Drabble || Chaliophobia
Out of everything in the world Patty never thought she would ever be afraid of something as common as a carpet. It wasn't entirely a fear of carpets but more so that the decoration made her nervous and caused her stress. She wasn't sure if this was what someone would call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but it sure sounded like it could be.
While the uneasy feeling she got from carpets had a reason, Patty felt like she really shouldn't be this nervous around them. After all, it were the guards that wrapped her in the carpet. It wasn't as if the carpet rolled up on her by itself and hung her from the ceiling.
Yet every time she went into someone's home or into an inn that had any type of area rug or carpet Patty would have to step around it rather than on it. She simply didn't like being anywhere near them. Her ship didn't have a single carpet on it and even when she found carpet made of valuable material she'd leave it rather than take it.
Sure people could make fun of the fear she had of carpets however what she thought was that once people knew what caused it they couldn't blame her for being scared of them. Right?
Of course Patty then remembered how even after seeing first hand why she was so nervous around carpets, Yuri still teased her about it and on rare occasions wrapped her in one. She knew with Yuri he was just doing it to get at her and didn't mean any harm but every time she sees him she still unconscious looks him over for a carpet...
