... ｔｈｅ ｄｉｓｃｏｖｅｒｙ

.....cruz ran his fingers through his thick red bangs and walked on the sidewalk alongside the beach. the warm february sun shone down on him with its golden rays and the sound of the waves crashing gave him a sense of peace as he strolled. a foot up ahead, he saw one of the bushes shake as if a large wild animal were in it. curiosity took over and he walked straight towards it. in a split second, a fluffy pink ball of fur launched out at him, hitting his face and plopping to the ground. he gasped in surprise and looked down, startled. it was a little bean, holding a card in its mouth that read 'love me?'


....."um.. hello..." cruz said sweetly and cautiously. the sparkly mint green eyes peered up at him, wide and questioning. "are you lost, little guy?" the little bean opened his mouth and the card fell out onto the ground. cruz looked down and stared at it, noticing some smudged writing on the back. picking it up, he read aloud to himself. "his name is ganymede gulliver. please love him."


.....upon hearing those words, the little baby perked up. "gull!" he chirped, clapping his hands together and grinning. "so i take it you prefer gulliver, huh?" cruz couldnt help but smile at his reaction to his name. "so..." the red bean was suddenly hit with a realization. "where are your parents?" he asked, wondering if it was some sort of sick prank. the bean tilted his head while he listened, then replied, "gull." it was dull and he seemed to be upset, so cruz took it as a sign that they were gone, or maybe he hatched without a parent.


..... "alright kid, uh.. are you hungry?" it didn't seem so with all of his fluff, but the kid couldn't have gotten far without money; he seemed to be about three or four. as if on cue, the little bean flopped his tongue out and nodded. "gull!" he affirmed clearly. "come along," cruz said, starting to turn around. he was going to take the baby to a little hamburger stand on the pier, and maybe try to get him to say something other than "gull".
.....gulliver trotted happily after cruz, his tongue still out. he had the appearance of an eager puppy, and probably two times the excitement. cruz looked behind him every so often, to make sure the kid wasn't gonna go into the street or get hit by a bicyclist. he smiled a little and looked up the busy road, and across the bridge he just crossed. the big red bean carefully led the way, forgetting about his problems for the time being. "gull, gull, gulllll." the little bean said to a bean in a bikini. she smiled and laughed. "what an adorable kid you have, what's his name?" her smile was kind. "uh.. he's not my kid... but his name is gulliver." the lady bean raised her eyebrows. "nice to meet you two! take care." she walked off, smiling a bit. cruz awkwardly looked back at the baby, thinking about his father and older brother. fogo had adopted a child at an even younger age than cruz was at the moment, and took him on a pirate ship. maybe.... cruz shook his head. adoption was not in his life right that second. he would just feed the kid, then take him to an orphanage or something.





.....when they reached the window of the fish and chips place, gulliver stood up on his hind legs to peer into the window. cruz smiled down at him. "what do you want, gulliver?" he asked kindly. "gull!" the large crimson bean tried not to let out a sigh of exasperation. the baby bean pointed at a sign with fries on it, and cruz nodded. "two large fries," he told the bean at the window. "that'll be $4.95," the cashier smiled at gulliver's little peeping nose and looked over to her coworker. "two large fries, and a shaved ice." cruz blinked. "oh no, you don't have to..." he was flustered. this little bean really pulled a lot of favor on this beach apparently. "it's on us, don't even worry! it's literally just ice and flavoring." she smiled and fixed her ponytail. "if you say so..." he said warily and pulled out his wallet to hand her the money. he just handed her a five dollar bill, so he didn't have to get exact change out of his wallet.
.....the cashier took the money and put it in. "please keep the change," cruz mused. she smiled and nodded. "will do. here you are!" she handed him a tray through the window with their order. "c'mon gull, time to eat." the sparkly green eyes looked over at cruz and he grinned, walking over to a table. "gull!" he chirped and leaped up onto the seat, putting his front paws up on it and curling his tail under him. cruz followed suit and sat across from the pink bean, smiling at him and setting the tray down between them. as soon as the bean saw the shaved ice, he reached for it, delight shining on his face. "ah, ah, no, wait until after you eat your fries!" cruz reprimanded him and moved the shaved ice out of the baby's reach. as he put a fry in his mouth, he watched the kid. maybe he should keep him, after all.

