One Shots Book

Animal Lovers (Merome, Poofless, and Vikklan)

Hola! My llama Hope. Jk jk. I can kinda speak Spanish. Idk anymore. Let me explain, I know I said Pineapple's request next, but I don't wanna write smut rn. I'm sorry, but I think that's where that is going to go. Now, enjoy a request from @Rainbow_snivy .
Jerome, Rob, and Lachlan are the dominants in this. Plz no h8 m8. Um, I'm making the others affected. Only they who requested this will understand the prior sentence. Until you cheeses read it, I suppose. I'm gonna stop now. Enjoy~!

It was a quiet day for the group. It had recently rained so it was like a fresh new world outside. At the moment, Jerome was chasing Mitch while Preston curled up into Rob's lap. Vikk and Lachlan were curled up in a dry spot, sleeping the day away. Rob chuckled at the other two couples as he played with Preston's hair. The younger sighed and curled up farther into his lap. He rubbed his head into Rob's chest, probably to make it more comfortable. Rob chuckled at this, which caused Preston to shake slightly. He looked up at Rob and went in for a kiss but was interrupted by a panicked Jerome.
"Guys! I was chasing Mitch, and he turned a corner, and then I heard him scream, and now he's gone!" Jerome yelled, panting still from his chase and returning. Lachlan and Vikk had awoken and Preston had begun to pull Rob to his feet. The other four followed Jerome, who ran towards where him and Mitch had been playing. He brought them to the tree he had lost him around. "He ran around this tree and screamed and now he's gone!" Jerome stuttered, tears beginning to blur his vision. Mitch and Jerome had been the last of the couples to get together, and so they had been together for only around a month. Rob hugged the boy and shushed him.
"I'm sure he's fine. Breathe Jerome. Mitch is strong, he'll be fine." Rob cooed as the other three looked on nervously. Preston kept checking behind his back as he felt goosebumps grow along his neck. He caught a flash of a familiar checkered hoodie and stared that direction confused.
"Mitch?" Preston grumbled as he followed where the jacket had gone. He turned a corner around a tree and screamed. Rob's head shot up and he ran towards the noise. He found nothing however, which made him even more worried. Jerome and Vikklan arrive soon after, nervously looking around.
"He's gone. No!" Rob yelled the last bit as he punched a tree. "Sh*t. Where are they going?!" Rob asked as he looked around the nearby trees. There were no holes they could be falling into or hollows in trees.
"Okay. Well, if they're being logical, then they're grabbing one person from each couple, right?" Jerome asked as the other three nodded. "Then that means they'll be going after Vikk or Lachlan next, correct?" Once again, everyone nodded. Vikk and Lachlan shared a glance. "Okay. So we just make sure we don't lose either of those two. And whomever is doing this will get irritated enough they will show themselves. Is this making sense?"
"For once, yeah you're making sense Jerome. So just watch those two and not let them get separated. Seems easy enough." Rob said. As he said that, Vikk began to see a figure darting between trees.
"Lachlan. There's- there's-" Vikk stopped as he recognized the figure.
"What? What's wrong?" Lachlan asked as he tried to turn Vikk towards him. Vikk shrugged him off and kept facing that direction.
"Preston?" Vikk called as he ran after the figure. Lachlan's eyes went wide as he chased after him. He watched as a pair of hands grabbed Vikk, making him scream but Lachlan was just a little too late. When he looked where the figure had reached from they were gone. Lachlan let out a loud string of curses before finding the other two.
"What's your plan now Jerome?" Lachlan asked nervously. Jerome shrugged his shoulders and sighed.
"I'm out. Rob?" Jerome asked. Rob shook his head no and Jerome gulped. "I guess- I guess we'll have to just wait. Until we gather more info. Oh, I hope they're okay." Jerome grumbled the last part more so to himself.
"You aren't the only one Jerome." Rob replied as he helped the younger along. Lachlan followed behind, checking behind them for their lovers, hoping it was just a joke. But no such luck came their way. They all tried their best to sleep that night, but not much sleep was had.
The next morning, Rob awoke early like always. He went to go make breakfast but was distracted by a meowing at the back door. He looked through the glass door to see a fire-colored cat rubbing against the glass. Beside it was a dark brown cat who was curled into a ball and a light brown dog pacing the doorway. He smiled at the adorable animals and went to the door. The first cat, who's fur looked like lava, meowed louder at the door as it saw Rob and scratched at the bottom of the glass. The dog growled at the cat before nudging it away. Rob opened the door, causing the first cat to collapse into his feet. It purred as it curled up into Rob. The dog picked up the sleeping cat by a flab of skin on its back, carrying it into the house. The dark kitten mewled quietly as it was placed down inside. Rob closed the door and picked up the lava cat. It purred and tried to nuzzle into Rob's chest. It reminded Rob of his last minutes of peace with Preston and made him sad. The cat meowed at the sadness surrounding Rob and tried to cuddle closer. He embraced the cat in a hug and nuzzled into it.
