minors dni. for mature audiences only !

felix couldn't help it. he really, really couldn't — there was nothing in the world that'd stop him from getting hard at the mere thought of you, let alone the scent of you.

he buried his nose deeper into the soft fabric of his togepi and took another whiff. he could picture you on top of him, slowly travelling down, taking his cock into your mouth. you'd know exactly what to do. you always know.

the massive plushie had been a gift from you. you'd won it at the summer carnival and had promptly handed it to him. you're the best trainer i know, you'd winked before you were dragged away by changbin to get more cotton candy. the sight of changbin's strong arms wrapped around your waist was burned into felix' memory.

it should've been me. he cuddled his togepi even closer, the irony not lost on him. i should be the one kneeling at her feet each night.

felix had harbored a crush on you ever since chan came up with the brilliant idea to convert their spare room into another bedroom to save on their monthly bills. another housemate to split the rent with had sounded great to felix, until he'd met the person he was going to be sharing a roof with.

"y/n, fuck," felix gasped, palming himself over his shorts. his cock ached and was starting to leak precum already. he always got so hard thinking about you.

the perfume he'd stolen (borrowed, he corrected himself) from the bathroom filled his nose. it was all too easy to close his eyes and pretend it was you in his arms. your hands traveling into his boxers and squeezing his cock. your fingers gliding along his shaft slowly, teasing...

but even with your scent surrounding him the nagging voice at the back of his head kept reminding him you weren't really there. no matter how hard he squeezed his cock, he couldn't get it right. felix let out a frustrated noise and kicked his shorts and boxers off, swinging his leg over the yellow plushie. he moaned when the pressure on his balls made him jerk upwards, rutting his cock into the soft fabric. the friction it provided was delicious, a little rough against his flushed tip, a jab of dull pain shooting pleasure up his spine.

"yes, yes, ahh fuck, y/n, mommy," he whined, holding the plush down with both hands to settle into a rhythm. he was already too far gone to feel embarrassed now, sticky precum darkening the fabric while he rutted against it like a dog in heat. images of you flashed in front of him, your pretty mouth, your plush thighs...

"'mmgonna - ahffuck, y/n, i'm cumming, please, please." his blond hair fell in front of his eyes and his thighs were shaking from exertion, "please let me cum, mommy - ah!"

his entire body trembled violently, ropes of hot cum defiling both his plushie and the sheets underneath. it took him a moment to catch his breath, chest heaving, finally squeezing out the last drops of cum with a shaky hand.

"what the hell, felix."

your voice rang through the air and it felt like a bucket of ice cold water got dumped over his head. felix scrambled to cover himself, pressed the togepi against his body in a feeble attempt to hide his twitching cock, grimacing when he felt his own warm cum stick to his skin.

"y/n - i'm so sorry, this isn't, it isn't what it looks like - i'm..."

he was rambling, and he knew it, mortified and waiting for your shocked expression to turn into disgust.

but it never did. instead, your gaze drifted from the plushie to his face and back down, a slow grin spreading over your pretty features.

"do it again."

"w-what?"

"i said, do it again."

you stepped into his bedroom and closed the door behind you, sitting down at the foot end of his bed.

"are you still hard?"

felix felt his entire face grow hot, from the tip of his nose to his ears. "yes, but —"

"i saw everything, felix. i heard everything."

he looked down and saw a pink flush spreading to his chest, contrasting with the yellow plushie still pressed tightly against his front.

you came closer and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear. "and it was the hottest thing i've ever seen," you whispered, catching his wide-eyed stare. "so i'm telling you to do it again. or do you need some help from mommy?"

felix' eyes fluttered shut. mommy. as if in a dream, he moved slowly, floaty and fuzzy and almost unable to believe whether this was real or just a figment of his imagination. he straddled the plushie again, all too aware of the heavy weight of your gaze on him.

"just like that, lixie," you cooed. "heard you moaning my name when i came home, found you in here rutting against your plushies like a pathetic slut —"

felix whined and rolled his hips in search for more friction.

"you like that? like it when i call you a slut?" he nodded and you moved to kneel next to him, watching him closely. "how long have you wanted this?"

"since the first time i saw you," he admitted, ducking his head down to avoid your gaze.

"and you've been doing this while you could've been riding my thigh instead? what a shame."

felix groaned. the thoughts you were putting inside his head made his cock twitch against the plushie. he realized how crazy he must be looking, nearly cumming again to the thought of you, like a needy pervert who can't keep it together.

"look at me, felix." you waited until he met your dark gaze, "here's what you're going to do: you're going to make yourself cum again, and i'm going to watch you, and if you're lucky i'll let you watch me."

felix' swallowed hard. getting to watch you get off was a privilege he'd never thought he'd be granted. involuntary, his movements sped up, his eyes falling shut again and pants and moans in the shape of your name tumbling from his lips.

he reached his peak fast, chanting your name over and over just like before. you watched him quietly with sharp eyes, how his hot seed covered the plushie in long spurts. it was even more than last time, so thick and glossy the fabric couldn't soak it all up. it stayed there as an vivid remainder of his shame.

"get off." you motioned for him to move, pulling your own pants and underwear down, and felix noticed the strings of arousal sticking to your panties. his softening cock twitched when he tucked it between his thighs and tried to cover it with his small hands, kneeling on the bed and waiting for your next move.

you straddled the plushie and felix gasped at the sight of your leaking pussy coming into contact with his cum. you rolled your hips experimentally, nose scrunching when the friction rubbed your clit just right.

"feels nice," you hummed, "and you made such a mess lixie, i can feel it."

felix blushed again, but you continued, "such a waste... you could've cummed inside my pussy yourself. now mommy needs to do all the work."

you dipped a finger in the remaining cum, showing it to him before lifting your hips and thrusting it deep inside your cunt. you moaned and started rolling your hips again, grinding down on your the heel of your palm.

felix watched in awe, unsure of where to look; at your face scrunched up in pleasure, at the hand between your thighs, the muscles straining to keep moving...

suddenly, you rolled over onto your back and let your legs fall open. even from his position at the end of the bed felix could smell your arousal, so close and inviting yet so far away. you were so wet your juices covered the insides of your thighs, your slippery fingers barely able to stay on your clit.

felix thought you'd forgotten about him, so he kept quiet, hands still covering his now throbbing cock. his legs were starting to ache from the kneeling position he was in but he didn't dare to move.

"lix, come," it was the first time he'd heard you sound anything else but poised, a desperate note lingering in the air, "come here."

he crawled closer to you, giddy excitement filling his chest. would you let him touch you? would you really let him?

"you've been so good, watching me," you murmured, "watching mommy make her pussy all nice and wet. but mommy needs your help."

felix beamed at you. he'd do anything you ask him to.

"will you let mommy use you to get off, baby?"

"anything you need, mom—," he said, heat spreading to his ears again.

"you can say it, lixie. do you want to make mommy feel good? be a good boy for mommy?"

felix let his head drop against your knee and groaned. he felt like he'd vibrate out of his skin if he didn't get to touch you soon. "please, mommy, use me."

"stick your tongue out."

his whole body shuddered, then stayed frozen for a second, too caught up in the dawning realization: he wouldn't just get to touch you, he'd get to taste you. a low moan started deep in his chest and he let his tongue loll out of his mouth, waiting for your instructions.

"look at you, such a perfect, eager boy for mommy." you smiled at him and he felt a pleasant heat spread through his body. then your hand came up to tangle in his blond locks and he forgot the world around him.

all felix could taste and smell was you, his face pressed into your cunt and kept there by your strong grip on the back of his head. you rolled your hips from his chin to his nose while he stiffened his tongue so you could use him just the way you liked. his hands fisted the sheets and he groaned into your pussy, feeling his own cock grow so painfully hard he thought he'd combust. he pushed all thoughts of his own pleasure away and focused on the way you rode his face; how he was forced to lap up every delicious gush of arousal; the sounds you made; the whispers of his name inbetween moans.

all he wanted to do is please you, his mommy, make you cum over and over again on his tongue. his fingers. his cock, if you'd ever let him. mortified, felix realized he could cum just from this. he whimpered when you tugged on his hair harshly and he started fucking his tongue into your hole, feeling it flutter while his nose rubbed your clit. he knew you were close and doubled down on his efforts, determined to give you the most mind-blowing orgasm of your life.

he felt it before he heard you, the shake of your legs followed by a chant of his name which sounded like music to his ears. you rode out your high with his face still pressed into your cunt, his tongue now lapping lazily at your clit to help you come down until you gently pushed his head away.

felix hovered over you and you caught his sated smile, his chin still covered with your release. you laughed and shook your head. "what the hell, felix," you repeated your earlier words, and tugged him down next to you. "we're doing that again."

SYRUP: LUFFY x YOU (foxy pirate 3)

part 1 part 2

(cw: just some light fluffy comfort)

words: 428

****

“Stop it,” Luffy says as he pokes your forehead. You’ve been sailing with the Strawhats for a while now, but doubt still creeps up your shins and cuts your knees. You’re sitting on the floor of one of the below-deck storage rooms. You’re stitch-ripping an old sail to use it for scrap.

You want a new dress.

“Stop what,” you intone. You want to dye this muslin purple; maybe Sanji will lend you some grapes. Or something. Islands might have flowers you could dry and pulverize, or maybe—

“Stop worrying.”

He says it flatly, sitting crosslegged on the muslin in front of you. His weight pulls it from your hands.

Irritated, you look up.

Heartskip.

“Ahh—,” you let out an embarrassing half-sigh, his sparkly eyes catching you way off guard. “I’m not worried.”

He doesn’t even have to say the word “liar.” He knows you know it.

You swallow.

“Why did you choose me?”

You fiddle with the little blue stitch ripper, the crescent moon of its silver head flashing in the lamplight.

Say I’m special, or something worth seeing, please please please…

He hesitates.

Luffy’s hands rest on scabby knees. His shorts are frayed and denim, his thick, calloused fingers toying with the lightened fringe. “I like how sweet you are.” His voice is scratchy.

“Is that it?”

He stares up at you like you’ve struck him. “Excuse me?” His voice is insulted, disrespected. Oh no.

