Robbie was slithering his way through the forest, humming softly to himself, he was humming a tune that he had heard random passerby's sing recently.

((aka-- well really I'll leave it up to you, whatever Christmas tune you'd want him to hum I guess haha))

Robbie continued to slither along but he stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed a small figure in the middle of the path, his eyes held concern as he quickly slithered over to the figure.

You gasped and your eyes widened when you noticed what appeared to be a snake slithering closer, you squeezed your eyes shut and prepared for the worst. ... but, to your surprise nothing happened...

Robbie blinked and looked down at you, you were the smallest human he had ever encountered, now sure he usually would run if it involved humans but this one... They seemed so small, and helpless in a way.

You slowly opened your eyes and what you saw shocked you, it looked... well the upper half looked like a zombie more than a human, but the lower half of him was a snake's body with marks and cuts all over it.

You flinched when you heard a gurgle from the creature, you expected it to just snatch you up immediately, you looked up into his pale-grey eyes and you saw what you thought was concern.

"Sooo... smaaalll..." He slurred out rather slowly "Aree youu.... okaay?" He asked, tilting his head almost like a curious puppy.

You didn't speak, your eyes darted around for a moment before you got up and dashed away, or well tried to, before you knew it you felt a tail coil around you but not tightly however and it was very gentle as it seized you.

You yelped and began to scream softly which seemed to startle the giant creature, he quickly leaned down and gurgled softly, reaching his hand out to gently scoop you up "Heeyy... itt... okaayy... Robbieee won'ttt.... hurrt..." He tried to reassure you, he even pet your head in a soft manner.

You flinched again but blinked when he began to pet your head, he was being so soft, so gentle.... but why...? "Y-Your.... not....going t-to eat me are you?"

Robbie grunted, as if he were offended in some way and shook his head "Robbieee... Don't eeeattt frriendddss..." He spoke softly, a smile appearing on his face, he doesn't even know your name nor anything about you and he already considers you a friend.

You were slowly calming down, he was being so gentle, so nice, and he hasn't even TRIED to do anything bad yet... Maybe it was wrong to judge him based on his looks "...Y....You... What are you exactly?..."

Robbie looked at himself and wiggled his tail a little "...Zombieee naaggaa?..." Well, that's.... really the only thing he knew to call it, it was true after all.

((coulda made him say zombie snek boi))

You blinked, so your thoughts were correct, he was indeed a zombie... snake-like creature, a zombie naga... But, what was weird about him was the fact he seemed conscious, like he knew what he was doing, weren't zombies normally mindless flesh-eaters?

...You decided not to even ask that question in fear it may offend or trigger something within the zombie, you were about to speak but noticed his ears perking up and noticed his glances around.

"Robbiee... hearrss thaat musicc againnn..." He grumbled, however his eyes widened when he saw two figures approaching in the distance, he figured it would be best to hide since Henrik had always told him to be weary of humans, he slithered behind a bush and out of sight.

You didn't even have a chance to protest or at least tell him to put you down, not that he would anyways, you watched as he put a finger to his lips which signalled for you to be quiet, you both watched the humans pass by, they were talking about something called 'Christmas'.

After they left, Robbie sighed in relief but he had a confused look on his face "Tinyy frriendd.... Whattt iss... ''Chrismaaas''?..." He looked absolutely intrigued, he didn't really know what this 'Christmas' thing was at all.

You looked at him, you weren't really afraid at this point, your fear subsided a bit ago "Well... My name is (Y/N) first of all and second of all... Christmas is a time well.... Its where you can get gifts, but its supposed to be more about gift-giving... Giving is better than getting as most would say." You paused, letting him take that part in before continuing.

After awhile of explaining Christmas in the best way you could, Robbie seemed to understand his eyes were full of wonder "Chrissmaaas sounddss.... niicee... We've neverr haadd itt beforree..."

You looked at him curiously "We?..." He opened his mouth as if he were about to speak but quickly jumped when he heard a familiar voice, he quickly wrapped you up in his tail and hid you behind his back.

"Ah! Zhere you ah're Robbie!" One with a (really amazing) really bad German accent spoke out "Told ya he hadn't gotten far bro!" Another one spoke, you regretted asking now about the whole 'we' part.

The one that looked like a doctor had slithered over, he rose a brow "Robbie... Vhat do you have?" Those words almost made your heart stop, you tried to keep still and hidden.

