Sheltering Home: Chocolate Chip Part 4

Sheltering Home (Tavros X Reader)
Chocolate Chip
Part 4


Your eyes slowly fluttered open. You had apparently fallen asleep during the last half of the movie, with Tavros curled up on your chest. You poked the sleeping grub, giggling a bit when he grumbled at you.

"Sorry Tavie, but it's time to get up. I can't feel my legs." You explained. He chirped up at you sleepily, but didn't protest when you got up.

By now it was quite late, but from the sound of the wind it didn't seem like the storm had calmed down any. Great, now you'd just be stuck in the house. House trapped, or something.

You turned your attention back to the little grub and sighed. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm kinda hungry. What d'ya say we grab a bite to eat?" You proposed.

A happy squeak served as enough confirmation for you, sending you skipping into the kitchen to grab some food. However, the strange feeling of someone watching you made you pause.

You quickly shook it off. If there was someone in your house, Milo or Dave would have woken you up. You were just getting paranoid for no reason! ...Hopefully. You glanced around nervously, just to make sure. When no one suddenly appeared, you continued on your merry quest for food.

As soon as you left the room, a strange girl appeared on the couch next to Tavros, making the poor grub fall over with a squeak. The girl sighed and righted him.

"Tav, you're such a clutz. Y'know time's running out for you, right? I mean, I can only let you stay here for so long." She murmured.

The grub's eyes widened. Sure, he knew the Witch had put him on a time limit, but was it really so close to being over? How was he supposed to get you to kiss him? He just didn't operate like that!

He squeaks of protest made the Witch sigh. "I know, I know, it's grossly unfair, it'll be super embarrassing, blah blah. But you've got to man up sometime. Just a little?" She glanced towards the kitchen and rolled her eyes.

"Alright, I'll give you some help. But this is my last favor. I've already given you more help than I should have." She agreed.

Tavros screed in joy and nuzzled the strange Witch's hand, earning a soft giggle from her. "Shh, you still have to win her over. I'm just making sure you're not going to look like a total loser in front of her. Now come on, let's get to work!"
