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 :))

Seems kind of...

[makes a ponderous noise and rolls onto his back]

[was_no_monster]

Kind of...?

[ chin on forepaws ]

[coaldhearted]

It's not like I'd belong to anyone else, so why bother...

[was_no_monster]

[ damn straight you wouldn't, I would fight them. flopping over onto his side to consider ]

...If you love someone, you don't just tell them once and stop, do you?

[coaldhearted]

...

[kaito let's be honest. this is harvey. would he say it at all? PROBABLY NOT.]

[was_no_monster]

[ that was a rhetorical "you," okay. ]

It's like that. I love you and I want you, so I'll tell you however I want.

[coaldhearted]

[startles, rolling onto his belly again and staring]

[was_no_monster]

[ :?? pinning his ears back and lifting his head, concerned ]

...Harvey?

[coaldhearted]

Did you really just say that...

[was_no_monster]

... Yes?

[ completely failing to see how or why that might be a big deal ]

[coaldhearted]

....I know you like me and want me but love is a whole other huge thing.

[was_no_monster]

[ wrinkles his nose up while he considers that ]

Is it? I could see that if I was in love with you, but I'm not. You're more like family.

[coaldhearted]

Still pretty big.

[was_no_monster]

... I thought you knew. We haven't been keeping it secret.

[coaldhearted]

He's really bad at noticing much of anything once he gets used to someone...

Sorry.

[was_no_monster]

[ rolling over onto his other side and therefore into Harvey. DOGPILE ]

It's okay, that's cute most of the time. Or— not cute. It's Harvey?

[ said like this explains absolutely everything ]

[coaldhearted]

Good. Don't you start with that too.

[was_no_monster]

Start with what?

[ SIMPLEDOG INTENSIFIES ]

[coaldhearted]

Calling me cute.

[Tsundere huff]

[was_no_monster]

...But you are, sometimes.

[coaldhearted]

No. You and Tristan both need to stop that.

[was_no_monster]

—Tristan called you cute?

[ COMPLETELY DELIGHTED ]

[coaldhearted]

Yeah.

[Tsuntsun]

[was_no_monster]

[ there is so much smug here. and so much Tristan dere. DERE FOR EVERYONE ]

Well, he's—

[ "he's right," he wants to say, but... he can't finish that sentence. why can't he finish that sentence—

...he knows why. and he's abruptly going from zero to frightened and furious in no time at all, jerking to his feet to pin Harvey and snarl ]

Take it back.

[coaldhearted]

[Well Harvey has no clue, and this is his Shadow, so he's not going to just lay there and take it even from Kaito.

That is to say, startled and feeling betrayed and winding up to anger himself, struggling immediately.]