The zombie naga began fidgeting and looking around nervously "Robbieee... haass... n-neww frrriend...." He started, lying wouldn't get him out of this situation and he knew it very well, he leaned behind and gently scooped you up.

"Meettt (Y/N)... Theeyyy frrienddlyy.... anndd nicee" He said in a rather quick tone, he knew how Henrik got sometimes over humans, so he was worried actually.

You looked up at the one who looked like a doctor and noticed he was glowering at you, this made you nervous and honestly a little frightened "U-Uhm.... H...Hi there...?" You waved slightly.

((doctor naga boi is a wee bit overprotective oops))

It took the doctor a few moments before finally saying something "Guten Tag..." He had mumbled it rather quietly but the one with a snapback hat on quickly intervened "Don't worry about him lil duder! He just gets really overprotective"

The one with a hat seemed cheerful enough "By the way, the name's Chase and this is Schneeplestein but, just call him Henrik though" Chase greeted for the both of them, it seemed like Henrik wasn't much of a talker right now anyways.

((*That moment when you spell Schneeple's name wrong 15 different times*))

You nodded and fidgeted with your fingers "I'm... (Y/N)... Nice to meet you both..." You could feel the tension right now, you couldn't blame Henrik though... Most humans don't do well around snakes, so they could have been attacked before.

Chase looked down at you curiously and scooped you up "Woah... How'd ya get so tiny? I've never seen a human this small!" However before you could even comment, you heard a growl and felt yourself get snatched back.

Robbie had lunged at Chase and hissed as a warning, he was holding onto you carefully, great... Was Robbie overprotective too?

"Woah bro, chill! I forgot, you do love small creatures..." Chase rubbed the back of his head "Your getting almost as bad as Henrik with the whole 'overprotective' thing." He grinned in a cheeky manner, it figures as much, Robbie is of course, overprotective as well.

((Chase you have no right to talk, you'd be overprotective of the smol too, like a really overprotective parent, hell you could probably out-do both Henrik n Robbie even if they were combined))

Henrik gave Chase a death glare "Chase, I vwould advize you to shut up, unless of courze you vwant to be a test subject fo' my latest experiment~" He watched as Chase's cheerful expression turned into one of horror.

"You.... Your joking right?" He looked at Henrik who wore a very serious expression "Do I look like ze type to joke?" Those words were enough to make Chase hiss and slither away in terror.

Henrik chuckled and turned back to Robbie who was staring at him "Youuu didn't meean thatt...rrright?" He should know by now since Henrik had usually done something like that just to get Chase to quit pestering him, but he still wanted to be sure.

"Yes Robbie, I vwas kidding, I vwould never do zat to Chase." Henrik seemed a little calmer now, but that didn't stop him from giving you a distrustful look every once in awhile "Come avlong Robbie, you can... bring your little friend if you really vwant to" He sounded reluctant but he knew how persistent Robbie was as well.

Robbie gurgled in happiness and looked down at you with a happy smile, he then realized "Youu....dooo wanna come wwwith uss rrright?..." He sounded worried, most likely worried you wouldn't want to.

You fidgeted slightly and looked up at Henrik who simply shrugged, you then looked back to Robbie who had a hopeful look in his eyes "Alright... I guess it wouldn't hurt... If your friends... really don't mind that is"

Robbie's gurgles got louder and a lopsided smile appeared on his face, he leaned down and nuzzled you happily, you smiled a little when Robbie nuzzled you, you looked over to Henrik who seemed to still be a little....worried, his expression seemed like it was mixing.

"I don't mind, but, try anyzing und it vwill not end vwell fo' you..." He hissed in a threatening manner, which you immediately nodded and understood, he then began slithering back to most likely they're home, Robbie followed, making sure to hold you carefully.

...............................................

After awhile you found yourself in what appeared to be a cave, it was rather tidy for... well a cave, you blinked slowly "This is.... where you live...?"

"Vwell, zhere's not many optionz fo' nagas, vwe're still scary snakes to ze humans, so vwe vwon't get any 'special treatment' or anyzing like zat" Henrik explained, rather bitterly, you couldn't help but feel bad.

They didn't seem to like the cave very much honestly, you could see they were making do with well, what they could... "It's not very warm in here... Much less suitable for living..." You blurted out but then quickly shook your head "I-- I'm sorry, that just came out...."

Henrik shrugged "Vwell, zat iz ze truth so no need to be sorry." Then Chase nodded "Yeah, its not the best but hey, we've made it this far... Thankfully." Finally, Robbie gurgled a little "Caavee iss crrampedd andd noot mucch food arround..." He added rather sadly, well it was the truth, one couldn't argue with that last statement.

