The tree and its branch | Gyro

I would crave a Gyro x shy/sensitive childish fem reader, huge size difference reader is 5'1 and Gyro is 7'6 and reader has a stuffed frog named twig and they go to a fancy restaurant (rich boi Gyro) and maybe reader is getting made fun of by some parents and one of the kids trys to grab her frog? So Gyro just snaps and after getting her toy back he grabs her and storms out, and when they get home he throws her on the couch or bed that has a hole bunch of her stuffed animals.  -A request from a frequent person on Tumblr


"Im bored" you rolled over your 100 and one stuffed plushies on your bed.


"Thats why we're going out" Gyro reminded you. He'd made dinner reservations to some fancy place Johnny and Diego had went too once. Surprisingly Diego had,for better terms, calmed down  after the race. He was still the same bastard Gyro knew and hated but he was less of a bastard and more like that annoying cousin that you don't really get along with.


"Oh yeah we are....where are we going again?"


"I won't lie, I honestly don't even know how to pronounce the name," he took a comb to his hair,"I know the name,I just can't remember how it's pronounced"


"Mhm makes sense, is it French?" You looked at yourself in the mirror, you show probably shower first then fix your hair.


"Maybe? It was Lé Ti- something"


"Hm, I guess we'll find out once we get there" you yawned and made your way into the bathroom for a quick shower. Afterwards you and your battled each for dominance for about an hour or two. You were scard and tired but not defeated! With your hair finally tamed you could finally slip on your winter dress!


It was a long,gray,wool dress that reached your knees. It had a fluffy hood to protect your head from the snow and had a bit of a turtle neck to protect against the wind. It even had pockets! The deep keep! You could fit an entire Baggette in them if you wanted too! This was by far,your favorite dress!


You didn't bother putting any make up, you hates the 'caked up' feeling you got when ever you tried, so you just settled for some red chapstick.


"Man my arm is tired, I kind of want to go back to sleep" You loved your bed, even if you had to share it with a certain boyfriend who liked to sleep like a mad man.


"Well don't you look all pretty?"


"You saying I don't like pretty all the time?" You stood up after putting your snow boots on.


"Most of the time you look like you stuck your finger in an electric outlet but I like it, Its very attractive"


You laughed,"You have such a way with words, I'm swooning! My heart beats like humming bird! I fear I faint" you dramatically put your wrist to your forhead.


"My lady, do not fret! I shall be hear to catch thy weak body in my strong arms! Together we shall dance these feeling away" he smoothed his cheek to yours, his beard tickled your face.


"Please!! Gyrohohoho! It tickles! Stahahahap!" You were going to pee yourself if he kept this up!


"Ew,don't do that besides, it's about time we left," Gyro checked his pocket watch


"Are we taking the car or Val?" Alot of places had spots for horses to rest and relax while the owners were in the store, restaurants were no exception to this rule!


"I haven't taken Val out to town in a hot minute, if you're OK with being cold we can just ride her" He grabbed his wallet and hat


"I dont mind,iv got alot fluff to keep me warm, plus  iv got you~"


He grinned at your sweet attempt at flirting,"I'll keep you warm all night if you me too"


You laughed,"Depends on my mood" once outside you enjoyed the sharp wind and gray sky. The town was lit up In a golden hue as the sun set.


"So how drunk would I have to get you to be in a better mood?"


"None cause im drunk off you,darling"


"Phahha!  That's a good one!!!" He left to bring Valkari out and saddle her up while you waited on the porch. In you arms sat your small frog plushie, you hadn't even noticed you'd grabbed it!


'I wonder,should I bring twig or not?' This was some sort of fancy restaurant so bringing an entire stuffed animal probably wasn't the best idea but....


"Your mare,my lady"


"Hey,Val," you kissed the horses nose and she lipped at your shoulder,"awww thank you for the kiss"


"Got everything?" He asked,double checking himself,"Your bringing Twig?"


"Is there a problem?" You asked defensively.


"Nope, its cute!"


"Im not cute"


"You come up the my chin,short stuff,your cute now shut up and get on Valkari before our table is gone"


"Im coming,hold your horses",He helped you up onto his horses back,"Such a gentleman ~" and you both rode off into town.


