"Yeah! Fae rules!" She expressed wildly, her arms and legs both spreading out wide before she got up and fixed herself into his lap. "Fae's back home were these-... Magical beings! With wings! And they're connected to magic, very picky with who they give their names and those who gave theirs willingly; It's said that the Fae have partial control over them! So, you don't want people controlling you, yeah?"

What a wild imagination she had... Mutt couldn't help but laugh, coming and gently cupping her face so longingly. Looking into her eyes so entranced already...

"ain't no body controllin' m'., Baby.." He assured, giving her a kiss. "... i'll debate lettin' ya, tho'."

She gave him a kiss back, but playfully gasped and grabbed his jaw bone back. It surprised him, but he loved it when she had such a hyper spell.

"That means I need your true name, Mutt!" Her eyes shone brightly, excitedly, with an innocent giddiness he couldn't get enough of. "What's that name then, hmm??"

"easy, easy now..." Mutt didn't pull back but wrapped her in his arms, nuzzling their foreheads softly. "... if i gave ya m'name, you'd jus' use tha' powa ova me, wouldn'cha?"

Her soft little giggle came as she nuzzled him back, wrapping her arms around his vertabrea and gave kisses along his jawbone.

"I'd give you the freedom you'd deserve, Sweetsoul." She spoke so warmly, so lovingly against his fangs. "I'd never ask for such a power... But I would love to call you something other than Mutt!"

They both laughed; The evening went on like that... Cuddles and finding comfort in both their prescenes, until Mutt's time was up with his little Star.

And for a while; It stayed like that. Mutt would come to Muffets, but instead of drowning himself in her toxcins; He found the more he spent time with Star, the better he felt.

The warmer he was.

Countless nights, he would vent to her. Countless times, instead of using her body as intended; Mutt would caress and care for her, not once passing her boundary unless she initiated first. And he found himself telling her things, not anyone knows...

Before he knew it; He realized...

Mutt was deep in Love.

"hey, Starshine." Mutt welcomed his little Human like all the other times.

Arms wrapped around her, his little Princess, the most Healing thing he could ever dream of...

Before Star could give him a welcome back; Mutt pressed a claw against her lips to silence her, an absolutely fond smile on his fangs at her.

Giving him a look, offering him one of your snacks; He eased and happily took to eating out of your hand.

He tried to nip at your fingers, but you were quick to retract your hand with a soft laugh... Mutt loved to try and get his fangs on you anyway he could.

"aw, c'mon, I want anotha, Baby." He nuzzled into your hair, could hear him licking his fangs so close to your ear-

"Ugh, no!" Shivered and tried to shy down where he couldn't reach you. "Absolutely not- You just tried to nip my fingers! Brat."

Mutt's little laugh came; Only to turn into a growl as he followed and nuzzled the top of your head.

"ohhhh, naaaah, don't call m'a brat yet, Baby... ya offered m'food, I was jus' makin' sure ya didn't have no crumbs lingerin'..."

Couldn't help but squeak; The farther you tried to duck, the more he just seemed to curl after you- Couldn't get away, he was even nipping your hair now!

"Russ! RUSS! No- Stooooop!!! Now you're really being a brat!" A laugh was bubbling out of your chest, trying hard to push and keep his boney ass at bay-

But despite that, he just seemed to engulf you; His lanky body had you slide into your shared bed. Mutts eye lights stared down at you so lovingly as you tried to squirm from him...

But his damnable clawed hands kept you under him; One intertwined with yours while his other kept you planted by your hip...

When you finally realized your position; Felt your face burning and trying to look anywhere but at him. He loved watching you like this...

"oh, no..." Mutt mocked a soft sigh. "look at all them crumbs..."

"Wait, what??" Blinked and tried to look down at yourself, only to see indeed; Your chest was covered in them. "Oh-... Oh, no, hey- W-wait now-"

Looked at Mutt whose sockets were lidded dangerously, a playful grin on his fangs as he gave such a husky laugh.

"ya know... ya call m' a brat fer jus' bein' lovin'... n here ya are, makin' such a mess in th'bed..." Mutts hand raked up from your hip to your chest, his tongue snaking out as he gave a show. "...might gotta clean ya up, y'know..."

Just then, a flash of lightning came; Issuing in the BIGGEST sound of thunder you've heard of yet this year; Shaking the whole building-

Mutts body tensed, his claws off you instantly as he practically curled you protectively underneath him...

When realization hit that nothing would happen; Mutt relaxed and groaned... He buried into your neck and just wrapped you in his arms, a muffled 'sorri' coming from him...

Wrapping him up in your arms, hushed him down and gave his cranium kisses.

"Don't ever be sorry; That was the biggest one yet, and sounds like it won't be the last for a while..."

"...yeah..." He said, only to sigh hard into you. "...hate how similar it sounds, dude..."

