"Well, Bugease, let's get you home," I said as I began to climb down the tree with him on my back.
"So it's painfully obvious you're not human…..what are you exactly?" I asked.
"An invectid, not an insect but not a human either." He answered. "Normally humans run away in fear, not help us," he said looking me up and down as if expecting me to drop him and run.
"Well I always wanted excitement why run from it?" I asked with a smile. He smiled back faintly and the rest of the walk was done in a comfortable silence as he rested. After an hour or so I made it home and took him upstairs.
"Hungry?" I asked as he sat down.
"A little," he murmered. I nodded and went down to make some lunch. I sighed what did a human slash bug eat anyway, I had no clue, it would be interesting to see. I sighed and just decided to make regular human food and see. I grabbed some pizza's from the fridge and set the half hour timer. I washed my hands and headed upstairs to find Bugesel oking out the window.
"I'm far from home," he said obviously sensing me enter the room.
"I can tell," I said with a giggle. He looked over his shoulder and smiled slightly at me.
"I live in the inner world, with others of my kind, there's no sunlight there, we're forsaken." he said sadly. I smiled softly laying my hand on his shoulder.
"is this the first light you've seen?" I asked.
"Yes," he answered solemly. My eyes widened, I was talking to a thing that had never seen the light of day before now, and here I was taking things like that for granted.
"Bugease, you're free to stay here as long as you wish," I whispered. He smiled at me.
"Thank you, perhaps I was wrong about humans," he said I smiled and gave his shoulders a friendly squeeze.
"If you thought we were mean, hateful, and selfish then you were," I whispered before the smell of pizza drifted into my nostrils.
"Pizza's ready…you do eat pizza…right?" I asked. He burst out laughing.
"Yes don't worry," he reassured. I smiled and we walked downstairs.
I think this was shorter than the other but I just drop it where I think leaves you wanting more, tell me if I'm right so pretty please with double chocolate covered cherries on top R&R!