“I mean—!”

“Sweet isn’t something you can easily come by! Especially not in the Grand Line. We were tricked by people pretending to be sweet, the very first island we saw. They fed us, let us drink, and gave us a place to sleep. Zoro had to fend them off before they tried to kill us,” Luffy is serious—heated. He is usually not so adamant. But when he is—you listen.

He swallows, eyes dark.

“A-and even in nature, sugar doesn’t just appear. Honey’s surrounded by bees. Maple syrup is hidden inside trees. Honeysuckle only blooms in spring. Fruit’s only in summer, and ya gotta be quick or the worms get there first. Mock strawberries always fool me,” he says honestly, tone now lightened. He fiddles with the scratchy muslin between his knees.

“So…when you saw me,” he licks his lips, “And you were standing behind that cotton candy machine,” he slows his words like syrup. He shakes his head. “I thought you were sweet. So I said, ‘Hey, let’s take a chance!’ So I did.” He shrugs.

“That’s a really good reason.”

You say it confidently.

He smiles.

“Yeah, it is.”

sugar rush

in which: you had one job: to not eat all the cotton candy sumin brought for you in one go

pair: sumin/gn!reader

word count: 1.6k

content: fluff, kissing, cuddling, hugging, all the cute things i wish sumin would do to me, pure love, innocent love, first love

tag list: @yuniniverse apply for the permanent taglist here!

Your boyfriend knew that you had an affinity for cotton candy. When he went grocery shopping the other day, he brought back a huge tub of cotton candy to surprise you, but he also warned you to take it easy with the sugar and just eat a little bit at a time. You tried to listen to his request, you really did, but you couldn’t help it. It didn’t feel like a lot when you were eating it though, and you were just mindlessly eating the cotton candy until the entire tub was empty. Whoops.

When Sumin got home, the first thing he noticed was the empty cotton candy tub on the kitchen island. The second thing he noticed was you dancing around the room like there was no tomorrow, a giddy smile on your face. Your eyes were trembling (because of how hopped up on sugar you were), so it took you a second to register the fact that he was back.

“Sumin!” you screamed, holding your hands out for the boy. You felt a new rush course through your body as you began jumping in place.

“What are you doing?!” the boy asked with a laugh as he produced his phone to take a picture of a very hyperactive you.

“Stop it!” you shut your eyes and jumped into Sumin’s arms, rendering his hands useless, making him unable to take the picture of you.

“You need to lay down…”

“No, I don’t! I’m perfectly fine,” you said despite feelings your fingers and toes vibrating.

“Babe, you just ate a whole tub of cotton candy… You have a sugar rush—”

“Sugar rush rush, sugar rush rush ahh!” you interrupted and screamed in his ear, nearly making the poor boy go deaf.

“Yep, time for you to lay down,” Sumin declared as he wrapped his arms around you securely so that he could hoist you over his shoulder and carry you into the bedroom. You kicked and squirmed, trying to get out of his hold, but you were unable to escape even when he laid you down on the bed because his arms were holding you down.

“Suminnie, I swear I’m fine!” you said; although, you were unable to convince him of that because you were shaking due to the sugar.

“I’ll believe you after your sugar high crashes,” Sumin said with a small sigh. “Why did you eat the entire tub? Especially when I told you to pace yourself…”

“I didn’t mean to! I just— It was— There wasn’t much—” you were so hopped up on sugar that you couldn’t even make a coherent statement.

“If you’re going to eat the entire tub like this, then I’m not going to bring you any more cotton candy.”

“No! Don’t do that! I won’t eat all of it next time, I swear!” you cried.

“That’s what you said last time.”

“I mean it this time, I swear. I won’t do it again.”

With a tiny smile, Sumin nodded and kissed your forehead, sending you into a fit of giggles. Your cheeks got pink as Sumin helped you get under the covers, the blanket going over your head. And within seconds, you were out like a light.

When you recovered from your sugar rush— aka when you woke up from your nap— you woke up to feel someone’s arms wrapped around you from behind. You turned in their arms and faced them.

Sumin was fast asleep. He let out a tiny grunt as he felt you shift in his arms, making him hug you closer. The frown on his face disappeared, and he had the cutest smile on his face. You shifted slightly in his embrace just to make yourself a little more comfortable, and the boy did not like that at all. He hugged you even tighter and buried his nose in your hair, his nose rubbing into you. You felt him exhale onto your exposed skin, making you shiver and your heart start racing.

“Mmm, babe,” Sumin uttered. “My sweetie…”

The nicknames made you even more flustered. As much as you wanted Sumin to sleep peacefully, you weren’t sure if your heart could take anymore of his adorableness. You gently placed your hand on his head and pet his hair gently, the boy enjoying your delicate touch.

Sumin sighed peacefully. He was actually awake— he woke up when you moved in his arms— but he wanted to keep his eyes closed since he wanted to see what you would do. You felt his eyelashes flutter against your cheek before you felt his lips on your neck. You entire face burned red.

“Babe, have you calmed down now?” Sumin whispered.

You nodded, unable to muster up the words to say something in case your heartbeat would drown out anything you said.

“Good.”

Sumin hugged you close for another minute or so before loosening his grip and leaning backwards. Your face was still hot when he gazed upon you with slightly hazy eyes.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Ye-yes…”

You slightly squirmed in his hold, making him a little confused. “What’s wrong?”

“I— Um… You’re just so pretty, Sumin… My heart can’t handle it.”

A beautiful smile blossomed on Sumin’s face, and you could’ve sworn that it gave you a heart attack. You buried your face in his chest, your words coming out muffled as you said, “Sumin, you can’t make that kind of face without blinding me with your beauty.”

“God, Y/N. You’re so cute,” Sumin chuckled.

You lifted your head to defy him and said, “No, you are.”

“No, you.”

“No—”

Sumin cut you off with a quick kiss. Your face erupted into flames— that was your first kiss with him. You turned your head to look away, but Sumin grabbed your face with his free hand and brought your face back to his before locking lips with you. His kisses were sweet, like cotton candy, like him. You thought to yourself that if this was how Sumin kissed, then you would never need cotton candy again.

Each one of his kisses was longer than the last. You could feel Sumin smile in between each kiss. When you felt his fingers brush past your ear and to the back of your head, you felt like melting. Disappointment hit you when Sumin stopped kissing you, and part of you wanted to grab him by the collar and continue kissing him, but you held back because you needed a second to recover.

“Oh my goodness, Y/N, you’re just so damn cute and lovable,” Sumin cooed as he hugged you and pressed his forehead against yours. “I love you so much.”

“I love you more, Sumin.”

“No, I love you—”

This time, you cut Sumin off by kissing him. He let out a little giggle as he rolled you over so that you were on your back and he was on top of you, both of his hands cupping your face gently. With one resounding, loud kiss, Sumin sat up and patted your head before getting off the bed.

“Do you want to know how much I love you?” Sumin asked.

“How much do you love me?”

You sat up and watched Sumin giggle again before he said, “I knew you were going to finish that tub, so I bought more cotton candy.”

“You did?!”

“Yes, I did.”

“Sumin, I love you so much!”

You leapt off the bed and immediately dashed to the kitchen, Sumin chasing after you. “Just because I bought you another tub, it doesn’t mean you should eat it right away!”

Before you could grab the tub from his bag, Sumin got there first. He held the tub away from you to the point where you couldn’t reach it, his hand pressed against your shoulder to keep you away. You continued to struggle against him, the cotton candy calling your name.

“Please! I want it!” you whined as you lunged for the tub.

“Only if you share with me!”

You pouted, but you nodded. You didn’t mind sharing with your boyfriend, after all. “Can we at least have some right now?”

“You just recovered from your sugar rush…”

“Please?” you batted your eyelashes, practically begging him.

“…You’re lucky you’re so cute. Fine. Follow me.”

Sumin walked to the living room, and you followed (despite being completely confused). He sat down and patted the couch, inviting you to sit next to him. He opened the tub as you took a seat, and before he could even distribute the cotton candy fairly, you snatched the whole thing out of the tub and shoved it in your mouth, some parts of the cotton candy sticking out. Sumin stared at you in shock, his jaw completely dropped.

“Come on, Y/N! What did I just say?!”

“Sorry,” you said, the cotton candy muffling your words.

Sumin pouted slightly before leaning forward and taking a bite out of the cotton candy that was sticking out of your mouth. Your eyes went wide, and before you could even physically react, Sumin leaned forward again and finished whatever was remaining of the cotton candy, his lips enveloping your upper lip. You closed your eyes tightly as you felt him suck on your lips, trying to get a taste of whatever sugar remained on your lips. He held your waist and brought you closer towards him. It was only when you couldn’t get a taste of the sugar anymore did Sumin release you, leaving you to struggle to regulate your breathing.

“Sweet,” Sumin said with a little smirk. “Now I get why you like cotton candy so much.”

[𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫] lasko moore

“you’re doing it again” you say glancing over to where lasko is sitting and staring at you with the biggest heart eyes you’ve ever seen. he turns bright red once he realizes that’s he’s been caught and starts trying to stutter out an excuse.

“do-doing w-what?” he finally manages to get out after struggling to find the right words.

“looking at me with those eyes” you smile at him.

“w-what eyes?” lasko lets out a nervous laugh.

you stand and walk over to sit with him on the couch, making sure to sit very close.

“the ‘i’m so in love with you’ eyes” you say kissing his flushed cheek gently. lasko feels dopey with you and can’t help but act that way, you don’t mind though clearly since it makes you laugh; he loves making you laugh.

“i can’t help it” he says finally facing you. his eyes widen when he realizes how close you are to his face. “h-hi”

“i love when you do that” you grin.

“love when i do w-what?” lasko asks while glancing to the side for no particular reason .

“when i get really close to your face like this you always go ‘hi’ and it’s honestly one of my favorite things to do to you cause i love the reaction you give”

“o-oh, i didn’t realize i did that” you nod.

