Despairing Redemption Part 2
Yo, T'laren here! YES you read right, this is the second chapter to Despairing Redemption! To let all you reviewers know, I'm going to have an Author's Notes after this chapter to respond to you guys (and gals).
And to appease you Canon Zombies, I'd like e-mail input on what exactly you think is Canon for both Mia and Elk! (And please, PLEASE don't say Kite and Elk are Canon, I'd like to see you actually back that one up). Speaking of e-mail input, I want reasoning from the people who said this fic was AU. . . I want valid, logical proof that this relationship cannot exist outside of The World.
A warning: THIS IS FLUFFY!
Oh, one last note to Andy: Yes, I looked at Mia's blade. . . it's the 8 Phase sword, what's your point?
Alright, I'll shut up! On with the fic!

Mia stroked Elk's hair as they watched the morning shows: Cartoons, news, infomercials, talk shows, and more. After that, they just cuddled, until Elk looked into Mia's eyes.
She noticed his look and smiled, pulling a blanket over him and herself as she passed him a Playstation 4 controller and took one for herself, turning on the system and watching it read the disc and fire up the intro screen in about 15 seconds.
"This game is really good, Mia. I thought shooters like this didn't exist anymore" Elk commented after a few minutes of gameplay.
"They don't, little kitten. It's been revamped from way back in the day to be great again" Mia replied.
"And it's so challenging too... what's the name of this game again?" he asked.
"It's called Raiden. I used to be incredible at this game when it was nothing but a fire button, a bomb button and a joystick" she responded, smiling wistfully, then growled as she was blown up. "Of course, back then, it was also a bit easier and your partner watched your back..." she muttered darkly.
"All's fair in love and videogames Mom" Elk snickered.
"True enough" Mia sighed, hitting the start button as her last fighter was blown up, starting off with a new plane and three new lives.
Eventually, the pair grew tired of blasting oncoming waves of enemies and the game was turned off, the two returning to watching TV, when a thought entered Mia's mind.
"Elk, kitten? Did you tell Kite that we'd be taking a break for a week like I asked you to?" she asked. He hugged her close and nodded, his eyes half-lidded. She smiled and got up, taking a pair of cups out of the cabinet and filling them with milk, then putting them in the microwave for a minute and a half. Mia returned with the warm milk and gave a cup to Elk, who drank it down in a few minutes, while Mia took her time with her own drink as Elk dozed off back to sleep. Mia simply smiled down at her best friend in Real Life or in The World as the sun rose over the horizon, finishing off her milk and setting the cups on the coffee table, snuggling down with Elk in the blanket.
"I love you, sweet kitten" she murmured as she kissed his forehead and closed her eyes. She was on the verge of sleep when Elk answered.
"I love you too, Mama" he said. Mia smiled and followed Elk into sleep as the sun continued rising in the sky.
Note: YES, Raiden is an actual game, and it belongs to some company or another, I can't remember who right now though. Author's Notes are upcoming!
