The claw
Todd was clearing out his garage when he heard a crash coming from inside his home. His face grimaced, knowing right away it was his dumbass fluffy “Leaf” getting into trouble with the official fluffy Co. foam ball Leaf was begging to play with. The fucking thing was supposed to be “fluffy safe”.
Todd thought the idea of a fluffy would be a cute way to fill the void after his old cat Whiskers passed away but it had quickly become tiresome. It was far too needy for his liking compared to good ol whiskers. If whiskers was around, any fluffy on his property wouldve been mince meat on day 1.
“Well, time to go dicipline the little shit machine.” Todd said to himself as he took out a black glove from his pocket and put it on, making his way back into the house.
Leaf was currently tapping his front hooves nervously as he looked back and forth between the broken vase in front of him and the bad pee pees behind him. How could this have gone so wrong? He was just have the bestest day ever!
Daddy let him play with his ball. By complete accident, leaf figured out if he bucked backwards, the ball could go further than he was ever able to kick it before! He was having so much fun seeing how far he could make it go. But it bounced off a chair and right into the pretty flowers, they crashed down with a terrible noise that scared the pee pees out of him.
Leaf was filled with dread as he realized he was going to be punished for his carelessness!
“huu huu, weaf huwt pwetty fwowas an make bad peepees. huuhuu”
Just then Leaf heard the sounds of a door opening.
“Daddehhhh!!”
Leafs head snapped turning toward the door and ran off looking for comfort.
“huu huu daddy! weaf hab accident and be bad fwuffy! hewp! hewp!”
Todd took the sight before him keeping one hand hidden in his pocket. His fluffy was clearly distressed and clumisly making his way toward him. Beyond Leaf he could see a shattered vase, some scattered flowers, and what was obvoiusly a small puddle of piss. Clearly the little bastard kicked the ball hard enough to knock it over.
He took a deep breath and prepared his usual behavioral modification technique.
“Oh no! Come to daddy leaf, before the claw shows up!”
Leafs face contorted with worry as his little fluffy legs scrambled faster than ever before. He practically leaped into his daddy who caught him with one arm and huddled him tight.
Leaf whimpered for a bit as Todd kept slowly rocked him.
“Dont worry little guy, well be safe here. There There” Todd said despite having not moved atall from where caught his fluffy.
Leaf had buried his shivering face in the nook of Todds arm, hugging his daddy with all his might. Todds soothing words and strokes slowly calmed leaf down.
“weawwy? weaf nu get huwties fwom da cwaw? huu huu weaf no mean to be bad.”
“I know you didnt mean to little guy. And youre in luck, it doesnt seem like hes coming this time bud. I think you got away with it!” Todd said in a positive tone.
Leaf popped his head out before giving a sniffle. “tank ou daddy, weaf wub cuddwes wit daddy”
Snuggling back in tight, leaf slowly rested his head back into Todds arm. He was all tuckered out from his adreneline rush and wanted to hold his daddy tight forever.
OH NO, WATCH OUT LEAF, ITS THE CLAW!!!
Todds outburst nearly gave leaf a heart attack as he jolted back to alertness and snapped his head around coming face to face with todds hand in a black glove with two goofy ass googly eyes glued to his knuckles. To leaf, it was a visage that haunted his worst nightmares.
“BAD FLUFFIES GET BAD HURTIES LEAF!” Todd hissed as he flapped his fingers to match his words. He was using his “The Claw” voice which was a semi impressive impersonation of the green goblin from the first sam raimi spiderman movie.
“SCREEE— nuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUU!”
Leaf tried to turn away back to his daddy but before he could “The Claw” snapped at him and held his face/snout in place, preventing him from turning around. He was actually using a pretty gentle touch as it doesnt require much force to immobilize a fluffy, but to leaf it may have well been a vicegrip.
