AN: Kas - Ahhh, that duet was amazing!
Kit - I really love- Okay I'm being dragged off by Mom.
Kas - I'm going to assume she said she really loves cute nerdy OT3 stuffs.
"I- Ah- An...drew?" Randy knew that they were in Andrew's mind, and that the emotions were bound to be a bit different personality wise, but this was...something.
"Not quite, darling. But if you want, I can be. I can be whatever you want." The Andrew in front of them looked about eighteen or nineteen, and...incredibly like Randy.
"Uh...huh..." Randy slowly pushed Danny in front of him. "Have a Danny." Because this Andrew was looking and acting like a major flirt, and Randy wasn't quite sure if he could handle that at the moment. "So, um...which emotion are you?"
"I'd be Confidence," he hummed, a finger under Danny's chin tilting his head up. "Ooh, I could just eat you up." Danny only grinned wickedly, words coming out as a near purr.
"Oo, my angel, you already have, though...although I'm sure we could spend a bit more time together if you're feeling a little...lonely~" At Danny's words, Randy was slowly pulling the teen behind him, and away from Confidence.
"No. You two would just encourage each other's bad behavior- We are on a serious mission here."
"Oh, a mission? We haven't been on one of those in so long. So, tell me darling," Confidence said as he fell backwards onto a loveseat. "What sort of a mission is this? Retrieval? A bit of fright? Or is it one of the fun ones?"
"...Ooh, okay, that makes some sense of things..." So Andrew still acted a bit more like the Priest than even he realized at times. "It's a mission involving you, mon cheri. You had a bit of an accident with your alchemy, and we're here to tidy things up a bit. Nothing too bad to worry about, though." Flying over, Randy poked at Confidence's cheek. "So, is there a reason you're dressed and acting rather...interestingly." Because it would be rude to say slutty.
"Hm? Oh, I suppose I was just modelling myself after you. That's not a problem, is it, Randy?" Confidence strutted towards him with a near feral grin, until the two were only a few inches apart.
"A-Ah, n-no? I guess- I guess not?" Oh, lovely, Randy was backed against the wall, blushing brightly, and feeling like a tiny embarrassed teen. That- That was not expected of today. "I mean, as long as you're happy and everything, right? Heh..."
"Perfect." Confidence's smirk dropped to a smile that looked more genuine. "That's not so hard, seeing as you two are here."
"So, ah, right, do you happen to know anything about what's going on here? With your emotions? The alchemy potion you were working on deals with speed healing and your core, and going over what you did, I assume you mixed a wrong ingredient. Hence why your consciousness seems to be scattered across all your emotions, which, you are one...um...yes. That."
"Ah, that makes perfect sense," Confidence said, nodding along. "No, I don't know much of what's going on, though I'm sure I could make some theories, though it's a bit more difficult as I can't access my - our current memories, and so I don't know exactly what happened, but yes, there's something in the core, almost as though something was...unlocked. Interesting."
"Unlocked?" Randy frowned at that, looking to be thinking heavily before a dawning look of realization crossed his face. "Maybe..." At Danny's look, he gave a smile. "I have a theory, but it might take a few more emotions to confirm it."
Danny gave a nod before floating up to Confidence and pulling him into a deep kiss, looking absolutely love stricken. Confidence was thrown off for a moment before easily wrapping his arms around the teen and pulling him closer. It was a long moment before Danny was slowly parting, pecking the corner of the man's lips. "Sorry. Had to do it at least once."
"I'm not sure which of you is the bad influence," Randy snorted, looking more amused than anything. "So, can you show us a door? Or how to get to the next emotion?" The room was rather...striking. Bold colors and furniture that almost paled in comparison to Confidence's personality.
"The door's right behind you," Confidence hummed as he peppered Danny's face with sweet, fleeting kisses before releasing him. "Have fun on your little tour."
"This is going to be such a long day," Randy groaned, nudging Danny towards the door before pausing. Doubling back, he was jerking Confidence down for a kiss like Danny had done, although a bit rougher, and deeper. And maybe leaving some very sharp marks on the back of the man's neck with his nails. His eyes wide, Confidence's face quickly turned a bright red because he had never expected that from Randy.
