Just thinking about Cryptid!WWX who bring LWJ little gifts like a crow. After a day of terrorizing local wildlife + having a laugh @ dodging cryptid chasers, he's hovering outside LWJ's window leaving him a nice shell he found and some gemstones he cracked open just for him.

LWJ is just minding his business getting ready for bed all 👀😳 "thank you" each time he gets a new gift which makes Cryptidxian puff up proudly before he disappears with a blinding flash of light (think Mothman vibes- interdimensial travels/ass that doesn't quit).

LWJ puts the treasures on a little display by the window so Cryptidxian can see them, he seems to puff up happily even more when he does.

LWJ is marked down as scared/horny re: this Creature following him around. Should he be Concerned that this is some sort of feeding ritual?

nsfw

Spoiler: the only eating WWX will be doing is LWJ's ass but... for now Crytidxian is still rather innocent about all this. He just thinks that LWJ is his little special guy.

He likes to look at him. LWJ's voice sounds nice and he smells good.

LWJ doesn't scream or trying to point his shiny rectangle thing at Cryptidxian to "record" him.

So Cryptidxian just likes him a whole lot and likes to give him little pretty things that remind him of LWJ.

Meanwhile LWJ is going through an existential crisis, realizing that he might really be a Monsterfucker, actually, bc why does he dream about Cryptidxian embracing him in his claws and carrying him away like a delicious prize.

If LWJ switches to night showering just so he can ~accidentally be in his towel when Cryptidxian starts scratching at his window, that's LWJ's business

Anyway, let's make this #Situationji and say that LWJ gets into a Situation somehow. Maybe the Lans and Wens have some beef and Wen Xu shows up at LWJ's little house to try to kidnap him to threaten his brother. LWJ in his towel: Excuse you very much, I have an appt

The Wen's don't respect LWJ's schedule + proceed to try to Capture him and start breaking his things. LWJ is very upset bc they throw the massive amethyst that Cryptidxian found for him. He's trying to avoid Capture as long as he can bc Cryptidxian always appears right before 9pm

Wen Xu thinking this is an easy job, that he's going to be scaring some spoiled rich kid, is not entirely prepared for when a whole ass massive Creature of the Night breaks through the window and chucks him 40 ft out the other window.

Cryptidxian flying out after him looking omnious af. Very terrifying. LWJ is watching with hearts in his eyes 😍🥰.

Meanwhile the rest of the Wen crew just screaming/shaking/crying/throwing up as Crytidxian just absolutely Hulk-smashes this dude into smithereens

After thats done, Cryptidxian is feeling a little bad. He just destroyed LWJ's house and yard and left all these corpses around! That's not very nice of him... 👉🏼👈🏼 🥺

But, also, LWJ might still be in danger! Cryptidxian must protect his special guy!

So, he picks up LWJ in his claw and interdimensional travels them away just to be sure, no one is gonna kidnap LWJ while WWX is asleep during the day.

LWJ's crops are watered, his skin is clear, and he's still in just a towel...

Cryptidxian: 😳 Um. Are you cold? I don't wear clothes but I know u humans like them. Here is this bear skin fur that I have as decor idk

Cryptidxian seems to have taken him to his lair in the Cryptid dimensional plane.

"I'm fine, thank you," LWJ says, draping himself over the bear skin rug and flexing his abs, lamenting that he didn't have time to do more crunches before the Wens broke into his home.

Meanwhile, Cryptidxian hasn't had a guest in a long time, so he's excited to show off his bone collection!

He does this, for quite a long time, until he decides to show LWJ all the paintings he's done of him "Since you look so nice in your face"

LWJ seems to choke at that.

At that, Cryptidxian is worried that LWJ might be hungry and is eager to feed his pretty guest.

"Do you eat bone marrow? I also have some blood?"

LWJ just looks disturbed at that so Cryptidxian considers, "I forget what humans eat... vegetables? leaves?--"

"-- I know u all like greasy things in those in bags.... hm" and at that WWX nods and then disappears with a blinding flash of light.

LWJ stares in shock a where he just was, feeling a little grumpy. He is cold /now/. He rolls himself in the rug and frowns.

When he gasps when seconds later Cryptidxian has return in one had holding some daikon that look freshly pulled from the ground and a bag of McDonald's that looks like it was pulled from the trash.

Cryptidxian smiles proudly, "for you~" he cheers, fluffing his wings.

