HAHA, guess who is currently sleep deprived~!
I've had this idea in my head for a little while now and thought that I should just type it up and hopefully get it out of my system.
Just so people know, this is an AU where Earth is also the breeding grounds for trolls and where their young are raised by their lusus and have to live along with humans.
I do not own Homestuck blah, blah, blah you all know that this craps about
God damn it, they're at it again. Can't a dude help his baby brother eat without some weird beast fight happening outside their apartment?
"C'mon Dave, open wide." Dirk cooed, bringing a small spoon holding a yellow mush towards his 7 month old brother. The baby pulled a face of discontent, obviously from the strange, scary noises outside. When Dirk put the spoon to the little dude's lips, a small amount of the food slopped onto the infants face that would dribble down his chin and slop onto his bib.
Dirk sighed, the little man hadn't been this difficult since the time he was teething, oh boy that was a loud, sleepless horror story.
Those freakish monsters outside were just getting louder with their roaring and screeching. There was a very big thump followed by a ridiculously loud cry that sounded like someone set a bunch of cats on fire.
Oh for the love of- that's it, Dirk couldn't take it anymore! With a frustrated growl, Dirk sat the spoon onto the table as he stood up from his seat and strutted towards the door, making sure to grab the broom before leaving the room. When he approached the door at the end of the hallway that led to the outside world, Dirk prepared himself just in case those strange white beasts attacked. Although they weren't often known to attack humans, you can never be too careful with aliens, especially those with sharp claws or fangs.
With a deep breath, the older Strider flung open the door and begun to swing the broom like a sword. "Alright you dumb alien freaks, piss off before I-" Dirk cut himself off when he found a giant, white crustacean like creature curled up on the top of the steps, lifeless and covered in a strange ooze he suspected to be blood.
Well fuck, this was certainly unexpected. Dirk took this opportunity to examine the strange beast through poking and prodding the carcase with the end of the broom. A small whimper was heard from the corpes which instantly made Dirk pull his broom back and positioned it like a sword in case the crab like creature was still alive and tried to take a shot at him. Nothing happened, Dirk was about to head back in and deal with the body later when he heard a rather loud whine and garbling sounds. Curiosity got the better of him so he faced to corps again for a better inspection.
Looking around, he saw nothing but once he moved to the other side, he saw that the creature was holding onto something red and…moving?
Dirk gently poked the strange red thing with the end of his broom, and as expected, the little red thing squirmed and let out a whimper, clearly not enjoying the jab. Dirk dropped the broom and tried to get a better look at the strange red thing, which involved prying it out of the dead animal-like alien's claw and holding the odd, red thing in his arms.
It was a strange little critter. Its body was bright red with 6 legs like an insect and kind of slimy but the head looked almost human besides the grey skin, small, nubby candy corn horns and tiny pointed ears. Oh god it's a troll grub.
The little critter looked up at Dirk with beady, bright red eyes. First with a look of curiosity, then frightened as it began crying; tiny, light red (almost pink) tears were welling up in its eyes.
"Hey, C'mon little guy, no need for that." Dirk said to the grub as he brought his finger to its tiny chin and stroked it. This action seemed to annoy the little alien infant as it growled and bit the human's finger…or gum it since it was just a toothless terror at the moment.
Dirk couldn't help but find that little action rather cute, "Heh, well aren't you a strange little fucker."
The grub continued to gum his finger and let out small squeaks and growls in its futile attempt to harm the being that was holding him. Dirk brought his attention back to the dead crab beast on the steps, remembering how these weird creatures looked after young trolls since fully grown trolls rarely had the capacity to take care of their young themselves.
"This must have been your guardian," Dirk said to himself. He looked back down to the bundle in his arms to see that it had stopped trying to bite him and the little bugger had tired it's self out as it let out a yawn and it's eyes became droopy. Dirk couldn't help but chuckle at its actions, "Better bring you inside then, little guy." With that, Dirk walked back into the apartment and into his kitchen where he found Dave who had knocked the baby food all over the table and smeared around his mouth.
Well…This could be an interesting.
This seemed like a good idea that the time...then again, I'm tired so that's saying a dog with a carrot for a head would seem normal or something XD
I dunno if this will ever be continued, this was just to get it out of my head but we'll see, depending on the response but for now, this is just a silly little derp idea
