A Small Terezi X Reader Fanfic

Chapter 9

A/N: this is written over the course of a month so the theme shifts a bunch of times

(Your POV)

The two of us are still running, and I don't think Terezi knows where she's going. At this point, I think she's just going wherever looks safe. Which is probably nowhere. She abruptly stops, and you bump into her. 

"(Y/N), WH3R3 4R3 W3 GO1NG?" She asks. I stare at her in confusion.

"What do you mean? Why are you asking me that?"

"WH3R3 4R3 W3 GONN4 GO? 1F W3 GO B4CK HOM3 W3'LL G3T C4UGHT 4ND GO B4CK TO J41L." Her usual twisted smile is replaced by a concerned frown. You considered her question. Maybe you could change your names and move out to Seattle ((Heathers anyone??)), but your car got totaled in the crash, and Terezi is no longer allowed to own a vehicle for reasons she wont tell you.

"...Do you have any friends we could stay with?" You finally answered.

"Y34H.. D4V3 COULD PROB4BLY L3T US ST4Y." When she said that, you noticed her lower jawshift, and you were unsure as to what that meant, but you think she maybe doesn't want to stay with him?? EH, it probably didn't mean anything. You both approached an awkward silence, different matters surely on your minds.

After a minute of thick awkward tension, Terezi stated walking in a different direction. Instinctively, you follow her, despite the numerous reason why you should not. 

"B3FOR3 YOU 4SK, TH1S 1S TH3 W4Y TO D4V3'S HOUS3." Well, that answered that question.

"Did you realize the sun is starting to get dark?" You ask, seeing a few stars pop into visibility.

"DO YOU TH1NK 1 C4N S33 TH3 SKY?" She asked half-sarcastically.

"Okay smartass, you win. But seriously, it's gonna get cold soon. WHere are we gonna sleep if we don't make it to Dave's?" 

"1 DUNNO, 1 F1GUR3D YOU'D D3C1D3 TH4T. YOU 4LW4YS M4K3 TH3 SM4RT D3C1S1ONS." You heard her sigh, but thought nothing of it. You two spent the next few minutes traveling through the dark woods in silence.  You begun to wonder how big these woods are, since you've been walking for a while. 

-later, you FINALLY get to the strider household-

Panting from the amount of walking you just did, you walk up to the doorstep of the house that Terezi swears is the right one. You don't see any weird puppets on the ground though, but perhaps that's for the best. You knocked the door and half-hoped to find a shirtless Strider opening the door.

Alas, Rose was the one who greeted you, not an attractive blonde. Well, she is a blonde, and she could definitely be described as pretty, but that is beside the point.

"Ah, hello (Y/N), Terezi." She yawned. "What brings you to this place of living at the late hours of the evening?" Rose was dressed in a thin purple nightgown, which looked luxurious compared to your dirty jail uniforms. Terezi, acting oddly quiet, let you tell the story.

-timeskip because 8 chapters is too much for me to sum up lol-

Rose fell asleep listening to your explanation, and when you finally noticed, Terezi let out a quick giggle. You lightly slapped her in retaliation, but she walked past you and into the Strider house. You strictly followed, and shut the door behind you. You may be exhausted, but you do have manners! 

Looking inside, the house was pretty messy, and the T.V. was left on, and you could hear some sort of casual cooking show playing from it. Dirk was sprawled out on the couch, and Dave was nowhere to be seen. You looked at Terezi, who was sitting in front of the T.V. YOu coughed in an attempt to gain her attention, but she was too absorbed in the show. You sighed and explored the rest of the small house- you had never been there before, after all.

You walked around the corner into the kitchen. Unsurprisingly, it was trashed. Many dishes were unwashed on the counter, and there was a whole watermelon with a butcher knife stuck in it...? Ignoring the watermelon, you continued your search for Dave. You assumed he would be awake, like every other teenage boy is at 10 PM. The only room you haven't checked at this point is the bedrooms on the other end of the house. Passing by the living room again, you saw that the troll you came with was still watching that show. You also noticed it was 10:36, which was far past lights out at the prison. You could finally stay up late watching anime / drawing / writing / whatever! 

While fantasizing about your freedom, you walked directly into a closed door- and snapped out of your daze the second you made contact. You heard a small girly squeal from the other side of the door- did the Striders adopt a small child? 

"bro I am not in the mood for one of your surprise attacks." you heard from the room. You looked on the door, and it has those flame letter stickers that spell out 'Dave'. So that's who sleeps here.

"Uh I wasn't trying to attack you- whoever you are. I just walked into this..I mean your..door." you said as quietly as possible so as not to wake anyone in the house up. You heard a sigh and footsteps from inside the room before the wooden door was cracked open just enough for you to see a smaller version of Dirk- probably Dave. Yeah, that's him.

"okay what do you want?" he asked, showing no emotions in his face. 

"Uh you might not know who I am, but I think you know Terezi- her and I just ran from prison,and need a place to stay." you tried to explain as best as possible. Dave readjusted his sunglasses, as if that was his way of showing shock. It might be, you have no idea.

"woah thats sick. do you have any cops on your tracks?" 

"No! Well maybe, I'm not sure. But still, we want to stay safe for the night, and she thought here would be a good place." 

"well she has the best taste. you can crash here if you want." Dave shrugged and closed the door on you. AT least that settles that. 

You turned around and tried to find the most comfortable place to sleep. Almost every good place was already taken. You could always sleep on Dirk's bed, since he was on the couch, but you didn't want to be weird. So you settled on the bathtub. 

You found it hard to go to sleep in the hard plastic tub.
