FTO Shorts and Ships

Maybe he isn't so bad...

Viper was sweeping while Kay was in the kitchen and Alex was at the table."Okay,is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Uh,I don't think so! Also,I wanted to ask,do you wanna go on another picnic? We can do it on the beach near here!" Viper thought for a moment before sighing."Alright,fine." Kay grinned at him."Yay! I'll see you around 4 pm then,okay? Bye!!" Kay said before running out."...she really likes you," Alex said."Yeah.She does."

2 hours later...

Viper had taken all his cleaning gear off and was standing on the beach,waiting for Kay...oddly she wasn't already there."Don't mess this up Viper." Jasper hissed."Yeah yeah I won't..I mean she's worth being nice to,unlike some people."

"Is someone catching-"

"No,I-" Viper cut himself off when he heard someone crying and feet on the sand.He turned to look in the direction it was coming from before Kay basically ran into him,dropping the picnic basket and hugging him,crying into his shoulder."I- Kay? What happened?"

"I-I-" Whatever Kay said,Viper couldn't understand since it was muffled and just a jumbled mess.Viper sighed."Hey- Uh,could you relax..?" ...he wasn't good at this.Kay just coincidentally sobbed harder.Viper internally groaned.He had zero clue what to do,and she obviously wasn't calming down anytime soon."Hey...uh..how about we sit down? Once you calm down we can talk and such.." Kay reluctantly nodded as the 2 of them sat down,Kay still in his arms.Kay was still crying for a bit longer before she got herself together.By now Allumos had come by to "pick up Viper",and was being the fatherly figure he was by spying on them in a way- So was Lo'pho.

"So...wanna tell me what's wrong?" Viper asked,letting her go."I- I was walking b-back to the P-Protectors from my b-bakery when th-this guy just came out of n-nowhere and started bullying and harassing me..!" Viper didn't know what to say."Well...uh...if he comes messing with you again,just come find me,alright?" Viper thought that was probably the best thing to say out of the options he had in his head.Kay nodded and sniffled a little,hugging him again,to which Viper just awkwardly hugged back before seeing Allumos and Lo'pho."Uhh...I think it's time for me to go."

"O-Okay! I'll clean up,y-you can go ahead."

"You sure?-"

"Uh-huh!" Viper nodded and got up,walking over to Lo'pho and Allumos."...maybe you aren't so bad." Lo'pho said quietly."Keep this between us,cat,or your dead." Viper hissed."I take it back."

"Now,now,no need for death threats.But I gotta say Viper,that was very nice of you." Viper sighed."Like I said,keep this between us 3."

"Fine,fine.."
