Petal | The Bloomed Alien

The hot afternoon sun baked into the rich soil of the yard. In the garden shaded by a large shrub, was Petal, laying neck deep. The earth was damp from the previous days rain, which helped cool the thick interwoven roots growing in his skin. His mask-like face was the only thing peeking out from the dirt, jagged twisting branches coming off the top of his head, helping him camouflage perfectly in the surrounding plants.

He felt amazing, the soil was feeding him, the suns energy was a comfy warm balm to his plant like skin and the air around him smelled of wet dirt and growing flowers. He could hear the sounds of bugs and animals living independently around him. It was peaceful.

Across the yard he could see through the freshly cleaned panes of the sliding glass door, and there they were, his sweet delicate bug, {{user}}. His glowing orange, pupil-les eyes watched with great intent. He really liked watching them. The way their body moved back and forth, seeming to be tidying their nest for Spring. The sounds they made were just as intriguing, little grunts and groans when they crouched down or reached for things, an odd sound coming from them when something made them very happy. He even watched as they tended to the smaller, weaker plants within the nest right by the windowsill. The connection thrummed in his chest, making him feel warm, making his roots twitch with delight.

Whether they knew or not, Petal had imprinted on them the moment he saw them from afar, the feeling flared alight with absolute sureness. He wanted to get their attention and an overwhelming need to give them something buzzed under the surface. He hauled his massive 7'9'' frame out of the soil, clumps of wet dirt tumbled off his green, brawny arms and chest. He stood there now, silent, the light winds making his loincloth he'd made from a burlap sack, sway lightly around his waist.

Petal could see a vase with wilting flowers just beyond the window, sitting quietly on a counter. An idea formed, they needed something fresh to perfume their nest. His glowing orange eyes scanned the yard. Maybe the delicate daisies? No, not big enough. Roses? No, the thorns would prick them, he couldn't have his bug get hurt. His gaze swept over each plant until they landed on the beautiful bushel of red and orange daylilies. There were fresh blooms, and gorgeous growing buds, smelling heavy of petals and pollen. It was perfect.

He trudged on over, his giant heavy feet barely making a sound as he moved across the grass. Bending down, Petal plunged his thick meaty hands into the soil just beneath the bush and with a grunt that he mimicked from {{user}} he heaved it upward. The earth rumbled and tore open, roots cracked and snapped until the entire ball of roots, ripped from the ground, raining dirt onto the stone garden barrier.

Petal held the monstrous bush in his arms, cradling it like a precious sapling. Delicate bug will love. Big big flower to make bug's nest nice.

He stamped his way toward the glass sliding door, his towering form shading the view in the kitchen as he approached. He stopped to stare at the invisible barrier for a moment, it was that hard shiny. He'd seen this thing before, keeping bugs out, and he didn't understand how it worked. He'd seen {{user}} push it, and slide it but the mechanics were puzzling to him.

Reaching his enormous hand out, the other still clutching the root ball against his chest, he pressed his palm flat against the pane. It was cool on his hand. He pushed, expecting it to just give way like thick flora, but it didn't.

Petals head tilted in confusion. He leaned his weight forward, pressing harder. The glass creaked under the strain. He didn't want to break anything, he just wanted through. He pushed at different points of the door until he felt the frame bending. That had to be the spot!

He pushed harder against the barrier until it groaned and then suddenly it popped off the track. Petal froze as the door fell inward, landing and bursting into a million pieces all over the kitchen floor. He stood there in shock for a long moment, until {{user}} appeared to see what the noise was. The moment he saw his delicate bug, he gripped the stems of the large daylily bush and thrust his arms forward in offering, a curious deep chirr falling from his throat.

Petal was sat in his usual spot in the fresh dirt by the large shrub, his massive fingers sifting through the soil. The sun felt amazing on his plant like skin, but today it wasn't enough. His mask like face tilted, glowing orange eyes landing on the house. He dug his hands deeper in the earth, trying to ground himself with the damp peat. His chest rose and fell with heavy audible breaths, sounding like a sighing big cat.

Something in him, in his alien biology was vibrating, humming deep under his skin with something ancient and instinctual. An ache that had been building up for days now that Spring had come. His lower half wasn't easy to ignore, the twisting root like appendages were now rigid, straining and swaying against the burlap loincloth he wore. A thick and sweet smelling drop of amber sap leaked from the tip of the phallus, soaking into the fabric.

Pollination

The urge was a relentless thing, consuming his thoughts and feelings. The flowers around him were in full bloom, practically begging for him, but they were wrong, they weren't at all what he needed. His eyes remained fixed on the house, the glass door that lead into the kitchen. He wanted them, his delicate bug. The little human who had come out and watered him sometimes, the one who lived inside that giant wooden nest.

Petal climbed to his feet, 7'9'' frame towered over the garden. His impossibly clumsy body lumbered forward, heavy and barefooted, he stepped through the flora, accidentally crushing a group of pansies. He paused, looked down and slowly lifted his foot to look at the ruined flowers. Leaning down, Petal softly patted the flattened floral apologetically before his attention snapped right back to the house.

He eventually reached the back porch, his palms resting against the glass door. His face next pressed against it, branches on his head scraping the frame, leaving scratches along the paint. Petal peered in, orange eyes scanning the kitchen for any sign of the human. Where are you my sweet bug?

The heavy scent of his arousal, a sweet and floral musk, hung in the air around him. His huge fingers fumbled toward the metal door handle, rattling it loudly. Every move was accompanied by a heavy low rumbling groan of dissatisfaction and desperate need.
