shamelesshookery | KAITO: SHADOW GARBAGE AU EDITION OPEN POST

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 :))

Mmkay. Thanks.

[Stops eating and leansss 'x']

You're welcome.

[ ...questioning noise? ]

[An equally questioning noise?]

—oh, are you done?

Yeah. I'm full.

[Not that he ate much, but let's be honest about the state of his stomach after a long time not eating]

[ that occurs to him after a moment ]

Aah. Leftovers, then... You should probably try to snack a lot until your stomach adjusts; otherwise you won't actually get enough food to keep you from getting sick.

[ resuming drape and slow tailwags ]

Okay. I'll probably need reminding, though.

Oh, no. I'll have to mother hen you. Whatever will I do.

Oh, right, you'll love that.

[ laughing ]

Pretty much. It'll be nice being able to do something tangible for you.

I still don't get why you want to so badly, but if it makes you happy...

[ shrugs ]

I have an easier time doing things for people to show affection than using words. ...Or I did, anyway. I'd probably have less trouble at the moment.

Ah. I can kind of get that, even though he sucks at both.

[ ...hairscritch ]

It makes it special when he does manage. Still, I'm glad you're here.

[...Smiles back.]

Thank you.

[ nope, dere has hit critical mass

kisses Harvey on the forehead. and then gets up to deal with leftovers because he managed to fluster himself a little ]

[Just watches him, still smiling, radiating fondness through their connection.]

[ so it turns out when the tsun/dere balance in their relationship is upset too much Kaito apparently has to pick up the slack

nnnot looking at Harvey but his ears are swiveled backward at him, he's doing these little uncertain restrained tailwags, and he's generally giving off flustered affection and confusion and how is he supposed to handle these feelings, it's like he forgot. ]

Is that how he is all the time?

Ah— who, your "surface" self?

Yeah.

Hmmm... close. He's a little more subtle than I'm being, I think... And I get the feeling that he'd rather not express it at all, whereas I'd like to and just get caught up in the logistics of doing so.

... That sounds about right, yeah.

[ vaguely pleased that he knows Harvey well enough to peg him correctly. sympathetic, though ]

...There isn't much point in showing affection if you're trying to prevent attachment.

[ been there, done that ]

That's the most frustrating thing about him.
