Wally Darling x Plushie reader one-shot

Just a little scenario from my book;

Wally spends the night at your house when it rains, and it is here you learn sleep doesn't come naturally to him. Literally.

Note: I've read somewhere [or at least suspect] that Wally doesn't sleep. I like to think it's because he doesn't know how, but I'm probably wrong-

"Gosh... it's raining cats and dogs out there."

You muttered to yourself, watching from your window as heavy rain pelted against the landscape. Thankfully the rainfall wasn't hard enough to be torrential in anyway, but just enough to not only drench someone entirely, but enough to make the mud and rocks around your home slippery. On top of that, the dark storm clouds overhead had obscured the moon's light, casting the forest in near complete darkness.

While you weren't a stranger to thunderstorms, you weren't used to seeing such a gloomy sight in an otherwise bright and colorful scenery.

"Cats and dogs?"

A calm voice drawled behind you, and you looked over your shoulder to see Wally approaching slowly. His head was tilted, peering out the window you stood in front of, confusion evident in his eyes. "...But I don't see any cats or dogs out there..."

"It's just a metaphor, silly. It means it's raining really hard." You chuckled softly turning to fully face him, your smile fading to a look of curious concern. "I'm glad I managed to find you in time. What were you doing so far away from the neighborhood anyway?"

"Ha ha," Wally gave a shy, monotonous laugh and unconsciously itched behind his head looking to his feet. "I was trying to look for a new muse to paint... I didn't know the woods were so deep." His smile dimmed subtly, his face now showing concern. "I hope home isn't too worried."

"Oh, don't worry! Tomorrow when the storm clears, we'll explain what happened!" You assured cheerfully, placing a paw on his head. "I'm sure he'll understand."

He looked up, his usual drowsy smile widening with warmth. "Thank you again for letting me stay the night, fluffy neighbor."

"Oh, its no trouble! I love a good sleepover!" You patted his head lightly, careful not to mess up his pompadour. "Are you comfy with my PJs though?"

Wally looks down at the (color) night shirt you had offered him. It hung loosely on his small body, looking like more of a gown than a shirt. "A tad big." He spread his arms so he can see the (color) (shape) on the chest. "But I like it."

You smiled with relief and motioned you to follow him. "Come on, let's get to bed."

As you walked to your bedroom, Wally stood for a moment before following you.

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

"Do you have enough room, Wally?" You scooted over slightly. Even though the bed was just big enough for two, Wally was pressed quite closely into your side. "Are you sure you don't want me to sleep on the couch?"

"No, I like this better. You're really fuzzy and warm. Like Barnaby." He answered, pressing himself into you. "And you smell nice."

"Oh..!" You were mildly taken aback by the bluntness of Wally's reply, but chose to view it positively. "Thank you... well then... goodnight, Wally."

"Goodnight, (Name)."

You sighed softly, shutting your eyes letting yourself succumb to--

"...I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping..."

Your eyes opened, as you heard a soft whispering break the relatively quiet atmosphere. It was so soft you nearly thought you were hearing things, but straining your ears over the patter of rain, you managed to make out the words yet again.

"...I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping..."

You blinked a couple times. Was... this a joke of some sort?

"Erm... Wally?"

"Yes?" He answered after a pause.

"Uhm... what... what're you doing?" It was a silly question, but you only asked for assurance.

"I'm... sleeping...?" He answered, though it sounded just as uncertain as you did.

"Ah. Uhm... Wally, you kinda have to be quiet to... sleep." You said somewhat slowly, hoping you wouldn't offend.

"Oh. Okay." He replied quietly. "My bad."

"It's okay, neighbor." You assured, closing your eyes again. "Goodnight."