You sighed, you couldn't believe you were about to suggest this but, they did seem like they needed a place to stay, even if Henrik could be... a little bit intimidating "...Would you... like someplace new to stay? Like... An actual house?"

All three nagas turned to face you, their expressions held one of shock and yet... hope? Was that the right word? Henrik was of course the one to speak out "You... vwould really trust us zis quickly? Enough to let us into your home? If zat iz truly vwhat you vwere offering..."

You nodded and smiled a little "Well... You haven't exactly attacked me, Robbie's been really nice, Chase has been energetic and you... Despite being cautious and overprotective, your nice too. I can see why you wouldn't just trust even a tiny human like myself, you look out for these guys which is really respectable of you..."

Henrik looked taken aback for a second, he looked towards Chase who shrugged "It's up to you doc, I mean this is a chance we could finally have a proper place to live."

He then turned back to Robbie who was making small gurgling noises "Cann wee staay wiithh (Y/NNN) pleease...?"

Henrik thought for a few moments before nodding "Alvright... Vwe'll stay vwith you ...Zhank you (Y/N)" He actually smiled at you, slithering off to grab a few things, most likely treasured items, Chase did the same, and even Robbie grabbed a few things, after that you all headed out, you of course had to lead the way...

........................................................

After a bit, you finally made it to your house, it seemed so much bigger than before since you were tiny, good thing it wasn't near any other houses honestly, you were rather secluded in the woods.

Henrik rose a brow "Zis is your house? Isn't it a bit... big fo' someone your size?" He questioned, meanwhile Robbie and Chase were amazed at how cozy it looked, even from the outside.

"Yep, this is my place and... I wasn't ALWAYS tiny... I don't even remember what happened exactly, I was taking a daily stroll through the woods and then suddenly I just woke up to being tiny..." You explained carefully.

Henrik nodded "Hmm.. Zat iz... razher strange, I vwonder vhat could have caused such a zing to happen" He looked as if he were in thought now, once Henrik goes into thinking mode there's not much to snap him out of it.

You shrugged and looked over at Chase "Hey, you think you could um... get the key? It's under the doormat, and I'm kinda... Well you know" This made Chase glance over at you "Oh yeah, sure thing lil duder!" He then reached down, grabbing the key and unlocking the door.

You thanked him and looked inside, taking a deep breath, it was honestly nice to be back home, you noticed the three staring inside, oh yeah you had decorated for Christmas... They must be staring at the lights and all.

Robbie looked absolutely amazed as he slithered on inside, the others following behind "Soo... prrretty... soo... colorrfull..." He gurgled out happily, taking in all the decorations and the lights seemed to fascinate him the most.

Chase and Henrik seemed to know what the decorating was for... How? Well, that was a mystery... Maybe they had just heard stuff about it, who knows?

"Vwow... Zis looks very amazing..." Henrik remarked, taking a look around and getting familiar with his new surroundings, meanwhile Chase looked amazed "Nice place ya got here (Y/N)! It looks so cozy and comfortable, and with the decorations it reminds me of Christmas with the kids!"

...He had kids? Well that was something new, as the saying goes you learn something new everyday. "Thank you... And it took awhile to get these decorations up but its always worth it, feel free to help yourselves to the food in the kitchen."

Robbie set you down on the table and rushed off into the kitchen, along with Chase while Henrik called out in a scolding tone "Now don't eat everyzing! Remember, zhis iz still (Y/N)'s house!" He sighed "Zhey're just like children sometimez I svwear..."

You giggled a little "Aren't you hungry as well? If you want you can go ahead and eat... I was kind of hoping you'd help me in the kitchen anyways, if you don't mind... Do you know how to make hot chocolate?"

Henrik nodded "Vhy, yes, yes I do" He seemed gleeful for once, maybe he liked hot chocolate "I never really had ze chance to make it since... Vwell you know" You nodded in understanding.

"Well, let's go make some hot chocolate!" You exclaimed happily, watching as Henrik slithered over, however when he picked you up his grip was rather... tight.

"H-Henrik... too tight..." You wheezed and he immediately corrected his mistake and apologized a few times, you said it was alright but he still looked over you just incase, finally you both went and started making hot chocolate.

