《Bittersweet ~Popee X Reader~》11 ~ No Practice Today

I slowly woke up, rubbing my eyes while sitting up. Popee was still asleep, his arm loosely across my lap. I carefully got out of bed and started taking my clothes off to check on the bandages.

My head wasn't hurting at all so far, I looked over the bandages on my arms, contemplating if I should clean the cuts and rebandage them. I decided to just take them off entirely, figuring that they would be healed by now.

Surely enough they were healed but faint scars and scabs. I put the bandages in a bin that was in the corner of the tent. I got up and got some clean clothes from my backpack. I knew I had to go into town sometime to get more.

As I finished changing, I heard the bed shuffle slightly. "Y/N? Are you okay? Do you still hurt?" Popee made his way out of bed and infront of me, checking over my arms then looking me directly in my eyes with worry clear in his dark blue eyes.

"Popee, I'm fine" I softly laughed holding onto his arms gently. "My head doesn't hurt, my wounds are basically healed, I just woke up early is all." I reassured him, holding his hand to my cheek. Popee sighed, closing his eyes with slight nod.

I was gazing at Popee while he was trying to get Keda do a trick properly. The more tiny slip ups, the more Popee yelled at him. He got louder each time, his face was in a constant scowl.

"IT'S NOT THAT HARD YOU STUPID FUCKING DOG, IT'S THE EASIEST THING I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TEACH YOU!" Popee yelled at the poor animal. Keda flinched, his mask dropped to a scared but sad mask.

I walked up to Popee and touched his shoulder gently "Popee-" he swiftly turned around towards me, his face full of clear anguish. "WHAT?!" He yelled then stopped, his face dropped immediately and hugged me quickly. "Shit, I'm so sorry for yelling, I didn't realize it was you. Fuck I'm so sorry." Popee started immediately apologizing, I was slightly stunned but hugged back slowly.

Memories from the orphanage flashed through my mind, painful and sad memories. "I-...It's okay, I understand but can we...just go back to the tent for today? You don't seem...okay." I was freezing between sentences, I softly shook my head and brought Popee's head back to in front of me, looking into his eyes.

Popee nodded his head slightly and started walking back to the tent, as he passed by he whispered "tell Keda i'm sorry." I turn around as he enters the tent then look back at Keda who was slowly stepping off of a training mechanism.

I walked up to the purple dog and gave him a small hug "He said he's sorry, it'll be okay, just try to not take what he said seriously." I backed up and gave him a small smile. I felt bad for him. Keda looked at me with a nod as his mask dropped to a sad smile as he walked off to his tent.

I walked back to the tent to see Popee already in regular clothes with his hair a mess and his head in his hands. He looked like a huge stress filled mess. I sat down next to him and gently rubbed his back "Popee, whats going on love?" I asked him looking at his face from the side. He looked like he was going to cry or already was slightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry. I couldn't catch you in time. I shouldn't have let him make you do that trick so soon. I should've been better. I let you get hurt, I-" I stopped him mid-sentence. Gently pulling his head up to my face with my hands cupping his cheeks.

"Popee..bunny, listen to me it's okay, it wasn't your fault. Look at me, I'm fine now. I'm all healed, I feel fine. You couldn't have done anything, I should've been more careful." I gave him a small smile, his eyes were teary with small tears already leaking down his face.

He hugged me, burying his face into my collarbone. I hugged him back, rubbing his back up and down gently. I slowly rocked us back n forth to help calm him down, he was softly crying into me. I didn't mind, he needed the comfort and I was happy to help him. "Everything is okay bunny.." I whispered to him softly, kissing the top of his messy blonde head.

He soon stopped crying and laid down, taking me down with him gently. I cuddled into Popee's chest closely while pulling the blankets over our bodies.

"I love you Y/N, so much."

"I love you too Popee, always bunny."

We fell asleep in each other's grasps.
