Second floor common room, Saturday morning

[unusual_sith]

Delirium had said there were cartoons on Saturday mornings, and they seemed like an interesting thing, so Lana had commandeered the TV to try watching a few. In case anybody else showed up, she made a pot of coffee and a kettle of hot water for tea. She was drinking the latter, with proper blue cream, and eating something that claimed to be cereal, but seemed more like sugar in a bowl (the milk for that had started white, but it was now a multicoloured mess).

So if anybody were looking for the Sith, they'd find her watching Looney Tunes (and a few other things) in her pajamas and eating Lucky Charms.

Totally Sithly.

Really, though, that stomach of his was made for belly rubs...

"Hello, Prompto!" Kyubey said cheerfully, wriggling around so he could look at Prompto. "I live on this floor! In room 203!"

[hashtag_chocobro]

"That's awesome," Prompto told him with a grin. "My friends live on this floor, too, down the hall in 221, so I'm down here a lot. I was maybe gonna go poke them this morning, but got distracted by cartoons." He nodded at the TV and grinned. "How you settling in, buddy? Get along with your roomate okay? Liking your classes?"

[abbreviateme]

There was a pause there as Kyubey considered that question.

"Do you know," he said, with a laugh that was as sheepish as it was cheerful, "I had completely forgotten I had classes? I'm not even sure what they are!"

Because, well. How was he supposed to look at a schedule? Really?

And the mun had IRL things going on...

[hashtag_chocobro]

"....Really?" Prompto sort of blinked at Kyubey for a moment, wondering if allowing his little sibling to forget about classes was a severe dereliction of his duties. But then he sort of laughed and shrugged it off. "That's no problem there, I guess, but you should probably be going. You want me to talk to the moose so you can know what they are?"

[abbreviateme]

"If it's no trouble to you, that would be great!" Kyubey said, not giving any indication of whether or not he'd forgotten to go to class on purpose or not. "I've been to class before, but never where I was the one being taught."

He rolled over, got to his feet, and shook himself out.

[hashtag_chocobro]

And Prompto's hand twitched a little bit, because it just wanted to reach out and start petting and scratching Kyubey behind the ears, but, like, he was a classmate, you didn't just go petting your classmates like that just because they were adorable and this was so hard.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "If you weren't the one being taught, were you the one teaching?"

[abbreviateme]

Well, Kyubey was going to make it even harder for you, Prompto, because he saw you hesitating and, honestly, this whole being treated as a person and not as a pet thing was rather strange (not unwelcome though) and...

Well, anyway, Kyubey took a few steps on over and without even asking, was going to settle himself in Prompto's lap. There, much better.

"No, my friends were students!" he said, making a noise that was suspiciously like a purr. "They hid me in their bags so I could keep them company!"

No point in admitting he could turn invisible at will right this instant now was there?

[hashtag_chocobro]

Ohmygod, noooooo.

Prompto's soul was clearly vacating the building; he was completely dead of cute now, and honestly, sorry not sorry, but all bets were off once you went and sat on his lap and began making noises that were suspiciously like purrs.

He tried so hard, and he lost that battle spectacularly, enjoy yourr damn pets and ear scritches, Kyubey, you adorable little monster.

And then, he processed what was said, and that did not help matters at all.

"Ohmygod," he said, "that is the greatest thing I've ever heard."

He kind of wanted to sneak Kyubey into all his classes in a backpack now. Even better if he could go back and do that at his old school.

[abbreviateme]

Ahhhh, bliss. Bliss. He'd gotten exactly what he'd wanted.

"I just didn't want to get them in trouble, so we came up with that idea!"

[hashtag_chocobro]

"I take it maybe students like you weren't allowed at your friends' school?" Prompto guessed, not at all ceasing in his idle pets and scritches and especially taking the time to smooth out Kyubey's so, so soft fur along his back. "What was it like? Do you miss them?"

[abbreviateme]

"I'll see them again, so I don't miss them!"

He wouldn't miss them anyway.

"I've never seen another one like me around," Kyubey said, which was almost the truth. He was still making little happy purr noises. "So we didn't want to cause a fuss or have anyone think they should experiment on me or stick me in a lab..."

[hashtag_chocobro]

Oof. Ouch. Right in the traumatic origin story with that one. Prompto frowned a little, looking down at Kyubey thoughtfully as he continued petting him lightly.

"Yeah," he said, "that's no good, man. Nobody should have to go through something like that just because their different. Or for any reason at all..."

No one should have to be created for the sole purpose of stuff like that, either.

"And it worked, too, right? You guys didn't get, like, caught sneaking you around or anyhting, did you?"

[abbreviateme]

Kyubey shook his head, his ears flopping about with the movement.

"Oh, no! We were never caught!" He licked his paw, once, before adding, "And if anyone ever did see me, I was to pretend I was a stuffed animal!"

[hashtag_chocobro]

"OOoh, that's smart," Prompto complimented with a nod, thinking he would have a much harder time pulling htat one off himself. "You pretty good at it, too? I don't think I could stay still for that long."

Considering he could barely stay still ever, that checked.

[abbreviateme]

Well, Kyubey did normally target young teen girls, so... they usually had a much easier time passing off a toy.

Was that fair? No. But that was how it was.

"It's not hard," Kyubey said, since it was actually really easy for him to do. "At least, for me. How long do you think you could stay still for?"

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto didn't so much pause as he did actually attempt to stay still in that moment, and then had to break it when he couldn't help laughing.

"Like, two seconds, dude," he said, "tops. I should probably work on that. You're probably a whole lot better at it. Hey, let's actually see it. Do your best stuffed animal impression for me."

[abbreviateme]

"If you want," Kyubey said obligingly.

Then went still. Completely and utterly still.
