G/T YouTubers (One Shots and More)

Spiders and Borrowers (Mat and Nate+Mark) (Part 2)

But before he could recover, a shadow fell over Nate. Something huge and warm brushed against him and wrapped around the borrower, and Nate felt his feet leave the shelf as he was gently dragged out of the darkness and out into the open.

Mat pulled the borrower out and stared at him with awe. The tiny person's eyes were unfocused and half closed, and his chest worked against Mat's hand as Nate struggled to recover himself. Mat realized he didn't have long before Nate would realize where he was, so he took two steps to the right and opened another cabinet. He reached in and pulled out a Mason jar, and he tilted it and gently slipped Nate in.

Nate flinched when he slid and smacked against glass, and he moaned as he rolled over on his back. He watched with dazed thoughts as Mat carried the jar out of the kitchen and left with the borrower.

Mark had a really bad feeling when the human finally left. He was relieved that Mat was finally gone, but from the noise outside and the tingle of dread going down his nape, the borrower had a feeling that his cousin had been seen and captured.

Oh Nate. No... he slowly came out of hiding and pushed the door open a little to look out. No. Mark froze when he saw the mess left in the medicine cabinet, and his stomach dropped. He's such a good kid, he didn't deserve to be caught! Mark quietly whimpered and covered his mouth just in case someone could hear him. How am I going to get him out of this mess? Mark looked down the hall to see Mat disappear into the game room, and his jaw clenched. Please, just hang in there Nate! I'm coming!

Nate kept his eyes closed and laid still, hoping to fool the humans. If he could just play dead he could buy himself those extra few seconds and find a way to escape. His chest was tight and his heart pounded like a drum as Mat carried the jar into the game room.

"Stephanie." Stephanie looked up from the computer and smiled.

"Hi Mat." She was sitting next to Jason, who was wearing headphones and deftly going through something on the computer. Mat had his hand over the glass so that Stephanie wouldn't see Nate, and he nodded his head to the side. Stephanie nodded back and glanced at Jason to murmur, "I'll be right back." Mat left the room and waited in the hallway for Stephanie.

"Well?" Stephanie asked quietly. Mat looked to make sure Jason was fully unaware before he moved his hand and revealed Nate. "Aw!" Stephanie gasped. "What is that? Is it ok?"

"I don't know," Mat said. "I found it hiding in one of the pill bottles." Stephanie bent down and peered into the jar.

"It doesn't look ok," she remarked. "You didn't kill it did you?"

"No!" Mat gave Stephanie a mock look of shock. "Don't you know me by now Steph?" He chuckled.

"Well of course I do, I would sure hope so at least! It just doesn't look like it's ok." Mat tilted the jar and let Nate slide to the rim. Stephanie cupped her hands and gently picked the borrower up.

"It looks like a little tiny person." Stephanie rubbed her finger over the borrower's hair, mussing it affectionately.

"I know." Mat frowned. "How does it even exist though? It's so small and it must have one heck of a time sneaking around the house and taking food." He shook his head. "Better yet, I'd say it's fascinating for a humanlike creature this small to survive all on its own!" Stephanie nodded in agreement.
