Toxic Caveman

Chapter 2: The Beast Known...

The Beast Known As Toxic
Mars Year 3000

"I'm... I'm...your mate?" Nate began to laugh and then slap his knee with tears streaming down his face. "You're a funny one, beast."

"Toxic. And how do you say, I'm being...serious?"

"You just did. And beast I'm to let you down man but I'm straight. Flattered but straight." Nate says but right then and there his bottom part of his body started to tingle. Nah, it was him having to lean on these crutches for so long and him running on his bad leg. Yep that had to be it!

"Gregeddonson, you have been hurt? I will attend to the wound." Toxic said after a minute of sniffing the air and then immediately looked down at Nate's leg and Nate could have sworn his eyes went fully black right that second. Nate didn't understand his freak out until he looked down and saw the wound had reopened and blood was oozing down his feet over his grey Nike tennis shoes.

"God dang it! Those were new shoes!" Then Nate looked down at the Beast and saw he was barefoot and he threw up his hands in frustration. "Of course you wouldn't get it!" The beast known as Toxic finally took a step towards Nate since he rescued him and Nate took one back. "I'm sorry, it's just you're humongous and I don't know what you'll do to me." Toxic's face contorted into one of hurt he thinks and Nate immediately felt bad but he didn't know him.

"You have nothing to fear, human, you're my Gregeddonson, my mate. I will never harm you." Toxic says while he put one of his huge paws, I mean hand over his heart. He looked sincere but you never know these days and especially on a foreign planet that you've never been to before.

"I'll trust you for now. But if you do anything weird I'm gonna...I'm gonna kick your ass!" Nate then looked him up and down and humphed out a noise and turned on his heel. Toxic immediately let out a boisterous laugh and it bellowed across the forest floor making the ground shake almost knocking Nate off balance.

"My Gregeddonson is hilarious! Tell me more of what you'll do, little one?!" Toxic's smile covered his whole face making his features stand out even more making him look like a modeled beast. Nate shook his head and was ready to take a step but a sharp pain shot up his leg and that's when the Toxic beast man picked him up and strapped him over his shoulder like a caveman. "I will take you to my hut now and fix your leg. There we will get to know each other."

"Is there food there big man?" Nate says and then pinches Toxic's buttcheek. Hey he might be straight but when another man flops you over his shoulder it's customary to pinch the cheeks or so he has heard.

"Yes Gregeddonson there is food there. All you can eat. If not I will go out and catch you some food!"

"Can you please stop calling me you're Gre-gadda- something."

"No because you're my Gregeddonson my mate I shall call you so."

"This is going to be the longest night of my life!"

"Hmmm...I like what you've done with the place." Nate said all the while looking at the dead animal heads that hung on the cave's walls and the wool that was strewn everywhere like it was decorative curtains and apparently a soft bed, bedding. There was even a little hut oven in the cave to cook the meat at. I guess so he wouldn't have to cook outside. There was even wool clothing and some type of animal skin hung up in the shape of a shirt or hoodie type with wool pants next to it hung up.

"I'm glad you like it." Toxic then went to some man made mud shelf and grabbed what looked like fish and threw it in the cave oven. "I'll cook while I attend to your wounds. Come." Toxic led him to a back cave room and this part had a whole with water in it. It was surprisingly clean since it was typically made like a water fountain draining the water as we speak and replenishing it.
