Fluff & Stuff

Part 1

Artem: The next step is… to add cocoa powder and mix.

Artem: …Being this small, it's hard for me to accurately control the amount.

Artem: It's probably still not enough for her. Hmm… I'll try adding a little more.

Artem: That should be enough. Huh? What's lifting me up…?

Artem: You're… up? Did I wake you?

Artem: Well… I… um…

Artem: I wasn't trying to sneak out of the room while you were sleeping…

Artem: I'm not very used to this body yet, so I've been having trouble sleeping…

Artem: I figured I should take this opportunity to surprise you.

Artem: Like… a chocolate blueberry cupcake.

Artem: But you caught me before I was even halfway done…

Artem: The bed isn't far, but moving around is hard since I'm so small. Takes a while.

Artem: Don't worry. I'm okay. It's nothing when I think about how happy you would be to see it.

Artem: …I was wondering why you woke up. You dreamt that I was gone.

Artem: I wouldn't have left if I knew that. Watching you sleep is really nice too. Now… I'll make it up to you.

Artem: Other than a muffin, what else do you want to eat…?

Artem: Um, why are you rubbing my face all of a sudden…?

Artem: You did it because I didn't guess how you'd want me to pay you back…? Um, be gentle…

Artem: You won't stop until I guess? If you don't want a muffin, it must be…

Artem: I know. You want this… right?

Part 2

Artem: I didn't expect the surprise I originally wanted to give you to turn into something we'd do together.

Artem: Yeah, it's really great. What a special experience.

Artem: At first, I thought being this small would make it hard for me to help. But it does have its upsides.

Artem: I mean, I'm the perfect size to make small, intricate decorations that are edible.

Artem: We should taste it together next… A—choo—!

Artem: Ahem… I'm okay. Maybe I caught a cold after working in all the alternating temperatures just now.

Artem: I'll drink a cup of hot water to warm myself up. Don't worry too much.

Artem: Um… Why did you pick me up all of a sudden…?

Artem: Are you going to warm me up like this…?

Artem: I actually do feel much better. It's so cozy in your palm.

Artem: Sure enough, skin-to-skin contact really does warm people up…

Artem: Ah, you're blowing your hot breath on me… You want to make me even warmer…?

Artem: Yes… Using your breath like that is very effective, but… there are some "side effects."

Artem: Some of the places you blew on are a little ticklish, and they feel really sensitive…

Artem: Even there…?

Artem: Um… I don't feel uncomfortable. It's not that I don't like it. I just…

Artem: I feel like I've already fallen into your trap. I can't resist anymore.

Artem: So that was your plan all along… All right…