“i love it” you say before leaning in to kiss him.

lasko melts into your lips, he has always though that your lips taste heavenly and soft— something like cotton candy and salt water taffy. he wonders if you’re aware of how much your kiss effects him, not in a dirty way just in a ‘wow i’m so in love with them and how they kiss me’ way.

lasko pulls away to hold your face in place as he drinks in your features before deciding to smoother you in kisses which makes you giggle at the sudden action.

“ahh i’m being attacked” you laugh though you also don’t do anything to stop said attacks.

“i’m just loving you” he says before place a final cheek on your cheek with a big ‘mwah’ sound to follow it. “i can’t look at you or kiss you now? let me love you sweetie”

“i do let you love me” you laugh as you place your hands over his. lasko’s hands have always been so warm and yours always seem to be cold but he doesn’t seem to mind. he’s always happy to hold them. “you’re being silly”

“you don’t like silly me?”

“i love silly you” you remove his hands from you face as you pull him in to plant a kiss on his nose. “you love silly me?”

“of course—” lasko’s statement is quickly cut off as your freezing hands find their way under his shirt. “ah—ah hey y-you k-k-know i’m tic-ticklish there!” he says while squirming away from your touch.

you can’t hold in your laughter at the sight of him wiggling around on the couch trying to avoid the cold touch.

“you can’t escape the cold breeze boy, i’m everywhere”

after almost five minutes of squirming around on the couch and almost falling off twice, lasko finally manages to grab your hands and stop your tickle attack on him. in the end he’s panting and holding onto your hands tightly in case you decide to go for it again.

“alright i’m done i promise” you smile and he weakly smiles back and sighs in relief.

“oh thank goodness” he lets go of your hands and you lay back on the couch to wave him over. he lays against you and you pet his head to calm him. “i can hear my heartbeat in my ears.”

“i really got you going huh?” you smile.

“definitely my work out for the week” you laugh again before kissing his head.

“i love you breeze boy”

“i love you too sweetie”

THE STREET RAPPER - SUMIN °

~~~~~~~~♡

I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the sidewalk as I just left school. I sigh happily, watching the scenery before me; the birds were chirping, the colorful flowers swaying in the light heat. The clouds looked like big balls of cotton candy.

"Brrrr~ Grrr-yo! Skkr!"

My eyebrows furrow as I adjust my glasses, following the sound. A boy sits there with a cap on the ground, filled with various quarters and nickels. He raps a verse, attracting a small crowd.

I smile softly, nodding my head with the rhythm as I step towards him, digging into my pocket to find my lucky quarter and throwing it into his cap.

The boy stopped for a second, looking up and giving me a bright smile. I smile back, an unfamiliar knot in my stomach forming. Turning my legs, I walk away, replaying the moment in my head as I head home.

~~~~♡

My paintcan falls to the floor as I carefully finish my landscape, wiping some of the sweat and paint from my brows. I breathe in deeply, laying on my chair as I look around, finally realizing that my paintcan had fallen on the ground.

I pick it up and grab a piece of paper, writing down a few things I would need from the store. And yet another paintcan.

Grabbing my bag, wallet, and phone, I bolt out the door, walking to a local convenience store.

The bells jangle as I step inside the store, bowing at some of the employees as I make my way to the arts and crafts section. I grab some cans of paint and brushes, quietly cursing myself for not getting a basket.

I walk back to the entrance with my hands filled with stuff as I could not see where I was going. "Ahh!!" Someone yells as my things fall down on the poor latter. "Oh my, I'm so sorry!" I panick, quickly helping the person up.

"No it's my fault," a deep voice fills my ears, which I later identify as a boy's voice. I look up, my eyes widen as I realize its the boy from earlier. He waves his hands, smiling brightly as his eyes shrink. "Hey your that girl from earlier.." he points at me, snapping me out of my trance. "Yeah.." I smile shyly, scratching my neck as I look down.

"Thanks for the quarter.." he smiles fiddling with it in his pocket before looking down at the mess. "Oh shoot.. let me help you with that." He drops of his knees, stacking it carefully as I help him. "Wait I'll go get a basket." I say before quickly running.

Coming back, he puts my things into the basket, lifting it up with ease. "Painting huh?" He asks, looking at my things before looking at me. "Yeah it's a small hobby I have." I smile. "Isnt that too heavy?" I ask, pointing to the two big cans of paint. The boy shakes his head. "This would actually be perfect for working out." He jokes, making me laugh.

Engaging in the small conversation, I lead the boy to the checkout center. "Hey I dont think I ever got your name." I say, laughing at the joke he made before. "Oh yeah! Sorry I forgot!" He laughs, scratching his neck. "Its sumin." He smiles. I smile back, telling him my name as I pay for my supplies, secretly grabbing a bag of chips.

We walk out of the store with a comfortable silence, the wind lightly swaying our hair in the moonlight. Sumin smiles softly, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he turns to me. "I like you." He says suddenly, nodding to himself quietly. "Me too." I say, reaching into my bag and handing him the chips.

"Wahh you didnt have to do this!" He laughs, taking the chips and opening the bag, offering me one. "Hey I had to repay you somehow!" I playfully hit his shoulder, taking the chip he offered me. A big goofy grin appears on his face as he bites into another chip, laughing along with me.

A/n: I actually did not like writing this at first but after changing up a few things it was so much fun!!

I wouldn't been able to finish this imagine if it weren't for my bestest friend <3

[archivalofsins]

So uuuh I remembered you mentioning in a Mikoto post how Orekoto seems to refers to Haruka as just "Haruka" whereas boku-Mikoto calls him "Haru-kun". And earlier I was going back through all the Minigrams and in episode 34, Mikoto uses "boku" (僕) AND calls Haruka just "Haruka" so I wanted to know if you had any kind of thoughts on this because atp I'm just lost 😭

The explanations I can think about are : 1) the two alters were co-fronting so the two alters ways of talking mesh together 2) Orekoto just has had an influence on Mikoto as a whole and now Mikoto also adresses Haruka as "Haruka" in general instead of "Haru-kun" 3) it's actually Orekoto fronting but he's"masking" by taking on the host's manners

I guess it's not that big of a deal but it still bugged me slightly and since first heard of Mikoto's alter showing up in Minigram through your blog I thought I'd ask

Yeah, I re-blogged something recently that brings up that idea it's not the first thing to though. Many people have pointed it out over the course of Milgram. I'm assuming the post you're referencing is this one here.

To keep a long story short like you said in your follow up ask I did not write that I just re-blogged it from someone else.

Edit: I have since taken down that reblog and as such have linked to the original post above instead. I prefer not being asked why I did that. (I've also edited this again to fix formatting and spelling errors. 08/22/23)

Again, I'm assuming what you're referring to is this part,

There are other verbal differences between how Mikoto and the other one speaks. Mikoto proper referring to Haruka as Haru-kun is one of the more obvious ones.

We see this illustrated throughout the portal timeline repeatedly,

20/06/05

Haruka: Ah…… ah, u-um, Mikoto-san. The c-communication……? thing, that you were saying was important I-I thought, I’d give it my best…… Um, so, Mikoto-san, what’s your favourite food……?

Mikoto: Ooh? Nice going, Haru-kun~ Yeah, we still have no idea how long this lifestyle will go on for, so it’s best if we all get along together here. My favourite food…… I like pasta and horse-meat sashimi. Also bubble tea, and recently I’ve been big on custard puddings. What about you?

Haruka: ……ah, I, I wonder…… H-hamburg steak, and omurice, a-and also…… what else? Ah. Cotton candy……

Mikoto: C-cotton candy!? That’s the first time I’ve met someone who has that in their top three favourites!? ……man, Haru-kun, you really are hilarious.

22/10/06 (Mikoto’s Birthday)

Haruka: Mikoto-san. Um, are you ok……?

Mikoto: Ah, Haru-kun. It's been a while since we last talked, huh. Yeah, I'm fine. Are you doing ok......?

Haruka: Ah, I’m fine. I’ve been enjoying myself, a lot. Um, I’m sorry, for avoiding you. I was a bit scared. Of you, honestly……

Mikoto: Ahhh, yeah. I’ve been lashing out whenever I go to sleep, right? ……it’s fine. Even I think you’re right to be scared. You know, I kinda just hate that I don’t even know what’s going on myself…… haha. Ah, but despite all that you still came and talked to me because it’s my birthday, right? Thank you, you’ve grown into a good man.

Mikoto is also the one shown and stated to be the one who gives other people nicknames. He is shown doing so off the bat with Mahiru.

20/05/25

Mikoto: ……I’ve really got caught up in some trouble, huh. What even is this place? It’s probably a TV reality show or something. ……but to think someone in this day and age would try to do a project that could land them in so much trouble. Uh……

Mahiru: Ah…… I’m Shina Mahiru! You can just call me Mahiru. And you are……?

Mikoto: Kayano Mikoto. I’m fine with just Mikoto too. Ahh, I’m glad there’s someone here who’s easy to talk to…… It’s nice to meet you, Mappy.

Mahiru: ………… ……Mappy???

He's also the one to refer to the prisoners by nickname in his first trial Interrogation.

"See? Like, Yun-chan and Mucchan, are just high school girls, Haru-kun looks like someone who can't hurt a fly, and Futa would be an umbrella thief at worst."

And states this when asked about it during his first trial interrogation,

Q.09 Why do you give everyone nicknames?

Mikoto: I guess it became a habit when I was at university. Having a nickname for someone that only you call them comes with a lot of advantages, do recommend.

Even though it seems to follow the rules stated within the other post this is not some hard rule. It is just an observation.

We've seen in Milgram through other prisoners that they can switch up honorifics or not use them at their discretion. Just as people in real life can. For example, Yuno with Mu.

Yuno went from only referring to Mu by her name to using chan over the course of Milgram,

20/06/04

Yuno: Huh, so you go to that high school. So, you are from a rich family then~! I mean, you already gave off that vibe though. What year are you in?

Mu: First year…… Kashiki… san…… you’re older than me, right?

Yuno: Yeah, I’m in third year. But you can just call me Yuno, I don’t really like the stuffy formalities. It doesn’t really matter who’s older and who’s younger. If you squint, we’re basically the same age anyway.

Mu: ……fufu, what’s with that? But ok…… I’ll call you Yuno from now on.

