fantasticbeasts_kinkmeme | Prompt Post #2

ROUND 2

Seeing as we've reached 4,000 comments in Round 1, it's time to make a new one. Same (lack of) rules apply. Gentle reminder to everyone to refrain from posting extremely long prompts, though. While no word limit will be imposed, take note that it is very unlikely for someone to fulfill your prompt if your prompt alone is already several paragraphs long and containing a number of specifications.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
-(01/14/2016) We now have a TRADING POST where you can exchange fills with people.
-The prompt freeze is over! You may resume posting prompts. The next freeze is scheduled on February 8, 12:00 AM (PST) or if this round reaches 4,000 comments; whichever comes first.
-Due to popular demand, we now have our first couple of rules!
RULE #1: No prompt must exceed 250 words. Any prompt that exceeds that WILL be screened.
RULE #2: Please state RPF in the subject line if your prompt involves real people.
RULE #3: No kinkshaming.

“Here.” Newt held out a pill bug. “They eat this…” He dropped it down onto Percy’s hands, and the little bowtruckle grabbed it, munching away happily.

“See?” Newt asked softly. “Not bad, huh?”
“No…” Percy agreed. “Thank you ever so much…” He waited for Newt to take the bowtruckle away. Instead, Newt placed it on Percy’s shoulder. “Now, you can come and meet the rest, and Pickett can keep you safe.”
“Thank you Newt.” Percy said quickly, then twisted to look at the bowtruckle. “Thank you Pickett.”

Newt smiled at him.
“Okay, now when we’re going into the case, you have to stay with me, okay? None of the creatures want to hurt you, but some of them are scared of strangers.”

Percy nodded, taking the hand that Newt offered towards him, ignoring how Theseus was muttering behind him. Newt paused, then picked Percy up, and swung him so that he was giving Percy a piggy back.
“Hold on tight!”
Percy did so, looking around in wonder as they climbed down a ladder into a beautiful room full of books and boxes and bottles. He tried to work out what was said on them, but they were climbing down too quickly. The others followed, and soon all of them were at the bottom of the ladder.

Newt gently put him down, and walked with him to a mound of shiny things. There was a little creature inside it, that looked just like the pastry from earlier
“’s that a Niffler?” He asked, and Newt beamed.
“It is. This is Niff, Niff, this is Percy.”
“Hello Niff…”

“Nifflers like cuddles.” Newt told him, and picked Niff up, handing him over to Percy. Percy patted him gently, amazed at how soft his fur was, and then he wrapped his arms around the little creature to cuddle it. It was warm and soft, and even though Percy knew that at six he was too old for teddies he still wished he could keep Niff in his arms for a little longer.

“Niff really likes seeing all of my other creatures. Do you think you can carry him for me so I can carry the food?” Newt asked him.
Percy nodded quickly, excited to get to be helpful and pleased he could hold on to Niff for a little longer.
“Thank you Percy.”

There were lots and lots of creatures in the suitcase. The occamy were pretty from a distance, and the Erumpet was the biggest thing that Percy had ever seen. He walked around in wide eyed awe, Tina and Queenie staying close to him. The fwooper laid pretty eggs, and the diricrawls nuzzled at his feet enthusiastically until he reached down to pat them, at which point they’d disappear and then run back to his feet. The mooncalves were very cute and cuddly, and they liked nuzzling Percy’s hair. That made him giggle, and he froze, worried he would be in trouble for being too loud. The grownups were being very kind letting him see the creatures, he shouldn’t misbehave. He cuddled Niff tighter, then flinched and nearly dropped him when Niff squeaked in discomfort.
“You got a lovely laugh kid.” That was Jacob, who looked down at him with sad eyes. Percy smiled and mumbled a thank you, then yawned. It was getting late, but he didn’t want to stop seeing all these wonderful things. He couldn’t wait to get home and tell Georgia all about them. She was only little, but she liked stories, so he talked to her when he could.

