Really happy about Requests being open, this blog is AMAZING! Can I request some fluffy HCs about a Baalmon who finds a human child (like 4ish) and tries to return them only to find out their human family are abusive so he just goes "Whelp, I'm a Parent now I guess" and just starts raising the child himself?
Baalmon finding a 4 y/o child, he tries to return them but...
Humans got so easily lost. Especially small ones, like the one Baalmon was currently staring down at. They were so small, looking up at him with childish awe. Really, at first, he thinks of leaving the child alone. Someone else can guide them back to their home. But the moment the small human grabs his cloak he finds he can't leave them as they start to tear up some, for some reason trusting him immediately, like they knew him already. Alright. Fine. He'll do it, whatever.
He quietly picks them up, easily holding them with his lone hand, though unsure about what to fully do for a moment. He does notice how tightly they hold onto him, as if they're afraid in some way as he walks to return them. He can't quite get over how they hold him, keeping an eye on the child the closer they get to where he assumes they came from.
The second he notices the family, he becomes wary. There's something off, and he doesn't like the atmosphere they give off. He's not sure why he takes a more protective stance with the child in his arms, watching the family silently - something telling him to take a moment before he just drops them off. and that's when he takes notice of the abuse towards one of the family members from another, physical and verbal.
Alright. Scratch the idea of giving the child back. He's not going to let them grow in such a hostile environment, the mere thought of one of the older humans striking the child making his data boil as his grip on them tightens slightly. They're on the verge of tears, he can tell. They seem to loosen their own tight grip on him as he turns away from the home.
Okay. He knows NOTHING about children, but he's sure he'd be a better parent than whatever the hell that all was. Baalmon keeps the child so close to him, he hardly notices the protective scowl he wears as he holds them to him. Baalmon is a bit awkward for a moment, but quietly reassures the child that they'll be safe and protected by his side, and he won't let anyone harm them - not ever.
At least he knows there are Digimon he can go to in order to get help and ideas on how to raise a kid. How quickly he takes them under his wing, trying to raise them the best he can even if he's a bit distant with it at first as he doesn't know what he's doing... but the child always smiles at him and holds onto him so tightly when they spot him coming back from getting food or from a small job he had to do for another Digimon who pleaded to him. Baalmon tries to be as good of a father as he can be, always having his arm wrapped securely around the child when they drift off to sleep or when they refuse to stop hugging him, and keeping his promise that he would never let anyone lay a hand upon them, ever.
