Sure, I was really enjoying touching all of Inv earlier and was even thinking about taking it a step further but… this is just as good as well.
'Wouldn't want things to go so fast anyways, right?'
Now that I'm with Inv I have all the time in the world…
'No literally I don't think I have aged a single bit since being put in this world. I'm not sure exactly how long I've been here, but it's definitely been a very long time…
'I think every cycle is like 4 days of earth time so if I put together how many times I've survived a cycle, that would be like 16 years? That's not even including all the cycles where I've died…'
In those 16 years I don't think my body has changed a single bit this entire time… how strange…
I actually wonder how old Inv is? I don't care how old he is since I'm basically like… uhh… if I put together my age from earth and how many cycles I've survived here, that would be 38, I think?
…
Oh god I'm fucking old! It's a good thing I'm small and look good with pink!
While thinking this I can feel my head has become completely drenched in Inv's tears. I can hear Inv's cries slowly start to quiet down until they only become weak sobs.
I hug Inv until he completely calms down from crying. I'm not sure how long I've been holding him for, but I can feel myself slowly start to grow tired from how long I've stayed awake for. I could honestly fall asleep right now in his embrace but…
I can't… the last time I tried to fall asleep out here I ended up waking up in the shelter somehow. Since I lost a level of karma I can only assume I was killed by something in my sleep. So, falling asleep right now wouldn't be the best of ideas right now.
Trying my best to keep myself awake I feel Inv's arms slowly start unwrapping from me. With being able to move now I push myself up and look at Inv's face. I can see him wiping his remaining tears away. His skin has turned back to the normal blue I saw when I first met him.
"I-i sory… i-i didn meen tu get u drty… I ws jus su hapy…" Inv says to me as he looks at the top of my head.
"It's ok Inv. I think you really needed that anyways. A few tears ain't gonna hurt m-" I stop from what I'm about to say when I touch the top of my head. Along with the wetness I can also feel something stick to my paw.
'What the?'
Bringing my paw back down I look at surprise as I see my paw is now covered in blue.
…
Was it seriously blue dye? Seeing how the fur around my paw has blue mixed with my pink fur I let out a small laugh.
'Huh I guess I really did get dirty'
"Sowy…"
"It's really ok Inv… I can clean myself up when we get back to the shelter" I say to Inv as I raise my paw up to my mouth giving it a lick.
Damn!
That's really salty!
Never thought something blue before could be so salty!
Of course I'm not really worried about this. I'd much rather prefer cleaning myself from Invs tears than something like the rot…
I can feel myself shiver a bit just thinking about that one time…
"R-r u ok??" I hear Inv ask me in worry. Shaking my head I shoo away the memory that started to creep into mind from that one time.
'No time for negative memories! Only happy thoughts right now!'
"Yup I'm ok Inv just never seen blue tears before. Are you ok now though?" I ask Inv
"Y-ye… I feal better noaw" Inv says back to me with an interesting looking smile on his face. I wonder how his mouth can curve into a W like that… I'd be lying if I didn't admit that this makes him look cuter.
"Well, that's good… soooo… we're partners now?" Even though he said yes to being partners I just want to make sure.
"Ye ye ye! I yur pardner now!" Inv says back with excitement while shaking his head up and down really fast. Seeing this warms my heart.
'Awesome'
I get up from Inv's stomach and stand on my feet. I can feel a slight sense of vertigo since I've been laying down on Inv for a good while. It goes away quickly, however. By the time it goes away I can see Inv stand back up as well.
Once again, I find myself surprised at how tall Inv is compared to me.
'Hehe… and I have him all to myself now'
I can feel a dumb grin spread on my face while thinking this.
"O-oh yeh! Hol on won secon!" Taking me out of my thoughts I hear Inv say this as he runs back to the edge where I previously was earlier in the cycle.
I watch as Inv runs over there and picks something up. Running with the object in his hand he returns right back in front of me.
"H-hera! Gif fur u!" Inv says with happiness as he represents the egg bomb in front of me.
I feel a slight sense of danger when Inv does this. Being so close to the egg bomb just a slight mistake is all it would take to trigger it and kill the both of us. But I don't back away from him.
Since I've already accepted him as my partner I'll accept every part of him. Even the deadly bombs he spawns every cycle.
Very carefully I accept Inv's gift with both paws. I can feel heat radiating from the egg bomb and can feel a slight buzz from it as if it's alive. I can see Inv grow even happier as I accept the egg bomb.
'Well… now that I have this, I guess there's only one thing to do with it'
Without thinking much about it if carefully raise the egg bomb up to my mouth and open wide.
Gulp*
Thankfully I'm able to swallow the egg bomb safely, storing it in my stomach pouch. Good thing it didn't go off. I can't just carry this everywhere. I look back Inv expecting him to be happy by my action but what I see is his eyes wide open in terror.
"J-J-JOEY?!" inv screams out in horror.
I'm startled by the sudden scream. W-what the heck did I do wrong?!
Before I can ask Inv what's wrong I hear a ding go off in my head.
Passive Unlocked
Universal Hatred
