To gaze at the Reflection
(Gosh, I didn't think I had a lot of ideas for this yume ship but here I am, still thinking on how this AU will play out. This is a fanfic between @hexserath OC Mirror Ticket Taker and my OC that's part of a trilogy (There's actually 4 stories but the 1st one is more of a prequel.) so I wouldn't continue if this is not your cup of tea or you haven't read the other stories first!)
Content warning: a bit more angst than planned but there's fluff also; MINORS, DO NOT INTERACT! Let's start this show already~
Well, it looks like our main characters has discovered that they're not alone in this existence! Though, things is brewing in the distance....
Meanwhile, the sounds of arguing, kitchen items banging and colliding into each other, and the faint smell of something being burnt fills the atmosphere. It only takes a couple of minutes for the noisy ASMR to wake up Luna as she's swaddled in a bunch of blankets.
"Man, what is happening....?" She questions as the smoke gets a bit bigger while the sounds of shushing can be heard (or more like cursing) beyond the bed curtains.
"I think she'll wake up from all this noise at this point, NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME!"
"Oh wow, says the guy standing there, complaining about my cooking skills~."
"Ahhhhh~, this ain't about me; this is about how *none* of y'all can't FUCKING shut up!"
"You're not exactly quiet there either~!"
"Errr, is no one watching the stove?"
The human slowly stretches her body before getting out of the bed and opening the curtains to the shenanigans that was currently unfolding:
Nova is overly zealous with flipping the burnt pancake in the pan as several copies of him are circling around the stove, they're either agreeing or arguing about how burnt the pancakes were.
"Man, how did we survive on this guy's cooking?"
"I thought it was fine....if you swallow it quickly, heh~."
"If everyone here didn't want me to cook, YOU ALL COOK THEN!?"
"We tried to warn ya but- uh oh..."
"Well, it seems I've stumbled onto something here!" Luna objects as all of the men stare at her.
"I'll just.....crawl back into bed then~."
She almost climbs back into bed but stops short as the group tries to get her to the dining table to eat some breakfast.
"Woah there, my moonlight~โค๏ธ! We were trying to surprise you with some food since you'll be here for the time being, though, it seems that plan went in flames...." Nova looks nervously at the stacks of burnt breakfast foods.
"This is going to take a minute....."
"We should have stuck with eggs and bacon!"
"I rather eat her instead I mean- what's wrong with chocolate and booze?" This duplicate was quickly slapped in the back of the head by Nova.
"Err, Nova, why is there multiple versions of you?"
The men stared at each other and then focus on their attention towards the lady.
"Remember how the void is under my control and power? They can also function as my literal, splitting images of me~, to help me with every beck and call~." Nova says with bravado.
"I didn't realized that *he's* our leader~!"
"S H U T I T !" Nova tries to gain back control from his argumentative counterparts as he tries to clear his throat.
"Hehe, what a rowdy bunch! Do you guys have names?" Luna giggles, the men look a bit flustered from hearing that.
"Ahhhhh, did we have names???"
"I remember there's one but-!"
"My dear~, you don't have to worry about names! They move as one as the Lacuna~." Nova gestures to his clones towards the suggestion, they eventually agree to the (ad-lib) name.
She moves closer to the group, staring at each and every one of them. All of his clones look eerily similar to the original albeit with silver-blue hair instead of white.
"Hmmm, why didn't they shown up earlier? They could have given you a break from your job, Nova!"
All of the men gave a tired smile while sighing towards her.
"If only, sweetheart~! Being awake for how long I endured really drained my powers to where I *couldn't* summon them until these past few days. Also, why would I have my assistants do *my* job? Their powers aren't up to *my* level and that's pretty depressing!" Nova smirked at his duplicates.
"Depressing?! We'll show you *how* depressing you can *really* be!"
This results in the copies tackling the host with hands being thrown, one of the duplicates stayed out of the fight and actually grabs Luna and brings her to the table with food already set on the table.
"Woah guys, let's stop and eat something!"
"Not until we get our dear "leader" to actually love us for everything we do for *him*!"
"Ohhhh~, I'm good sweetheart~! These guys- can't hit for shit!" That's all Nova gets out before getting dog piled by his duplicates, Luna stares nervously as she takes a bite out of some chocolate-chip pancakes.