Trial 2

Q.11 Which of the other prisoners do you get along with least?

Haruka: I don’t dislike Amane anymore. I’m not scared of small children now

Yuno: I wonder; the ones that are painful just to watch are Haruka and Mu-chan.

The use of honorifics is highly circumstantial. In Minigram 34 Spoiled,

Mikoto is doing a mock job interview where referring to someone by kun might just be contextually inappropriate or disrespectful for the environment he's attempting to simulate. So, he reasonably drops it.

A lot of the Milgram characters do what many people where I'm from would refer to as code switching. Basically, changing their language to fit the environment. People in general do this a lot in their everyday lives. People who are incapable of doing this or have difficulties doing it can run into social issues.

So, to put it simply given the topic he rightfully wouldn't refer to him as kun. He also doesn't refer to the others by name at all. Something common in job interviews, at least group ones.

The best way to come to a simple conclusion is to ask simple questions.

If they could co-front why would Milgram have any issues restraining the other Mikoto or even be unaware of their presence until after trial one? It is likely that there are other prisoners who have dissociative disorders, and their cases haven't been as difficult as Mikoto's. So, from that we can infer that if Mikoto had a more interconnected system or was even aware of the other then Milgram would have been able to better account for their presence.

The other Mikoto having more of an impact on the usual Mikoto would allude to the progression of time when it has been stated by Yamanaka that the Minigrams take place during trial one only.

A bit of a more accurate translation (still not completely accurate though),

"The minigrams are basically going to remain in the first trial timeline forever. It will remain in a relaxed, relaxed manner. There is a lot going on in the main story, but please rest assured to enjoy it."

Although since you can read the minigrams this is more for my benefit.

Because this is the case we will not be seeing any of the prisoners who have injuries with those injuries within the minigrams. This is perfectly displayed through the state we Mahiru is in within the minigrams in comparison to her state within Milgram currently,

Being able to jump rope despite needing a wheelchair in canon.

Since the minigrams take place during trial one chances are Mikoto is still unaware of the other's presence. It isn't completely impossible for the other's presence to be subconsciously impacting Mikoto, but I personally don't think it would be enough to change his way of speaking. Especially if this is all taking place over the course of trial one.

There are much more definitive ways to tell when the alter is in the minigrams the use of ore is one of them. However, just referring to Haruka as Haruka and not Haru-kun is a bit too skewed by circumstantial and contextual factors for me to consider it a reliable indicator.

Something your question has brought to attention here.

This is why I don't use that as the only indication of which personality is out myself. There are a lot of subtle mannerisms verbal and non-verbal that indicate which one is out currently and who has been out the longest. All these details come together to make Mikoto and his situation far more realistic in my opinion.

Chapter 1: Set Sail for Alabasta! A Ballerina on the Ship!

(episode 92)

A couple days after recruiting Chopper as the ship's doctor, the journey was smooth sailing. "There's no mistake," Nami looked over the map with Vivi, "This ship is heading to Alabasta."

Vivi looked over the horizon up ahead. "I'll be there soon."

On the lower deck, Usopp, Chopper, and Karoo were fishing on the railing, while Zoro slept by the mast. "Luffy! Don't lie!" Sanji reprimanded. "Tell me what you know." Luffy avoided eye contact, so the cook knelt down, and tried to force it. "Hey, why are you looking away? Look me in the eyes!"

Luffy kept it up, waving his hand in front of his face. "Well, seriously... I don't know anything."

"Then let me ask you something: how did enough food for 8 people, which I carefully divided so that it'd last until we get to Alabasta, disappear the other night?" Sanji was frustrated when Luffy kept averting his gaze to everywhere but him. "Stop fighting, it's pointless! You've got a horrible poker face." He squished his cheeks, resulting in a belch. He straightened up, then blinked in fake surprise. "Hey, you have something around your mouth."

"Ah! Shoot! Food crumbs?!"

"See, it was you!" Sanji's kick sent him flying across the deck, crashing into the wall. "Geez." He then looked up where Nami and Vivi were standing, now wearing a pleading face. "Ahhh, Nami-san, you saw it, right? The large rat trap is no longer good enough. Please buy a lockable refrigerator."

"Well," She frowned reluctantly, "I'll think about it, since it can be a life or death issue."

"Hm?" Sanji turned around at the sound of chewing, coming from the fishing trio.

"Well!" Usopp acted painfully casual. "We'd better catch something for Sanji-kun."

As Karoo quacked, Sanji approached them. "Hey, any luck fishing?"

They all tensed up nervously. "W-well..."

That was enough proof for the chef; they were just as guilty as the captain. He calmly put his hands out, and bashed their heads together. "I feel good," Chopper muttered, as they collapsed on deck.

"Seriously, I can't take my eyes off these guys for a moment," He grumbled.

Later on, Luffy joined into the fishing with Usopp. "Ahh," He moaned when his stomach growled, "I'm starving. The fish aren't biting at all."

"Luffy! It's your fault!" Usopp glared. "It's because you even ate the bait! If we don't have bait, the fish won't bite!"

"You ate it too!"

"Well... I only ate the stuff on the bait box cover."

Behind them, Vivi walked up casually. "Luffy-san, Usopp-san. Have you caught anything?" Upon hearing some frantic quacking, she pushed them aside to look, and screamed in terror. "Ahh!" Karoo was being used as bait! "Karoo! Oh no!"

"I wonder if we can catch a shark or something?" Luffy wondered aloud obliviously.

"I wanna catch a Sea King," Usopp added.

Vivi leaned back, now angry. "What're you two... doing to Karoo?!" She smashed their heads together.

After they fell back on the deck, a pair of shiny, black boots approached them, after seeing Karoo tied up. "Luffy," Venus scolded, buttoning her black shorts, "Did you eat the bait again?"

"He did," A blushing Usopp whined, averting his eyes from the hem of her cropped sweater, and the high waist of her denim shorts.

"You did too!" Luffy snitched.

"Only what was on the cover!"

Venus sighed, and shook her head. "Let's hope a miracle happens then."

"Sorry, Venus-chan," Usopp frowned sadly as she walked away, before he glared at Luffy, "Thanks for getting me in trouble."

Just then, as they sat back up, something appeared over the horizon. It was a strange, green smoke billowing from the ocean. "What's that?"

Usopp stared on in confusion. "What the heck is that?"

"Looks like green mist," Venus remarked.

"I wonder if it's like cotton candy," Luffy mumbled weakly.

"I'll go get Nami-san!" Vivi ran up the stairs, and burst into the kitchen. "Nami-san, there's a problem! Come right away!"

After following her outside, Nami saw the strange sight ahead, but was calm. "Ahh, don't worry. It's nothing; it's just steam."

"Steam is coming up from the sea?"

"Yeah. It's a hot spot."

"What the heck is that?" Luffy asked.

"It's an area where magma is produced," Nami replied, "There's an undersea volcano underneath that area."

"I see."

Chopper looked up at her innocently. "A volcano, even though it's undersea?"

"That's right. There're more undersea volcanoes than above ground ones."

"Whoa," Usopp listened in awe.

"I don't really care," Luffy pouted, "Since it's not food."

"With the volcano like this, a new island will be born here over thousands, or tens of thousands of years."

"You're so cool, Nami-san~!" Sanji swooned.

"Tens of thousands of years," Luffy muttered, "I wonder if I can live that long."

"Well, you're a human," Usopp pointed out, "So you should try dying sometime before that."

"I wouldn't wanna live that long anyway," Venus remarked.

As they continued fishing, Sanji approached them. "Have you caught anything?" He asked through Karoo's frantic quacking.

"Oh, hey Sanji. I'm hungry. Cook something."

"With what?" She challenged with a quirked brow.

"You guys're hopeless," He sighed, and rolled up his left-side sleeves, "I'll go search the storage thoroughly, to see if there's anything left."

Just as he disappeared into the kitchen, the Merry began passing through the steam. And it was not pleasant. "Ahh! It smells of sulfur!" Usopp griped, as everyone coughed.

"We can't see anything! There's steam everywhere!" Luffy exclaimed.

"It stinks!" Venus complained.

"Bear through it," Nami said, "We should be through it soon."

As they sailed through, another ship was approaching. "Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama!"

"What is it?!" He barked, clad in a pink and blue ballerina outfit with a pair of white swans on the back of his coat.

"There's smoke at 12 o'clock!"

"It doesn't matter! Cut through it!" He smiled evilly. "At any rate, unless we take care of Mr. 3, I'll be in danger!" He fretted.

"Yes, sir! We're going in!" They sailed straight into the steam.

"What is this foggy thing?"

"We can't see ahead!"

"Ah!" Everyone screamed in terror.

Within minutes, they emerged from the stinky steam. "We got through!" The two men panicked when suddenly, the chair their leader sat in was empty! "Ahh! Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama is gone!"

"Look for him in the cabins!"

"We can't find him!"

"Can't be!"

"Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama!"

Luffy and Usopp gawked when their lines suddenly caught something. "Whoa!"

"Hey!" Venus perked up. "You got something! Reel it up! Huh?"

Holding onto a frantic Karoo, was a man wearing a ballerina dress and shoes, and a swan coat. "Shoot! Why did I jump on a duck that I suddenly came across?!"

The three looked at each other in confusion. "Is he a human?" Luffy asked.

"Dunno."

"Probably," Venus shrugged, "He looks human."

He was staring at them, equally befuddled, when his arms slipped. "Oh?! Ahh!" He fell into the ocean, Luffy and Usopp watching his struggle. "Help me! Please! I can't swim!" He then submerged underwater.

"Ballerina Man!" She frantically pushed past the two boys, and dove in.

"Wait, Venus!" Usopp called out. "You can't swim either!"

"Venus!" Zoro whipped his shirt off, and jumped in after her.

"I thought I'd die," He panted after being rescued, as Venus recovered close by. "Well, I'm really swanny. To think I was saved by pirates, who are total strangers. I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life!" He bowed before them. "Also, may I have a cup of warm soup?"

"We don't have it!" Everyone, except Venus and Vivi, shouted angrily.

"We're the ones who're hungry!" Zoro added.

