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 :))

[ sldkjfd d-dere. leaning back in his chair in Tristan's direction, like he'd rather be leaning on him ]

What, that I'm occasionally fussy about my food?

[royallyfuckedup]

[Oh... He flushes a little and scoots closer, pulling up a chair so he can sit right next to Kaito.]

That, and you like sweet things.

[was_no_monster]

[ well now you've done it. cheekbumping the top of Tristan's head ]

I actually don't, much... I like ice cream and most traditional sweets, but that's about it. Most of my baking is for other people.

[royallyfuckedup]

...Somehow that's even sweeter.

[His dere is kind of intensifying really.]

[was_no_monster]

[ makes a really confused noise around the mouthful of egg rolled up in pancake he just took? /////??? why dere ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[Gently bumps his shoulder against Kaito's, just drinking his coffee and feeling really warmly fond of Kaito.]

[was_no_monster]

[ flustered internal simpledog noises intensify... just as fond, though. leaning back against him, careful not to rest enough of his weight on Tristan to be uncomfortable while he tries to devour the food in as controlled of a manner as possible ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[He blushes slightly, what a nice feedback of fondness. He just, turns and steals a kiss on Kaito's cheek while he's too busy eating to escape it.]

[was_no_monster]

[ positive feedback loops are admittedly a really great thing about this mess. that's very rude, though, his mouth is full so he can't kiss back, either!

or. well. it was full, he fixed that by swallowing without chewing :') returning the favor by nuzzling at Tristan's temple with a huff ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[Huffs a little.]

You're supposed to chew, Kaito.

[was_no_monster]

I'm not going to kiss you while my mouth is full, Tristan, and I'm afraid that takes higher priority than good manners as far as I'm concerned.

[royallyfuckedup]

[Goes a little red.]

Flirt.

[was_no_monster]

I've had good teachers.

[ kissing his cheek properly and taking another bite AND YES, CHEWING THIS TIME ]

[royallyfuckedup]

You really have lightened up.

[was_no_monster]

... In places, at least.

[royallyfuckedup]

Still, it's nice to see you more relaxed.

[was_no_monster]

[ ...leans on him some more. tristandrape. ]

I could say the same thing for you, honestly.

[ wait. damn it. ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[Tenses a little but just stays leaned against Kaito.]

Is it...?

[was_no_monster]

[ self-recrimination and apology :( ]

...Mmm. You're... you become fairly concerned with how you present yourself. I suppose we could be said to have switched places, a bit.

[royallyfuckedup]

[Kind of sips his coffee, uncomfortable, trying to mentally avoid thinking about it.]

Well, if that's how it is it must be tough.

[was_no_monster]

...

[ firmly ]

You're still you. It's fine.

[ and now he's going to down half of his own coffee in the clearest nonverbal "and now I am dropping the subject" he can manage and regret everything ]

[royallyfuckedup]

[The amount he believes that is zero but he just tries not to think about it.]

[Focus on something else. Like how nice and warm it is to lean against Kaito.]

[was_no_monster]

[ ...that, at least, he can help with. putting on arm around Tristan's shoulders for a sidehug ]

[royallyfuckedup]

I've always been fond of you, you know.

[was_no_monster]

[ for whatever reason—the suddenness of the declaration, maybe, or the timing compared to what they'd just been talking about—those words get a sharp stab of grief, cut off almost before it could be registered ]

I do. ...You're precious to me, Tristan.