It was a nice,snowy night, the wind wasn't as bad as it usually so your fave wasn't cold but the way the light reflected off the snow was absolutely memorizing. You rested your head on Gyros back and brush Twigs cubby little leg,"this is nice..."


"Mhm"


It was beautiful scenery that mad you glade to be alive. Once Valkari trotted into town the warm glow of homes and shops exploded! Family's by the doze walked down the icy pavement as a few cars cruised by. There were more horses here than cars so you had to watch your step.


"Its really pretty outside tonight"


"Better than usual" he agreed, it was a nice kind chill, the wind nipped at his face softly as the restaurant came into view. There were a few cars sitting in the parking lot and a large stable in the back where a few horses rested comfortably. It had been installed with a heater and blankets to stave off the cold.


"Here we are, damn this place is alot more fancy than I remember" he took his grills out and put them in his pocket,hopfully they wouldn't taste like lint.


"Isn't this that super fancy place where that one famous chef comes and cooks?" You asked as Gyro helped you down from Valkaris back,"Woah,careful!" The snow was a bit uneven,making it hard to keep a steady foot.


"Thanks,oh wow, I didn't think it would be this nice on the inside" the floor was made of white marble along with the many beautifully sculptured pillars that held the building up. There was a small water fountain with smooth carved statues. The female statues were dressed in silks as they looked out onto the guests. In the back there was a small orchestra and stage where a lovely Albino woman sang softly into the mic. The gentle 'tsking' of a drums cymbals and rumble of a saxophone gave a peaceful ambiance that really made you sleepy.


"Yeah me too,Hi we've got a Reservation"


The man at the desk looked at his pocket watch then looked at the small notepad,"Ah Mr and Miss Zepplie?"


"Thats us"


"Right this way," he swapped spots with another employee and guided you to a small table in the back near a large massive window. A large family was quietly eating across from your shared table. It gave a large view of the city park. The town had gone out and covered the trees and bushes with lights and ornaments.


"I'll grab your menus" the host said as Gyro pulled out your seat.


"Thank you" you smiled and looked out the window, you weren't uses to lavish places like this,"I wish I could take a picture of this" it was a beautiful sight, frost was growing ever so slowly in the form of delicate patters and swirls on the window  before melting from the heat inside the restaurant which would eventually cool into frost once again.


"Mhm" He'd stealthy taken a picture of you looking out the window, Twig sitting in the windowsill and you gently rubbing your finger on its head. He liked seeing how peaceful you looked when you thought he wasnt paying attention.


"Here you are,would you care for anything to drink?" The waiter hands you both small menus. The writing was in gold ink on black paper, they even had it in brail!


"The house special wine for me" Gyro looked at the menu, everything looked.... fancy? He wasn't sure how to word it.


"Ah, just water for me and um what does this soup taste like?" You pointed to the last item on the menu.


"Ah,you have good taste!" He looked around for a moment, then leaned down a bit closer than usual, "Dont get the large one it's the exact same size as the medium,save your money and go for the small one"


"Oh!"


"As for taste I'd have to say its a very rich a creamy soup, perfect for keeping warm,just don't let them add the onions, it ruins the dish" he made a face.


"Sounds like you know from experience" Gyro snorted, teasing the younger man.


"Unfortunately, the crunch just throws everything off, it's soup! The only crunchy thing near it should be crackers!"


You snickered at how offended the man sounded,"then I'll have this,without the onions"


"And I'll have a stake"


"Understood,I'll be back in just a moment" he took your menus and left for the kitchen.


"Mmm, what should we do after this? Should I drive us back?"


"What? I can ride Val, besides it takes alot more to get me drunk!"


"Thats a lie but I'll believe it for now, Besides you know how you get after big meals"


"Dont you dare-" he bristled


"You get all sleepy and start complaining so I have to take care of you"


"That happened one time in California"


"And it happened again after we settled down, and again and again! Which is actually pretty cute,I won't lie"


"___, I'm not cute"


You hummed,"whatever you say"


Your waiter had came back with two glasses on his tray,"The house special and a glass of water,your plates should be almost done"


You both thanked him as you muched a bread roll and sipped your water,"Oh shoot did I grab my phone?" You moved twig from the window and sat him on the edge of the table as you dug through your purse,"phone,phone where are you?" You dug around for it and accidentally knocked Twig off the table. Out of sheer reflexes you accidentally kicked it,forgetting you weren't at home and couldn't grab things with your leg and feet anymore.