He looked up to Vivi gazing down at him. "Oh, hey you! What a cutie! You're my type! I wanna eat you! Smooch!"

He blew a kiss at her, but she grimaced in disgust. "What a weirdo."

"So you can't swim, huh?" Luffy grinned.

"That's right. I ate a Devil Fruit."

"Me too!" Venus beamed.

"Really? What kind of fruit?" Usopp asked him.

He stood on his pointe-shoed feet. "Well... since there's no need to rush until my ship comes to pick me up... in lieu of entertainment, I'll show you." Luffy grinned in anticipation, as did Venus. "This is my power!"

Everyone was in shock when he suddenly pounded Luffy's face in, before Zoro drew his swords. "What're you-"

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" He held his hands out, his voice suddenly different. "I just told you, that this is entertainment!"

Zoro's eyes widened. "What?!"

"Gimme a break!" His face looked exactly like Luffy's!

"Ah?!" The captain sprang to his feet, and smiled brightly. "That's me!"

"Surprised?! Surprised?! Surprised?!" He danced before them, and laughed. "If I touch my face with my left hand..." He demonstrated, and his face and voice were back to normal, "See?! I'm back to myself! This is the power of the Clone-Clone Fruit I ate!"

"The voice too," Nami remarked, as Usopp gaped.

"The body was also the same," He added.

"A-amazing!" Luffy exclaimed, as he touched everyone else's faces with his right hand.

"There!" He posed after finishing. "Well, for that matter, I don't have to knock you down. Now, look!" When he touched his face, he turned into Usopp! Venus laughed in amazement, as her eye lit up. "All I have to do is..." He turned into Zoro next. "Touch faces with my right hand." He then turned into Chopper. "As you can see, I can..." He then became Nami. "Mimic anyone! Bodies too!"

He opened his robe, making Venus and the boys gape in shock. "Ahh!" Venus quickly covered Chopper's eyes before he could look too long.

The real Nami swung a punch to his head, abruptly ending the act. "Ouch!"

"Stop it!"

"Hey, are you all right?" Luffy asked.

"Ow, ow, ow." The delirious man pushed himself up. "Well... sorry, but I can't show any more of my power."

"You're amazing!" Luffy encouraged, as Usopp whistled. "Do it more!"

"Ahh, well, if you insist, I guess I'll show more."

"Yeah! Show it! Show it!" The four cheered.

Nami and Zoro watched in annoyance. "Gee, he's actually into it!" Nami glared.

"Hey, Mr. Ballerina!" Venus raised her hand. "Do me next! Me next!"

"As you wish, girlie!" With one touch of his right hand, a clone of her in his outfit stood before them, her hair down to her upper ribs. "Ta-da!"

"Awesome!" She cheered; however, her smile vanished when he gripped his closed coat with a mischievous look. "Eek!" She scrambled over, and quickly held it closed with a glare. "Don't even think about it!" She seethed.

"Just kidding!" He laughed, as she sat back down, and reverted back to normal. Usopp sighed in relief to himself; he wasn't ready to see that much of his crush yet. Although... he had never seen her without pigtails before.

Nami held a furious Zoro back when he tried to charge in for the prank. "Don't!"

"Furthermore, I'm equipped with a memory feature!"

"We wanna see! We wanna see!" They cheered, along with a newly happy Venus.

"Here we go!" To their delight, he changed into many faces, one after the other.

"Ah!" Vivi gaped at one that looked familiar. She knew that black, curly hair, and small beard anywhere; her father!

"Spin! Spin! Spin!"

"How stupid!" The swordsman griped.

"Spin! Spin!"

He stopped, and posed before his audience. "So how was my secret talent?! I usually never show it to others."

"Cool!" They cheered, as Vivi stared at him suspiciously. Why did he look like her father for a moment? Did he encounter him before?

They jumped up, and started dancing with him in a line, arms linked around shoulders. "Gimme a break! Gimme a break!"

"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

"Oh, whatever!" Nami complained, and turned to the ocean.

"That's my ship!" He suddenly exclaimed. Approaching them was a white-wooded ship donning a swan prow, and a pink sail.

"Amazing! Amazing! He's..."

"Whoosh!" They stopped when he leaped gracefully on the railing by her. "It's already time to say goodbye? What a shame."

"What?!" The four exclaimed.

"Please don't go!" Usopp begged.

"Don't be sad! Journeys are always accompanied by farewells." He looked back at the group. "But don't ever forget this: Friendship... has nothing to do with how long we've known each other. Don't cry!" He jumped on his ship when she was close enough.

"See you again!" Luffy called.

The ballerina turned to his crewmates. "Now, let's go guys!"

"Yes, sir! Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama!"

The Straw Hats gaped in shock upon overhearing. Yikes! "Mr. 2?!" Usopp exclaimed.

"So he is..." Vivi remarked, "Mr. 2, Bon Clay!"

"Vivi!" Luffy turned to her in surprise. "You didn't know his face?!"

"No, I've never met Mr. 2, and Mr. 1, as well as his partner. I don't know their powers either." She backed into the wall, and slid down to the floor. "Though I've heard of rumors. Mr. 2 is... a ballerina with a large frame, who talks like a woman. He always wears a swan coat that has "Bon Clay" on the back."

"You should've noticed!" Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy reprimanded.

"What's the matter, Vivi?" Luffy asked.

"Among the faces that he showed from his past memory... from his memory," She choked up in fear, "I saw my father's face; the face of Alabasta's king, Nefertari Cobra."

"If, for example, you could mimic a king," Zoro started, "You'd be able to do quite bad things too."

"We let a troublesome guy slip away, huh?" Usopp remarked.

"Then he's our enemy?" Chopper asked.

"He's certainly quite a problem, if he's on our enemy's side," Nami observed, and approached the boys, "If he realizes that we're the enemy, if he transforms into one of us using his memory from earlier, we won't be able to trust our own friends."

"Really? Huh?"

"Listen, Luffy-"

"Well, hold on," Zoro cut Nami off, and laid a hand on the catain's shoulder, "It's true that his opinion doesn't have any basis, but he's right about us not having to be scared of him. We should consider ourselves lucky that we got to see him now, because we can figure out counter measures."

Just then, huge waves sent the Merry rocking, sending most of the crew running to the back, as something huge emerged before them. "Something came out!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Sea Cat!" Vivi gaped.

"It's a sea monster!" Usopp and Chopper screamed.

Zoro wielded all his swords. "It's the first meal in 4 days!"

"It's a meal!" Luffy glared in its direction.

"It's a kitty!" Venus gushed.

At the front, Nami checked the Log Pose. "We're on the right track. I hope we get there pretty soon."

"It's a meal!" Luffy repeated angrily.

The giant cat leaned away, fearing the hunger in their eyes. "Whoa, it backed away!" Zoro pointed out.

"Have the ship go back! Go back!" Luffy commanded.

"W-w-w-w-w-we can't!" Usopp stammered.

Just then, Sanji burst out of the kitchen. "Ah! Don't let it get away! Capture it without fail!" He joined Luffy and Zoro in glaring daggers at their prey, sleeves rolled up. "How should I cook you, cat monster?!"

Vivi grabbed a broom, pulled Venus back, and swung the three into the railing. "No!"

The cat swam back down into the ocean, free from harm. "Vivi!" Luffy glared. "You jerk! What're you doing?!"

"W-why, Vivi-chan?" Sanji whimpered.

"You can't eat it!" She scolded. "Sea Cats are a sacred animal in Alabasta!"

"You should've told us sooner!" Luffy complained.

"There sure are many kinds of creatures in the sea!" Chopper remarked.

Usopp shuddered behind him from the encounter. "Being scared of things like that... you've still got a long way to go." He jumped up with sudden confidence, one foot on a cannon. "Okay then! I'll tell you a story about when I bravely fought Sea Kings in the Calm Belt."

"Fought Sea Kings?!"

"Big Ones! They were this big!" He held out his arms.

"O-our food got away," Luffy lamented.

"But don't worry," Vivi tried to assure him, "You'll be able to stuff yourself soon."

"Really?!" He brightened up. "What cat will appear this time?!"

"No cats!" Venus scolded.

"Vivi!" Nami called for her. "The wind and weather seem to be becoming stable."

"Yes," She agreed, "We've entered Alabasta's climate area. A Sea Cat appearing is also the proof."

"And what we see behind us," Zoro smirked, "Is probably also proof of Alabasta being close."

They all turned to look; turned out, a horde of ships was all spread out. "There're so many ships!" Luffy exclaimed. "When did that happen?!"

Usopp looked closer with his goggles. "Hey! They all have the Baroque Works' symbol!"

"Its employees have started gathering. They're probably Billions; the Officer Agents' subordinates."

"Which means that our enemy is at least 200," Nami remarked.

"On top of that, they are 200 elites of Baroque Works. They're far from those bounty hunters in Whisky Peak."

Usopp frantically cranked to raise the cannon. "Should we fire at them while we can?!" He wiped his brow after the cannon was ready. "Let's get on it already!"

"It's quicker if we go there, and beat them up!" Luffy argued, before his stomach growled. "No, wait! We have to eat first!"

"Idiot!" Zoro smirked confidently. "Don't bother. They're small fries."

"He's right," Sanji agreed, "If we lose our real target, that'll be it. There're only 9 of us."

Later on, the crew were tying white cloths on their left wrists with a plan. "Anyway, tie it tight," Zoro urged, "Our enemy this time has too many mysteries."

"I see," Vivi tied Nami's for her.

"If we check this, we don't have to doubt our friends," The navigator concluded.

"Does that Clone-Clone Fruit guy really become so similar when he transforms?" Sanji asked, tying his own cloth with his teeth like the swordsman.

"You've no idea!" Usopp replied. "It's not "similar". It's "the same"! It's too bad! You should've seen it. We even danced with him. Oh!" He turned to a struggling Venus, and tied her cloth on her wrist for her. "There we go."

"Thanks, Usopp-kun," She smiled sheepishly.

"I'm not interested in a male ballerina."

"Knowing someone like that is among our enemy, we can't carelessly act alone," Zoro said.

"Hey, what should I do?" Chopper asked.

