The Fine Line Between Men and Women
"Aww, come on Carrot-chan! Just one little kiss!" Milphey crooned, hanging tightly onto a struggling Carrot.
"No way! That's gross! You're a guy!" Carrot screeched, torn between two great fears. One, that a guy would kiss him. Two, Tira and Chocolate would beat him for allowing Mille Feuille to hit on him. As if he had any control over the horny Haz Knight!
However, for some reason, Carrots' comment made Mille let go of his prey. Carrot took advantage of it and ducked behind his little brother before Milphey could change his mind and glomp him again.
"I'm not really a guy," Mille finally announced, pouting cutely. "I can't believe you actually believed that. I was just joking. Do I look that much like a guy?" Huge tears welled in the large, expressive golden eyes.
Carrot peered out from behind Marron. "You're really a girl?"
"Yes!"
"Really? Wow! In that case!" He bolted from behind Marron and knelt in front of Mille, taking 'her' hand in his and putting on his deepest, most "sexy" voice. "My fair lady, forgive my ignorance. Now that I know, perhaps we could go out to dinner and then go somewhere private and-…"
"Carrot!"
"Darling!"
"Uh oh," Carrot squeaked, making a break for it, the girls right behind. Marron and Gateau looked at each other and sighed. Milphey just giggled.
Later that evening they were all gathered around a fire. The fish Marron had caught while his brother was out getting beaten were cooking nicely and all appeared fine. However, the mood around the fire wasn't so great.
Tira and Chocolate were alternately glaring at Carrot and Milphey, Carrot was trying to hit on Mille without getting in trouble, Gateau was calling Carrot an idiot out of one side of his mouth while hitting on Marron out of the other, and Marron was fervently wishing he was somewhere alone with a nice book.
Finally Tira spoke up. "Are you telling us the truth when you say you're a woman, or when you say you're a man?"
Though she hadn't addressed the question to anyone specifically, it was rather obvious who she was speaking to.
"Well, what do you think?" Milphey shot back, adjusting one of the sticks in the fire, causing it to crackle and pop.
"Either you're a man pretending to be a woman, or you're a woman who likes to pretend she's a man pretending to be a woman. Either way, you're sick," Chocolate informed him.
"You are a woman, right?" Carrot asked nervously, remembering the brief make-out session he had managed to have while the girls were looking for him. He had lost them in the woods, but somehow Mille had found him and they had taken advantage of the situation. He had paid heavily later, but if Mille Feuille really was a girl, it would have been worth it. And if Mille was a guy….. well, he didn't want to think about what that would mean.
"Come on. Tell us!" Gateau prodded, showing some interest in something other than flexing for Marron.
Mille grinned. "I don't remember. Why doesn't one of you check for me?"
All was silent for a moment, before Chocolate nodded. "Oh yeah. Definitely a guy."
"With a comment like that, I'd say so," Tira agreed.
Gateau laughed hysterically, the girls groaned and pulled their cooked fish out of the fire, Marron prayed for lighting to strike and end his misery and Milphey marveled that he had been able to fool Carrot into having a little fun.
As for Carrot, he just lay on his back, twitching.
