EJ POV:
Finally. They were mine. Y/N and I were now a thing, I guess. Since we made out in the woods. I was lying on the ground next to them, I had taken off my hoodie for them to sit on so their clothes wouldn't get dirty.
They sat up cross-legged as I had my arms loosely wrapped around their waist. They'd stroke my hair and touch my face, which I liked. I liked it a lot. Up until I had met them, I hadn't gotten much physical contact from anyone. Even before that cult fucked me over, probably got a hug or two whenever I saw my mum and that was it for me.
I miss my family. But now I have (Y/N), they're all I need. "I like it when you're like this. You're so gentle." They said. I blushed a little, unsure of how to respond. "I... um... do you like Bob Marley?" They raised a brow and chuckled, "Sure. Yeah, I like him well enough. I don't listen to him very often, though. However, I can appreciate how his music kinda changed culture as we know it today."
I was about to continue talking about my love for Bob Marleys music when I heard some rustling in the bushes. (Y/N) must've heard it too because the smile on their face dropped and morphed into an expression of anxiety and curiosity. I knew it was probably nothing I couldn't handle, but I sat up anyway in case I'd have to protect them.
Emerging from the bushes was none other than my old friend. Seedeater! "Ay! Seedeater! How you doing, buddy?" I said as I stood up to go pet his mane. (Y/N) looked up at me in curiosity as I greeted him. "Hey, I saved a kidney for you, man. Here you go." I took a kidney from my pocket, and he took it quickly, like a dog would take a treat. "Jack. What is that?" I heard behind me.
"Oh yeah, this is my bud, Seedeater. I'm not entirely sure what it is, so I just refer to him as a cryptic." I smiled at (Y/N). They stood up and came closer. But that's when I realised that Seedeater would probably eat them because they were human. "I wouldn't get too close if I were you. He eats humans. Not as controlled as me." I warned (Y/N). "Then how come he hasn't eaten me yet or at least tried?" They pointed out.
Actually, that's a really good point. How come he hasn't tried harming them? Usually, when he sees humans, he goes absolutely savage and devours them. I just put it down to him, knowing (Y/N) is with me. Friend, not food, I figured. I shrugged and said, "I dunno. He's a bit odd, I guess."
(Y/N) came even closer and even placed their hand on his head, stroking it a little. I watched and smiled, knowing that perhaps they were the one after all.
(Y/N) POV:
I petted the creature that EJ referred to Seedeater. Although it was a giant, man-eating monster, I'll be honest. He's kind of cute. Like a really big dog. Its black eyes looked at me. I was unsure what to do, and I got the sense that it felt the same way. "He seems to like you enough." EJ said to me. I leaned into him a little, and he placed his arm around me. This made me blush a little.
The creature looked at me with its black empty eyes and let out a huff. It stepped back a little, then looked up at EJ, as did I. "He's unsure about you. This is probably the first time he's seen me have a romantic partner." Jack said, letting out a chuckle. I blushed and flicked my wrists when he said this.
He just referred to me as a lover! This made me very happy. I can't remember the last time I had a partner. "You're so adorable when you do that thing with your hands. It's almost like you're kicking your feet but with your arms." I nodded at this comment, still giddy. Suddenly, I just hugged him. Very tightly.
I lifted him up and gave him a little spin as I giggled before setting him down again. He just gave me a startled look. "Fucking Christ, how are you so strong. What the fuck?" We just both burst out laughing. Seedeater nudged him with his beak. "Don't worry, Buddy, I haven't forgotten about you, dude." EJ said, patting him on the head.
I looked up at the sky and noticed it was starting to get dark. The sunset through the canopy of the trees did look very beautiful. "Perhaps we should start heading back. Before it gets too dark. I have to make a start on dinner anyway." Jack reached out and took my hand as we started making our way back to the mansion.
Seedeater accompanied us on our stroll, "Oh, so does he come back with us?"
"No, he just lives in the woods."
"Fair enough. That makes sense."
"Yeah, no, he tends not to get too close to the mansion. I mean, there is a whole barrier around it, so entities like him can't enter. After all, we do have humans residing at the manour."
"That also makes sense. And explains a lot."Eventually, we got to the mansion, I turned around once I stepped onto the porch, and he just dissappeard. He probably didn't want to stick around longer than he needed to.
We entered the mansion together, I went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner. Tonight, I was going to make fajitas. EJ kept me company in the kitchen. He leant down to me and gave me a peck on the head as I cooked. "What the fuck?" I heard someone mutter behind us. It was Toby.
We both snapped around and faced him. "Are you guys a thing now or something? Officially?" He said. I'm guessing he just wanted some tea. "Yeah, I guess we are." I replied with a small smile.
He gave us a weird look before remarking, "I mean everyone around here has been shipping you both, we saw it from a mile away and all, however I have to ask..."
"What?"
"Well, regarding the whole... size difference..." I could see where this was going, and so could EJ. "Toby. Shut up."There was a pause. When I say the silence was loud, I mean it. "Does it hurt?"
"Ok, get out."
"What! I didn't do anything wrong." He said with a cheeky smile. This made me snicker and chuckle. "We haven't even done anything yet!" Jack then shot me a look. He had his mask on, but I could tell he was blushing like mad under it. Flustered.He eventually did shove Toby out of the kitchen. And I finished preparing the fajitas. They were very tasty.