"Ahh... do what you can do," Usopp replied, "You don't have to do anything anymore. It's okay to run into the enemy you can't defeat!"

Sanji gave him a skeptical look, as he helped Karoo out of his tangled mess. "Aren't you telling that to yourself?"

"What I can do, huh?" Chopper muttered, then smiled confidently. "Got it!"

"I can see the island now!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Let's stop at the town called Nanohana," Vivi suggested, "We have to hide the ship."

"All right!" Luffy agreed. "At any rate, no matter what happens..." He held out his clothed wrist, "This thing on our left arm is the sign of our friendship!" They all formed a circle with their left fists. "Well then, we'll land! To a restaurant! Oh, and to Alabasta."

"It's a side note?" The rest of the crew griped.

Vivi touched her cloth, as she silently watched them discuss. "The enemy this time is an assassination gang, Luffy," Nami pointed out.

"Yeah, it is."

"Be careful about acting on instinct, okay?"

"You're right. I got it." Vivi smiled to herself through Luffy's assurance. "Yeah! That's right! Yeah! Got it!"

Sometime later, you and Kanata walks around the beach again as the sun is setting for the day.

"look a 'cat'~" not long later you guys spotted a feline sleeping in the sand.

"That cat looks kinda weirdddddd...." You mumble as you look at the small cat with the same hair color you use to have and eyes as well.

[....stfu.] you heard the feline inside of you say as you felt him glaring at you for calling the cat weird.

He seems to be in disbelief about something as he control you body to softly touch the cat head but soon become disappointed.

'whats wrong buddy? Was the cat similar to your lover or something ~ahahaha.' you jokingly tease him. [....no.] you can feel him lies through his words. Now you felt bad for making such insensitive joke--

"AHAHAH~" you laugh as you held the cat in your arms. The kitty meows at and bloop your nose. You giggle thinking how cute the cat is now especially since you can tease Ritsu along the way.

As play you with the cat kanata watch you in silent, he found himself daze again. You seems to glow with the sunset behind you.

"you look beautiful, my dollmaker." He found himself saying the thoughts off his head. He found his cheeks being so warm and felt like fluffy things flying in his stomach. It makes him unable to look at you. He felt shy. "Ah.... I'm going to 'die' cause of 'heat'!" He cover his face, it felt so warm and odd.

"huh?" You look at him who's being so silly right now. The kitty meows as your attention went elsewhere. Jumping off your arms. And looking at you and Kanata with interest in their eyes.

"ahh... Stop 'staring' for a moment... I felt I'll 'explode'...!" Kanata exclaim as you poke his cheeks. "Your being so cute. Being embarrassed. Ahaha." You tease him. He shyly look at you from behind the long sleeve he have.

"Your quite ' dangerous ' my dollmaker." He mumbles. Earning a question mark from you from such out of the blue statement.

"it seems you have 'charms' of 'helen from troy'." He seems to know a lot of stories from literature or history.

What a smart friend you have. You cannot help but be impress by Kanata once again.

"I 'thought' at first... The 'little miss' was being too young to know be 'swayed' away by 'emotional desire'." He seems to be really in a deep thought about his own situation right now.

"Ah... I wonder if I'll turn into to someone like an 'angel' that 'loaths' the world and 'the fate' for the so called 'emotion' of 'love'..." He mumbling more about some stuff you don't understand but hearing those words ritsu eyes widen in shock.

[.... What... That story...] Isn't that the derange pink angel story with that alternative version of you? He cannot believe his hearing this from someone who don't even know about the other worlds.... Unless.

"...did you just call me so beautiful I can destroy cities ~" you try to change the subject since ritsu is being very concerning with how his glaring at Kanata for answers and some sort of distrust.

"hmm. " Kanata nodded in agreement. "Not just cities. Even worlds." He can finally felt himself calm down as the sun have fallen asleep behind the clouds. The topic made him distracted a bit.

"that's exaggerating..." You sigh. The cat meows beside you. It seems the cat left just now as the cat have a little pouch in their mouth and put it to Kanata hand after nudging him.

"Oh~ thank you~" Kanata smiles at the cat but don't really went and pat the cat unlike you who carried the cat again to give some kisses which made the cat meows from being tickle by your affection.

"my dollmaker. Your very brave." The blue haired doll commented looking at you and the cat. "I cannot dare touch the little 'fairy' cause their 'mate' is watching us." He pointed behind you. "What mate..." You look behind you.

your eyes stared where his pointing, your eyes saw the most shiny coat, very cotton candy hair and almost like a walking bubble neon pink fluff that's hissing at you... For some reason.

[ what the fuck. ] You can hear ritsu having a very much in disbelief and bewilderment moment right now. [ Let go of that cat!] He quickly instructed you as you stare at the candy cat. Who's almost small as the one your holding.

Smoll but intimating as he tries to be. BUT HIS ONLY FLUFF BALL TRYING TO ACT TOUGH.

"wow how does a cat have a pink hair like you do, little fella?" You chuckle as you tried to pick up the car with your free hand as your other hand is holding the kitty.

The cat hiss and tried to claw your hand but you just laugh as you held the cat on the nape causing him to froze in instinct. The cat in your arm meows at the reaction of the cotton candy cat.

"what a nasty cat." You commented and your sure that the cotton candy cat just rolled his eyes at you.

"Kitty why is your mate so mean. Only his beautiful coat is giving him points. Divorce em." You did not know what bad thing your saying as the cat in your arms seems to meow softly before what seems to be a laugh from a cat.

[ oh gott. You sure have a death wish..] ritsu face palm at the sentence you just said.

"what? Why are you glaring at me little fella? Your glare is so cute. Trying to act tough but cannot even move from my hand." You laughs still holding onto the frozen pink cat in one hand.

In some part of you, you felt you know someone who reminded you of this cat.

"ah just like certain pinky I know... Well sort off. I forgotten who it was." You laugh as move the cat that's trying to claw you again, meowing so hatefully at you who's being affectionate by the other cat with them rubbing their head against your cheeks.

"ah.... If you... 'harm' my dollmaker. I will 'tell' the 'rat' about you, little angel." Kanata calmly says as he notice the situation.

"Also... That... Ahm... 'overseer' will not like you causing 'trouble' in this premise..." He really seems to trying to convince the angry fur ball about him snitching to someone. Through it seems to work yet it cause ritsu even more in state of disbelief.

[ *criminal offensive side eyes]

[ *bombastic side eyes]

"geez. It seems you know those cats." You commented as you put down the two cats. The pinky was about to jump on you when the nicer cat licks his face. Making him stops and become docile.

"AHAHAH! What a catsimpooo~" you chuckle as you watch the pink cotton ball give you a look but was calm by the kitty.

Before the cats meows and chat about something and soon they both left. Leaving you two staring but then you look at something on the ground and saw a candy.

"Ooh candy... " You open it up and eats it after cracking it into two to give ito to kanata who happily eats it with you, since you were getting hungry before ritsu can say something.

[... DONT JUST EAT THAT!!] oh his not getting paid enough to deal with this. 'its just candy.' you internally road your eyes. Ritsu already have his face on his hand. He cannot believe this, why are so dumb sometimes

Through he did realize earlier on that it was not the cat he knows... But the reason why they look similar cause that person is related with that crazy cat.

Honestly today sure is stressful. He learn lots of stuff and thinks his living a lie. Especially with that suspicious Kanata with you.

Yet he cannot say anything at the moment as you seems to enjoy Kanata company. And it's more nicer companion than certain someone he knows that's been with you for a long time.

Wooyoung fluff📖

Wooyoung x reader

🍂🧸

It's night time while you are fully stressed out for your last exam paper. Because of some school issues you have two subjects together. 1 paper 3 hours...so from 8:00 am till 2:00 pm everything ends. You were just busy cursing at school and your phone hit notification, it was wooyoung asking to call him, but you don't have time to talk to him so you just ignored him and started forcing yourself to study.

You then received call from wooyoung, you didn't picked it up until he called you for 3 times, so you finally picked up his called him and shouted on him "what is it wooyoung don't you know about my exams tomorrow?" He then replied "I just wanted to tell you that you one book is here with me, you told me that in this one you have some questions written that may come in exam, so if you want then I can come at your place to give it to you..." He was waiting for your response but here your brain was just fcked up cuz that would have made your study more easy. You than shouted "ohh can you please come quickly and give it to me? Please please pleeeeease" "ok ok don't say these much please, I will be there in few minutes".

After hanging up the call you rushed to the gate outside of your house. You were waiting for him then finally saw the headlights of his bike so you rushed to him. "Thank you for bringing me the book" he replied "yes but why did you cane till here? I would have came there" "I am in hurry" after saying that you were about to leave but turned around and gave him a kiss more like a peck on his lips. Before you could leave he said "baby, during exam don't read everything cuz it may contain the question that you couldn't do, and also you will get tensed, so just go with a flow" after saying that you two smiled at each other and without wasting a second you rushed to your home and started revising only the question which you thought would come in exam.

The next day you woke up early and after your morning routine you started revising and left for home. During the exam looking at the paper and remembered what wooyoung said so you didn't read the question and started the paper and soon finished the first paper. Now here, when it starts getting worst, you started forgetting the answer of the other paper, at the point you really wanted to cry hard but you controlled yourself.

After the paper, you saw wooyoung waiting for you at the school gate. You saw his smile and started running towards him. You jumped on him and started crying on his shoulder. He held you tight while letting you cry. "I won't say anything about today's..." He stopped himself from saying paper cuz he already knew that your paper didn't went as planned. You then got down from him while he wiped your tears and you said "and what about your paper?" And he replied "do you think my paper will go better? It was the worst and the saddest part is that my exams are gonna tomorrow, ahh why am I older than you? You guys are having fun cuz your exams are end arghh" you told him "it's ok my baby let's go for walk before going home" he then nodded and you both decided to go to a garden.