“DAddddyy!!! HEEWWWWPPP”
“OH NO LEAF, I CANT HELP YOU, THE CLAW HAS ME TOO! AHHHHHH”
“WAAAAAAAAAA-” leaf freaked out instantly accepting the obvious ruse
“YOUVE BEEN A BAD FLUFFY LEAF. I KNOW YOU BROKE THE VASE, YOU KILLED THE FLOWERS, AND YOU PISSED ON A NICE CARPET YOU ROTTEN PIECE OF TRASH! YOULL PAY FOR THIS”
“NUUUU- SCREEeeeEEEeeeEE”
The claw released its grip and quickly flicked leaf in his eyes, gentle enough not to damage them permanently but only temporarily blur his vision. Leaf felt his world flip upside down as he was place on his back and the claw rubbed the fluffy all over just hard enough to hurt.
The black glove was made of rubber and felt very uncomfortable to his fluff. Fluffies felt best against something fluffy or a human touch. The course rubber glove was irritating and pulled out fluff with friction. Against his soft belly, his delicate chest, and worst of his all, fragile little no-nos. It was pure agony as leaf violently kicked out in a futile attempt to get distance from his torment.
“owiiiie owie huu huuu, pws hewp fwuffy hewwwwwp! huwties!! huwites!!! huu huu, nu wan NUWAN!!!”
Leafs vision was still gray and fuzzy, he was looking at the ceiling since he was on his back, unable to flip due to the claw holding in place. He felt a sharp pinch in his ear, then his neck skin, his rump, the skin on his back left leg and tail.
Leaf writhed as more pinches peppered his poor fluffy hide all over, no matter how he tried to wriggle, nothing was stopping the onslaught to his delicate flesh. His vision was finally clearing up when todd pushed “the claw” right up to his face, so his pinned fluffy was mere centimeters away from staring into “the claws” googly eyes.
“NOW IM GONNA NUM YOU UP! IM GONNA CHEW YOU UP AND SPIT OUT YOUR BONES! YOURE DEAD, YOURE DEAD, YOURE DEAAAAAAAAAAAD”
Leaf had never been more afraid then he was now. All he could do was scream as he watched “the claw” rise up, open wide and come down upon him.
“NUUUUUUUUUUUU-”
Todd grabbed his fluffy by the face and closed his hand completely around his head, almost completely engulfing it. Leaf couldnt see anything as darkness surrounded him. He was silenced as he couldnt even breathe. The rough texture of the glove was hurting his face all over. The unfamiliar chemical smell of rubber scared him as it completely hid the comforting scent of daddy. Todd was gently squeezing as he felt his fluffy start to wriggle less and less.
“Ill save you Leaf!” he said in his normal voice before quickly releasing his grip and letting leaf flop over to his side and catch his breath. he quickly removed the glove and put it in his pocket as leaf lay on his side breathing heavily.
As leaf caught his breath he started to peep and cheap pathetically. peep cheep cheep dadddddeehh peeep cheep
Todd picked up his fluffy and began stroking him gently and holding him close to his chest.
“there there, ‘the claw’ is gone now. he wont be back unless there are any bad fluffies around”
“huu huuu huuu, tank ou daddeh, tank ooouuuuhuuu huu huuhuu, weaf su sawwy, nu mean tu be bad fwuffy!!! weaf wan be gud! weaf awawys use wittah bawks an be cawfuw wen pwawin! huu huuu”
clutching his daddy tight, leaf sobbed as Todd stroked him. Before long leaf was out like a light sucking his hoof pathetically, completely exhausted from his outburst.
Todd carried leaf to a ragged old bed that had “Mr Whiskers” sewn into the front. He gently placed him down and stared into the sleeping fluffys peacful face. Bringing his lips close to the sleeping fluffy, he put on his green goblin voice and harshley whispered into leafs ear
“BAD FLUFFIES GET HURTIES LEAF!”
Leafs peaceful sleeping face contorted into one of fear and panic, but he did not wake. His peaceful comforting dreams of daddy turned to abject terror as daddys eyes turned into fierce googly eyes, and his body broke apart into 5 horrifiyng black appendages.
Todd walked away to clean up the mess as Leafs little legs were feebly running in place as tears ran down his sleeping panicked face. Too quietly to be heard, leaf uttered in his sleep
“…daddeh”