After a good bit of talking and getting to know each other, the hot chocolate was finally done, Henrik grabbed some cups and poured the hot chocolate in, Chase had grabbed two marshmallows and tossed them, surprisingly they landed in the cup which resulted in a loud cheer from him.

You winced slightly at the loud yelling but climbed up to your cup of hot chocolate, luckily Henrik had put a little straw for you, that was really considerate of him, you slowly took a sip and smiled happily.

Chase wasn't satisfied with his, he grabbed what appeared to be whipped cream, beginning to spray his hot chocolate, after he got halfway Henrik interjected "Chase, I vwouldn't add zat much vwhipped cream... You vwill regret it."

Chase simply rolled his eyes and sprayed all of the whipped cream onto his drink and then began devouring it, he would definitely regret that later...

Robbie drunk his plain and simple, no whipped cream, no marshmallows just normal hot chocolate "Mmmm..." He seemed to love the taste of it a lot, his eyes were focused on the cup.

He did glance over at you a few times and smile happily, the zombie naga seemed to be growing attached to you, he slithered his way over when he saw Henrik walk over to Chase, probably to scold him for using all the whipped cream.

"Hoott... chocooo iss... gggood." He gurgled happily, taking a few more slow sips, finally his was gone.

You had finished drinking yours, well, you drank as much as you could "Aahh...~ That hit the spot" You looked over at Robbie and smiled, you watched as he set the cup down and gently lifted you up, nuzzling you close.

"(Y/NNN)... Soo cuutee...." He was smiling happily, sure it still looked lopsided and a little creepy but nonetheless you were beginning to grow fond of him, even the others you were getting used to.

((I just now realized this deep in I could've made it sad when Chase was talkin bout his kids n the whole Christmas thing ....nAAh-- Stacy doesn't exist to me, she's dead to me-- Chase just has his kids and that's what matter mhm yep yep yep-- ok I'll stop interrupting))

You looked over and watched as Henrik was scolding Chase for using all the whipped cream, meanwhile Chase looked as if he were struggling to retort back, you looked back at Robbie "Do they always do that?"

Robbie looked down at you and blinked in confusion, he then seemed to realize what you meant "Ohhh, yeeaah... Hennn carres a loot abbout Chessss.... He scoldds himm forr stuff like thaat..." He then whispers to you "I thhink Henn likess Chesss... Likess him a lott."

Robbie must not have spoken quiet enough, both the others turned directly towards you and Robbie "Uhh-Ohhh...." He gurgled as he saw the pair approach.

"Robbie, vhy vwould you tell (Y/N) zat? Not zat its true or anyzing...." Henrik spoke really fast and defensively, as did Chase and after a few moments Robbie began whimpering, the two were talking really fast and seemed to be overwhelming the poor zombie naga...

You furrowed your brows and stood straight "HEY! Calm down you two, your overwhelming him!" You called out to the pair who immediately stopped and realized you were right, the poor thing looked close to tears.

"R-RRRobbiee sorryyyy..." He whimpered out, looking away from the pair "Didn't meeaann...." He couldn't finish his sentence hardly, his lower lip was trembling, he couldn't handle the both scolding him in such a way.

The pair quickly began apologizing, being careful not to speak too fast and talk too loud "Robbie vwe're sorry, vwe forgot zat stuff overvwhelms you." Henrik spoke slowly and carefully "Yeah dude, sorry, we won't do it again" The two gently pulled Robbie into a hug.

Robbie couldn't really hug back since he had you in hand, but he was calming down now, especially when you started comforting him and hugging his finger "Okaay... RRRobiee okaayy nowww..."

The two pulled away and sighed in relief, they never mean to upset Robbie, then again sometimes it couldn't be helped the poor guy was rather sensitive after all.

The others slithered back into the living room, as did Robbie although he was slithering closer to the tree as if he wanted a better look at it, you then realized what you had hung near "U-Um Robbie watch where your--" It was too late, he slithered right under the mistletoe.

The others were now chuckling, this was not a good sign, of course Chase was the one to speak up "Awww~! You two gotta kiss now, mistletoe rules bro~!" He chuckled, and teased slightly, oh you were going to get him back for that...

Robbie grumbled and blushed, he looked embarrassed already "Onnlyyy.... cheeekk..." He gurgled out, which made you sigh in relief.

You watched as he leaned down and kissed your cheek gently, his blush still getting worser nonetheless, he then leaned back slightly, it was your turn now... You carefully leaned forward and gave his cheek a quick peck before shying away, your face was horribly red.