(yall were too fast for me to delete and fix my typos so ✌🏼, 😂)

"Thank you, I am not hungry at the moment," LWJ says and it's thankfully true. Cryptidxian just shrugs at that and then proceeds to dig a whole with his massive claw and bury the food there, "for later"

* HOLE (👀)

"You ARE cold!" Cryptidxian complains, indicating to where LWJ is wrapped like a burrito in his fur rug.

"I'm--" but before LWJ can finish the thought, Cryptidxian plucks him from the ground and plops him in his lap, wrapping his arms around him tightly.

"I can warm you up! I am very warm!" Cryptidxian says, feeling pleased when LWJ responds so quickly flushing with his warmth in his ears and cheeks.

"Thank you," LWJ mumbles from where his face is pressed into Cryptidxian's pectoral muscles.

Cryptidxian hums in satisfaction, wrapping his wings around his cuddly friend too, for good measure, to help keep him warm.

He is happy to be so close to him, LWJ smells even better up close like this. Cryptidxian sniffs him happily.

LWJ squirms, peering up at Cryptidxian before his eyes skitter away as Cryptidxian is staring down at him intensely. His eyes are dark red.

"Thank you... for saving me tonight," LWJ mutters, after a pause, staring at the shrine of portraits Cryptidxian did of him in blood.

Cryptidxian growls, reminded of the whole reason he absconded away with LWJ in the first place. He presses LWJ even closer to his chest.

"What the fuck was that about!" he is angry that these strange men interrupted his LWJ's night.

"Those men have an issue with my family not bowing to their blackmail & threats. They want to use me to get to them instead."

"I'll eat them," Cryptidxian huffs. He doesn't know what 'blackmail' is but he doesn't like the sound of it.

"That would be bad for your digestion."

Cryptidxian laughs, squeezing his LWJ in delight. He's so funny!

"You are probably correct! Humans are not very nutritious. And they taste awful."

"Good to know..." LWJ says trying to squirm again so that his lungs are not suffocated by this overly affectionate cryptid.

"If anyone else tries to mess with you, I will throw them into the sea, just wait," Cryptidxian assures, shifting LWJ to the other side of his lap, thinking LWJ was trying to get comfy. LWJ can breathe better, though, so he won't complain.

"I don't want to cause you trouble."

"It could be dangerous for you," LWJ continues, staring up at him looking grave. "If you get too much attention..."

Cryptidxian shrugs, "Doesn't matter. They can try to hunt me down but I'll just poof away," he makes his hand flash in illustration.

"It matters to me--"

"-- I don't want them to bother you. You deserve to live in peace."

"I think the same about you!" Cryptidxian smiles gently as he boops LWJ's nose. "I can just erase their minds anyway, if they get too nosy. I should probably do that, with the mess we left your place in."

"You...you can do that?" LWJ looks mystified.

"Of course! It's how I've been able to live unbothered for these last hundred years."

"Hundred years..."

"Why didn't you erase my mind then? When I saw you the first time?" LWJ asks quietly.

Cryptidxian ponders this. He had been slinking around the woods near LWJ's cottage. He liked that area, there was a fresh water lake nearby which provided easy access to dimension hop.

He remembered a woman that used to live there, she grew gentians in her front porch and always looked the other way when WWX helped himself to one of the local wildlife.

He'd been surprised when tracking a bear for lunch to find LWJ, frozen in terror as the bear cornered him.

Cryptidxian had paused, unsure whether or not to intervene. But ultimately if the young man knew the nice lady then Cryptidxian agreed he should not be eaten.

Plus the man had a nice face and Cryptidxian thought his waist looked squeezable.

He disposed of the bear easily.

He had paused, before he left, dragging his meal behind him.

"Be careful. The construction up the mountain is making bears migrate here."

LWJ had nodded, still staring at him wide-eyed, "th-thank you..."

After that Cryptidxian kept watch on the area, to keep the bears away.

The next night, LWJ had left him a 'thank you' note and some jars of bone broth on the porch that Cryptidxian had chugged immediately.

Silly, bears would also like bone broth. He had to keep an eye on this man.

Plus he had pet bunnies, which were just asking to be eaten.

WWX never considered why he didn't erase his memory like he did with everyone else. But he considers it now, looking down at LWJ's solemn face, staring up at him so seriously wrapped up in the fur hide of the bear that brought them together.

"I didn't want you to forget me"

WWX, king of earnest but oblivious romance, even in cryptid form.

ANYWAY Y'aLL...

After this LWJ kinda just doesn't want to go home and instead tries to become the Local Cryptid's Househusband. Maybe I can be convinced to write more tomorrow, we'll see 😂
