Trevor & Bennett Fantasy AU
Fanfic about @ilovegt characters.
The Trevor and Bennett we know exist in a current reality just like the one we all live in… So, what would happen if they found themselves in a fantasy one? Where it wouldn't be so strange to encounter "Borrowers" or other fae creatures? Do you dare to join me on this journey…
A blurred shape streaks across the night sky. Barely visible in the dead of night, swift and silent. Heading straight for a campsite—if it can even be called that, since only one person can be seen in it. Behind it, a second shape follows and strikes the first. From the impact, what looks like a tiny, blurry humanoid figure plummets.
The human at the camp was about to taste the stew he was preparing for dinner when he heard the collision and the rustling of the foliage. He set the ladle down without taking his eyes off the surroundings. Alert to anything that might appear, his hand slid toward his hilt as he stood up, approaching the spot where he had detected the sound.
The rustling of several leaves, followed by a small humanoid shadow plunging down, awakened his instincts. He lunged forward with his hands outstretched, managing to catch whatever it was between his palms. His chest skidded across the ground, kicking up some dirt, and his face twisted in slight pain from the impact; however, his hands never tightened.
"Ngh…" he groaned and huffed.
The human turned over slowly. He straightened up into a sitting position. His features showed doubt and surprise, mixed with a hint of panic.
"Wh-What is…?" His hands opened slightly, as if he were holding a little bird. Just enough to see what it was, but carefully, ensuring he wouldn't hurt it or cause it to injure itself trying to escape.
To his surprise, upon opening them, he found a tiny man. Unconscious, covered in wounds and scratches. Confused, he closed his hands again. He had heard of fantastic creatures—fairies, dragons, and other kinds… However, they were so rare that he had never seen one, and he was starting to think they were mere legends or fairy tales. And now he had one right in his hands…
"Wake up, Trevor!" he told himself, getting up worriedly and heading back to where he had been.
He placed one of his changes of clothes on the ground, folded, right next to his bedroll. He settled the little man there and hesitated for a moment before treating his wounds the best he could. He set the creature's clothes aside—at least those from his torso—and bandaged him with the utmost care possible, given his size. Then he covered him with the cloak he usually wore.
"I hope that's enough…" he stated worriedly before stepping back.
Though he couldn't eat or sleep properly that night, his mind remained fixed on that little man fallen from the sky. He worried whether the treatment he had provided would be sufficient, or if closing his eyes or distracting himself for even a second might mean that person needed something.
The first light of dawn began to filter through the branches. Two rubies began to open lazily, a pained expression clouding their gaze. His hand went straight to his chest, leaning forward slightly as he felt a sharp ache. Upon making contact, he felt confused. Seeing that his wounds had been treated somewhat clumsily, he looked around, searching for someone. Agitated.
"I'm glad you're awake. Are you alright?"
His eyes darted straight toward the voice, startled. And when he saw where it was coming from, he panicked. He tried to stand up with the intention of fleeing, but failed. His ribs flared in pain, holding him back.
"E-easy, I'm not going to hurt you."
The human raised his hands and took a step back, a look of distress on his face. Not physical pain, but emotional, seeing the little one's reaction to him.
"I won't come closer if you don't want me to." The human knelt down slowly, keeping some distance. "Yesterday you fell from above the trees." He pointed upward with his finger. "You need to be careful, or you could make your injuries worse. By the way… My name is Trevor. If I can help you with anything…"
The little man watched the human's movements, never losing sight of him. He halted his attempt to leave upon realizing his body wasn't responding properly. He sighed deeply and bowed his head a little, his hands nervously clutching the cloak serving as his blanket.
Trevor lowered his hands and rested them on his legs.
"Hey… I know… you're probably terrified… I'm a complete stranger, plus there's the height difference." His tone was low and soft, highly controlled, though the effect the reaction had caused on him was slightly noticeable. "But I'm not going to do you any harm. I have some food left from yesterday's dinner… If you're hungry, I can…"
Both rubies lifted to look at the human. They returned to his hands, which squeezed the cloak in anxious fists. Thinking it over.
Finally, his expression shifted. He let out a sigh.
"My name…" he paused heavily, "is Bennett."
The human looked surprised, and he smiled with a bit of relief seeing that he had answered. Bennett noticed, and though he didn't lower his guard, he didn't get the impression that this human was a bad person either.
"Pleasure to meet you, Bennett." Trevor remained on his knees. "Would you like something to eat? I can warm up some of yesterday's dinner for you, it'll do you good to regain your strength…"
Bennett looked at him curiously, but nodded. It had been a long time since he had eaten a bite… After all, since yesterday afternoon they had been fleeing from that thing without rest. Suddenly, his eyes widened like saucers.
Trevor was pouring the food into a carved wooden cup to make it easier for Bennett to eat when he heard the shout and startled. His gaze snapped straight to Bennett, seeing him distressed and forcing himself to move despite the pain.
The human approached, set the cup aside, and gently settled the borrower back down.
"Bennett, calm down," he tried to soothe him.
"I have to go look for her… She might be hurt, or… or…"
"Hey, you're in no condition to go looking for anyone." He picked up the cup and brought it closer to him. "If you tell me what Polly looks like, I can go check the surroundings while you eat a little."
"She's my companion… an owl…" he said worriedly. "If something has happened to her… I'd never forgive myself…"
"Eat a bit, I'll go see if I can find her."
I help with a translator. Sorry if anything be strange. And thank you @ilovegt for give me the chance for do it.
