Chapter Text
Slug looked even more upset than usual now a days and he spent more and more time in his lab and often not eating. White Hat had noticed this change is in behavior almost immediately and had Utopianna keep an eye on him when he wasn't able too.
This behavior did bother him more as the days went on he became more violent and and grouchy; not to mention his body wasn't holding up on his lack of food. white was getting to his last straw with this behavior even 303 was warily of him and that meant it was getting really bad. White never had to get to this point with Slug before but he was prepared to to keep him and everyone in the manor safe.
So when he found himself at the door of the grouchy scientist he felt a bit better about what he was going to do. He grabbed the knob of the door and didn't find it surprising that the door was locked and he used a rather thin tendril to pick the lock and slowly push the door open the door to a lab that is darker and more eerie than usual. He walked in he wasn't scared just a little off put by the extreme change of the atmosphere. "Uh well I'm sorry to barge in and disrupt your work doctor but I need to talk to you about you recent behavior."
He got no reply aside from loud shuffling and quite whispers ;he knew it was him but his voice was off. He turned around the corner to find one of the worst things Slug has done in his lab. On his table laid a bunny that had clamps and tubs coming out of his chest as the doctor with bloody gloves and messy hair worked with shaky hands and quite curses to himself.
He was so engrossed in his 'work' he violently flinched when White touched his shoulder. His face was pale a sinking in as he looked up to his boos with pure horror. White thought he looked like a scared child the fear so pure and unbidden on his face he almost went to comfort him till he had to ground himself. "W-what is this Slug wha-what have you done? "He could see the gears turning till the doctor got caught up with reality and straightened up.
"What are you doing in m-my lab with out permission I didn't-" "Doctor I'm sorry- no I not sorry I your boss I came here to check up on you to find this. This is wrong what are you doing doctor." "G-get out I can't think- please just get out I-" "Dr. Slug I asked you a question." White didn't like the tone he had to use it was harsh but Slug has a dead animal on his table and has been neglecting to take care of himself and be come very dangerous to the others in the house so he had to get stern with him to get him cooperate then him must to keep everyone-to keep him safe.
"He won't wake up-fuck- he won't wake up." "He won't- what happened, who-" Before he could finish he look the the end of the table to see the collar it was black and it had the name 'blanc' on it and it had a small spot of blood on it. He look to the Doctor and his hands still shaking as he attempted to finish what he was doing in the bunny.
White stopped him and Slug was about to lash out till he crumbled into a heap and the only thing keeping his face from hitting the floor was was the awkward angle he was slouched against White hat's legs. He looked to the bunny; he moved to hug Slug. He could understand the whole situation with out another word, he lost his little bunny friend and he was tryouts no to get him back. White wasn't sure how but his doctor was falling apart. He knew he had a pet bunny for a while and he had to admit it was cute he he would treat the bunny in his private time when he was alone but he tried so hard to hide his little friend from us to keep up his scary facade but he knew he had the little bunny and how much he meant to him.
White pulled the Doctor into a warm hug his frame dwarfing him as White's head lay in his shoulder Slug was so out of it he couldn't push away nor could he hold his tears. He let his shaky hand rap around his back he clutched the fabric and let his body rest into him finding his own legs useless and this embrace the best thing he has experienced since Blanc died three weeks ago. He could barely keep his eyes open and he didn't remember when he fell asleep either. White let him cry before he siphon the left over energy out of him so his poor scientist to get some sleep.
He didn't like doing that but he knew the doctor wouldn't go to sleep tonight. He also didn't like what he was about to do after he got the doctor into his bed. He didn't like doing things like this but he couldn't see his poor scientist like this any more so he wrote on a piece of paper and once the deed was done he left the doctor to get some rest.
Slug woke up in a frenzy he had fallen asleep he had to help Blanc he couldn't rest when-
He froze when he was met with his little bunny alive nose twitching and in the safety of his cage. Slug almost didn't believe it till he saw the little letter with the white hat crest on it:
"Doctor I was very worried to find you in the state you were in and I had to get you friend back so here he is. I hope you can forgive me for intruding but please take care of yourself again I can't lose you
- White Hat”
