The littlest of Joys (Cookie Run kingdom x reader)

Chapter 3: A pot fit for a cactus

Custard Cream cookies eyes shined at the talk of seeking his approval as a royal. He couldn't help but feel excited as he gazed at the many flower pots before him. Before his eyes landed one singular one.

"That one." The cookie pointed.

The flower pot he chose was one in the shape of his crown that looked very similar to the one on his head.

(Y/N) couldn't help but chuckle, "I knew you would pick this one. Good choice, your majesty."

Custard cream cookie lifted his chin up, "Anything for my loyal subject."

(Y/N) couldn't help but smile as they noticed the small cookie's personality finally peek through. They knew that the poor cookie was terrified when they first encountered each other so (Y/N) knew they had to do everything to prove they weren't someone to fear.

Then then finished purchasing the flower crown pot before returning home. Thankfully no dogs or monsters as Custard Cream lll cookie called them.

Now home, (Y/N) laid the satchel onto its side to allow the cookie to exit the bag and onto the kitchen counter. (Y/N) then took the pot and added soil to it before heading over to the plastic container where Jerry being held.

"Okay. Jerry. Let's get you in this new pot that Custard Cream cookie graciously picked for you." The small cookie nodded as (Y/N) very gently scooped the underside of the cactus to grab its roots, being mindful of the many pricks around its body. It was going great until (Y/N) had remembered that they didn't put on protective gloves so they got a small prick in the process.

"Ow!" (Y/N) yelped, quickly placing Jerry inside the pot before looking at there right thumb.

"What's wrong?" Custard Cream lll cookie asked, as (Y/N) pulled out the little thorn and pushed there hand under the faucet of the sink to splash cold water onto it.

"I accidentally got pricked. But don't worry I'll be fine."

"May I take a look at it?" Custard Cream asked in a serious tone.

(Y/N) tilted there head at the sudden question before offering there thumb up to the small cookie.

While (Y/N) did try there best to successfully remove the thorn and rinse it. There was still a small scratch and blood seeping out of there skin.

Custard cream cookie then raised his staff and (Y/N)'s eyes began to widen.

Wait, is he gonna!

"King's blessing!" Custard Cream cookie suddenly shouted as the tip of his staff began to glow. Once the glowing stopped, Custard Cream Cookie smiled.

"There all better!"

(Y/N) could feel a tingly sensation in there thumb as the quickly turned it over and just like that, the cut was completely gone and only a small scar remained.

"Wow. So that's what magic feels like? That's awesome!" (Y/N) then held their hand up towards the cookie.

"You really are a great healer. High five!" The little cookie tilted his head.

"Oh... it's just means you hit my hand. It's a friendly gesture. Actually maybe this is better."

(Y/N) then pointed there ringer finger towards the cookie, "High stub!"

Custard Cream lll cookie giggled, "You sure are a funny human!" The prince then raised his small hand before hitting (Y/N)'s finger.

"Wait. I never got your name!" The cookie gasped.

"Oh. I guess in all this chaos. I never got the chance to introduce myself."

(Y/N) croaked down so there face to face with Custard Cream lll.

"Hi! My name is (Y/N). I am (Y/A). It's a pleasure to meet you Custard Cream lll."

The small prince smiled, "Likewise (Y/N)."

And so the two spent the rest of the day talking about many things.

(Y/N) told the cookie all about the app that he came from and in turn Custard talked about he wound up in their kitchen.

It soon became nightfall and the two grew tired.

(Y/N) yawned, "Well. I guess it's time for bed. Speaking of which where are you gonna sleep?"

(Y/N) pondered as the small prince yawned as well.

"I know!" (Y/N) screamed before once again scooping the cookie up and onto there shoulder. They then made there way to there room and looked through there closet before pulling out a felt scarf.

"I don't think have anything small enough for you but with this at least you'll be warm and comfortable."

(Y/N) wrapped the scarf into a nest like formation on top of there drawer before cradling the prince and place him inside it.

"Thanks...(Y/...N)." Custard Cream cookie, whispered before knocking out.

(Y/N) couldn't help but chuckle, "The poor thing must be exhausted."

(Y/N) yawned once more before lying down, "With everything he told me today. I guess another portal must be made in order to get him home. But how is that even possible when magic doesn't exist. His friends must be worried sick. I guess I'll figure this out in the future."

(Y/N) then laid down before slowly drifting off into sleep.

A new adventure now ahead.