"Such a sweet color you blush, mon cheri," Randy cooed, kissing at the cheeks before giving a sharp nip to one of the ear tips. Really, revenge was far too sweet. "I'll be sure to pick up where we left off when you wake up, if you wish~"
"I would certainly not be against that," Confidence quickly answered with a wide grin.
Danny rolled his eyes and tugged on Randy's hand. "Come on."
"Okay, to be fair, he deserved that one," Randy huffed, sneaking one more quick kiss to Confidence before following after Danny through the door. "...Huh." The room they had walked into...was one of the study rooms straight out of Vidya. In the middle of the room was a ghostly Andrew, like he might be any normal day. He was sitting criss cross in the air, his back to them as dozens of books circled around him, each having a purple aura.
Randy gave a slow nod, and, really, wasn't this familiar, now? Well, the lost in a pile of books was, at any rate. And, okay, was it wrong of him to sneak up on Andrew and greet him in a very loud, chirp of a hello? Maybe. Did he care? Not really. The emotion only glanced over to Randy for a brief moment. "Hello." He was already looking back to the books, his eyes a bright purple.
"...Oh dear. He's completely lost to his books," Randy sighed, floating around the emotion, almost absently checking the ghost over to see if he was alright. "I'm surprised I even got a hello out of him... So, would you be willing to tell us which emotion you are?"
"Obsession," he answered simply, his hand flicking here and there to put books back on the shelves and replace them with new ones. Danny gave a snort, looking amused.
"How am I not surprised?" Randy only rolled his eyes, snagging one of the books and glancing it over- Oh, huh, this was a good one.
"Definitely should have seen it coming, at any rate. I don't suppose you know what's going on with the emotions, do you? Or how to wake you up?" A pause. "Not you you, but Andrew you." Obsession's eyes narrowed at Randy for a long moment, the books stopping their orbit before he only snorted and went back to his brief scanning.
"No idea. Trying to see."
Danny stared, his eyes wide. "...He didn't kill you."
"I'm just as freaked, if it helps," Randy spoke, looking as startled. Usually Andrew tried to strangle them with a scarf if they interrupted- Wait... "See? What are you trying to see, cheri?"
"Memories. Events." With a quiet growl, a few books were snapped shut and thrown to the side before more were replacing them. Randy was catching them with his own energy out of habit, more than anything, setting them back on the shelf.
"...Your memories, you mean?"
"Mine. His," he said with a vague gesture all around. "Current events." Randy nodded slowly.
"Uh huh- Oh! You mean the other emotions. So, any idea as to what exactly is going on here?" Because he had a theory about what it could be...or at least, a theory relating as to why they didn't have speed-healing.
"I can't see."
Danny shook his head as he leaned against Randy, his tail wrapping lazily around the man's ankle. "You're getting him to talk way more than I thought."
"Still not much, though," Randy pointed out, wrapping around Danny and kissing at his cheek. "Obsession, huh..." An obsessed Andrew usually didn't even glance away from his books, the fact he was holding a conversation with them spoke volumes. "Might be because we're mates. Cores connected, and all that."
"Huh. I mean, that makes sense." Danny gave a small nod as he returned the kiss to his cheek with one of his own. "I mean, maybe this is less just the obsession, and more the core's main focuses?"
"...I forgot you were a scientist. That? Right there? It reminded me- And it would make more sense, I suppose, than just the obsession." Obsession snorted, looking incredibly amused by something. "Oh? Something you'd like to say, then? Maybe contribute to our worried conversation about our mate?"
"Both still clueless."
"Excuse you! You two are far more clueless than I am! Neither of you have realized!" Honestly, it wasn't that hard to tell that the collar tugs affected him in certain...ways. At that, Danny was only tilting his head curiously because no, now he wanted to know. Obsession only gave a vague hand wave, focused back on his books. "Nothing, nothing, you'll find out in due time. Probably...maybe. So, ah, Obsession. You gonna be okay if we leave?" Obsession waved a hand, a door next to one of the shelves opening as he spared another glance towards them.
Randy rolled his eyes before nudging Danny along, slipping over to kiss Obsession's cheek. "Alright, but take a break if you need to." Obsession gave the two a smile and a nod, watching the two leave, his own little way of seeing them out.
Seeing a new room, Randy raised an eyebrow at seeing...it was the gardens. Right by the pond, with the fish swimming around, and the lions dozing in a shaft of sunlight. Glancing around, and not seeing an Andrew, Randy blinked. "Ah...do you see him?" Danny looked to Randy as though he were being a bit silly. If there was an Andrew in the gardens...
