heket x oc

another trade with @creeperchild

—————

Sitting on a head of a gigantic mushroom sat a little white polar bear, picking the petals off a rose in his paws, muttering words to himself with lidded eyes, waiting for the first signs of the arrival of Lady Heket. He heard large stomping and muttering in the distance.

Freddy tossed the rose away and slid off the cap of the mushroom, landing onto the floor with a single thump. He walked over to where the noise was, seeing the mighty bishop of famine surrounded by follower guards, holding daggers in their hands, eyes on him.

Heket paced toward the follower with a ecstatic expression on her face, getting on her and opening her arms wide, if an embrace is what she wanted, an embrace is what she'll get!

The little bear dashed toward the bishop, arms spreading as far as they could go and leaped up, Heket catching him, hugging Freddy tightly while rocking him gently, caressing his smaller form.

After a few minutes, the bishop set him down and pat his head with one of her large claws, which was just about the size of his head. Heket lifted her claw back up, and into her robes, disappearing. Freddy looked up expectantly, grinning from ear to ear.

"You're back! You're back!" He jumped up and down, excitedly. "You're finally back, it felt like forever!"

Heket held her hand over her mouth and let out a giggle. "Yes, yes, I've been very busy. The season of winter is coming and
I'm making sure all of Anura is prepared.."

Freddy nodded, he understood the importance of protecting Anura. Maybe he could help with the preparations? The polar bear thought. Maybe Heket would appreciate it?

"Oh!" He looked up to meet the eyes of the toad. "May I help? I want to help Anura!"

Heket was lost in thought for a moment, taking a moment for his words to process. "Hm, yes, I suppose you could be of help. Anura needs all the help it can get." She answered quickly, Freddy shot an arm up and elbowed the air under it in victory with a silent 'yes!'.

"What could I do for you?"

Heket took a few seconds to respond. "The harvest. Fall is nearly over."

"Let's go, Let's go!" He said cheerfully, the toad nodded and took his hand in hers and the two descended down into the red glowing pentagram and ascended into another location, a large field with crops everywhere. Freddy rubbed his cloak clean and looked up at Heket.

His features showed confusion. "Where do I start?"

"Start at the left and make your way to the right. I'll help you out and show you how to do it." Once again, she grabbed his paw and they walked along the pathway to the left.

Heket pulled a watering can out from her robes and tapped Freddy's shoulder.

"First, lift the watering can like this." The bishop held the can upwards. "Then slowly tilt it downwards and make sure the plant gets a perfect amount, make sure it's not too much, though." Heket passed the watering can over to the polar bear.

Freddy did as she instructed, and carefully watered some of the crops, the soil turning into a rich brown color. He patted the dirt pridefully.

"That's it." Heket clapped her hands together. "My top gardeners couldn't have done it better themselves."

He blushed and cushioned the back of his head with his forearm and laughed awkwardly. He got back to work right after, his love watching him carefully as he watered the crops, pointing out any mistakes he might've made.

"Now, let me teach you how to harvest crops." The bishop kneeled down low, and carefully snapped the vine of the pumpkin and lifted it up, placing it in a bin nearby. He did exactly that.

"Good, good." Heket praised. "Let's do it together, shall we?"

Freddy nodded his head, going back to work and exchanged words, talking and learning more about each other with each passing moment, it felt like some kind of dream.

The left side has been tended to and with the help of a few other followers, the field was bursting with bountiful harvests and nutrient rich soil.

Heket scooped Freddy up with a big hug after they admired their hard work. She kissed him gently and pulled away after a minute or two. Freddy's mind was blank and he couldn't say a word. But he knew he was bursting with happiness and pulled Heket into yet another kiss. She set him down once the two had finished and looked down at him with eyes full of adoration.

The bishop of hunger smiled softly. "I love you."

A part of Freddy wasn't able to function and stutters flowed out his mouth until he finally managed to respond.

"I love you too, Lady Heket."