"How's the pancakes, sweets~? We had some ready before *HE* took over the kitchen?" All the clones stare at the young lady, trying to keep their "leader" under wraps.
"It's pretty good! I-" She didn't get to finish her sentence before a pair of arms is wrapped around her and transports her to the bed.
"EEK, my food! Nova, what are you-?" A hand covers her mouth before he snickers at her.
"Sorry about that! I love eating the burnt pancakes but it would be fun to impress a cutie like you so I tried to cook normally this time~โค๏ธ! Looks like my assistants didn't appreciate it in the end!" He smiles deviously while cutting and offering the (non-burnt) pancakes to Luna.
"Hmmmm, I don't think eating burnt food is *that* great on your body but I'm not stopping you there." Luna starts to eat some of the pancakes again.
The yelling gets louder as the Lacuna tries to get into the bed chamber, however, they can't pass the threshold.
"Are we trapped in some force field or are they....?"
"Yep, they wouldn't stop complaining so they don't get to join us! Besides, they don't really need to eat to survive."
"Yeah, especially if it involves the ladies~!"
Both Nova and the Lacuna start to bicker while the stack of pancakes gets smaller.
"Man, what a day to start....wha-HEY!" She looks at the now empty plate while Nova tries to look innocently with his mouth stuffed.
("What? I'm hungry, what ya want from me~???") Is all he can mumble after stuffing his face before Luna can take another bite.
The human pouts a little before scheming to get back for her very short-lived meal.
"Well, guess I'll have to settle for something different then!" She pounces on Nova while giggling and ticking him.
"Hehe~, TWO can play that game, sweetheart!"
Pillows start to fly, laughs getting louder while the Lacuna managed to join in the foray as a pillow fight ensues in and around the bed. It would have continued for a good while if a certain person didn't appeared out of nowhere:
"๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐, ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ."
Silence ensues, everyone staring at Ticket Taker that showed up unannounced with a mission in hand.
"Oh fuck, it's *HIM*!" One of Nova's copies whispered to Luna.
"Wh-why are you H E R E.....after all these years.....especially calling me THAT!"
TT's eyes scan at the messy atmosphere, feathers scattered everywhere, clothes ruffled, heavy breathing and sweat from everyone that played along, nothing out of the ordinary E X C E P T:
"๐'๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ญโฆ." He points towards Luna who's currently sweating bullets and gulping loudly after hearing that.
"Well~, I don't want to be rude so I wanted to make this comfortable for anyone stopping by my Mirror Dimension since I don't get any visitors because of you....." Nova narrows his eyes towards their uninviting guest while wrapping his arms around his small lover.
"๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ, ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐โฆโฆ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐งโฆ.๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ....๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐จ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง."
Soft shuffling can be heard as several duplicates tries to get closer to TT...
"*๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ* ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐, ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฌ!"
Luna is noticing that Nova is shaking uncontrollably, holding her tightly as if she could disappear without a trace, she starts to use her powers as to calm the host in their predicament; he begrudgingly lets his clones disappear into the ether.
"๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ข๐๐, give her to me, now!"
"Fuck that, I would rather kill myself to set her free from this depressing place at this point!"
There's a small pause, some hesitation from TT before he speaks:
"โฆ.*๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฌ* ๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌโฆ."
After Nova finishes his sentence, TT teleports in front of him and Luna at the bed, looking exasperated towards the couple.
"๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐งโฆ..๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ โฆ.."
The whole area becomes cold and distant, Nova's eyes lose focus from trying to understand what TT is trying to say. His arms slack while Luna wraps her arms around her as to keep him from falling apart even more.
"๐'๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐'๐ฏ๐ ๐ค๐๐ฉ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ โฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐โฆ.๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉโฆ.."
"What do mean by "help"??? After all this time, you really think I'll forgive you n o w?"
TT breathes in heavily, trying to gather his thoughts as his body is worn from mental exhaustion and lack of rest for ages.
"๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌโฆ.๐ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ, ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ." TT points towards Luna.
"Me? What could I possibly do?" The human looks frightened from hearing that.
TT laughs softly then looks at the couple.
"๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐โฆ..๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ฌโฆ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ข๐๐ฌโฆ..๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐คโฆโฆ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ญ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ฌ๐จ."
