Mothgirl (with family)

I get the feeling that humans don't like me. I only want to make some friends, is that too much to ask for? Instead, they throw things at me, and call me bad names. But, I look so much like them! Why do they hate me so much?

I'm all alone in this forest. There isn't much to do, other than watch the little animals pass by. But, they run away whenever I try to pet them. What good are they?

Will I ever find a friend? I've almost lost hope!

But, there has been someone on my mind for quite some time now. There's a small, moss-covered log cabin, deep inside of the forest. A very nice man lives there. At least, that's what I think.

He works very hard, and the animals of the forest look very happy when they're around him.

One night, I saw him cooking something in a pot over a campfire. The light was so pretty. I swallowed my fear, and flew over to him.

“H-hello.”

He looked at me with strange eyes. “Why, hello! Who is it that I am talking to?”

“W-well, I don’t really have a name…”

“Are you lost?”

“L-lost in you, y-yes.”

“I’m sorry, little lady. Would you mind repeating that?”

“I-I’m lost in y-you, s-sir.” I could feel my heart pounding, and my knees shaking. Please don’t hate me, sir.

“You sound a little weak. Here, have some food, and we’ll try again when you’ve got your strength back.” He poured me a bowl of soup, and blew on it a little. “Go on, take it.”

I took the bowl from him, trying my best to keep my hands still. I took a sip from the bowl, and burned my tongue. “It’s dewicious!”

 “Why thank you, little lady!” He smiled. His smile made me feel all giddy, I couldn’t help but smile back at him with my tongue sticking out. “Now, would you mind telling me what such a sweet young thing is doing in such a scary place?”

I took a deep breath, and yelled, “I’m really lost in you!” In response, he gave me a confused look. “D-did I say something wrong?”

“Ma’am, are you… sweet-talking me?”

“I like sweets, yes.”

“No, I mean, are you trying to hint at something?”

“I’m trying to hint at a lot of things!”

“O-oh. Ma’am, I don’t think someone like you should be saying those kinds of things.”

“B-but I really like you!”

“Now, you should really think this through, young lady.”

“I think I’ve done enough thinking.” I walked over to him, and gave him a hug, and pressed my breasts against his arm. My wings fluttered with excitement. “I really want to know what you think of me, though.”

“Well, I... ack!” He coughed a little.

My heart sunk. “A-are you ok?!”

“Yeah, I think it was just a bug. Anyway, I don’t think I can turn a lady like you down.”

“R-Really?!”

“You’ve got guts, ma’am. I like that in a lady.” He led me inside his cabin, and we were quickly wrapped around each other on a small cot. “Ma’am, would you mind removing your clothes?”

“Clothes? I’m not wearing any clothes, sir.”

“Then, all of this fuzz…”

“Is something wrong?”

“What exactly are you, ma’am?”

“What do you mean? Can’t you see?”

“My vision is pretty bad, ma’am.”

“Well, I’m… erm…”

“Haven’t shaved in a while?”

“Y-yes! That’s it!”

“Don’t worry about it, ma’am. I won’t let something like that ruin your day.”

After that, I could barely remember what happened. I remember him touching me, and taking off his pants. When I came to, I was really hot, and my stomach felt really warm. We were looking at each other, smiling, and then he fell asleep. The next day, my stomach was a little swollen, and I couldn’t stop thinking about my new husband. Whenever he went out, I clung to his arm, nuzzling my head against his shoulder. One day, he asked me why I was acting so clingy.

I told him, “Because you’re prettier than the sun.” He didn’t understand what I meant, but he laughed and smiled anyway. I couldn’t wait to raise a family with such a fine man.

A few days later, I asked him to put his ear against my stomach. "Can you hear it?"

"Yeah. You're gonna be a mother soon, honey."

"Are you going to be a father?"

"Of course." He kissed my belly, and gave me his trademark smile.

When it was time to birth the child, he held my hand through the whole ordeal. It hurt quite a bit! But, when it was all over, and I held my child in my arms for the first time, I felt...

Well, I'm not sure how to describe it. It felt like something between happy, and relieved.

We would have several other children after that. They would play tag, fly aimlessly through the air, and talk their father into telling them stories. My husband cooked our meals, since I was too clumsy to handle being a chef.

One day, he brought me to town so we could go shopping together. He was stopped by one of the guards.

"Sir, are you aware of the monster that is following you?"

"Haha! She's a monster, alright! Unfortunately for you, she's taken."

The guard stood silent, and eventually let us through.

I could hear the townspeople gossiping around us. "Has the ex-general gone mad?", "No, I think he's been brainwashed.", "What is he doing with that monster?"

My husband looked angry. Eventually, he turned around, raised his hands, and shouted, "The girl I choose to love is my own damn business, you idiots!"

With that, the town stood in awe. After a bit of shopping, we returned home to our children, who were surrounded by a herd of townspeople.

"Please, marry my son!", "No, marry mine!"

One of my daughters walked up to me, and asked, "Mama, what's happening?"

My husband gave an answer before I could. "Change, sweetie. Change."
