Kyoko was at the counter holding the massive carrot in her hand once again, getting ready to peel it. Hmm, what am I doing back here? she wondered. She looked up from her vegetable chopping, but saw Kuon wasn't there. Huh, where did he go? He's supposed to be there watching me...this is so weird. It's like I'm reliving last night and having an out-of-body experience at the same time.

Woosh! The sound of the fridge opening drew Kyoko's attention and she saw Kuon rummaging through the fridge. He pulled out another COUS and walked over to her, clutching the root like a microphone. Suddenly he was no longer wearing his usual loungewear, but was dressed in tight, form fitting black jeans with a black leather bomber jacket over a white muscle tee. Kyoko's eyebrows shot up in appreciation. In a swift move, Kuon bounded up to the countertop, landing in a crouch. He stared deeply into her amber eyes.

Kyoko spun around and found herself wearing tight black leather pants accentuated with a black studded belt, and a tight white tee that showed off a sliver of her toned midriff. What in the...

Singer Kyoko also brought her enormous carrot to her mouth, staring right back at Hot Rocker Kuon's gorgeous green eyes.

Woosh! The fridge opened by itself as two man-sized, carrots armed with a guitar and base stepped out. Poof! A drummer carrot and drum set appeared in the living room. The rock band began headbanging and playing the beginning of Let Me Love You. The rocker/singer versions of themselves began bobbing their whole upper bodies in cadence with the music.

Rocker Kuon, still crouched, began singing into his carrot-

I used to believe

We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful

Kyoko felt, and saw herself, echo Kuon's last words, singing-

(So beautiful)

Somethin' beautiful (so beautiful)

Sellin' a dream

Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle (on a miracle)

On a miracle (on a miracle)

Bizarre Rocker Kuon back flipped off the counter onto the oak floor as Singer Kyoko sashayed to him-

They continued signing, this time in unison, starting intensely into each other's eyes

Say, go through the darkest of days

Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down

Oh, it's been a hell of ride

Driving the edge of a knife

Never let you go, never let down

Rocker Kuon took over the main lyrics-

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah

I won't give up, nah-nah-nah

Let me love you, let me love you

He sang through the chorus twice and somehow still looked gorgeous in spite of the large vegetable clutched in his hand.

Kyoko gasped, waking with a start. What the... Ugh, a pregnancy dream. That was the wackiest dream she could remember ever dreaming. Even stranger than the one she had of her Ren Tsuruga dolls serenading her with BTS's Butter, performing an entire dance routine in the LoveMe break room at LME.

She sat upright in the custom extra large bed she shared with Kuon. This bed is a monster, Kyoko's thoughts continued, there's still so much room... you could easily fit a giant penguin on the other side.

She glanced at her husband. He was soundly asleep, mouth slightly open, softly snoring. Her affectionate gaze lingered on his face for another couple moments before she laid back down to go back to sleep. Her final thought before drifting off was I'm going to buy Kuon an outfit like that...

A few hours later...

Kyoko woke to the first rays of sunshine peeking out from underneath the blinds in their spacious master suite. Kuon's right arm was draped over her chest, one hand resting on her breast. She felt him stir beside her.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said kissing her neck. "Did you sleep well?" he stretched languidly. "I know I did." Kyoko could hear smugness in his voice. They'd had quite a lot of strenuous activity before finally falling asleep last night.

"Yes," Kyoko replied. "Though I had a really strange dream centered around carrots, of all things."

"Carrots, hmm. Well, since you already tried the carrot, allow me to give you the stick," He said and pressed himself against her.

Kyoko laughed, turning around to face him. "You're insatiable, but I'll never say no to an offer like that."

A/N shrug
