A oneshot for @sunnyfrenchfry ‘s eldritch Robert au being babysat by Chase.

————————————————————

Chase had only had this babysitting gig for 20 minutes, and he already feels a headache on the way. Even if the kid is cute as shit in a weird, unsettling way. Some kids are just like that though, he can teach him to he cool later, when he wasn’t nibbling on his arm for 10 minutes straight.

Eldritch Robert

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hexxus Robert Pronge/Reader ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part 8 Of The Monster Town Series ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Somehow, this came out just as soft as the Jake chapter <3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As one of Stevens escaped humans, you knew you had to run fast and far. You see one of the others break off and run towards the shore line, towards the beautiful beach, but….you don’t follow. Some of the girls and guys run off deeper into the woods and that’s when you see it, some kind of oily tendrils slink out of the dark woods and grabs for everyone, pulling the others in one by one.

You side step them as they take everyone but you, your eyes one last time look to the beach, seeing the other woman get away, you see a man on the shore with her and he has to be better than your former master.

You run deeper into the woods, you know the woods end and a shield stands between you and freedom, a huge dome covers the whole town, hiding it from the world. When you get to it, you gasp, it’s….beautiful. The shield sparkles and glitters before you, touching it even slightly proves painful as fuck and it leaves you wiggling on the ground holding your hand, sobbing in pain.

Soon enough, you just….lay there and stare up at the moon, all this for nothing. You cry then, full of sorrow, why couldn’t your master just love you how you wished he would. But his soul didn’t know kindness. You just wanted someone to love you.

                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must fall asleep there, because when you blink your eyes open, the moon has moved in the sky…...and something is holding you down, those black tendrils. You scream but it’s muffled quickly by more of it covering your mouth. You are left spread starfish style as something comes out of the woods.

You can’t see what it is, the woods too dark and with the moon going behind clouds, you can only see so much. Something comes and kneels over you, your struggles do nothing, but whatever it is, it’s in the shape of a human, or human monster.

You blink as the moon comes out from behind a cloud, it’s not Steven, though you didn’t think it was. This person was too silent. His long hair curtains his face though, his facial hair hid more of his face, but he had very blue eyes. He leans down over you and then you see it, the tendrils are coming from his back, from him, he is it and it is him. He’s the protector, the guard dog who keeps people from getting out, though the shield does that plenty itself.

The way he just watches you, eyes roaming over your face, one of his fingers trailing gently down over your cheek, “So pretty.” His voice is rough like he never uses it, but his tone is surprisingly soft.

“The others always fight me away, scream means things at me, are you different I wonder.” he whispers.

When he uncovers your mouth, you just stare up at him and blink, he was oddly handsome for the monster he was, your old master used to say this monster was ugly and scared, but you see none of that. His hair even looks soft and touchable.

You lick your lips, your hand starting to reach for him and he flinches back, but you calmly wait, he blinks confused, maybe even distrustful, but lets you slowly reach out and caress his cheek, his beard is soft.

When his eyes flutter closed and he leans into your touch, you find yourself feeling bad for this creature, did he not get to have a human of his own? You know some of the truth of this place, you know humans are nothing more than breeding stock in a way, how it came to be this way, you have no idea, but this creature didn’t seem so bad to you.

If not for the tendrils, he would look like any normal man, “What’s your name?” you ask softly, caressing his face with both hands now.

“Robert.” he mumbles, seemingly lost in your touch.

“Do you not….get a human, are you all alone?”

You swallow thickly, because you know this is the same creature who just took the ones who escaped with you to somewhere…..if not killed them, but he just seems so…..lonely, and maybe you are just that lonely yourself.

His eyes gaze down at you, “I don’t get anything.” he growls sadly and angrily.

“Come down here.” you whisper finally.

He narrows his eyes at you, but compiles and lays his body fully on you, you sigh happily, he was warm and all around you, when you wind your arms around his back and then just settle, you sigh again quite happy indeed.

“What is this?” he mumbles, sounding happy himself, if not a bit baffled.

“It’s a hug, when two people lay down together like this it’s called hugging or snuggling….my…..my old master refused to do it.”

Those last words just make him really hold you with everything, his arms, his….tendrils, all of it and you find, you really like it, “I like this too.” he mumbles and you wonder if you found a much better master.

“Will you…..I can be your human….” you trail off as he leans up enough to look down at you, his long hair falling around both of you, “You want to be mine?”

You nod your head and he...smiles, his teeth have some sharpness to them, but he looks so soft and happy, not scary at all, you can’t help smiling back, “Can I kiss you?”

He blinks confused, “You….want to kiss me?”

You answer by leaning up and giving him a simple little soft kiss, his lips…..oh….you both suck in a breath, it was like kissing cotton candy, something sweet and tender. 

When you part he has tears in his eyes and you find you do too, who would have thought, this scary monster of the dark woods, in the forbidden zone, was actually….a sweetheart. He could have been dark and nasty as had been your fear, but he was simply….touched starved, he yearned for love same as you.