Chase and Henrik clapped, still chuckling a little, they didn't seem to mind the fact you kissed each other's cheek, but still... Now's the time for your ''revenge'' you quickly whisper to Robbie on what you want to be done which he gurgles and nods at.

Robbie then walks over to Chase and Henrik, he set you down on the table and then pushed the others towards the mistletoe, this made them both yelp and shake they're heads.

"H-Hey! No fair b-bro!" Chase pouted, it was his turn to blush now, Henrik's face was slightly red "Zat iz bullshit, you cannot push us under ze mistletoe! Zat doez not count"

You giggled and shrugged "Sorry guys, but uh, 'mistletoe rules b r o'~" You smirked devilishly at Chase who frowned at you, Robbie was simply gurgling and smiling "Youuu....kiisss.... noowww"

Chase sighed and took his hat off, running his fingers through his hair "C'mon dudes.... Show some mercy..." He mumbled, then placed his hat back on. "Fine, let's just get this over with... We can do a cheek kiss too"

Henrik was blushing furiously but he smirked nonetheless "Vwell... Vhat if I don't vwant to?" This made Chase stare at the doctor as if the man had lost his mind "Y....Your joking.... ...You gotta be joking this time doc" He laughed nervously, but something told him the doctor wasn't joking.

"Vhat did I say earlier Chase? Do I look like ze type to joke avround?" Henrik chuckled and leaned towards Chase "C'mon do you not vwant to?" He asked in a serious tone, he would respect the other's boundaries if he didn't want to but part of Henrik hoped Chase would be okay with this...

Chase fumbled around for a moment, he sighed and took off his hat "....I....I do want to.... I don't mind honestly..." He said a little bit quietly, he leaned forwards and made direct eye contact with Henrik, the both of them had honestly waited for the right moment to even kiss.

Finally, they found they're lips touching together, before they knew it they're arms were wrapped around each other, the kiss was passionate and careful, as if the two were watching and making sure they didn't step across the other's boundaries.

Soon they pulled back, smiling happily at each other, they're faces were bright red as they intertwined they're hands together "I do care about'cha doc... I care a lot about'cha."

Henrik continued to smile "I care fo' you as vwell Chase... I alvways have... You mean ze vworld to me." He ruffled Chase's hair playfully who began chuckling and swatting at the doctor's hands "Hey hey hey, cut it out doc, your gonna mess up my glorious hair"

Henrik rolled his eyes and took the hat, gently putting it on Chase's head then pulling it down over his eyes in a playful manner.

((I do ship me some Henrik n Chase but in a platonic manner, I could picture them as-- like-- just, not really sexually involved with each other like they'd never go THAT far, but kissing, cuddles, etc. That's all good, they platonic bois))

Henrik and Chase were still holding hands as they slithered back into the kitchen together, this gave you and Robbie some alone time, you turned to face Robbie when you noticed he was actually staring down at you.

"What's up big guy?" You questioned which made Robbie gurgle and jump in surprise, as if he were previously in thought "Ohhh wasss I starrringgg? Sorryy... RRRobbieee was just thinkkingg..."

You rose a brow "Thinking? About what?" You noticed his small smile and his peaceful expression "Abboutt howw niicee youu've beeenn.... Chesss... Heennn... Theey.... soo haappyy... Anddd... Youuu madddee mee happy too (Y/NNN)... I loovee youu" Its as if he blurted out the last part, he blushed some more.

You smiled and giggled at him "Aww, Robbie, I love you too... You've been kind and gentle... And just so nice... I don't know why people would be afraid of your kind... Your all very nice and polite... You can all stay here for as long as you want, I promise..."

Robbie gurgled happily and cuddled you close "Thhaannk youuu... (Y/NNN) ssoo niccee... soo cuttee... RRobbieee lovvess..." He began trailing off as he yawned and laid down, letting his tail take ahold of you, being careful as he coiled around around you.

You chuckled softly, nuzzling and getting comfort in his coils "Go ahead and sleep big guy... You need it, and to be honest... I'm sleepy myself" You mumbled, finally getting into that perfect position and closing your eyes.

Robbie smiled gently and closed his eyes as well "Sleeep...goodd (Y/NNN)... Don't forrget... RRobbiee lovvess yoouu..."

You mumbled "I won't ever forget... love you too Robbie..." Finally, the both of you drifted off to sleep, not even caring that it was on the middle of the floor, you were both warm and cozy by the fireplace and dreaming peacefully.
