Cupid's Arrow (Pokkle x Female Reader)

Chapter 4

(Y/N) used what was left of her strength to sprint to the cave and get behind the barrier. Upon entering the cave, (Y/N) dropped to her knees while letting Pokkle off of her back and panting in exhaustion. (Y/N) knew something was wrong when she couldn't catch her breath at all, but that wasn't the worst of it. (Y/N) coughed up a small amount of blood, but was able to hide it from Pokkle since her back was turned to him. Pokkle heard her labored breathing and violent coughing fit; so he moved, with much difficulty, and sat beside (Y/N) to see if she was alright. Pokkle comfortingly put his hand on her shoulder, hoping that she was okay. However, (Y/N) couldn't feel the small act of consolation, because her body was going numb and her eyesight blurred even more, yet she was too stubborn to admit that she was in need of help

"Hey, are you okay? You don't look so good." Pokkle said worriedly.

"I'm fi-" (Y/N) trailed off as she finally lost consciousness, but Pokkle quickly caught her before she hit the cold stone ground.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!" Pokkle called out and shook (Y/N) to try to wake her up. He then noticed just how cold and pale (Y/N) was, but that's not all. Pokkle also noticed a small sting on (Y/N)'s collarbone that had a purple tint forming on the skin around it, which could only mean one thing. 'Poison?' Pokkle thought frantically to himself. Pokkle sensed that there was no one near them that could help, so he had to save her on her own. He gently placed his mouth over the Chimera Ant sting and attempted to draw out the toxic poison. The metallic taste of blood mixed with a bitter taste, most likely the poison, entered Pokkle's mouth. Pokkle then moved his head and spit out the crimson blood and blue-tinted poison. He repeated the process several times as (Y/N) whimpered in pain, but Pokkle knew this was the only way to save her at this point.

Pokkle continued to remove the poison, and (Y/N)'s breathing started to become steadier. Once Pokkle thought that he got most of the poison out, he gently laid (Y/N) down on the ground. A few minutes later, Netero and the others arrived at the cave, and they were happy to see that (Y/N) found Pokkle. However, when they saw (Y/N) they grew worried and rushed over to her. "What happened to her?" Netero asked Pokkle.

"As we were escaping from the nest, one of the Chimera Ants stung and poisoned her." Pokkle said tiredly.

"Alright, let's get her to a hospital." Netero said as Knuckle went over to (Y/N) and carefully picked her up. As they started to head out Pokkle stood up to follow them, but almost immediately fell over in exhaustion. Shoot quickly caught Pokkle before he fell and carried him on his back to catch up with the group.
