“This is a one time thing”

“For sure”

———-

The next day:

Ok. So, once Dyle got over his initial.. Ig nervous around Mugman?? (He wasn't nervous due to any crushes btw.) He started to actually enjoy his company!! Mugman asked Dyle about his interests, Mugman themself has fun interests, his sassiness is Very entertaining, and overall Dyle has fun with Mugs!!

Honestly, he'd would've been just fine being Mugman's friend!

Unfortunately, it kinda went downhill once Dyle brought this blossoming friendship up to Dandy.

Now, Dyle knows Dandy, he knows how Dandy would respond. But he HAS to tell Dandy about this!! He's his right hand man and he's befriending Dandy's infatuation! Ofc he's telling Dandy.

So Dyle came up with a plan! Stay friends with Mugman while Also being Dandy's wingman!! Boost Dandy's image a little, yknow?? ......

Yeaaaahh turns out if you wingman for a guy who's not really Around your image gets boosted. "Dandy" gifts Mugman a book he's been wanting? Dandy doesn't know that Mugman likes that series, but Dyle does. "Dandy" thinks Mugman's baking is good? Dandy hasn't had Mugman's baking (Mugman made sure he didn't), but Dyle has.

Mugman Knows all these sweet gestures aren't from Dandy, they couldn't have! If they did, they why was Dandy confused when Mugs asks him who their favorite singer is. Dyle wasn't confused tho. And he remembered who it is!

And that's Dyle's downfall. He remembers things. He remembers what Mugman likes, how Mugman is. He remembers how sweetly Mugman treats him.

And when Mugman starts checking up on Dyle health and overall happiness?? Ooohh Dyle Knows he is FUCKED. Because why did his heart race when Mugman held his hand??

Dyle thankfully slipped under the "Crushing on Mugman" radar by lying and saying him spending time with Mugs was to help Dandy. The fact he spent literally All of his free time with Mugs is completely irrelevant.

It's also irrelevant that when he went drinking with Mugman he came back the next day with a limp. It's.. A little less irrelevant that since that night Mugman has been... A lot.

Now, Dyle is used to a lot, you kinda have to be when you're the right hand of one of the most powerful mob bosses in the city. But there's a difference between seeing a cut up corpse and having a mug being literally obsessed with everything you do to the point he's begging to carve your name into his porcelain skin, yknow??

Dyle is honestly pretty put off by Mugs' obsessive/possessive behavior, it's really creepy and Very overstimulating. Mugman's love is so much and Dyle isn't used to so much love. Tho there were little things that probably should've been red flags-

Unfortunately for Dyle he's in so deep and Mugman loves him sm that he can't really leave. Both because Mugman wouldn't let him and because then Dandy would find out, and he's honestly more afraid of Dandy.

POV if Dyle tries breaking up with Mugman:

|| Environment ||

Housing: Chicks are raised together in nurseries by caregiver angels for a small time—like local nannies and mannies! While Implings are raised within their homes like any other Toons, sometimes in multigenerational houses, though not often.

Place of Living: Angels, as well as their fellow avians, live in Cloud Cities. While Demons reside in two places: Hell or in Dae Town(in my story).

|| Clothing ||

And for clothing, in ancient times, Angels and Demons alike wore the same Greek gowns/clothing as the members of Calix Animi and other Toons of that era! (in my headcannon)

Some clothes were for festivals and feasts, while some were for everyday use, and special roles such as soldiers/massagers.

And nowadays, their clothes are that of the era they're currently living in; the 1930s! :]
