Courage did not know what to expect. One minute he was taking a nice, relaxing bath minding his own business. The next he felt like a wave of black washed over him and dragged him to an abyss. Which sort of happened.
If the "black wave" had not been a thought-to-be hallucination of a female dog.
So when Courage saw the smirking face of a certain Queen of Puddles, he carefully rubbed his eyes before opening them again. Seeing the witch that had almost had eustace and himself for dinner of course he reacted as any dog that had an oxymoron name.
He screamed. Loud.
Courage started to try to swim away but a single word kept him from doing so. A small almost voice almost as if i did not want to be heard said something.
"please don't go!" Courage stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around and saw the Queen. Not with forks and knives or a set of angler fish teeth. He noticed she looked at him in almost a pleading way almost as if she was...
Sad.
It was then Courage noticed something. Usually his lungs would be burning at this point but he noticed he could actually breath.
"I am sorry for what I did but you have to understand" her voice sounded so broken "please little doggy i-" her voice broke "I just want a friend." the Queens voice broke apart at the end. She became a sobbing mess.
Courage kept his distance. He did not know if he could trust her but the feeling in his gut just told him.
'help her.'
Deciding to bite the bullet, Courage slowly made his way back to the Queen. He nudged her gently with his nose. She looked up from her hands to see Courage with a soft smile. 'maybe if i play nice i can go. ooo the things i do for love.' he groaned internally. The Queen slowly put her arms around his much smaller body before cuddling him softly.
"My good little doggy." She whispered quietly. Minutes of waiting later Courage heard snoring. He guessed he could stay for awhile longer. He snuggled deeper in to her arms and felt satisfied when she tightened her grip around him giving him more warmth.
Yes the things he did for love were truly mind boggling.