"I love you." He heard Preston's voice say. He looked around confused, soon realizing he had imagined it. The dog was trying to get the darker kitten up but he was busy sleeping and wouldn't be bothered. The dog eventually quit and began to chase its tail. They all kept up what they were doing until another set of footsteps came down the stairs. The dog looked up and tackled Jerome once he was off the stairs.
"Oof. Well hello there. What's your name?" Jerome asked as the dog attacked him with kisses. "Okay, okay. Stahp. I'm taken you silly thing." He sat up once the dog stopped kissing him. Rob walked over, cat still in hand, and smiled at Jerome. "Who's are these?" Jerome asked.
"No clue. This one was trying to get through the door when I came down so I let them in. They seem to know us though." Rob said as he kissed the cat's head, earning himself a purr. "There's one more, a dark kitten. He hasn't stopped sleeping for long though. Ha, kind of like Lachlan." Jerome chuckled as the dog finally got off him.
"Why don't we introduce the sleepy heads?" Jerome said with a smirk. "Go fetch me the sleeping kitty." The dog barked before jogging off to grab the requested kitten. Jerome began laughing as he came back with a quite irritated kitten. "Calm down little one. You can sleep again once we show you to Little Lachy." The kitten mewled and purred at the Australian's name. Jerome smiled as he arrived in the Vikklan room. He but the kitten down on Lachlan's bed and the dark ball of fur began to lick Lachlan's face. Lachlan shifted and muttered something in his sleep. The cat purred back and Lachlan looked at the cat.
"When did we get cats?" Lachlan asked sleepily, pulling the kitten close.
"And a dog, but Rob claims they were trying to get in this morning." Lachlan nodded as he cuddled closer to the kitten.
"It reminds me of Vikky." Lachlan mumbled, talking about the kitten in his arms. The cat purred and licked Lachlan's face. "It acts like Vikk. It's eyes are like Vikk. Maybe I just miss him too much but, I don't know." Lachlan mumbled as he buried his face into the kitten. It purred and licked at his hair. Jerome smiled lightly at the sight.
"I'm gonna leave you two to sleep. Call me if you need anything." Jerome said as he walked towards the door. Lachlan hummed and the kitten purred. Jerome let out an airy laugh before closing the door behind him and spinning to be greeted by the dog. He squatted down to be on the dog's level. "You remind me so much of my Biggums. I miss him so much. We finally got together and then this? It isn't fair. I want Mitch back, so I can kiss him and hug him and never let go again." Jerome said to the dog, trying to hold back tears. The dog whimpered at the sight and began to lick away the escaping tears. He chuckled and hugged the dog before walking to his room. He wasn't really hungry right then. The dog followed him in and laid down beside him, picking his face occasionally. Jerome chuckled as he pet the dog. "You're like someone mixed Cocoa and Mitch together. It's great, and what I need right now." Jerome said as tears began to blur his vision again. The dog whined and licked up all the escaping tears. Then the dog put its paw on Jerome's face, as if trying to wipe away any tears it missed. Jerome chuckled and wiped away the tears -and the slobber- with the end of his sleeve. He smiled at the dog and sighed. "I want my Biggums back."
Downstairs with Rob, the cat was causing problems. It was knocking over any food Rob tried to make. Eventually, he gave up and just put frozen waffles into the toaster. The lava cat just bothered Rob more by reaching out towards him. Rob rolled his eyes and pet the cat. That is, until the toaster popped. The cat jumped away from the toaster and Rob laughed. It reminded him of how Preston used to jump every time the toaster would pop. He frowned slightly before grabbing out his waffles and bringing them to the table. The cat recovered from the noise quickly once Rob left the kitchen. It meowed and jumped down in order to follow him. There was a loud thump and Rob got up once he remembered he'd left the cat alone on the countertop. He rushed to the kitchen to find the cat in a blob on the ground. He picked up the cat who hissed slightly in pain. Rob coddled the cat close as he walked back out to his food. He quickly finished the waffles before curling up on the couch.
