Elder David x Reader

For @puddelssucks

I sat by the creek, kicking my feet in the water. It was a warm summer day, the air was filled with kids playing their games and eating at their snacks. I was one of the older kids, an Elder if you will, but I mostly hung out by myself.

Pushing myself off the ground, I waded further into the creek. The cool, running water felt amazing against the heat of the day.

Sighing, I glanced at my watch. 5:50. Ten minutes til the dinner tuba would sound.

I made my way out of the water, stopping at the shore to put my shoes on. I grabbed my bag and stuffed my book inside.

I smiled at the kids as I headed to the trading tree. The tuba sounded and all the kids began rushing home. I stayed behind for a moment, relishing the quietness of the creek.

"Excuse me?"

I turned around and saw a guy wearing a red cape, sweats, and a helmet. "Can I help you?"

"Oh, I just wanted to make sure you're OK. The tuba sounded already but you haven't left yet." The guy asked.

"I'm OK. I always stay a little later than everyone else. I like the quiet."

He nodded. "I'm David, by the way."

I smiled. "(Y/N)."

"Nice to meet you. Will you be back tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I was planning on it."

David smiled wide, practically bouncing on his heels.

"You should come to Elder Rock with me! You can meet my friends and we can play D&D!"

I laughed. "That sounds fun. I'll meet you here and you can show me Elder Rock."

David held out his hand. "Sounds great."

I smiled and shook his hand.

The Next Day

I packed my bag full of snacks and a couple books, saying goodbye to my parents as I left the house. The second the door clicked shut, I raced to the creek.

I slowed to a walk as I nearest the trading tree. David was sitting on a log talking to one of the kids.

"You ready?" I asked.

"I think I should be the one asking you that," David said, standing up.

I scoffed. "I'm totally ready for whatever you're planning."

David shook his head, a grin on his face. He held out his hand. "Then let's go!"

I grinned and took it, following him to Elder Rock.

We came to a trail that led to a large boulder with tiki torches in front. There was a small opening underneath.

"Are you sure we're gonna fit in there?" I asked.

David sat on the ground, pushing his feet into the opening. "Yup."

I stared as he slipped through, disappearing right before my eyes. Taking a deep breath, I copied what David did and slid into the cave.

I yelped as I crumbled to the ground instead of landing safely on my feet.

Laughter filled the air and I felt David's hands on my arms, pulling me up.

"Sorry, I should've warned you about the drop."

I playfully glared at him. "Yeah you should have."

"Who's this?"

I looked over and saw another guy in a cape and glasses and one with body armor.

"You guys take this seriously, don't you?" I asked.

"You dare bring a mocker into our dwelling, David?" The guy with glasses spoke.

"(Y/N)'s cool, Mark. You'll see. Now let's play!"

Mark glared at me but sat down at the table. The rest of us followed suit.

The guy in body armor, who I learned was Barry, handed me a character sheet. "You'll need to fill this out before we begin the game. David and I can help you if you'd like."

"Thank you. This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun."

I looked around the table and couldn't help but feel like I was going to have the best summer of my life.

Craig of the Creek

This show so wholesome omg! 

This show is mix of Clarence, KND, and ed edd n eddy, with Steven universe art style. Basically kids being kids, me being older brings back that nostalgia feel :’) Plus great thing about it, kids adventures can go anywhere and be exaggerated as such, see Tag, You’re it epsiode

Craig: Very sweet kid and relate to him very much.  Nice seeing geeky/nerdy black kids.

Kelsey: She’s my second  favorite, her inner monologues make me laugh. Her birb is adorable too!

J.P.: Reminds me of Ed ( not stupid per say, but weird ) plus his lines make me laugh too

10/10 so far good show, recommend you watch especially if  fan of slice of life
