KAITO: SHADOW GARBAGE AU EDITION OPEN POST

[was_no_monster]

Because sometimes you love both the split personality and inner demons tropes way too much, and there's only one way to handle it.

THE AU IS RIDICULOUS, but all you really need to know is Kaito got humanity's malice dumped into his head along with ridiculous power, and his way of coping with both that and the trauma involved was to shove it all in with everything else he represses the heck out of and then completely dissociate himself from it. End result: what he thinks of as his inner monster has completely split off into a personality of its own, following the imagery and pattern left behind by the Shadow from that one time the Vocaloid Dressing Room had a Persona event.

(Please don't judge me.)

Feel free to pick a scenario, if you can't think of one just blank tag this sucker and I'll come up with something!

Warning! There will be a decently high probability of maiming in this post! If you're not okay with that, that's cool; just let me know in a comment header or something and I will have normal Kaito intervene. (Alternately, if you want to get mauled... well. All you have to do is ask :))

[oh //// you're fussing at me //// turning his head to nuzzle into Tristan's stomach]

Not when you're used to it. I've always been angry, and I've always been left wanting, so it isn't really all that different. I'm at least being listened to, now.

[downvoted]

[Of course I am fussing. Makes a kind of ticklish noise and squirm at the face in his stomach but settles immediately, back to petting.]

I suppose people will get used to anything... Were you ignored before?

[was_no_monster]

He kept me locked up.

[downvoted]

[Recalling what he's seen of Kaito's mind...]

He was afraid of hurting anyone, wasn't he?

[was_no_monster]

[humming in agreement]

And he didn't want to want to, even though it only made sense we would with what had been done to us. So he pushed it down every time he did, every time he felt something he didn't think he should, every time we wanted something and he thought he didn't deserve it.

But things like that... they don't just go away if you put them somewhere and try to forget about them.

[His fingers still in Kaito's hair. Thinking about that. He's well versed in pain and trauma but from a very different perspective. Even still he can sympathize with not wanting to hurt others, with being so scared of it it makes you sick. He resumes his gentle petting.]

You don't seem so different.

[was_no_monster]

[good, he was about to start grouching about that. butting his head back against Tristan's hand with a throaty chuckle]

You aren't someone either of us wants to hurt. And you're someone he trusted enough to show a lot of the things he usually shoved in with me, so you've seen them already.

[downvoted]

[Well that just makes his heart flutter and his chest tighten, his hand steady and just enjoying this comfortable company.]

I'm honored. But is it really all right for both of you, like this?

[was_no_monster]

...It isn't "all right," exactly... Even if I can handle it, I don't want to be hungry forever. Neither of us want to have to be the kind of monster that eats the living.

[rolling carefully over onto his back so he can look at Tristan]

But... aah, it's hard to explain. We've been fighting each other for so long... we both got tired of it, but neither of us could really stop until this made us.

[downvoted]

You're... Not at odds like this, then?

[He cups Kaito's face thoughtfully, thumb brushing over his cheek.]

[was_no_monster]

[turns his head and kind of mouths at Tristan's palm]

We still argue. But we listen to each other, too.

[downvoted]

That at least sounds an improvement.

[He goes still a moment then moves his hand, thumb brushing over Kaito's lips.]

Kaito...

[was_no_monster]

[parting his lips for that and blinking at him, heavy-lidded]

Mmm?

[downvoted]

[He smooths the pad of his thumb just along Kaito's lower lip, almost in his mouth.]

If you are ever in need, I can feed you.

[was_no_monster]

[enjoy that objective flush. ...well, for the few seconds it takes before he scowls and and turns his head away]

No, Tristan.

[downvoted]

It wouldn't be the first time I've been eaten. And it's not something I... Mind.

[He flushes himself.]

[was_no_monster]

[still looks kind of offended, but...]

... You like it?

[downvoted]

[He kind of doesn't want Kaito to think less of him but.]

My tastes aren't very normal.

[was_no_monster]

[... :T sitting up and getting right in Tristan's face, bumping their noses together]

Remember who you're talking to.

[downvoted]

[Blinking in surprise. Always pleased and flustered by affection from Kaito.]

The offer gave you offense though.

[was_no_monster]

I told you we didn't want to hurt you. You've never—

...oh. Wait, yes you have.

[the affection is still there— but nose-to-nose like that, it's impossible to miss the way his eyes narrow, go slightly cold and eager.

draping :) on Tristan :)))]

[downvoted]

...I have what?

[It's not like he'll shove Kaito off at all, or recoil even. Despite the eerie shift he leans his forehead against Kaito's, meeting his eyes.]

[was_no_monster]

[nuzzles, reaching up to pet the hair at the nape of his neck]

You hurt us. I forgot, since you made it better later, but you really hurt us.

That means it's only right that I make you hurt, too.

[downvoted]

That isn't why I offered...

[He stops lets out a breath and pushes Kaito's hair from his face.]

If you feel that way.

[was_no_monster]

[nnno you're so good //////]

I've always felt that way.

[and before Tristan can pull that hand away, he's turning and biting it, hard]