"Mama, look at this ugly toy!" The family's daughter that had been sitting across from you had picked twig up.


"Anglia,put that thing down,who knows where its been" the mother was an old,Hispanic woman with slat and pepper hair.


"Ah actually that would be mine,may I have it back?" You held out your hand.


"No! It's mine!" She had to have been at least 12 or younger. You trying not to snap but you really didn't like it when someone else held Twig,especially someone you didn't know.


"Leave that man's daughter alone" the mother seemed genuinely unphased and annoyed.


"Ma'am,I'm not his daughter, I'm his wife"


"Aren't you a bit to be playing with toys? I just assumed you were his child" she took a sip of her wine,the father was looking at his phone and writing things down,completely oblivious to what was happening.


"Ma'am please,I just want Twig back" her kid was currently twisting its head and arm,pulling at Twigs eyes and you were so close- So close to snapping.


"Its just a toy,why can't you just get a new one?"


"Twig is not a toy lady" you'd just about reached your limit.


"Who are you rasing your voice at girl?"


"You and you snotty ass kid obviously" Gyro had just about and snatched Twig from the child's hand,"teach your kid some manners or someone else will"


"Mama!"


"You listen here,my husband works-"


"I dont give a shit who your husband works for,he can't even be bothered to raise his own kid, no wonder she's a little shit!"


"Is there a problem?" Ah the waiter had come back with your food. And all eyes were on you,oh no.


You grabbed onto Gyros hand,"Can we just go? I don't feel like eating anymore" you didn't want to be here anymore, you could feel everyone's stares on your back and the muttering had increased ten fold.


"Yeah,can we get a to go box?" You could tell he was about five seconds away from really causing a scene.


It didn't take before your host had came back with the to go containers,Gyro paied for held the food in one hand and your in the other.


"Control your fucking kid, bitch" and he quite literally spat at her plate,directly on the spoon she was just about to put in her mouth.


"You vile,disgusting-" Neither of you stuck around that to hear it.


"I'll grab Valkari,you wait here and-"


You walked with him to the stables,"lets go,its gotten windy"


Fixing his hat Gyro helped you back onto his horses back,he could see how badly the situation had effected you. You'd had Twig for a very long time and to see it be so mistreated must have hurt dearly.


'I knew I should have stepped in the moment that little shit grabbed her frog' but you told him months ago that you had wanted to fight your own battles instead of running away or hiding behind someone, so he didn't say anything.


He let you carry the food in as he shooed his beloved horse back to field to graze and relax. Inside the house the air was cold and stagnate,it held none of the soul warming feeling like it usually did. To say the house was a reflection of your emotional state was an understatement. There no music playing,no background sounds of the T.v or radio,it was just quiet.


He sighed,what was he going to do? You'd already left for the bedroom, stripping out of your cloths as you did so and leaving a trail. He took upon himself to just go ahead and fold them. As he did he looked at the small rabbit, sheep and other plushies that made up their home on the couch.


"Lets go make your mama happy" was it a bit weird he called you a mom to your stuffed animals? A bit, but you looked like you could really use some love right about now. Making his way upstairs with an armfull of you plushies Gyro hovered over you and drowned you with them.


"...why do people act like that?" You asked,Grabbing your patchwork rabbit.


"Probably because her marriage sucks and her husband is cheating on her with his secretary, misery loves company you know?"


"Pft! Oh my gosh! That's horrible!" You snorted, How did he always manage to come up with such creative comebacks,"Hmh, I'd like your company any day" you scooted backwards and used Gyros arm as a blanket,he always manages to run hot some how.


"Mmhm" he dragged his hand up and down your thigh, it felt nice, having him hear always brightened your mood....usually. But that lady's comment was so buzzin around in your head,"so thinking about that old bitch?"


"Yeah, I wish I could forget...Gyro?"


He sat your plushies of to the side one by one.He grabbed Twig and gently placed it on the night stand. Then took a twisty and start to pull his hair back,"aw darling don't worry,I'll help you forget..." he looked away from your already flushed face and looked twig in his beady little eyes, grabbed its head and turned it around.


There,much better~


"I never did get to finish eating, you'll have to do, ____" He grinned and wrapped your legs around his head. This was much better than his stake,by far.
