Context: You met someone you fell in love with years ago. The man that fathered your son. What you didn't know was that said man was an incubus, and your son was quite clearly turning into the same. The village you grew up in has found out and has chased you into the forests with your halfling child. You're not sure how you'll survive the night without help. Fortunately, help has come. Unfortunately, he's kind of an asshole.

Setting: A dark forest

[Scene opens deep in the forest]

[SFX: The Listener running through the forest before crashing to the ground / a baby fussing]

[You’ve been running for so long you’ve forgotten why. Regardless, your legs finally give out, and you crash to the snowy forest floor, curled around your baby before you pass out]

[SFX: Heartbeats]

[Pause (Unconscious)]

[SFX: The Speaker sniffing the Listener]

“Mrr… a human woman this deep in the forest…? Hmph. Probably some Church nonsense. Still breathing… Hey… Hey!”

[Pause!]

[You shoot up with a gasp, coming face-to-face with… a rather odd-looking werewolf]

“Guh! Well, you’re still alive, at least… The Hell are you doing this deep in the forest?”

[Pause]

[He scowls at your silence]

“...Yeah, I know, I’m a demon, but I’m talking to you, aren’t I? Stand up.”

[...]

[You look up at the beast. He looks down at you]

[SFX: Baby whimpers]

“Wait...What are you hiding in your cloak?”

[Pause!]

“‘Please’ is not an answer, woman. What are you hiding in your cloak?”

[...]

[He growls under his breath and reaches out]

“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll just tear the damned cloak and see for myself-!”

[Pause!]

[SFX: More baby whimpers]

“A… baby?”

[Pause!!!]

“...A halfling baby… Hmph. Hey… Hey, you’re starting to sway a lot, are you-?”

[SFX: The Speaker catching the Listener]

“Hey! You’re… You’re bleeding…?”

[Pause…]

“Rrrgh… Calm down, you’re losing more blood the more you babble like that! Here, c’mon, I’ll get you to my cave… It’s probably not much for a human like you, but you’ll have to stomach it for now.”

[...]

[SFX: Him picking the Listener up]

[His voice softens. Just a little]

“Shh, it’s alright. It’s going to be alright… I’ll take care of you two as best I can… Provided you don’t piss me off too badly. Here… I’m not much of a demon anymore, but I can at least seal the wound with a bit of magic.”

[SFX: Dark magic]

[Pause]

“...You’re welcome. C’mon, it’s not far.”

[SFX: Him running off over the snow]

[Pause(Travel Time)]

[He runs for a bit, you and your son on his back. Good to his word, it’s not long before he enters a surprisingly warm cave]

“Here… I’m going to lie you on the bear skins near the fire, alright? How’s the brat doing?”

[SFX: Baby whimpers]

[The beast frowns at your son as he whimpers fitfully]

“Oh, what are you complaining about, Pup? It’s a little cold, sure, but you’re pretty red. Must mean you must be a little hotblooded, huh?”

[Pause]

[He snorts]

“I am definitely not what is making him smile. I think he’s just realized how good he’s got it. If it was an incubus that convinced you to give him a kid, he’ll at least grow up as a looker. Looks get you pretty far in this world…”

[...?]

“...Yeah, I’m a demon, too. A demon that got bitten by a fucking werewolf, and now this is my life. Living in a cave out in the forest. Worked out pretty well, I’d say…”

[Pause]

[He sighs, idly letting your son grasp at his tail]

“...Again, you’re welcome. I… know what being run out of town feels like. Can’t imagine being such a fucking bastard that I’d run out a mother and her child just for falling for some smarmy fuck…”

[Pause]

[He sighs, eyes reflecting the fire]

“...Goliath.”

[Pause?]

“My name. It’s Goliath. Liath is fine, call me Go-Go and I’m throwing you into the creek. Got it?”

[Pause]

[He gives you a sarcastic smirk]

“Good. What about you two? What should I call you?”

[Pause]

“Huh… Don’t hear that name often. And this one is Miles but you call him Minty, huh? That explains why he keeps eyeing my mint plants. Paws off, Little Red, not for you.”

[SFX: Baby fussing]

[Pause]

“O-Oh, uh, right you need to… to feed him, ahem, right. I’ll just… You know what? I’m hungry all of a sudden, I’m going to go ahead and cook up some bear stew. Yep. Hope you like bear stew.”

[SFX: Him standing and speedwalking for his life]

[You get him fed, changed and settled as best you can. After a bit, the beast returns and puts a bowl down before you]

“Is he… fed?”

[Pause]

“Good. Time to feed you, then. You’re shaking so violently… Can you even hold the bowl?”

[...]

[He grumbles and takes the spoon]

“For fuck’s sake… Here, I’ll feed you. C’mon, open up. Ahhh.”

[You dutifully let him feed you[

“There we go… How’s the bear taste?”

[...Pause?]

“Yeah, it is a little beef-like, huh? Always thought it was weird. Still a little gamey, but it’ll do in most pinches. I’m smoking some meat further in the cave where there’s a hole to vent the smoke. Maybe I can scrounge up some sturgeon or… I dunno. I’m not going through too much trouble for you two, got it?”

[Pause]

“...Yeah, well… you should be grateful. Might change my mind if the brat starts crying.”

[...]

[He pauses and his ears lower as he seems to recognize your distress]

“I… Rrgh. I’m… sorry that you’ve been through such an awful night. You’re… made of something different to offer your life for your child’s with such little hesitation. Listen, I…”

[Pause?]

“...You two should take the bed.”

[...Pause?]

“What? You’re still cold? Arlglrlr… Would you… want me to… I dunno, be in bed with you two? I’m not exactly pleasant, but I do put out a lot of heat.”

[Pause]

“Yes? R-Really? That sure, are you? What if I get hungry in the middle of the night, huh?”

[Pause]

“... Yes, there is more bear stew, shut up. For fuck’s… fine. C’mere, let me pick you two up.”

[SFX: Him picking them up and getting them settled in bed]

“Here. Goose down. Should be comfortable.”

[Pause]

“Ugh… Yeah, fine, cuddle up. Needy thing.”

[You cuddle up to his side and the shivering fades pretty quickly. You’re mostly asleep when he mutters a quiet:]

“...I hate this, you know.”

[Pause]

“I mean it, the bed is already cramped enough with just me in it!”

[Pause]

“...You’re welcome for giving you a place to sleep… Don’t get used to it, alright? Soon as we figure something out, you and Little Red are out.”

[Pause]

“...We don’t have to figure out something immediately, don’t… Don’t give me those sad eyes…”

[He grumbles again but seems to relent]

[Pause]

“I, um… yeah. Goodnight.”

[To be continued]

Note: It’s not like he wants to be a family or anything, ~baka~