"I know, I know... But thank you for being so protective?" Tried to cheer him up.

It was silent though; The thunder was just rumbling outside... And though it was still flashing some, it wasn't so bad now as the rain began to come down hard.

Just as you thought Mutt was possibly asleep-

"ACK! RUSSELL!" You squealed, squirming under the sneaky bastard who just licked your neck. "Off!! Oh my GOD, OFF!"

"hehehehe... nah." He was laughing, keeping you pinned as he kept licking along your throat and even along your collar bone. "... fer once, m' a lil'excited ta clean up... n thunda won't keep m' from it..."

If it was the shorter one, Sans would have came and basically torn your door hinges off by now; Ranting or complaining about something that pissed him off. This, however? This wasn't Sans pressure...

The eerily silence was making goosebumps on your skin, the hair on your arms standing up... Was there an intruder in your shared home?? Who would dare enter this place, knowing of how powerful the Skeleton brothers were?!

Just as you thought that; A knock on your door came before it opened, showing Mutt.

A wave of ease came rushing over you, only to notice his hood was down over his sockets more than normal. His stance seemed too tight, and that fanged smile that would always tease you, was no where to be seen.

"Russ?" You spoke softly, sliding from your seat and giving the brooding skeleton your attention. "Are you-... Alright?"

Mutt's lone eye socket peeked up at you; He was silent, just staring at you... At first, he seemed so pissed; Then it clicked that the pressure was coming from him.

Nerves began to swarm as you locked eye contact with him... Never once had you seen him so upset? He was always calm, flirty even... Felt a little fearful, knew if either of them wanted to; They could kill you...

"Hey... Welcome home?" You tried, opening your arms to him in a means to try and ease your own fears.

That made him slump, his lone eyelight finally easing as he slowly walked to you. His footsteps, which used to be so loud and heavy on the wooden floor; Was silent with the boots he wore.

Mutt shed off his coat as he finally got close to you, letting it drop to the floor with a thud. He was easy to pick you up, aiming for the bed as he fixed you in his arms. Mutt sat on the edge, holding you into his lap as he shoved his shoes off and rolled into the bed with you.

A soft giggle came from you; But silence... Felt that pressure ease down, but nothing too drastic.

Wrapped your arms around him, locking your fingers together and holding him close. Mutt tucked your head under his chin, finally a soft sigh coming from him as he began to curl into you; Felt his fangs bury into the top of your head.

Ironically, he could always engulf you; He was far larger, but it felt like he wanted to bury into you for once...

"Hey, Russ? Here-... Let me do something real quick?" Asked softly, patting his chest and trying to look up.

For a long moment, Mutt didn't want to loosen his grip... In fact, seemed like he held you just enough tighter, that pressure in the air got even heavier...

Until he gave a hard sigh, his arms easing, and gave you whatever chance you wanted to do.

Easily moved up; Saw Mutt's sockets overly tired, that pissed off emotion staying in place though it was obvious he was trying to soften it for you... His poor eyesockets were even more grey, and softly cupped his face-

"Russ... Hun, what has happened?" You spoke so warmly with worry, rubbing your thumbs under his eyesockets.

Mutt closed them, tightening his sockets as he gave that growl; That annoyed growl as he gently rubbed into your hands, though obviously wanting to hide his face... He wasn't up for talking.

Took a few more moments to study his face, only to ease him into your chest; Reciliation dawned on his face as he was quick to follow your lead. He buried into you, his arms coming and wrapping back around and could feel his claws digging into your sides, the clothing giving a soft squeak as he dug holes into them in his grip as your legs tangled up together.

Wrapped an arm around his neck, a hand gently rubbing his skull in what you hoped was soothing, giving him a soft kiss to the cranium.

Mutt began to relax; That pressure in the air slowly began to disperse, a growling sigh reverberated through your body that had you shiver; But hugged him even tighter.

Before you knew it; He was fast asleep into you. Mutt's soft snoring began to filter as that magic energy finally soothed down back to nothing.

...bu' she refused.

she refused all m'help, all m'thoughts on how ta continue her life. i told her we were gettin' close ta bustin' her outta th'hell she was in...

bu' she said she'd jus' b'livin' in hidin'... how would tha' b'betta than her life she had then? least she had some type o'free will. some type o'freedom... i didn' agree, bu' no matta how much i begged, pleaded, was s'desperate fer her ta continue livin' wit' me, fer us...

she refused each time.

n her reasonin' was so, so simple...

"You're going to be okay-"

she spoke like she knew th'future-

my future, wit' her green eyes shinin' so brightly, so softly n full o'tha' love she got me hooked on...

"You're needed elsewhere, Russ." Star stroked m'cheek, wipin' m'tears away. "When I'm gone, you're going to continue on. You're going to see so many new and interesting things! Things we've only read about now-"

"how do ya know?!" i snapped, regrettin' how i barked at m'Sweet n gentle Star... s'full o'rage n'anger, frustration...