"...goodnight."

~~~~~~~[30 minutes later]~~~~~~~

"(Name)...?"

Your ears flicked as you were awoken from the semi-deep sleeping trance at that familiar whisper. Only it wasn't on your one side.

It was in front of you.

"Are you awake?"

You opened your eyes, and was startled at the pair of illuminating white sclera over you.

You then came to realize he was laying on your belly.

"Er... now I am." You replied, blinking a few times as the (shape) marking on your head lit up a soft (color) glow.

Once the room was lit, you saw his eyelids were slanted into a modest expression and his smile, while still there, was much less prominent.

He looked... troubled.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

He blinked, hesitant.

"...I can't sleep."

"Oh? What's got you up?" You sat up, feeling a sense of concern. "Are you not comfy? You're not too hot? Too cold?"

This eyes darted to the side for a moment then back to yours. "No... I can't sleep." He emphasized the word, playing with a strand of your fur in his fingers.

You squinted, confused. You processed his words, lifting your brow. "You... Can't sleep...?"

"No... I... don't... sleep." He said it slowly, lowering his gaze to his hands, seemingly embarrassed to admit such a thing.

"A-Ah." You uttered. It was quite a hard hitting statement, since you've never heard of such a thing. "Well then... you can just... lay on my belly and try to relax."

Wally hummed, resting his cheek on your belly. "Like this?"

"Yup!" You gently patted his head with one paw, while wrapping your arm around his back with the other, putting him in a soft hug. "Now... Just close your eyes and... try to clear your mind." You advised, staring up at the ceiling. "Try to focus on listening to the sound of the rain on the roof... it's usually really soothing."

You went quiet for a moment, listening to the light pitter-patter of rain yourself, turning your head to the window by your bed, watching the still steady rainfall beating down on the forests around your house.

"Is that helping, Wally?"

"A little." Came Wally's quiet reply. "But I like the sound of your voice better."

"Oh!" That gave you an idea. "Why don't I sing for you?"

You felt Wally nod, and you turned your head to look back up at your ceiling wracking your head for a lullaby.

You grinned as one came to mind.

You cleared your throat softly, and with a deep breath, you sang softly;

Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, Lull'd by the moonlight have all passed away...

Your soft, slow singing filled your room, and the soft pattering of the rainfall complementing the calm atmosphere as the dim (color) light started to fade to other colors, cycling between teal, blues, red, purples and reds, filling the room with a comfortable light.

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,

List while I woo thee with soft melody;

Gone are the cares of life's busy throng...

As you sang, you idly caressed Wally's head, your other paw rubbing in circles on his back.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me...

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me...

You trailed off as you squinted. "...I... forgot the other words." You pouted slightly. "I'll have to ask Barnaby for the rest of the song."

"Was that good though?" You looked down at the small puppet on your tum.

You smiled. "That's good."

You let out a small sigh, laying back as you felt the slow rise and fall of his chest on your tum, hearing the faintest of snores emanating from him.

"Goodnight, Wally."

Reader’s a bunny plush here due to the poll, but if you’d like to be another animal, the asks are open.

but I left it ambiguous in the book so it’s easier to visualize yourself.

This is Safety. My favorite lil comfort buddy. I haven’t really talked about Safety on here yet. But he’s one of my best anxiety soothers. I often bring him along in a tote bag almost everywhere I go (no shame 😌). He’s my healing buddy & he & I feel everything together. I’ve been feeling pretty anxious, nauseous, & shitty today, so it’s gonna be a Safety cuddle night ❤️‍🩹

I think that one of the things I like about Liushen is how on Shen Qingqiu's end, that's his relationship with the least amount of baggage, and on Liu Qingge's end, it's got the most.

Shen Qingqiu: good old reliable Liu-shidi!

Liu Qingge: we were enemies for decades, I thought you tried to kill me, you saved my life, now I'm questioning everything I ever thought I knew about you, it's like you're a completely different person, or maybe I just never understood what was really going on, who are we to one another now, I wouldn't dare to dream of kissing you under the moonlight except maybe I would

*throws this out and falls into angsty emo-ness*

Here is my flower woman, her name is Bloom.

I tried something out with this drawing so good for me. She’s a lil’ comfort buddy that’s like 10ft tall and works at the daycare and sometimes at the theater. She loves hugs and cuddles cause I love hugs and cuddles and desperately crave them

I’m very tired now so I’ma try and take a nap assuming I don’t go and try and draw angst for her.

Big Brother Maul had no chance to escape, poor boy! Little Soka’s attack was way too powerful and efficient💪🏻😌

[ciderjacks]

despite Laios low self esteem making him think that if he’d been eaten, Chilchuck and Marcille wouldn’t have helped Falin,

theres a small part of me that thinks the reason Chilchuck stayed with the party and went back in the dungeon in the first place was because he didn’t want to leave Laios alone. That Laios was moreso the reason he stayed.

They really did say "Buck needs to find his footing in dating men and Eddie has commitment issues, they need to work those out before they can be together"

A companion’s work is never done.

I know Wally isn’t the kind to be sulky, but bare with me.

In this scenario, Wally’s troubled with something, or feeling down in general. Palette isn’t having any of that.

Sometimes it’s hard to put on a brave/smiling face in tough situations, and we all need someone to lean on.

I give a shout-out to our fuzzy companions.

—chris doesn't come back au is finally here ya'll!! not only is this the longest fic i've ever written, but it's also my 200th buddie fic!! thank you to everyone who's encouraged me on this journey; can't wait to take ya'll on this angst fest 🫶🏻

rated: e | words: 110k | ch. 14/14 | read on ao3

summary:

Christopher was gone, missing.

It wasn’t anyone’s fault, but as Eddie watched the man he loved break right in front of him, he knew Buck blamed himself, that the guilt was already eating him alive.

Eddie had the urge to be in two places at once, wanting to comfort Buck, but needing to find his son. Chris was his whole world; Buck had stepped right into it.

They didn’t find Chris that night, or the next. He was gone, swept away with the storm. Some things floated back to shore, while others, well—they were lost forever.

—or—

After the tsunami, Christopher goes missing. He doesn’t come back, at least, not right away. This is NOT mcd.

THIS FIC IS COMPLETE!
