Beach Baby

I know, chapter 20, it's supposed to have drawings- it don't. And it probably won't either- sorry babes, I've not had the mood-
Edit: haha I lied-

A lone cookie sits in their bedroom, longingly gazing out the window. Outside was storming pretty heavily. They raised their hand to the glass with a sigh. They were supposed to go on a walk today. The weather was perfect just a few minutes ago!
They traced a frowny face into the condensation with a light groan. The waves outside rose high before crashing down, threatening to reach their little beach side cottage.
Not that it would cause that much harm, they've taken precautions. You outta know what you're getting into when moving so close to the sea.
They leaned back with a sigh and reached for a book on their nightstand. They pulled their legs up on the armchair they were situated in, and flipped the book open at the page marked by a strip of paper they had no other use for.
The winds howled outside for hours on end. The cookie had ended up going to bed eventually, having given up on the hope of going outside that day.
When they woke up the next morning, they immediately were greeted by dark splotches on their ceiling. The roof lost a few tiles in the storm, it seemed. They suddenly knew what they were going to do today.
They were currently up on their roof, carefully placing replacement tiles over the hole the wind tore into their house. Only halfway done, they turned over and sighed, deciding to take a break and gaze at the now calm sea they loved so dearly. With it's sandy beach, seashells, and black blob that wasn't there before.
Wait, huh?
They leaned forwards and squinted in hopes of seeing it better, but alas, their eyes were not capable of magnification.
Infinitely curious, they slipped over to the ladder leaned against the wall and made their way to the ground. They jogged down to the beach, sliding to a halt and kneeling down in the sand beside the tiny blob. It looked squishy, but they didn't dare touch it. It seemed to be some kind of unfortunate marine animal that got beached by the storm yesterday. They've seen a lot of jellyfishes end in this way- some they managed to get back into the water in time. Though they doubted this was a jellyfish.
Shuffling over to the shoreline, they cupped some water in their hands and brought it back quickly before it drizzled out between their fingers. They let the salty water fall upon the blob, in hopes of gauging whether it was alive or not. The little thing flinched. Good, good, it wasn't dead.
They quickly went and got another handful of water, and repeated their previous action. At this, the small ball of darkness rolled over, and slowly opened it's eyes...
And then continued to squeak in alarm and burst into tears. Taken off guard, the cookie panicked and attempted to pick them up.
"Hey, hey, it's okay baby, shh-"
The squid just kept trying to escape their grasp, flailing their arms and making squeaking noises.
They gently cradled the little creature, and wiped at their teary cheek with their thumb.
"Shh. It's okay. You're safe. I'm a friend, see? It's okay."
The tears never really stopped, but they looked up at them with sparkly eyes and a whimper.
"Yeah, see, you're okay. I bet that storm was scary, huh."
The poor thing cuddled into their chest, shivering.
"That bad?"
They chuckled light-heartedly, setting the smol down in the foaming water. They cleaned the the dry sand off of them with a smile, that only widened when the little one let out a coo.
Now clean and no longer scared, they looked up at them with foggy eyes.
"Now, what's that look for?"
The older cookie asked with a chuckle. The little one only scooted closer to them and latched onto their arm.
"Oh, cuddle time already? Alright."
They sat there for a while, before the tiny squid removed themselves from their new friend's hold, and slid back into the water.
It was time to go back. Not home, just back. They really wanted to find that shiny thing they were looking for.
They received a loving headpat from the land cookie before they took their leave.
(Y/N) sighed as they watched them go.
"Stay safe."
