The Potion

I do not own anything and if you're not a Keel x Lavi fan then don't read it. Also, slight inappropriate language and sexual references. It is definitely OOC.

[Keel's POV]

It wiggled. Does she realise what she's doing? Does she realise how close she is to my face. Lavi's ass was in my face. Well, not really but it was close enough. I tried not to stare but...it's hard. Especially when I can see her "panties" just peeking out of her amazing skirt.

It is hard being me. I'm a Dragon Ape but I'm in this damned human form and I'm certain it's 'cause of this damned form that I'm feeling weird towards this damned blonde female. I wanna touch it. I squint. Blue notices. I back off. Lavi gets up. She smiles and in her hands she has some violets. 'Aren't they pretty?' she asked

'Yeah, sure.' I scoff.

'They're lovely, Lavi, I bet they'd look great in your hair.' Mippy says

'You think?' she asks and compares them to her golden locks. They really will look great in her hair.

'I do think. Mippy retorts and puts them in her hair. They look absolutely freakin' adorable in her beautiful hair.

Inwardly, I berate myself. I feel like there are two halves of me some days. Some days I'm my true self – my Dragon Ape half but then there's this damned human self. This human self is damned mushy and it really wants Lavi. I mean it really wants her.

Our group keeps walking forward; we're goin' to some city called Romulus or somethin'. I don't really care. Lavi reckons we could probably splurge a little and get a room in an inn. A real bed and a hot shower she claims. She can be so egotistical at times regarding grooming but I'm glad she is otherwise she wouldn't nearly be as nice smelling. I catch her scent. Damn it is nice. It kinda smells faintly like me and Blue and Mippy and of violets but she mostly smells like her happiness and energy which are delightful smells of honey and apples. Delightful. I must be sick if I'm usin' a prissy word like that. Is it weird that I want her to smell more like me and less like Blue? I think it's weird but I also think it's a side-effect of this damned human body.

We reach Romulus. It's a massive place. Doesn't look like it takes much crap goin' on. The police forces eyes us but I think it's just my imagination. 'Look an inn.' Mippy pointed out and pointed a stubby paw at a sign.

'Let's go in then.' Lavi said. Blue and I just grunt our approval. We couldn't care less.

The inn was nice. It kinda quaint. Kinda homely. And I'm doin' that mushy human thing again. The innkeeper was shocked to see us. Am I really that scary, lady? I doubt it was the kappa or the pig devil's intimidation doin' it. 'Customers...how rare.' she offers

'Hello, we'd like two rooms, are you two right sharing?' Lavi asked

'Yeah, sure.' Blue says. She hands us some keys.

'The rooms you can use are on the keys. There is breakfast in the morning for a few coins.' She said nervously. Her face changed for a second. 'And a word of advice, a peddler often comes here. She's the reason why I'm going broke. She has many strange wares. My advice is that you don't buy any of it. All of it is cursed.'

'We understand.' Blue says.

The next morning. I slipped out before dawn. I couldn't sleep. And yes, my thoughts were dominated by that damned blonde. I loiter around and out of nowhere a girl on an ugly rug appears. On the rug are all these strange bottles of coloured liquids and are those sugar jar things? 'Hello, Keel.' the girl said

'How do you know my name?' I growl

'I read your aura. I know all your secrets. I know you are a Dragon Ape. I know that you're in love with your companion Lavi Heartful. And I know where your destiny lies. I can tell you how to achieve it or how to defy it for a better or worse one.' she said

'My wha?' I groan

'I know how to make Lavi fall in love with you. I can help you bypass your "species" problem. Do you want my help?' she asked.

Intelligence would say to not do this but my instincts which is my main source of intelligence is telling me go with it. She can help me. 'How do you plan on helpin' me?' I blurt out

'I have a potion which when drunken will separate your two "halves" so to speak. I have a potion which will cause the drinker to make anyone fall in love with them as long as two conditions have been completed.' she gave me the options

'What kind of conditions for the love potion?' I ask

'You have to kiss the person to drank it and touch them.' she replied and blushed. I wonder if she finished her sentence.

'The first potion?' I ask

'I can drag out the human half of you and the Dragon Ape half of you and separate you into two different entities for however long you want or until I give you the antidote. So, what is your choice?'

Dawn sprawls over and I can smell Lavi in all her glory. She's watching. I glance towards the door and it's partially open. Just a crack but enough to see what's happening. 'Can I see my options but don't tell me which on is which.' I grunt. I'm gonna leave it up to chance.

'A word of advice then; if you drink the love potion then try to kiss Lavi Heartful, she will die because the idea of the love potion is to enhance the emotions of the person you wish to be in a sexual relationship with.' The peddler girl blushed again whilst sayin' that. I think she's enjoyin' playin' cupid. I grab the bottle in her left and I drink it.