You two were walking while eating the cotton candies. Wooyoung was distracting you from your exams the whole time. Then you two sat on a bench. While Wooyoung was talking his rubbish, you were just staring at his eyes and you knew that he was just distracting you. You turned fully to him, he looked at you too, you smiled at him and he smiled at you as well cuz he knew what you're going to do. You said "thank you Wooyoung" and he asked you "for what baby?" And you answered him "for everything sweetie" and after saying that you leaned to kiss him. He pulled up just to say "my pleasure" and he again kissed you. Soon you both pulled up and remembered that you were literally kissing in the garden so you both just laughed and started talking rubbish.

There had been a sense of joy whenever she caught a grasp of those. Munching on sweet flavors, and letting them melt in her tongue.

Despite not celebrating Halloween much as a kid, Claude did eat candy. Whether it's licorice or a pack of life-savers, she had an immense amount of favorites. And she enjoyed cotton candy more than most, savoring it's strange yet soft texture.

It also helped that she had a friend (namely Cisco Ramon) who had top-notch tastes in candy. She bought anything that was worth trying out. She often sent some to him in case he didn't have energy to buy for himself.

However, she tried not to indulge in them too often. Only in particular random occasions.

Somehow, it all changed upon her discovery of cotton candy vodka, which could very well be. . . too intoxicating for her system. And she only drank it whenever she experienced acute misery.

To say she didn't drink that to numb some emotions out of her would be utterly false.

***

For all their fondness for different animals, Titanrin preferred the company of parrots and horses. They happened to have particular preference for what type of creature they would have as a companion.

However, they did admit they had seen creatures with entertaining dispositions.

In one of their sojourns, they encountered a strange dog. Rather cowardly and prone to fleeing whenever strangers approach. They had watched from afar, curious of what it would do.

To them, they had known dogs with severe aggression or placid friendliness. And that dog was neither, seemingly unsure of how to behave. What they could guess was that it hadn't been around people much.

So, they wouldn't blame them for acting the way it did. And they managed to give it some light scratches behind it's ears, gaining it's brief trust with some treats. It slipped away, immediately skittering off elsewhere.

Dogs, while confusing and odd, could vary from any breeds. And one ought to be wise to not be confused and assume they all had the same traits. Or it would be a faux pas.

Nightmaren Babies Ch 18

Meanwhile, Back on Attilio's Stage...

When it came to NiGHTS, and having sugar, it never ended well. Ever. Add the fact that they were now a baby, and you had a recipe for disaster. Knowing this, the group had prepared accordingly, various nets, baby carriers, warm milk, and calming music to try and calm NiGHTS down. However, the group also were a bit afraid, given that NiGHTS could pop out at any given moment.

"N-NiGHTS?" Emma called out. "C-C'mon NiGHTS...It's naptime..." Trisha Jane added. But the kids didn't see the purple maren anywhere. Suddenly, a small sound was heard...something that sounded like a small voice in a hunting voice saying 'Cotton Candy...'

And all of a sudden...

GROWL!! HISS!!!

A flash of purple jumped onto Kaylo's head and tried to rip her pink hair right off her head "AHH! NO!! BAD NiGHTS!! DOWN!!" She shouted in pain and terror, trying to wrench the purple maren from her head. The others looked in horror before they went to help wrangle the small jester, only to have them scramble their way down the rest of the pink haired girl, prompting the others to give chase.

When NiGHTS finally DID get off of Kaylo, they had taken a small chunk of Kaylo's hair along with it. The kids looked in shock at what happened "Well...at least we found NiGHTS..." Emma said, panting from the earlier ordeal. "Yes...but they're like a sugar crazed gremlin now! How on EARTH are we going to keep them under control long enough to calm them down?!" Kaylo asked, still shook from her little 'Attack'

"Well it seems that NiGHTS will come out for a while. But only with the same treats that makes children smile." Balan said. That's when Trisha Jane had an idea. "I think I know how to lure NiGHTS out. But Kaylo's gonna have to be the bait." She said. The pink haired girl stared in horror. "M-Me?! Did you not just see what Happened?!" She asked shakily "Yes. NiGHTS thought your hair was cotton candy, which means if you stand out in the open long enough, with a lot of sugar on your body, NiGHTS will come out again." Trisha Jane said.

Kaylo still was against the idea "Yeah. And what am I supposed to do? Stand out in the open wearing an outfit completely made out of sugar?" She asked sarcastically. However, she failed to see Balan raising his hands, and snapping his fingers, causing her entire appearance to change. True to her words, now she had on an entire outfit made out of sugar. She now donned a dress decked out in dozens of candies and deserts, her boots now made of rainbow cake, and dipped in icing while her hair was even longer and fluffier than before, while a big candy crown sat on her head.

The pink haired girl looked at her new look with horror "NO! NO NO NO!! I REFUSE to be the bait!" She protested. Mei placed a hand on her shoulder "It'll be alright. As soon as NiGHTS jumps out, we'll be ready. We'll keep NiGHTS down long enough for you to play the flute and lull them to sleep." She said. Kaylo still didn't like the plan, but NiGHTS wouldn't come out any other way, so she begrudgingly nodded her head before the others hid inside of the stands that were destroyed by the sugar high jester, waiting for them to strike...

[ticklish-n-stuff]

It's for science

So long story short, I have a thing for Kaito's hips DJSJDJAHJS (i know im a degenerate LMAO). Idk man I just can't look away whenever they get moving👀 xD. Anyways, I was like 'why not give him super duper ticklish hips'. And who else to exploit that sensitivity other than Rui. And that's how I got here. Hope y'all enjoy!

___________________________________________

Kaito (wxs) x Rui (platonic)

Lee: Kaito

Ler: Rui

Warnings: Tickles!

___________________________________________

There were many things that Rui was curious about when it came to the Sekai. Like how was it created? What's inside the living plushies? Do the clouds really taste like cotton candy?? Very important questions indeed. Sadly for most of them he wasn't able to get a proper answer. Although there was one thing he always wondered about the vocaloids that inhabited the Sekai. Even though they were virtual singers, in the Sekai they were just like any other normal human. Which created this question in Rui's head... can vocaloids be ticklish? He's not sure why he wants to know. Although if it turns out to be truthful it might be fun to mess around with them, and that's the only excuse Rui could ever need to test that theory out.

One day he was roaming around the Sekai all by his lonesome. Seeing what kind of mischief- I mean seeing what the vocaloids were up to. He eventually stumbled upon Kaito who was unboxing some new props backstage. "Ohh Kaito, what are you up to?".

"Just getting the props ready for our next show. What are you doing here? Did something happen??" poor Kaito couldn't help but kick into his overprotective brotherly instincts.

"Oh no I'm fine, promise. Actually I wanted to ask you something?".

"Ahh okay, what did you want to know?".

"Are you ticklish by any chance?" asked Rui with a mischevious smirk on his face.

Kaito was taken aback by the question, his cheeks softly growing red. "Uhh... n-no I'm not" he tried to give his most convincing smile as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. Sadly for Kaito, he sucked at lying.

But Rui decided to play along "Aww I see, well I'll leave you be now". Kaito nodded as he shifted his attention back to the stage props. What he didn't realize was that a certain purple individual had snuck up on him.

"Gotcha~" teased out Rui as he gave Kaito's hips a surprise squeeze from behind. It sent the poor vocaloid jumping like a startled cat. Earning an ear-shattering squeal in the proccess. If Kaito wasn't flustered before, he definitely was now. "So you are ticklish~".

"Y-you just startled me is all!" Kaito tried defending himself but he was a lost cause.

"Is that so? So you won't mind if I do this~?" he gave Kaito's hips another squeeze.

"EEP-!" Kaito quickly slapped a hand over his mouth, trying to muffle the embarrassing sounds.

"Hehe, seems pretty ticklish to me~" Rui kept repeatedly squeezing the dreaded spot. Earning the funniest squeals and cackles from the male vocaloid.

"PFFT! AHAHAHAHA! R-RUI STAHAHAP!" he tried to swat away at the evil hands but Rui was as stubborn as he was mischevious. Kaito's knees started to buckle and he crumpled down to the floor, but Rui easily followed him to the ground. Opting to now scribble at the ticklish hipbones.

"Tiiickle tickle tickle! Coochi coochi coo~!" he teased the vocaloid relentlessly, and it was very effective. Kaito's face grew redder by the second. He had his eyes completely squeezed shut as he threw his head back in laughter.

"GYAHAHAHA! D-DOHOHON'T!" Kaito kept on screeching like a maniac as he flailed his arms around. He was so ticklish he wasn't even sure how to react.

Seeing as his eyes were starting to get watery, Rui decided to switch spots and started to softly trace along his tummy and sides. Kaito instantly gasped for air as he produced the cutest giggles at the softer touch. "Ahahaha..! W-what wahas thahat fohohor?!".

"Uhh... i-it's for science! Mmhm!" Rui nodded his head to try to seem convincing, but his own goofy smile gave him away. I guess there was no harm in letting him have a bit of fun, Kaito thought. Rui then moved up to his ribs, poking and prodding at the ticklish bones.

"Eek! Hahahahahaha!" Kaito instantly wrapped his arms around his torso as he curled up on himself. Trying his best to not squirm away.

Rui quickly caught onto what he was doing, and found it rather adorable that he was letting himself be tickled willingly. "Does someone like the ticki ticki tickles~?" obviously Rui just HAD to tease him some more.

"Gyahahahaha- *snort*! S-shuhuhush!" Kaito's face somehow got even redder at the snort that escaped him.

"Aww haha I didn't expect you to sound like a cute 'lil piggy~" Rui kept on pinching the tickle spot, earning even more funny sounds from the other.

"Gahahahaha- *snort* S-stahahap thahat!".

"Hehe alright" Rui stopped messing with the vocaloid, giving him a quick breather. "Hmm... are you ticklish up here~?" asked Rui as he tried to worm his fingers up to Kaito's armpits.

"AHH! W-WAHAHAIT!" Kaito screeched out as Rui quickly halted his fingers.

"What's wrong? Is it a bad spot??".

"I'm juhuhust vehery ticklish thehehere..!" said Kaito through flustered giggles.

"Oooh. I'll be gentle, I promise" replied Rui with a genuine caring smile. Kaito was a bit hesitant, but he then slowly put his arms up. Rui's smile grew wider as he started to softly draw small circles on Kaito's armpits.

