Grub Handler: Tavros Nitram

You stared at the Grub, who looked up at you. "Tavros?" He squeaked. Your mouth dropped open. 'WHAT. THE. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-' You sighed. Your eye twitched as you both had a little staring contest. Tavros blinked first, hiccuping a little. "Aww...!" You giggled. He wriggled in your hold, dropping to your lap. He crawled around the couch, his large horns hitting the back a lot. 'How can something so small carry... those?!' You stared at his horns in wonder. He started climbing off of the couch, but fell halfway down. "Tavros?!" You gasped. He almost landed on his head, but was stopped by his horns. Oh dear Lord you nearly laughed. He started squirming and thrashing, trying to get the tips of his horns unstuck. You snickered, pulling the poor Grub off of the floor. He squeaked, as if thanking you, as you put him on the ground.


Tavros' phone buzzed while he was inspecting one of his plushies. You picked up the phone.

AT: vRISKA NO! gOD, uH, dAMMIT, >:I

You shut off Tav's phone. "Ohmanohmanohman. What do I DO?!" You did a double facepalm, setting your elbows on your knees. Tavros started crawling back up your leg, squeaking curiously. You looked at him, eyebrows furrowed. You put him back in the basket, and covered him with the blanket. "Stay here, Tavros. I'll be right back." You jogged up to Tavros' room, looking around for anything that could keep him busy while Vriska was here. You spotted all of his stuffed toys. 'That should keep him busy for a while.'


"[NAME!] WHERE ARE YOU?!"  You heard Vriska shout. You froze. "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-" You hissed, hands turning into tight fists. You started racing down the stairs. "Hey... what's this baske- WHAT THE?!" 'Oh fuck.' You jumped down the last few stairs and saw Tavros sitting on Vriska's face. He pulled the Grub off. "What the hell?! ...TAVROS?!" The Grub squealed and squirmed, apparently not liking Vriska. 'I don't blame him right now...' "Hi Vriska..." You laughed sheepishly. She just looked at you with a face that said: "what-in-the-name-of-everything-holy-happened-here?" You sighed, sitting down on the couch. Vriska sat next to you, holding Tavros in her lap. He started wriggling more, and crying louder. "Give him to me!" You took Tavros from Vriska. He immedietly calmed down, making Vriska stare in shock. You sighed. "Here's what happened..."


Vriska stared at you. "Really? He just appeared in a basket?" You nodded tiredly. "I just wish he would tu-URN!" You ran for Tavros, who was climbing a wall, as he fell off of it. You caught him before he could hit the floor. You held him to you as you sat on the floor. He put his front and middle legs on your chest, looking up at you as he cried. "As I was saying: I wish he would turn back soon... I miss my Tav." You looked at the wall sadly. You heard Vriska sigh and leave. "I'll see ya later, [Name]. I don't think I can handle this. But, we'll have our girls' day out another time, 'kay?" You nodded, hearing her sigh again and leave.


You leaned agains the wall closest to you, and stared out of the window on the opposite side of the room. You heard Tavros stop crying. He squeaked curiously, wondering why you were just sitting there. He started climbing up our shoulder and onto your head. You were so lost in your thoughts that you didn't notice. Suddenly, Tavros' head appeared in your line of sight, making you jump. "Boo!" He squealed, squealing in laughter at your shocked expression. After a few seconds, your face bursted into a large grin and you laughed, plucking Tavros off of your head and holding him at eye level. He seemed overjoyed now that his caretaker was laughing and smiling again. You set him in your lap and rubbed his back, making him purr.


He suddenly started glowing. He screeched in fear, staring up at you with wide brown eyes. "What the-?!" A bright light flashed, blinding you for a second. When you could see, you saw Tavros sitting in your lap, blinking stupidly. "Tavros!" You hugged him. "[N-Name]? W-what happe- Why am I naked?" You let go of him and looked down, only to look right back up. Your eyes widened as your face burned brightly. You pressed your lips into a firm line. "I...I don't know."


##EXTENDED ENDING##

"[Name]?" "Yeah, Tav?" He blushed heavily. "I'm gonna, uh, need help putting my pants on." Cue you having a nosebleed.


##EXTENDED EXTENDED ENDING##


Tavros was, now, in clothes and in his wheelchair. You thought for a second. "Hey Tav?" "Uh, yeah [Name]?" You looked him straight in the eyes, a serious look on your face. "[Name]...?" You took a deep breath. "Let's have a Grub." Tavros stared at you, a brown blush spreading across his face. "Uh...!" Cue Tavros having a nosebleed and passing out. You stared at him dumbly. "...I'll ask him later."