“You need to sleep Percy.” Tina said, and she smiled. He nodded, looking down at Niff sadly. It was definitely past his bed time, and he’d be in trouble if Pa found out that he was still awake.

“Do I have to go home now?”
“No.” That was Theseus, and he sat on the floor in front of Percy, holding his gaze with eyes that looked somehow angry. “You don’t have to go home.” He paused, then reached up and pulled Percy against his chest. For a second Percy was tense, but then the relaxed into the cuddle. “You’re safe now. I am not going to let anyone hurt you, you hear me?” Theseus was angry, but Percy was sure he wasn’t angry with him. That thought felt like a charm, protecting him. Theseus was keeping him safe, in his grumpy way.
Percy nodded, and Theseus breathed out slowly.
“Thanks kid.” Theseus ruffled his hair and let him go.

Newt cleared his throat, and pointed to a small egg shape hanging from a tree branch. The egg was full of a pretty monkey with long white fur and strange blue eyes.
“This is Dougal. He’s a demiguise, and he helps look after things for me. He’s going to keep an eye on you tonight, and we’re just going to all sleep here…” He pointed around. “I didn’t make a bed for humans here, but it’s comfy on the floor.”
“O…okay?” Percy answered, a little nervous but letting Newt lift him into the egg. It was a really comfy shape now that he was in it, and Niff snuggled closer.

Queenie walked over, reaching into her bag, and pulled out two things. She held out one, which looked like a kitten, only it was purple and had a wide neck.
“That’s a nundu.” Newt explained. “I’ve got one but it’s a bit too dangerous for you to meet yet. When you’re older you can.”
“Thank you.” Percy said, staring at the plushie in wonder.
“It’s for you.” Queenie told him. “I made it special. And this…” She held out a tiny niffler plushie, which fitted on the palm of her hand. It looked around and tilted its head at him. “This is small enough that when you grow up, you can keep it on your desk at work…”
“Thank you.” Percy said seriously. He wasn’t sure he could – Pa would be furious at him even having a plushie, let alone showing it off when he was meant to be a grown up, but it was a nice thought.

Queenie smiled, and turned to Tina, who picked a book off the floor.
“Would you like a bedtime story?”
Cautiously, Percy nodded, and he listened as Tina began to read to him. He yawned and snuggled into the nest, giggling as Niff poked the nundu plushie. It was a good story, about heroes.

He was drifting off to sleep when Theseus approached, conjuring a red and yellow blanket which he placed over Percy, tucking him in.
“You’re going to grow up to be a hero.” Theseus promised him, and he said it with such sincerity that Percy felt warm.
“You are.” Credence agreed, and then the adults laid down.

Percy felt protected, surrounded by so many people who would keep him safe. He slept peacefully, occasionally opening his eyes to see more of the creatures. They were laying between the grown ups, and Percy thought that they might be keeping him safe as well.

Niff was cuddled against his chest, and Pickett was on his shoulder, and he was happy.

***

Percival woke as he was lifted from the basket, Dougal chittering slightly. Theseus grinned at him, his earlier anger giving way to calm now that Percival was an adult once more.
“You nearly smashed Dougal’s nest.” Theseus chided him.
“I’m sorry Dougal.” Percival apologised to the demiguise, who squeaked and reached out to pat him. Niff jumped down from the nest and scurried off in search of treasure, and Pickett leaped onto Newt’s hand when Newt reached for him.

Percival thought back to the previous night. He had been afraid to start with but then it had been wonderful, better than he could have imagined before. He felt warm and secure, and those memories were so fresh. After a childhood when he had been ashamed of wanting any kind of comfort, his family had given him so much. He blinked, trying to stop his tears, but Queenie reached out and handed him a handkerchief.

“You’re welcome.” She whispered, and squeezed his hand.

“Come on. You’d better feed the nundu, she’s getting jealous.” Newt told him, and just like that, everything was normal. He was home. He picked up the plushies, flashing Queenie a smile.
