crunchy chip with a s/o who has an incurable malady oneshot <3

it was a dark night.

no stars in the sky at all. just a pitch black void. the only light was the small purple lamps scattered along the castle grounds.

crunchy chip was out walking through the snowy forest, hoping to find someone that he could recruit to the cream wolves. it was a silly thought, how could he possibly find someone that would be willing? especially at this hour?

“oh well,” crunchy chip said to himself, “worth a shot anyway.”

he continued to walk through the dark forest, the only light being the moon, shining down brilliantly. the monsters seemed to be sleeping, so crunchy chip felt safe, especially so since his cream wolf was with him. until he heard something. he was on guard immediately, thinking it may be a beast, stirred awake by who knows what. as crunchy chip walked further into the forest, he finally discovered what it was. someone was… singing? why? why so late at night? and why in the middle of the forest? he had to investigate.

as he drew closer, he saw someone, sitting on a branch, singing a beautiful melody. who were they? huh??

they were sat in one of the highest branches of the trees, legs swinging gently. they were singing an old dark cacaoian campfire song, but there was something different about it. whoever this cookie is, they had managed to turn it from a hearty chant into one of the most beautiful songs crunchy chip had ever heard.

crunchy chip continued to listen to the song as he stood unnoticed in the snow. normally he would’ve started talking to the cookie, asking why they were out here in the middle night when it was cold & dangerous, but something told crunchy chip to continue listening.

but of course, misfortune had to fall upon him. he tripped over a tree root as he tried to get even a bit closer, causing the mysterious cookie to lose their balance on the tree branch & fall off.

thankfully though, crunchy chip had fast reflexes and caught them.

“woah! are you alright?” he asked.

“huh..? oh, yeah, i’m alright…” they replied slowly, spooked from what happened.

crunchy chip helped them out of his arms & onto the snowy ground.

“what are you doing out here all alone?” he questioned the cookie.

“couldn’t sleep.” was all that the cookie said.

“huh… what’s your name, if you don’t mind me asking?”

“it’s y/n… how about you?”

“i’m crunchy chip! captain of the cream wolves!” he answered with a grin.

“how noble…” you said, “what are you doing out here, captain crunchy chip? shouldn’t you be sleeping? i’m guessing you have much training to get done tomorrow…”

“oh! don’t worry about me!” crunchy chip laughed.

“ah, well… who knows training better than the one who takes part in it…” you said to him, a small smile appearing on your face.

“captain crunchy chip, may i ask you for a favour?” you suddenly asked.

“yes, what can i help you with?” he smiled.

“may you be able to walk me home..? i am afraid that i may be attacked by the beasts.”

“oh! of course! just lead the way!” he replied, beaming.

as the two of you walked, you got to know more & more about eachother. though, it was more that you got learn about crunchy chip than he got to learn about you.

you eventually got to your house, a small winter cottage on the edge of the forest. you thanked crunchy chip for his kindness & sent him off with a flask of coffee.

while he was in your house, waiting for the coffee (you had insisted he take it), he noticed bottles of medicine & other healthcare items scattered throughout your living room.

“if you don’t mind me asking,” he said, “what is all the medicine for? are you unwell?”

“oh, you don’t need to worry about that. i get sick sometimes, so i keep some medicine handy.” you told him, with a smile that, if you looked close enough, could tell that it was forced. you didn’t want to tell him the truth, since you had only just met him.

you handed crunchy chip the flask & soon, he was on his way.

over the coming weeks, you and crunchy chip grew close. oftentimes, you would trek through the snowy forests together, talking about anything & everything. you were a breath of fresh air to crunchy chip, a realisation that he doesn’t have to be serious 24/7. he was grateful for your company, and soon enough, he began falling in love with you.

everything about you drew him in. you were cheerful & weren’t serious about everything. you looked at life with a more happy approach, even though you lived in such harsh conditions that made up the dark cacao climate. you smile made him feel fuzzy inside. there was a part of him that felt that it was wrong, that he shouldn’t be feeling this way. he ignored it the best he could, and allowed himself to love you.

there was a problem though. how would he confess to you?! you were all crunchy chip could ever want! he didn’t want to potentially ruin the friendship the two of you had established. for days, he was kept awake at night with those thoughts, about your ‘inevitable’ rejection of him, and how you’d ignore him for the rest of time.

but alas, he couldn’t take it anymore. he had to tell you. so he organised a plan in his head. spring was just around the corner, so for a few days, the cherry blossom trees will bloom. crunchy chip decided that he would confess to you under one of these trees. but, he needed that final confidence boost to get himself to confess to you.

“caramel arrow cookie, may i ask you something..?” crunchy chip asked sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

“yes, is everything alright, crunchy chip?” caramel arrow questioned as she walked towards to target board to retrieve one of her arrows.

“well… uh…”

“just spit it out, crunchy chip.”

“right! well… i need help with something!”

“what do you… need help with?” caramel arrow asked, a confused look on her face.

“ithinkilikesomeonebutiamkindascaredtotellthemandidontknowwhatiwilldoiftheyrejectme-“

“hey, calm yourself down! repeat what you said, but slower.” interrupted caramel arrow.

“ok… i like someone, but i’m scared that they will reject me, since we’ve created such a deep bond…” crunchy chip begrudgingly said, his embarrassed blush growing stronger.

it grew even stronger when all he was met with was the sound of caramel arrow’s laugher.

“wha- huh?! why are you laughing, caramel arrow?!” he asked, with a mix of annoyance and embarrassment.

