[ C.O.D.E -- 0 1 ]

Derikku gave a chuckle at the way the other one talked, it was very formal which almost didn’t seem to match the cute external image the raven had, but nevertheless his smile stayed in place and his eyes continued to examine the raven behind his sunglasses. 

“Of course, excuse me for my poor manners cutie, my name is Derikku and you?” 

Obviously Derikku knew that the raven wouldn’t react to his real name, with the way he was dressed he didn’t look much like he did on the many posters around with his face on them with his stage name written on them ‘Psy-420′ was what they all read. 

“I love your color scheme” He said with a chuckle, seeing as they both had a liking for white and pink, even if Derikku’s was magenta unlike the fuschia the raven wore, but it was still pretty similar, and by thinking that he noticed the raven also had fuschia colored eyes to match his outfit, much like his hidden magenta orbs complimented his clothes. 

“Derikku,” Psyche repeated his name with a smile. Yes, he would definitely remember that name. This was the first time he ever heard that name, so he grew even more curious about the other. The way he talked, he did sound like someone others would call a fun person and Psyche found himself drawn to him.

“Your name sounds like you’re a nice person.” He told him and came a few steps closer. The raven tilted his head to the right, only to tilt it to the left a little later. He wondered if he had met or seen the other before but neither his name nor his clothes did ring a bell. And so Psyche walked around him, to take in everything he saw about the other and stopped in front of him again with a big smile. He probably looked like a child to the other.

“My name? It’s Psyche.”

“Yeah, I’ll play for a little bit..” It’s been awhile since she’s played any type of video games. She can’t even remember the last time she went to an arcade. The last time was probably back when she was in highschool when she had friends to go with. It was hard to tell, really. Hikari moves to where he’s at and takes a seat next to him. “You’ll have to show me how to play. I’m not familiar with this game..” She’s probably going to majorly suck at first. Hopefully he won’t poke fun at her skills too much. But, she’s positive she’ll get the hang of it. Maybe…

He found himself strolling around before he stopped in front of the little ice cream shop. Something, no, someone had caught his interest as he looked - compared to all the other people around him - kind of suspicious. It’s exactly what had drawn Psyche’s attention to him, even though he couldn’t figure out what’s so interesting about someone wearing a hat and sunglasses.

“Huh?” So when the other came closer with his two ice creams in hand Psyche could only tilt his head a little. This was unexpected; he had no idea how to respond for an moment but soon he smiled at him.

“Did you really not sleep at all?” She shouldn’t be one to judge him for that. She’s lost track of how many sleepless nights she’s had. But still…

Grey eyes watch him as he plays his video game. She’s not familiar with what game this is so she takes a seat nearby to watch. There’s a small sigh. “Have you been playing this all night?” Surely that wasn’t good for his eyes.

“Nope,” Did she really think he’d sleep when there is just so much he could do? This wasn’t the first night he’d spent awake. Actually, it was much easier to count the nights he actually spent some hours sleeping.

Shit I’ve said to my cat - sentence starters

“Is it...?” Psyche tilted his head, looking at the other with a questioning look. He didn’t realize it was so early since he never went to sleep he still assumed it was late evening or night. Time sure passes by so much faster when you got something to do. But he wondered if he was really so annoying or at least the sounds of the games he was playing. And there he even had the sound quieter than usual. 

“Nyah ! YOU let me hug you !”

*Jumps in his arms, hugging and purring*

“Where have you been?”

He hugged the smaller happily and laughed.

“Hello nya !!”

(🐈) “Mhm~ Mhm! That’s you all right. The most evil little demon I ever seen but that’s what makes you my favorite.” Iza hums, his ears twitch hearing Psyche laugh. He forgot that Psyche was adorable. The feline licked his cheek. “Of course I missed you, Dear. You been gone for so long. Where you with Tom? You smell awfully a lot like him.” With that Iza nips Psyche’s jaw, he isn’t doing it to be mean, it was an affectionate love bite and he was making sure he wasn’t doing it too hard. The last thing he wants to do is hurt them.

Linda tilted his head, eager to hear what this guy would sing. He was not expecting to hear such a good voice come out of an ordinary-looking guy, but he hummed, listening to his song with rapt attention. This guy should definitely be up on stage, singing. Why wasn’t he, he thought in interest, listening to the song as he continued, enjoying every second of it.

When he stopped, he clapped his hands, grateful for hearing the song, “Wow, that was fantastic! Dude, do you practice a lot? You have quite a lot of talent. I feel kind of inferior by comparison, but if you like, I can sing you something in return. But first, let me introduce myself. I am the idol, Linda!”

“No doubt you’ve heard of me, now what’s your name, Mr. Talent?” He said cheerfully, extending his hand out. 

All it needed was the little bit of applause he got from the other for Psyche’s face to turn red. Not out of embarrassment but of happiness. Whenever someone liked his singing he couldn’t help but feeling like the happiest person on the planet. And the praising words made him feel even happier. “I do! I love to sing but only as a hobby.” Since he knew what annoyance at first sight meant, he would never do anything more with his voice but to keep it a hobby and upload some videos online. 

Though, the smile on his face vanished when he heard the name of the other, his smile exchanged for one of shock. “Ahhh! You’re Linda! I didn’t recognize you at first! You look so different up close!” Psyche didn’t mean this in a bad way. Actually he found the other pretty dazzling but still, seeing him right in front of him was so different than seeing footage of him. And he even offered to sing for him! Psyche couldn’t help but to agree with a quick nod of his head. “I would love to hear you sing!”

(🐈) “That’s right, that’s right you are the demon huh? My little demon! How cute! Even if you smell so gross, but I can fix that can’t I?” Iza hugs him and instantly starts to press soft and gentle kisses on Psyche’s cheeks because, ‘ew Zuo smell.’ 

Random Starters

The request was a sudden one, however, who was he to refuse when he loved nothing more than to sing? Psyche felt happy that someone was willing to hear him. Eyes wide and shining with excitement he only gave a nod as response. And then his hand went to his heart and his head rose as he belted out the notes. 

“Why was I born, why did I even have to endure? In the end, I’m just not sure But wait, though it might all seem like it’s just waste of time Keep in mind, you’ve got a shot at making something out of nothing, Getting stronger through the darkest times! Listen close, ‘cause here is why!”

His voice has a happiness; there's something carefree about the notes as they fall into the air about him. The words sung - listened closely - had a rather negative sory behind them and yet he sung with such a happiness and joy, one could hardly tell that the lyrics could be taken in such a negative way. Psyche gently clapped his hands together as if to accompany himself with noiseless clapping. 

“That’s right, just leave it to the deities~ Our responsibilities rule a world that loves us Just the same as you love me Raise a glass and sing it fast, we command you have a blast Can’t be bad to just sit back occasionally That’s right, from northern to the southern skies~ Reaching out to left and right We all love this planet just the same as you love me Though the road is traveled less, we can always move ahead Keep in mind we’re only just beginning!”

Psyche continued to sing and clapping his hands happily. This was fun! Someone asked him to sing; this was what happiness felt like! To sing happily and without holding back. However, it didn’t take long before he suddenly stopped, staring at the ground for a second before he brought his hands together and looked at the other with an apologetic smile.