"You check under the trees." The teen only floated over to the pond and looked down into it with a quiet laugh. "Nevermind." Randy blinked but flew over, laughing as he saw a familiar white bubble, a ghostly Andrew resting in the center of it.
"Think I can pull it up?" Danny only gave a shrug, looking blank. "Welp, never gonna know if we don't try." With that, Randy was gently flicking his hand, nudging at the shield and blinking as it was brought up to the surface. Seeing a startled Andrew, he gave a smile. "Heh, hi, darling." The emotion looked delighted at the sight of them, leaning against the shield and waving at them with a giggle. "Aw...I need to hug him." With that, Randy was gently moving the bubble over to the grass, letting it fade before he was holding his arms out to the other. "Hug."
The emotion near tackled him in a hug, his own tail formed and curling around Randy. "I didn't think I'd see you here."
"Yeaaah, we didn't think we'd be here," Randy chuckled, nuzzling against his cheek before nudging him to see Danny. "And look. A Danny." The emotion only tackled Danny into a hug and nuzzled against him, his tail remaining tightly wound around Randy. "So, which emotion are you then, darling?" One of the more affectionate ones, for sure- Well, they were all affectionate, just in their own ways.
"Mm, Love," he hummed happily. Danny was only happily returning the hug, nuzzling back against Love while Randy grinned widely. Love, huh? Adorable.
"Ha, I knew you loved the pond."
"Of course I do." Love looked at him as though he were being silly. "You made it for me. It's something special that you made." ...Alright, Randy was now clinging to both mates. It's not like he could help it when they were being so cute and adorable!
"Adorable mate." And, alright, maybe Randy gave him a few kisses. Love was all too happy to press back against the kisses, looking like there was absolutely no place he'd rather be. It was a long few moments before Randy was starting to pull back. "Emotions- Right, right. We're here because- Yeah. ...Why are we here." Alright, he was a bit dazed, his mates had a good effect on him.
"Mm, that's what I was wondering." Love glanced from Randy over to Danny, looking...incredibly innocent. "Why are you two here?"
Danny gave a quiet sigh as he gently kissed Love. "You just got in a bit of trouble with some of your alchemy."
"Oh, right, that," Randy nodded, back on track. "Trouble with your alchemy, and your speed healing. Nothing to worry about, of course." A gentle smile, and kiss to accompany it. "We'll get you straightened out in no time. Promise."
Love gave a laugh, a spark of amusement twinkling in his eye. "Well, that's going to be impossible." Randy gave a heavy sigh, hiding his face in Andrew's neck.
"Nooo. I expected it from Danny, but you too, Andy? Really, now." Danny was quietly snickering, looking incredibly proud.
"My cute little Andy," Danny said as he nuzzled against him, noticing he was just the tiniest bit younger looking. Randy only groaned, trying to be as dramatic as possible.
"Yeah, yeah, punning nerds aside, we should probably get to the next emotion." As much as he really wouldn't mind staying behind in the gardens...they needed to wake Andrew up. Too long asleep like this couldn't be good. "Is there a door, somewhere near here?" Love gave a small nod, looking disappointed they were leaving already.
"It's behind the pond." Randy nodded, glancing to the door before scooping up Love and settling down under a tree, as well as tugging Danny down next to them.
"You know, we stayed with Sorrow for a bit...don't see why we couldn't stay here a little longer." Randy was weak, they all knew this. Grinning brightly, Love tackled him to the ground and peppered his face with sweet kisses, muttering small things of adoration. "Danny, help, I'm too weak for this." And, alright, he might have been blushing. Quite a bit.
Danny only gave a laugh as he flopped down next to them, grinning widely. "You're so adorable." Randy huffed, not really fighting against the kisses or attention.
"You both are against me. Honestly. So rude, the two of you." Although it had been a few days since mate cuddles, since he had been on a job...so he supposed that was one reason he wasn't as against it as he might be. Plus, really... Andrew and Danny cuddles. "I guess I'm just gonna be stuck here for quite a while." The youngest kissed at his cheek, his tail draped over the two of them.
"That's okay, right?" Randy gave a quiet, content purr.
"Absolutely perfect, my sweet."