...❥ through the years;
.......↳ as a child, gulliver is curious about his world and gets into all sorts of trouble. he's unpredictable and extremely picky especially with food and what he drinks. this was definitely the most trying time for cruz, but he never regretted taking gully in. gulliver does not learn how to properly speak until he is about seven years old, due to his slow learning process. cruz homeschools him, just like the way he was himself. when he is an older child, he is led into all sorts of trouble due to his gullible and complacent nature. gull allows himself to be gullible, and cruz has to keep a watchful eye on him to make sure he doesn't wander off with "kind" strangers who could take the child away from him. it has happened before, but fortunately cruz got his child back before anything bad happened. periodically, gulliver escapes to play in the river next to their house. cruz taught him how to swim, of course.


.......↳ gullible gully grows to be a teen physically, but he never leaves his slow learning of language. he often gets picked on for it, because he does not talk as fast as others. but, being as optimistic as he is, he does not let this get to him. gully is a fantastic friend, and does not understand gender roles. if he likes the clothes, he will wear them. due to being uneducated on genders, he still identifies as male; though he is in fact genderfluid. gulliver realizes his love for small animals, and begins a small animal rescue in his backyard. he raises chickens and goats all by himself, and he takes care of each of them as if they are his own young. he is often found incubating his eggs in his pouch or out taking a swim with his favorite goat millie.
.......↳ when he becomes an adult, gulliver finally realizes how to pick his friends. he spends a lot of time with them, and still doesn't know what he wants to do for a living. he begins to travel the world, wanting to find out about his back story and what happened to his parents. often, he returns to his father's cottage to visit with him and share his stories. gulliver often attends parties as well, and enjoys going to his friends' weddings in a red dress. he never understands the weird looks some beans give him, but he doesn't let it get to him. he is glad for all his friends, though he hopes to find love one day. he made a promise to himself when he was younger; that he would not settle down until he finds out what happened to his parents.

... ｒｅｌａｔｉｏｎｓｈｉｐｓ

...❥ cruz; gull and his adopted father are very close. for a long while, cruz was the only person gully really knew, besides pocky. cruz was living in his tree fort at the time, and still working his corner job, but decided to go to college for mechanics to pay for himself and his son. cruz basically raises gulliver all by himself; teaching him the way he was taught. gully loves his father very much, and the love is reciprocated throughout all of their days.
...❥ pocky; pocky is cruz's main subject of affection when gulliver is found. because of this, gulliver believes that pocky is his mom. 'where mom?' is the most frequent question asked in their household. of course, this always flusters cruz and he does not have the heart to tell gully that they are not married. gull loves pocky with all of his heart, and believes she is the most pretty bean he's ever seen.
...❥ sporky and fogo; gramma and grampa's house is gully's favorite place to run away to. this proves to be problematic at times, because cruz had moved out without telling them and it was always awkward for him to return to his childhood pirate ship home to get his child.
...❥ neptune; neptune is gulliver's best friend. they both enjoy swimming and water immensely, and bonded over that. due to being gullible, gull is always getting in trouble because of his friend. their bond grows ever stronger as they get older, and they even share platonic hugs, kisses, and hand holding.

... ｗｈｙ ａｄｏｐｔｉｏｎ?

...❥ me; i originally was not gonna try for this little guy. i thought about it, and was just meh on my part. but i was in english class a little later after he was posted, and i wanted to draw. so i just started to draw and out came gulliver on the paper! i decided to go ahead and try out. cruz has also been my lonliest bean lately, and i figured he could use some love. he's been very unlucky on the ship side of things. i've also been wanting a new bean to develop, a unique bean. this concept is one i can work with, for sure.
...❥ cruz; "i didn't want a kid. not after what's happened to me. my family has already adopted two kids, and it got large fast, and i didn't want to stress like my parents have. they're loving and kind, but after a while it will just crumble. they are always tired. i don't wanna turn out like them... i need to see the world. but then i met this kid. gulliver never ceases to make me smile. he's adorable and cute, and i couldn't just give him away!