"Pfft! Ahahahaha! It tihickles so bahahad!" giggled out Kaito as he softly kicked his legs out to try to distract himself from the tickly feeling. He struggled so badly to keep his arms up, but he managed to somehow.

"Whaaaat? But I'm barely touching you hehe~" teased Rui as he wiggled a single finger under each arm. "Tiiickle tickle tickle~" he said in a sing-songy voice.

"WAH! HAHAHAHAHA! N-NAHAT THAHAHAT!" Kaito screamed in laughter as his arms instantly came crashing down, leaving Rui's tickly fingers trapped under them. He squeezed his eyes shut once again as he scrunched up his nose all cutely.

"Hehe, who would've thought you'd be so sensitive to two 'lil fingers~" Rui chuckled as he kept tormenting Kaito's armpits with the two wiggly fingers. The poor vocaloid was absolutely losing it. He even started babbling out random nonsense.

"RUI P-PLEHEHEASE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!".

Not wanting to overwhelm him, Rui slipped his fingers out of his armpits. This time giving him a proper break. "Are you okay?? Sorry if I took it too far..." said Rui with a saddened expression as he averted the vocaloid's gaze.

"Ahahahaha..! I-I'm fihihine..! It was kinda fun actually... so plehease don't feheel bad" replied Kaito through aftermath giggles.

Rui couldn't help but smile at that response. "So you did like it~" he couldn't help but tease him as he gave his tummy a quick poke.

"EEP! D-dohon't tease mehe!".

Rui giggled as he helped Kaito back up to his feet. "Uhm... I guess I should stop bothering you now" he turned around to leave but Kaito quickly stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Hold on, I wanted to ask you something".

"Oh, what is it?".

Kaito's face turned into one of mischief as he asked "are you ticklish?".

Rui's eyes widened when Kaito teasingly turned his hands into claws. "Uhh... W-would you look at the time! I should really get going, I have to go... feed my robot!" he excused himself as he quickly zoomed on out of the room.

"Hey! Get back here! I'm not done with you!" Kaito yelled as he playfully chased Rui all over the Sekai. At the end of the day, Rui got a taste of his own medicine.

___________________________________________

You just know that Kaito and Rui would have tickle fights all the time, that's just facts.

Anyways this was a lot of fun to write! I really enjoy writing for this duo

I love how this escalated from me wanting to give Kaito ticklish hips to...whatever this is lmao. What can I say, gotta relieve the lee mood somehow ajrhqkfjsjdh

"Memory: Read Error"

'Hyaaa! How's THAT, nerd?'

Susie thrust her palms outward, releasing the magical energy gathered there into a luminant green sphere. Then, with a soul-curdling roar, she launched the ball outwards, directly towards Ralsei. It struck him full-force in the chest, exploding into a shower of green fireworks that lit up the room with an eerie glow.

'Yeah! Direct hit!' she called out, pumping her fist.

The prince sniffed, taking stock of the aftermath. Three hitpoints this time. She was definitely improving.

'I... can't help but feel like we need to work on your, um... temperament, Susie,' he said with a weary smile. 'For a healer, it's a little... well... adverserial.'

'You mean AWESOME!' she shot back. ''Sides, I gotta put everything I have into it, else what's the point?'

Ralsei considered this. 'Erm, yes... that... makes sense! I-in any case, you're really making progress with your healing - I'm very proud of you, Susie!'

This unfettered praise threw the dragoness, and she turned her back to him, running a claw through her tangled mane. 'Y-yeah, whatever dude... Heh... y'know, I'll be a better healer than you one day!'

To her irritation, he only seemed happier to hear that, clapping his hands together excitedly. 'I'm certain you will! I can't wait to see you reach your potential!'

Her smug grin fell slightly. 'Y'know, dude, when someone makes fun of you, you're not supposed to- ahh, forget it.'

She threw herself on the floor with a harrumph, nodding to the side to indicate Ralsei should join her. He set himself gently down opposite her, propped on his knees in a very prim manner befitting a prince.

'I'd kill for some more of that cotton candy they had back in Cyber City,' said Susie after a short while. 'That was the good stuff, all neon pink and fluffy like a cloud... remember that, Ralsei?'

He nodded enthusiastically. 'Of course! It sure was yummy, wasn't it? I can see if-'

'Yeah, and that time I saved you from gettin' pancaked by all them cars?'

'Haha, yes... I do recall that,' he said, turning his head away slightly. 'Although... well, as I remember it, it was you that tripped me in the first place...'

'It was a JOKE, man!' she grunted. 'I wouldn't have actually let you... y'know.'

'Haha, it's okay.'

Yes, he did know she'd never let anything bad happen to him. That's... just the sort of person Susie was. And it wasn't like he was ever in any real danger, anyway.

Even if it actually had happened like she remembered it.

'You ok, dude?' said Susie, tapping Ralsei's head with a hooked claw. 'You seem a little bit... lost?'

The prince turned to her with a reassuring smile. 'Oh, no, I'm alright! I was just, um. Thinking about how funny memories can be, sometimes.'

'...what, like funny ha-ha, or...?'

''No, more like... how two people can remember the same thing differently. Almost like there's two versions of it that happened. Does... that make any sense?'

Susie contemplated this for a moment. 'That's deep stuff, man. Like, can we ever know if we ever see the same thing the same way?'

The prince's eyes widended. 'Susie, you...'

'Like the cotton candy,' she went on. 'When I look at it, it's pink, right? But what if you saw it as, like... green, or somethin'?'

Ralsei raised a finger in weak protest. 'Well, it'd be green then... w-wouldn't it...?'

'No, see! You'd SEE green, but you'd still CALL it pink!' The dragoness gestured excitedly towards him, waving her arms erratically to underscore her assertion. 'So your ACTUAL green might look like blue to me, an' all the other colours would be swapped around and stuff! Ain't that crazy, Ralsei?'

'B-but how would either of us, um...' he started, but then gave up attempting to argue. Susie's enthusiasm was starting to rub off on him, and he smiled warmly at how much she was enjoying the discussion. '...yeah, that would be something to see, alright.'

'Hell yeah it would!' she said. 'Like, I think I just make a new scientific discovery or something, you know? Hey, maybe Kris and I could make it the topic of our group project? That'd be SICK!'

'Haha, it certainly would be!' said Ralsei warmly. 'But... all this talk of cotton candy has made me awfully hungry. Shall I get us some more to eat before we resume training?'

'Whuh...?' Susie grumbled, forehead furrowed with thought.

'You, um... didn't forget we were training... did you?'

'I, uh, NO,' she lied.

'...okay,' said Ralsei. 'I'll be right back then! Did you want pink or green flavour?'

The dragoness looked up at him to see he was sticking out his tongue and winking. She snorted and turned away, but couldn't completely hide her goofy grin from him.

'Smartass,' she said. '...but, uh, thanks man. It's... been a blast hangin' out with you.'

Ralsei's smile went all wobbly. 'Aww, Susie! That's so sweet!'

Her head snapped towards him, teeth bared. 'YEAH YEAH DON'T MILK IT OKAY?'

'Y-yes, sorry!' he laughed, skipping away with a spring.

Once he was certain she couldn't see or hear him anymore, Ralsei clutched at his chest with both hands, his breathing laboured, and slumped against the nearby wall, its uneven brickwork harsh and grating against his back.

She... she really believed that, didn't she? That all they'd done was hang out, eat cotton candy, and practiced healing magic. And he was happy that she thought that, happy that she looked back on that time so fondly. It cracked his heart in two to think that.

He could imagine it like that, if he tried. Walking through the bustling streets, enduring her practical jokes, the sumptuously sweet taste and fibery, cloudlike texture of cotton candy. In fact, he wasn't entirely sure it didn't actually happen like that.

...but he knew that it didn't. He knew.

White space stretched out in his memory, so absolute and infinite that it was almost impossible to tell down from up. There he stood, frozen in this timeless limbo, gazing outward into oblivion with hands clasped firmly behind his back and a puppetlike rictus grin upon his face.

He could feel other presences in that void. Other Ralseis. One for each action he could take, frozen mid-pose like a morbid rogue's gallery. Each experiencing the exact same hell he was, each asking themselves the same question, and receiving exactly the same dead silence in response.

They were him, and he was them. He found that he could flick through their heads like pages of a flipbook, his body contorting to match their posture. Too slowly to simulate actual movement. Each Ralsei also had a name, though to call it a name was... strings of letters, numbers and dashes, incomprehensable to his feeble mind, like the language of calculating, unsentimental gods. Each called upon when needed, and returned like index cards when they'd served their purpose.

And somewhere else, he knew, was Susie. That lively, boisterous presence, larger-than-life, fragmented and scattered across this digital easel. Yet she did not know. He'd been aware of that, even before she'd confirmed it earlier. Her mind, unattuned as it was to the secrets of their world, had painted itself a sanctuary, a version of what could likely have happened in Kris's absence. A veneer of sanity stretched out across the blank canvas of cold, maddening reality.

All Ralsei knew for certain was that everything depended on the sight of their gods. To be regarded by them was to be permitted to exist, to move and act in accordance with the script you were given. But their viewpoint was tied to Kris... or more accurately, the shining red SOUL piloting Kris. Should anyone stray from their side, they and the world around them would vanish, banished to some primordial memory-scape until such a time as they were required for the continued functioning of the world.

But the gods were capricious beings, and did not always follow the rules they were supposed to. This moment was one of those times. Someone or something had called both he and Susie from that sea of tranquility, to serve some as-yet-unknown purpose. Was this in service of the prophecy? Or merely to sate their unknowable curiosity? The latter thought made the prince shudder. What hope had any of them, when subject to the whims of such unaccountable powers?

...yet such burdens were his to carry. He had known this from the moment of his inception. When viewed within the greater scope of his mission, when seen as trials to overcome, obstacles to test his conviction, such terrors loosened their grip upon his heart. He had conquered them before, and he could do so again. As many times as needed.

And in the meantime, there were friends to spend time with, and cotton candy to retrieve. And nothing, not even these nameless, unknowable entities, would stop Ralsei from being the best friend he could be to them.

...besides, Susie would probably yank his scarf if he took too long.
