Fiduspawn [Tavros x Reader]

You were excited. You were really excited. Before now, you indulged in your silly little pastimes in the comfort of your own room. On occasions, your lusus would play a rowdy game of Fiduspawn with you; but that wouldn't last for long because your lusus is rather lazy . You didn't mind, mainly because your lusus cleans up your hive and what not.

This time was different, you actually had a partner to play your games with! You had met him not so far from your hive, while you were looking for one of your creatures that have escaped while you were hatching your fiduspawn eggs. That rowdy little thing flew out of your window and wandered off to who knows where, but luckily a troll with large horns and a shaggy mohawk had found it. Who knows what would’ve happened to it if he hadn’t found it? But this was about one or two sweeps ago.

You held your satchel to your side, containing all your fiduspawn eggs and cards at your side, being very careful to not crack any of their shells. A grand smile spread across your face as you approached the door to his hive and a (b/c) blush spread across your gray skin. He was pretty nice to offer his hive to play in, considering this game can get rather... messy; you appreciated that.

You knocked on the door of the hive and almost immediately you heard a crash.

“Ughh, sorry! Coming!” you heard him yell and a quizzical look painted your features. Soon after the door swung open and he was running a hand through his shaggy mohawk as if he were trying to fix it at the last minute. “Oh, you’re here!” he beamed and flashed a sharp toothed grin. You guessed he realized he seemed a little too  happy and bashfully averted his eyes and stepped out of the way. “Uhh.. you can come in if you want.” he told you with a lowered voice.

You decided not to question it and smiled. “Thanks!” you say as you walked past him and took in the surroundings. The place was pretty tidy overall save for the few shells that he has obviously tried to cover up in a hurry and what seems to be a lance peeking out from behind his couch. Everything smelled fresh and the hive seemed to be a cozy place to live in. His lusus, Tinkerbull, flew around to make some adjustments in secret.

“Uhh, you can sit on the couch..if you want.” he suggested and gestured to his new looking couch. You wondered if he used it at all? Or maybe he had just bought it? Regardless you sat on the couch and set your satchel in your lap, soon peeking inside to check if any of your eggs were cracked. Fiduspawn eggs tended to stink if they weren’t in a plush before they hatched, but you just wanted to make sure.

“Here they are!” you heard the tauros gleefully shout and pulled over a miniature chest.

You blinked and tilted your head, allowing your (h/c) locks to fall in front of your shoulders. “A chest? You must really take care of your eggs Tavros.” you giggled and could’ve swore you saw a brown blush spread across his cheeks.

“Yeah.. some people don’t really  uhh.. like them.. so I give enough care to make up for them.”

You blinked and watched as he picked up a purple egg and smiled. Something flickered in his chocolate eyes, and instantaneously you knew he had meant what he had said. Even though you had met the tauros not so long ago, something fluttered in your chest and your (b/c) blush returned. You were always a sucker for genuinely nice trolls, the fact that he was good looking to boot was a bonus.

“Uhhh ____? Is there.. something wrong?” Tavros questioned and snapped you out of your daze. Turns out you were staring.

“Oh gog I uhh.. zoned out?” you managed to stammer and attempted to change the subject. “So you wanna play now?” you asked as you tried to cool yourself off.

His eyes lingered in your direction before nodding and allowing a smile to spread across his face. He pulled out two random stuffed creatures and handed one of them to you.

“Thanks.” You said gratefully and ripped a hole into the toy and put your egg inside. Tavros did the same with his egg and soon enough you both had creatures bursting out of the plushes, completely destroying the poor adorable things.

Your eyes shown as a serpent like creature with wings flew around in delight and stretched out.

“...cool.” Tavros replied with a grin as the same creature, but of a different shade  and larger wings watched the other.

“Hehe..” you giggled sheepishly and pulled cards out of your satchel. “Do you want to go first? Or do I?” You questioned but both of you grew silent and watched as your fiduspawn flew around each other. You had an idea of what they were doing, and it definitely sparked your interest. The two soon tied their tails in a knot, and curled up around each other on the floor and soon fell asleep with content expressions on their faces.

The troll across from you looked surprised for a moment. “Uhh... I thought they were supposed to fight.. or something..” he murmured and you chuckled, earning a confused look from him.

“I think they’re flushed for each other,” you sang and his eyes widened a bit. “I think it’s cute.”

Tavros stared at the fiduspawn for a while more before lifting his gaze to you. “So it’s like....being flushed.. at first sight?” he questioned with his head tilting to the side slightly.
You nodded and smiled. “Absolutely! It’s a great feeling.” you sighed in content.

“Oh.. I know that...” he responded and shades of brown painted his face. You blinked and looked over at him. “Because... I feel flushed for you...”

Your (e/c) eyes stared into his as you processed his words.