"Because-" Star giggled- giggled her sweet giggle as a means ta blockin' m'verbal attack- "You're just like that, Russ."

confused; annoyed, i wanted ta yell again at her, thinkin' she wasn' takin' m'seriously...

"You travel; You have that freedom now, and maybe one day-... It'll be strained, yes. But you still travel and you're not scared to continue on. With your Soul, that curiosity, that bravery-"

"m'a coward..." i wasn't proud o'cuttin' her off; i knew she hated tha' th'most when talkin'... bu' how could she call m' brave when she was th'bravest b'tween us combined?...

hell, i was hidin' away from camera's b'cause i didn' wanna deal wit' Muff's bullshit o'stealin' her parlors pride n' joy...

"Oh, sure!" She spoke, voice still sugary sweet n' nah sarcastic. "Everyone has cowardly inside them; But, truthfully; You're tactical. Always have been, you just don't see it!"

Star would always say tha'.... jus' ta make m'shuddup n pout, cause no- i didn' b'lieve her... bu', i got tired o'arguin' wit'her.

"But honestly, Russ. Let's be honest here..." She signed, movin' her hair away from her face wit' a slight sight o'a sad face.

"You're going to live way longer than I will. That's a fact you'll have to live with!" she playfully pointed her fingah at m', knowin' i would fight tha'...

bu', i kept m'fangs shut.

"You're handsome, sweet, and gentle... And you're helpful. In this world, you'll hear your new calling... Though it might not be with me; It'll be out there! Just... Don't ignore it, okay?" Star smiled, almost like she knew.

"If you feel that tug on your chest-" she playfully made a tug on m'jacket, right 'bove m'achin' soul. "-You have to follow it!"

She beamed tha' gorgeous smile at m' again...

"And! You gotta do it." Star added cheekily, givin' m' a look tha' had m' reply-

"why's i gotta do it fer?" i pouted, tryin' hard t'scowl when i wanted t'smile wit' her.

"Because..." She paused, her own eyes mistin' jus' enough b'fer she dashed it b'hind tha' smile again...

"Do it for me!"

tha's all it took fer me...

tha's all it took fer m'ta agree.

n i agreed even afta her death. afta we broke free.

n then...

i felt tha' tug.

i felt tha' tug...

n i followed it.

i followed it-...

Whoever brought that up will be found and brought to my own hands of Justice. They better HoPe I don't find them... For my works are legendary in this world.

Ribba the Rabbit; Though affectionately called that by family, makes me somewhat regretful I allowed her to join the stats of these beings I command.

Oddly an aloof and dimwitted female rabbit monsters with the mindset of a toddler on the best of days; Always smiling and laughing where she can, constantly getting my Soldiers riled up and playing along with her games... Ribba has even gotten my brother into her antics, but that isn't as shocking with my brothers records.

However, besides the obvious downfalls of her personality, there are some good qualities to her.. The only few saving graces to being in this pandemonium world of ours.

Ribba's speed and hindsight of not needing to see where she strikes an enemy; Able to deal either deathly wounds or just an ounce of their life; Has gained her the nickname "Brisk Lapin".

Having another pair of hands to do that is a feature; Something not many of the others can do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have her in my quadrants to begin with...

Another is how she can keep the HoPe of the others alive. Her ability to be almost carefree and flowing with many creatures down here have easily broken up many fights. She says she doesn't have patience's, just plenty of experience when her toddler siblings would fight... Her tactics are that of a Mother, but it works. Annoyingly so.

But there is something odd with my Second Commander... I have noticed her ears will twitch first to others when they speak to her; But I suspect it's a power stance which I can admire.

Noticed the things others wouldn't with her paws; how she will tap certain items like tables with items on them and slightly hover her fingers until she reached the desired item in question. Or how she fumbles and makes it look like she's a clumsy rabbit...

Whether it's to have others guess her techniques and wonder how she got into my army's ranks or there is actually something wrong with her is still a secret I will be finding out on a later date.

For now; How could I possibly have any connection to a creature who is so opposite to myself in ways of personality? She doesn't even strike fear into others. She doesn't growl, doesn't yell, and takes those who yell at her rather than standing up for herself...

... But I saw that if it's for those under her; She stands up and shows a different side to that-... Disgustingly sweet side.

They have written in terms of how she strikes fear into those who have harmed her section. Issuing in some deaths, which from the aspects of the situation; Were unavoidable.

Perhaps-... The Judge wasn't wrong when they assigned her to being the new Second Commander.

...

Why would I care though?

She's just a rabbit monster; The shortest breed there is, as well. Normally used in the Parlor of Muffet's as prostitute's, somehow missed the memo & joined the ranks...

Perhaps that is why such a rumor is spreading...

...

It's a good thing I just found the deceitful imbecile, brave enough to run their mouth with me right behind him.
