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 :))

You're welcome.

[ there are already bowls for Harvey and Tristan. Kaito doesn't seem to have gotten one for himself, though ]

[coaldhearted]

[slowly realizes that...]

Are you not gonna have any?

[was_no_monster]

...It's hard to stop eating if I start. I don't get anything out of it anymore, anyway, so...

[ there's a brush of... something from him, clawing hunger so intense and desperate it's almost not even about fulfilling physical need so much as it is about trying to fill up a sense of emptiness ]

[coaldhearted]

[Oh

Leaning turns to desperate clinging. He wants to help but he knows he can't, knows he wouldn't be allowed to even if he could and he has limits but he can at least cuddle the hell out of Kaito.]

[was_no_monster]

[ o-oh '/-' he's embarrassed in a low-key sort of way, like it was rude to let that slip, but those cuddles are strongly approved of— a much quieter craving goes quiet at the contact, satisfied ]

...So how fussy do you think your usual self will be with me for taking advantage of you...

[ mostly teasing ]

[coaldhearted]

[Clings tighter, ever so slightly.]

Who cares?

[A little sharp, I'm here, I'm the one that matters right now.]

[was_no_monster]

[ ...right, he didn't exactly start with an amiable relationship with his Shadow (his "false self?"). what is he thinking...

well, besides "cute." draping ]

I like all of you. I'll drop it, though.

[coaldhearted]

[A kind of fussy growl, the sound coming a lot more easily to this side of him, but he lets it drop after a few moments, leaning relaxed into Kaito.]

Okay.

I don't think it's taking advantage, anyway.

[was_no_monster]

[ cUTE ]

Mmm?

[coaldhearted]

He doesn't know his own mind half the time, and he avoids thinking at all even more than that.

Since I don't do that, aren't I harder to take advantage of?

[was_no_monster]

...That's true. If I'm taking advantage of either of you in that sense, it isn't you.

[coaldhearted]

Don't go feeling bad or something. If it's you, it's fine.

[was_no_monster]

[ WOW right in the dere. laughing ]

All right, all right. I'm just fussy about that sort of thing; he acts like he's not used to anyone caring about his opinions, and it makes me angry.

[coaldhearted]

That's 'cause he's not.

[Matter of fact, a little bewildered-- why would he be used to that?]

[was_no_monster]

[ ah yes it's time for my semiregular fantasy about going to where you're from and viciously murdering whoever helped settle that sort of thinking in your head. as well as the parties responsible for your everything.

outwardly mildly grumpy, as though he weren't really obviously contemplating really angry violence ]

Which is frankly stupid bullshit. Your opinions should matter.

[coaldhearted]

They don't, though. I mean, it's sweet that you want them to. It's one of the things we really like about you, how you stick to that even though at this point you could do pretty much anything you want with us.

[was_no_monster]

[ ...it's Kaito's turn to cling tighter, protective. he's literally starting to bristle a bit, his hair fluffing up enough for his flattened ears to almost disappear into it ]

They matter to me. ...Do they really not matter to anyone else of yours from back home?

[coaldhearted]

Kieli cares.

[Tilts his head a little, carding fingers through Kaito's fluffed hair.]

It's okay.

[was_no_monster]

[ ...starts defluffing as soon as Harvey mentions her. he might have been insinuating, there... ]

...Not really, but I'm not arguing about it more until at least after you've eaten.

[coaldhearted]

Mm. Don't want it to get cold.

[was_no_monster]

It doesn't taste nearly as good that way.

[ draping is going to continue until my morale improves though ]

[coaldhearted]

[Okay you just get to experience the awkward motions of him eating

Or trying to eat, depending on if chopsticks.]

[was_no_monster]

[ I am not that cruel and also I don't care

which might actually be a little bit your fault ]

[coaldhearted]

[Whoops

Well, his eating is mostly awkward because he hasn't done it in ages and udon is slippery but he's working hard and eating with gusto]

[was_no_monster]

[ pretty much goes from being kind of edge to utter contentment at that. what a mother hen...

pulling back until he's just leaning instead of full drape ]

Good?
