddles."You already told us you used to be a medic! Come on! There's gotta be something!" Cuddles whisper-yelled, rolling his eyes.
"I'm allergic to venison. Good enough?" Flippy groaned, quickly leaving the wardrobe.
"See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" Cuddles asked following him, "Oh, and you can't use that one again." Flippy groaned, burying his head in his hands.
"A- are you ok?" Flaky asked him, shuffling closer. Flippy looked at her, his expression soft. He smiled and nodded, receiving a hug from the strange, but kind, creature. He tried to hug her back, but a sharp pain filled his hand. He yelped, pulling it back, and shoving Flaky.
"I- I'm s- so sorry!" Flaky apologised, moving up to her knees."What were you expecting!? She's a porcupine!" Toothy asked, more in a humorous way. Everyone but Flaky and Flippy laughed. The bear was too caught up glaring at his hand. Sharp... he wasn't sure what they were. All he knew was that they were in his hand, some going around the bone, and coming out the other side. A small amount of blood leaked out, but was mostly blocked by them.
"F- Flippy, y- you're-""Heh, well then. I'll know next time. Uh, I'll be right back ok. I'm gonna try to find your restroom," Flippy stated, nervously laughing with the others. Flaky seemed to notice something no one else did. Flippy went pale looking at his hand, and his eyes went out of focus. It lasted a mere second, but it looked wrong to the porcupine. He just seemed so... so... lost? Confused? Scared? Angry? Whatever he'd felt, it looked a strange combination of the four.
Before Flaky could even ask about it, Flippy hopped up and all but ran out of the room. Still, no one else even batted an eye. Flaky couldn't tell wether it was just her usual habit of worrying when it wasn't needed, or her ability of empathy. Her friends often joked about her having a sixth sense able to detect emotion. She sat in silence as everyone else laughed. Well, that was, until they heard glass break...
Mwahahaha!!!!! Sorry not sorry ;)
One thing I AM 100% sorry about is how long it took. Admittedly, I lost interest. But, I've been watching some more HTF, and it got me thinking more about how the characters behave. So, here you are. Another chapter. Tell me your thoughts.
Also, if you'd like to have an oc and/or character representing you featured, let me know. After all, I'm gonna need to some characters to fill in certain roles. Of course, I'm prepared to just make more filler characters, but it'd just be more fun. The min to max is 1-3 characters. Let me know. No rush ;;;))). Hope you enjoyed xxxxxI can't even explain yo you how much I wanted to write 'Pricked By A Prick' for the title. But, I can't say that about my little cinnamon bun. Flippy and Flaky are my babies!!! Sorry, fan girling done.
