The Runaways

Wakey Wakey

Footsteps quickly approach my body then someone stops right by me
"What is this blasted thing? Bumblesworth check for me." Harricked Snaps
Bumblesworth bends down pushing my lifeless body over revealing more of me
"A girl? Out in the forest alone? What a pity..lets take her home Bumblesworth hopefully she won't mind us helping her. She should be happy we didn't leave her for the wolves!"
"Yes sir." Bumblesworth mumbles 
Bumblesworth begins gathering my belongings that had fallen out of my backpack and shoving them back in,he then puts the backpack on himself then picks me up carrying me in his arms.
"What about the bike sir?" 
"Just leave it! It's broken and I don't want to waste my good materials on it, come on Bumblesworth lets go."
After about 30 minutes they get back home to their home, It was all made out of wood and had a few floors including a few rooms on each floor. 
"Home sweet home! Now Bumblesworth open the door for me."
Bumblesworth sighs and opens the door trying not to drop me
"Thank you." Harricked says as he stomps inside

Bumblesworth walks inside as well looking around for a place to put me 
"U-Uh sir?"
"Yes?"
"What should I do with her?"
"Put her in your room! I won't have some random peasant be sleeping in one of my luxury rooms." 
"Yes sir." Bumblesworth mumbles
He walks upstairs and opens the door to his room, in his room are his decent bed,his wooden dresser,bookshelf,tons of rugs,paintings,and his closet. Though instead of a regular closet it's a curtain you pull back to reveal his clothes instead of doors,everywhere was lit candles and his walls and floors look somewhat fresh and clean.
He lays me on his bed and sighs looking at me
"Here we go.." He says nervously 
(Slight NSFW warning like KINDA lol) 
He slides my top off and is relieved that I have a bra on though he takes it off as well looking away while his face is bright red,he grabs the bandages and starts quickly wrapping it around my chest so my breasts weren't showing. He picks up a wet rag and begins cleaning off all the dirt and blood around my face and body,then putting medicine on my injuries as quickly as possible hoping I wasn't dead yet since I did have quite a few serious injuries. He puts medicine on his hand and rubs it on my cheek then presses a bandage there waiting for it to stick as he does so he looks at me and blushes a little
"She's kinda pretty.." He thinks
I slowly begin to wake up and see him hovering over me with the bandages and medicine.
"Oh you're awake! H-Hi we saw you unconscious outside and decided to take you in to see if you were alright."
"Oh well thank you though I must be going soon I don't want to be a bother..and uhm we?" I say worried but trying to stay calm hoping I wasn't kidnapped 
"Don't worry you're not! and my master helped you too."
There's a moment of silence and I can feel the warmth of his hand touching my cheek and I blush slightly 
"what kinda of medicine did you put on my injuries?"
"J-Just some homemade medicine m-master made."
"Well tell him I said thank you and thank you as well for putting the medicine on me." I smile 
After that I can clearly see him now and I freeze, he's a tall figure with wooden arms,legs,feet,and hands though instead of his head being wooden as well it was just pitch black as if nothing was there and a mask covering half of it, with the mask having a small cute smiley face on it. He's wearing what used to be fancy clothes but have aged overtime and now are a bit dirty and torn
I raise up quickly a bit frightened but get hit by the pain of the cuts and bruises
"Whoa Whoa easy now, your injuries haven't healed yet."
I lay back down looking up at him wondering so many things..
"So what's your name?"
"M-My name? It's Bumblesworth though it's kinda stupid haha..y-you?"
"Laney and nonsense I think it's cute!"
"R-Really?"
He looks down fiddling with the ends of his shirt a little 
"T-Thanks haha..no one's ever told me that before."
I smile and notice my bag across the room which appears to be opened
"Did you go through my bag?" I ask concerned 
"Wh-"
He turns around seeing it open as well
"Oh heavens no! I would never." He stutters out nervously 
I snicker
"It's ok it's not like anything important is in there anyways" 
There's a sudden knock at the door and a small goblin in a lab coat and glasses walk in
"Bumblesworth what's taking so long?"
"I-I just finished putting the medicine on her s-sir."
He looks down trying to avoid eye contact with him
"Ah great."
He turns to me surprised i'm awake
"Oh! Madam how are you doing?" 
Harricked blushes slightly and smirks
"I'm doing good at the moment but my injuries are making it hard to move,again thank you helping me it really means a lot"
"Why of course! The best treatment for a fine young lady like yourself~"
I become a bit uncomfortable as he comes closer
"Would you like to join me for dinner Madam?"
"S-Sure." I say trying my best not to sound rude
"Great now Bumblesworth prepare dinner then once it's done go back to your room and rest."
"What? Why can't he join us? I wouldn't dare go to the dinner without him."
Harricked rolls his eyes
"Fine..he can join us for dinner"
Bumblesworth looks up at me surprised since no one has ever stood up for him like that before and he felt this strange feeling in his chest.

Harricked leaves the room and Bumblesworth picks me up and carries me downstairs putting me in a chair next to Harricked 
"Thank you guys so much"
Harricked nods and smiles
Bumblesworth goes into the kitchen and makes some toast with jelly,pie,mushroom soup,and freshly squeezed orange juice, He brings everything to the table and sets up the meal for all three of us
I begin eating the mushroom soup with the wooden utensils 
"This is really good Bumblesworth!" I say as I stuff my mouth with the soup
"I tried my best, I'm glad you like it" he smiles at me
Harricked coughs a little and looks at me while I finish my soup, he seems to be a bit jealous of how much attention i'm giving Bumblesworth
"I'm sorry did I do something wrong?"
"No not at all dear I was just wondering if you have anywhere to stay."
"Not at the moment.." I mumble
"Well you can stay here for as long on you want~"
"T-Thank you." I say uncomfortably 
We sit in silence as we finish everything and Bumblesworth picks up our dishes and puts them in the bucket of water in the kitchen to wash them later. 
"Thank you for dinner"
"Ah no problem love, you should be heading to bed."
"Yeah it's quite late" I add
"BUMBLESWORTH" Harricked yells
He stumbles into the kitchen in a hurry
"Y-Yes sir?"
"Take her to your room now"
"On it"
He picks me up and carries me upstairs and as he holds me in his arms I close my eyes and lay my head on his shoulder, he looks down and blushes slightly trying not to focus on me and lays me on his bed
"Here we are"  
He prepares a blanket and pillow on the ground next to the bed and he lays down about to blow out the last candle
"Wait! Aren't you going to sleep up here?"
"Master specifically told me not to"
"Well it's up to you and i'm not gonna force you but it's quite cold" I shiver
"Well master did say to keep the guests happy so if you really want me to then alright"
I scoot over and pat the space next to me,He gets up off the floor and gets in the bed
"Well goodnight"
"Goodnight." He says with a small smile as he blows the candle out
Shortly after he falls asleep and i'm sitting there about to fall asleep aswell,suddenly his arms wrap my waist as if he's hugging me and my face turns bright red
"I wouldn't want to wake him up, it seems he works hard" I think
I lean my head back on his chest and I slowly fall asleep
To my surprise it's the best sleep I've ever gotten..
