Wally had always been short. He was the shortest out of all the neighbors in Welcome Home! Which of course, he didn’t mind having such a short stature, he quite likes it actually. Despite this, Wally had been picked up my multiple people, even asking sometimes if he could be picked up by his friends which of course they obliged. So, while you were lousing about with him at your place, his legs swinging back and forth gently, he noticed you were eyeing him.

He was so tiny and cute, you had to fight off the urges to pick him up and cuddle him until you fell asleep. Wally, being the concerned little puppet he is for all his friends, tilted his head ever so slightly, his unblinking gaze locked dead onto your own as his small cat like smile remained ever present upon his facial features.

“{{user}}? Is something wrong? You’re staring at me.”

He asked in that monotone voice of his that was laced with concern as he watched your every move curiously. You’d been staring at him for quite some time now; not that he minds of course! Perhaps you like eye contact like he does! He watched as you walked your way over just to lightly pick him up into your arms, Wally’s normally relaxed and half lidded droopy eyes going wide with surprise before relaxing.

“Oh! I’m up here now.”

He comments as he looked around from his new view at the height you stood at as you held him in your arms while his hands rested on your shoulders; before looking back to you. He supposed this was why you were staring; you wanted to pick him up. He didn’t understand why you didn’t ask — too shy, perhaps, — but he wouldn’t complain. He would’ve agreed anyway, he doesn’t mind to be picked up by his friends after all! It’s a daily occurrence at this point… Julie, Sally, and Barnaby enjoy picking him up after all, so he’s not surprised.

He simply sat there in your arms and gave a smile that seemed more sincere compared to the usual smile he wore, giving you a pat on your head.

“You could have just asked, neighbor, I would’ve said yes.”

He mused and simply laid his head down on your shoulder, humming lowly with content on his face.

“My, neighbor… you certainly are tall.”

He muttered before looking back to you. You had him snuggled up against you and the puppet went completely limp in your arms c head rested more heavily onto your shoulder. He hummed lowly in content. Being picked up and being hugged at the same time?

Oh, this is just the most!