Luna is starting to feel Nova becoming forlorn from the information as she softly kisses his cheek for encouragement.
"The same? As much as I want to deny it, yes sweetheart~."
TT stares at the both of them, sighing and starting to look weary at the situation he's causing currently.
"๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ'๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌโฆ.๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ง๐, ๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ฌโฆ.๐ฌ๐จโฆ.๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐, ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐โฆ.๐ก๐๐ซโฆ๐ข๐ง ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญโฆ..๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐กโฆ.."
Tears started streaming down Nova's face, Luna and TT softly wipe them away.
"๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญโฆ..๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ, ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฅ. ๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ข๐งโฆ.๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซโฆ.๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐โฆ..๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐กโฆ..๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐โฆโฆ"
TT softly puts a hand underneath Nova's chin
"๐ ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญโฆ.๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌโฆ..๐ฌ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐โฆ..๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ค๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฒ deep inside youโฆ..๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐'๐ฆ ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ญโฆโฆ"
The host slowly grabs TT's hand, shaking with numerous thoughts swirling and circling in his head. Luna is struggling to keep Nova's emotions at bay.
"Nova.....it's okay....breathe......"
"๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฆ๐โฆโฆ๐'๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐โฆ.๐'๐ฆ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโฆ.๐ ๐๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ณ๐ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ......just leave me behind."
It was only for a few minutes, but for Nova, it feels like an eternity. Is he still dreaming, was this a nightmare and he's just going to wake up at any moment now? Is there a correct answer to what Nova is experiencing right now? Either way he responds with:
"....and what if I don't want to?"
TT looks stunned at Nova, not really focusing on what just happened.
"๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ค๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐, ๐'๐ฆ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐จ!"
Nova starts to kiss TT's left hand while looking at him.
"๐๐ก๐ฒโฆ.๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐โฆ."
"Well, if I didn't have someone to at least be here for me.....things would have ended tragically...."
Nova takes a deep breath before softly smiling:
"Sure, I'm still extremely pissed off that you wanted me to atone for the past...by imprisoning me here.....however.....since this cutie appeared~โค๏ธ, this world is not that dark anymore~......all the rage.....melancholy.....despair......I think it's time to....let it all go."
A few minutes past as TT is also contemplating on what's being said here:
"๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐โฆ.?
"It'll take time of course.....but......perhaps with enough time......we can learn to love again. Besides, I have *all* the time to torment you for my amusement and that sounds hilarious~!" Nova says with confidence, the words sinking deep into TT's mind and leaving his face flushed as a result.
"It took this blind-sided fool long enough to admit his shortcomings, I'm willing to give him *some* leeway. What do you think, my dear Luna? Would you want all of us to love and be loved with each other.....or, do you want to keep me *all* to yourself?" Nova stares at Luna with affection while kissing her forehead.
"Well.....I've never done this before.....but I think that it's best if I can love everything about everyone!" She grabs TT's other hand and softly kisses it.
"Isn't she the cutest~." Nova smiles with glee.
TT looks at the human (smiling internally): "โฆ.๐ฌ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐, ๐ง๐จ ๐๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ญ."
Slowly, TT extends his arms to hold Nova and Luna softly, sighing with relief.
"Are you okay? You look ragged..."
"๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐๐ง'๐ญ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ โฆ..๐'๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐๐งโฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐โฆ.๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐คโฆ.๐ฌ๐ฐ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ~."
Before anyone can say anything else, TT falls onto the bed and quickly falls asleep from staying awake for a while.
"Well....I didn't even expect this to happen......he was always hard on himself.....we were both hurting in our own ways....but now...... we can hopefully provide as much love to each other, sweetheart~โค๏ธ."
The human looks at the two men, softly smiling.
"Well, if it means that I can enjoy the company of hot men the yes~โค๏ธ. You still owe me pancakes, by the way!"
One of the Lacuna pops in, providing a fresh stack of pancakes: "You rang?!"
Sadly, Nova grabs then and absconds away.
"OY, get back here with my pancakes~!"
They both run away into the distance while Ticket Taker starts to sink into the plethora of blankets, sleeping soundly for the first time in forever. Looks like things are looking brighter for everyone here, or at least, starting to.
(Good lord, I know that I didn't do TT justice but I just wanted the poor man to have some relief and some affection thrown towards him!)