“don’t worry- ahaha… i’ll give you a little help.” she replied, once she stopped laughing.

(timeskip to mid-spring)

today was an extremely rare day in the dark cacao kingdom. the cherry blossoms were swaying in the soft wind and… the sun was shining. this hardly happened, so obviously everyone was happy to see it, even if they didn’t show it on their stoic faces. especially crunchy chip cookie.

“hey! hurry up or you’re gonna have y/n thinking that you want to embarrass them!” caramel arrow scolded.

“alright, alright! just lemme get a bit more gel…” crunchy chip replied, reaching for the tin.

“no!” caramel arrow quickly said, grabbing the tin, “you have enough! now get your boots on and get going! and tell me how it goes.”

crunchy chip put his boots on and walked out through the door of caramel arrow’s watchtower. he felt like butterflies were having a disco in his stomach, and he tried his best to ignore it.

i just hope y/n feels the same way… crunchy chip thought. he sighed at his fretfulness, focusing his sight on the small figure in the distance, who was standing by one of the biggest cherry blossom trees in the entire kingdom.

before he knew it, crunchy chip was standing beside said figure.

“crunchy chip! how are you? what did you want to speak to me about?” you smiled, making him flustered.

“well, you see…” crunchy chip began, reluctant to tell you the truth. until he remembered caramel arrow’s encouragement, “i like you. uhhh… romantically.”

he stared down on the ground, cheeks red & warm. well, until you took his hand in yours.

“i feel the same way.” you said softly, your eyes looking into his.

no way. no fucking way! crunchy chip thought. no… i must be dreaming! holy fuckkk… did i get knocked out during training & this is just a coping mechanism or something??? huh??? why would they… like me? i mean yeah, i’m the captain of the cream wolves… but me?! you could do so much better, y/n!

“uhh… crunchy chip? are you… alright?”

“oh! oh, sorry y/n!! i suppose i’m just a tad bit… surprised?” he apologised.

“don’t worry. but i must tell you something, crunchy chip, if you want to make this commitment.” you admitted, your happy face suddenly turning sad.

“what is it?”

you sighed, “you know my illnesses? that crop up sometimes? well, it isn’t a random thing. i actually have a illness that is slowly killing me. it is incurable, but my medication makes it slightly better. bareable, maybe.”

the look on crunchy chip’s face pained you nearly as much as your malady. the mix of upset, sympathy & slight betrayal was hard to look at.

“so, knowing that, do you still want to be with me?”

crunchy chip nodded.

“of course! why wouldn’t i?”

so, until long after the sun set, you and your new boyfriend stayed under the cherry blossom tree, talking about anything and everything. most people were fast asleep, dreaming peacefully. but caramel arrow was still awake, checking up on you & crunchy chip every once in a while through her watchtower window.

days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into a year. not a day went by were you weren’t with crunchy chip at some point. you brought him soup during training, he helped you take your medicine, and so on. and if the two of you weren’t too tired, you’d spend hours underneath the cherry blossom tree, no matter if it was a lively pink colour or nearly dead looking, looking up at the stars. you taught crunchy chip all the constellations you knew, and he did the same.

things started to get worse for you though. slowly but surely, you became more sickly & lacked the physical strength you had before. it wasn’t perfect to begin with of course, but it now was definitely not what it used to be. taking meds became harder, crunchy chip basically had to force them down your throat. you couldn’t visit him much, so oftentimes you didn’t see eachother for a few days. he deeply, deeply missed you, but finding an opening to take some time off to care for you was like finding a flower field in a desert. overtime you got to know to other members of the cream wolves, as crunchy chip had asked them to check on you when they could, and they happily agreed, willing to do anything for their captain.

***

“i’m sorry, captain crunchy chip, but y/n has passed away. i give you my condolences.” the doctor said, a frown of sadness on his face, before leaving, allowing your boyfriend to have some time to collect his thoughts.

as soon as the doctor had left, crunchy chip dropped to the floor, and began to sob. this kind of sadness was completely foreign to him. he had never been allowed to cry, to express any sort of intense negativity (except for anger against the forest beasts). he was loud with his crying but he didn’t give a damn.

soon, the time for the funeral came. at your request, it was kept simple. joss paper was burned to ensure a safe journey to the afterlife for you. some other items relating to your interests were burned, so they could follow you into the afterlife.

following that, your name was carved into the altar of the fallen. many people gave their condolences to crunchy chip, and his fellow cream wolves were by his side, offering comfort and support. king dark cacao praised crunchy chip on his ability to keep his composure, and he promised your boyfriend that you were in a better place now, and the people who had passed before you will keep you safe & keep you company.

although, that didn’t make crunchy chip feel much better. he had known this was coming, but nothing could’ve ever softened the blow. after the funeral was over, he went back home and broke down. nearly scream-sobbing, he begged to an empty room to bring you back, that he would do anything for you to be in his arms one more time, he even asked if he could be taken to the afterlife instead. he voiced his regrets of not seeing you more in your final weeks, that you must’ve been so lonely.

“please- fuck- if anyone is listening from the afterlife, i promise, i will do anything to bring them back. just please- i beg of you- bring my love back.” he sobbed, only to be met with silence.

i hope this is angsty enough… i really enjoyed writing this, even though it took so long. please forgive me for that. i looked up how chinese funerals are, because i believe that the dark cacao kingdom is based off of ancient china. if anything is inaccurate, please tell me! and thank you for this gorgeous request <3
