a FALL FOR,,,uHH,,,tHE WORSE
"Now come on little guy, don't be so shy. Angel doesn't bite." Fluttershy encouraged Tavros as he walked towards the irritable rabbit. Angel merely glared at him, he hadn't gotten his breakfast yet, and Nepeta was still eating.
Tavros sat down next to Angel nervously. He really liked all the animals Fluttershy had, but he was sort of scared. At his old home, they had loads of pets. But he was always scolded, and at the worst beaten, if he tried to touch them. You see, the trolls had been transported from a land where humans used them merely as pets. Luna received them, broken, beaten, crying for a someone. She did the best she could to heal them, but nothing could heal the scars of their past. Caring for the 12 was too much for her to handle, so she knew just who to send them to.
Fluttershy nudged Tavros closer to Angel. He whined quietly and clung to Fluttershy's neck. They were still very young. She wrapped her forehooves around him, picking him up. "Hush..." she murmured, but he kept whimpering. He was scared she would hurt him.
She spread her wings, and with a few quick swooshes, they were in flight. Tavros sniffled and opened his eyes, staring below them. He smiled slightly and looked back to her. She nuzzled him gently and he giggled. She set him back down on the table next to Nepeta, who was watching curiously.
He sneezed when he was placed near her and demanded to be picked up again, his arms raised high. Nepeta blinked, frowning. "Oh dear!" Fluttershy picked him up once more. "You're allergic to cats, aren't you?" she swooped around the room as he nodded.
Nepeta whined; she wanted to be flown around as well. Fluttershy placed Tavros gently on the couch with a kiss to his forehead before scooping up Nepeta. Nepeta hung on tight to the kind pony, watching the ground fall away slowly. She whimpered quietly. She didn't like this as much as she thought she would.
Come on Rowdy! Show that cat how to fly! The horrible memories flashed through her mind. Her last fight with the dogs. The humans had forced her to fight. To kill. Like no little troll should. The dog grabbed hold of Nepeta's tail, throwing her high in the air. Her tail broke with an audible snap as she wailed and landed with a yelp. The drunken crowd found this hilarious.
Nepeta dug her nails into Fluttershy, making her yelp. Her wings locked up, and Nepeta fell, fell, fell, tumbling from her hooves. There was a small cry of pain and a crack.
Tavros merely watched in horror.

"Is she gonna be okay?"
"I think. It was just a little fall, but she broke her arm."
"Hey Twilight? What's an arm?"
"Something humanoid creatures have for forehooves."
"English, egghead."
"Something that humans or things that look similar to it have for forehooves."
"Oh, dear."
Nepeta slowly blinked her eyes open. The six were gathered around her. Fluttershy looked extremely guilty. She frowned and reached out for her, but found that one of her arms was heavier. She looked at it. She had a cast. She whined softly for someone to pick her up. Gamzee, Sollux and Equius were peering at her, frowning. Equius went to her side, petting her carefully. She purred softly, leaning into his touch. She didn't like not being able to use one hand.
Sollux chirruped something, and the other trolls came over. Terezi bounded over to her side as quick as she could, sniffing at the olive colored cast. She went to lick it but Karkat tugged her away.
Nepeta stared at Karkat, shifting, trying to sit up. Equius made her lay back. She whined quietly. Fluttershy glanced to her and shooshed her. "I know, I know..." she whispered, humming softly to calm her down. Equius hugged her carefully, and she purred. She was glad to have her friend by her side.

Tavros was watching Gamzee and Nepeta talk quietly, He paddled his feet, sitting on the edge of a table. Vriska wandered towards him, smirking.
"heyyyyyyyy, tavie~" she greeted, laying down next to him and propping her head up on her elbows.
"i uHHH,,,hI?" he mumbled nervously, looking down.
"soooooooo, is that your girl that got hurt or something?" she winked. She secretly hoped it wasn't.
"wHAT?! nO..." he said quickly, blushing. Vriska smiled.
"oh come oooooooon~ i know at least one person you'd 8e cute with!"
"w-wHO,,,?"
Vriska merely giggled and stood up. "wouldn't you like to know." She wandered off to Terezi to talk.
Tavros stared after her, left curious and lonely.
((AN: I will ship things in this, but I'm not sure what you guys wanna see, so recommend some ships? I can do anything, but I personally ship NepSol, GamKar, and TaVris. But if you got something else, I'm open ears :::;) ))