They spent the whole day with the animals. Rob stayed curled up with the cat on the couch, Lachlan and his kitten never left the bed, and Jerome began to chase the dog around outside. It was quite similar to the day before, how they'd all spent their day with their loved ones. Rob let the cat curl up in his lap and pet his head. The cat would purr nonstop and it made Rob chuckle. Lachlan held the dark kitten close to his body. Earlier it spoke to him, and it sounded like Vikk. He knew it was just hallucinations, but he wanted to believe he could have his Vikram in his arms. So he and the kitten cuddled close and talk quietly to each other every once in a while. Lachlan wasn't hungry anyway. Jerome was chasing the dog around outside. The dog began to run towards where Mitch had disappeared and he yelled out for the dog to stop. A cloaked figure stepped out from behind the trees and smiled at Jerome. The dog had first began to coward backwards, scared. That was until it realized the figure's focus was on Jerome. The dog growled and barked at the figure, scaring it slightly.
"You won't hurt me deary. I let you come back to him." The figure croaked sweetly to the dog.
"You aren't touching my Biggums." The dog growled, sounding like Mitch.
"Is that a challenge?" The cloaked figure purred. The dog growled louder and Jerome took a chance.
"Mitch." The dog looked at Jerome confused. "Leave her alone. We'll leave and no harm done." Jerome tried to coax the dog that seemed to be his Biggums. The dog growled and backed away slowly, eyes on the woman. She disappeared behind the same tree Mitch had and the dog turned and attacked Jerome.
"B-Biggums! Stahp! I'm fine, you're fine. I'm so happy you're okay, well ish." Jerome said as the dog licked his face. He knew from Cocoa that that was meant to be a sign of affection and it made him happy. Was this dog really his Biggums? He kissed the dog's nose, which made the dog lick his cheek again. "If you are my Biggums, then I love you so much."
"I love you too Biggums." The dog said and it jumped off of Jerome. He pawed Jerome shoulder before yelling "Tag, you're it!" Jerome got up and quickly chased after Mitch.
As the hours of the day winded down, Lachlan finally came out with the kitten in hand. He ate some food, offering the kitten some tuna. The kitten purred and nipped at the tuna. Rob walked in, followed by his cat, and smiled at the scene. "Would you like some tuna?" He asked the cat. It purred and nuzzled Rob. He chuckled and grabbed another can of tuna out, moving the contents to a shallow bowl. He knew otherwise that that cat would cut off a foot somehow. Jerome walked in and grabbed himself something to eat. Mitch sat by the back door, watching and waiting for that woman to show up again. She was the one who turned them into these animals and he hated her for it. He just wanted to be able to normally cuddle with his Biggums. He saw a shadow and his ears perked up. The woman smiled smugly at Mitch and he began barking. Jerome walked over to the door and caught a glance of the cloaked figure before she disappeared.
"Calm down. They won't bother us. Not if we've got you to protect us." Jerome said as he ruffled the dog's fur. It licked his hand before Jerome got up to get some food. It was nearly time to head to bed, and they were all slightly nervous about their missing loved ones. But something inside their heads kept trying to convince them that these pets were their loved ones. Lachlan accepted it and used it as an excuse to cuddle with the soft kitten. Jerome used it as a reassurance that his Biggums was alive, and Rob just blew it off. It didn't affect him. They had all made a mental agreement to worry more about their missing boyfriends tomorrow.
As the clock struck midnight, a loud scratching awoke the animals. Mitch padded over to where Vikk was sleeping beside Lachlan and picked him up. The kitten screeched but luckily didn't awake his Australian boyfriend. They both met Preston downstairs who was nervously glancing at the cloaked figure. There was a human shape carved into their glass back door, which made Mitch snarl.
"Do you want to be fixed? Or do you want me to re-affect the potions?" The figure croaked at Mitch. He growled but quietly, as to not irritate her more. "Good boy. In five minutes you'll change back to normal, but you'll be naked. Good bye!" The figure disappeared right back out of the hole before the animals shared a glance. They began to feel pain filling their extra boy parts and rushed up to their respective bedrooms. Mitch cursed under his breath as he remembered he'd been wearing his checkered hoodie that day, as well as his dog tags. He curled up in bed with Jerome and yelled quietly as he felt the pain worsen. Tears sprung to his eyes as he grew back into a human. Jerome turned over to see his boyfriend wrapped in only a tattered hoodie, dog tags hitting his chest that was moist with tears.
"Vikk?" Lachlan asked as he heard quiet whimpering beside him. Vikk finally let himself sob as he curled into Lachlan's chest. "Sh. You're okay babe. I've got you. Sh." Lachlan cooed to his crying boyfriend.
"Robbie?" Preston asked as he slowed his crying. Rob nodded and held him close. "I love you. Don't ever leave me."
"I'd never dream of it. I love you too. I'm so glad to be home." Mitch muttered as he curled closer into Jerome.
"I was so scared. Scared that we won't be allowed in and that we'd be left all alone." Vikk sobbed as he held onto Lachlan tighter. Lachlan kissed his hair lightly.
"I won't ever let you be alone again."
