I'll never be able to write something that isn't taking advantage of that T rating.

Also I was weak, save me.


"Stop this." Kululu demanded, crossing his arms. "I know what you're doing now. I get it, all sorts of idiots for some reason take the whole 'kiss and make up' scenario way too seriously. But getting me and Mois to fight for this deranged idea that we'd be a good couple?" Kululu looked venomous. "No."

Kululu was calling Saburo out. He had taken care that Angol Mois was not nearby when this argument was happening, made her some curry, talked to her, made sure things were all right, and then tried to fix numerous chairs, clothing outfits and other things he had broken in his pathetic and problematic pleas for attention.

Now that Angol Mois was off to bed at a normal time like 2 PM, he was able to talk to Saburo.

"Listen, I didn't think you two would take fighting so seriously. I thought you'd run to each other and compliment the heck out of each other. I'm just doing this to help you out, Kululu...You gotta believe I mean, no harm." Saburo looked at him pleadingly. "I really didn't mean to make her cry."

He hoped Kululu believed him. Kululu was his friend. And it wasn't like he had given up setting them up, it was just the more he pushed the more Kululu pushed back. Why did he have to be so stubborn.

It can't be that he just doesn't want to date her. He might just not think my ideas on getting them together are any good. After all, they've mostly been at his expense. Saburo winced. Angol Mois wasn't feeling anything extra positive for Kululu after all.

Hey! Not my fault though. I was trying to get her to like you more by have you save her, and you completely ditched her. Saburo remembered.

"Saburo..." Kululu sighed. "You're a good friend of mine. And I know oddly enough you have a good heart and good intentions sometimes. You'll manipulate people and not tell them the whole story if you believe those intentions are truthfully good and usually I don't put my foot down about that, but...It's a problem. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu crossed his arms. "If you ever make Mois cry again I'm going to be incredibly..."

"Mad, disappointed?" Saburo suggested.

"A mixture of a lot of emotions. I would hope you would be since she's a planet destroyer. You're really playing with the devil by making the planet destroyer unhappy." Kululu tried to frighten Saburo.

Saburo laughed. "If that was the case, why was it that you purposefully tried to be even more of a jerk when she was ignoring you? Wasn't that just bound to blow up in your face?"

Kululu was silent for a moment. Really at that point he would have been happy for any sort of reaction- including planetary destruction.

"Just...Stop. I don't care if you think I want to date Mois now or if you think we're a good couple. I don't care about any of that. Just...Can't you realize that she's incredibly uncomfortable? I can't allow this to go on." Kululu pointed out.

Saburo laughed at an inappropriate moment. "I thought you were all about making people uncomfortable."

"...She cried. She cried sparkly tears, Saburo." Kululu wasn't speaking right.

Saburo didn't really understand. He had seen her tears. They were just tears. Water droplets and all that. There was nothing sparkly about them. Did Kululu think that her pores had glitter in them or something?

"I...I am. Usually. Ku, ku, ku. I'm a jerk till the end. But I don't want to get any more fake fights with Mois. For once I did nothing wrong, so I feel kinda ticked off that I was blamed. So how about you listen to me, take a clue and stay the heck out of Mois's and mine relationship? Our problems, our ours to deal with." Kululu frowned.

Saburo frowned. Guess Kululu won't do any more favors for me in regards to Mois then. He gave a small nod. Kululu did seem distressed.

"I...I got it. I won't try to talk to you about it any longer. You're right. And it's mostly been at your expense which wasn't my plan at all..." Saburo confessed.

Kululu eased up. "Good that you understand. Ku."

Doesn't mean I'm giving up though! Saburo didn't give up. Kululu was right that once he thought he was doing something for the greater good, he would stick with it.

He just had to use the more harmless plans in his wingman book. And he mostly had to use them to manipulate Angol Mois. She was always willing to help someone and her feelings towards Kululu weren't changing to anything more positive.

He needed to change this.

Kululu watched Saburo for a moment before Saburo changed the subject so that Kululu wouldn't suspect that he hadn't let the subject drop.

"So I played this really cool video game the other day..."

Kululu listened intently hoping that Saburo truly had dropped the subject.

He might think that Mois and me would be perfect for each other, but that doesn't make it true. That and… He worried the more Saburo pushed Angol Mois on this subject the more she would associate him with the problem. He couldn't afford to lose her as a co-worker and work associate.

He had already lost her once from that fight. It had been tough. It had been tough to just not hang around her and have her attention.

Mois doesn't like me. Anything Saburo does won't change that. So I don't understand why he's foolish enough to think he's helping by trying to get her interested? Doesn't he know how lovesick she is for the captain? Saburo was a fool.

Kululu forgot to mentally add to the problem that he didn't like Mois too. It had sort of slipped his mind.


Saburo knew he didn't want to make Kululu mad or anyone to be hurt in his next plan. So he skipped around in his book to find something harmless.

"Ah...The chapter on literally the most cliché shoujo manga cliches." Saburo sighed. "I prefer shonen myself, so I haven't read much shoujo..." Keroro and him had discussed it before, how boring shoujo was.

He had said the reason it was boring was all the romances and the unrealistic scenarios. Why couldn't the two people just be honest and confess to each other instead of pointless miscommunication devices to keep their boring rom-com going?

Keroro had laughed. "I don't have a problem with rom-com's. I sure do like watching Giroro fail at romance after all. It's just...I don't know the romances in shoujos seem boring like there's too many...what's the word...It's like an edge...A line."

"Straights?" Saburo had suggested.

"UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO!" Keroro had said frantically, "I just...the girl characters are kind of boring. Nothing like the main leads in the gundam manga. Really they guys work together better they should be together instead."

"That's what yaois are for. They're like the rom-com shoujos without the girls." Saburo pointed out.

Keroro said the word like it was foreign. "Y-yaoi's?" He decided to look it up later. Whatever these were they sounded interesting.

Saburo recalled that conversation well. But it had nothing to do with now. He knew he had to keep himself focused on the bad shoujo cliches in the real world. After all they might be a lot more harmless or less dramatic than fake kidnapping and fights. "The makeover (TM). To wingman your pal up with someone you think they'd like, it can help to give the person a makeover to make them irresistible and super cute to the other person. They won't be able to stop being blushy and frantic around them or keep their eyes off of them. This technique is sure to make one party interested and the other party realize the one party is interested."

Saburo grinned. It sounded so harmless. Kululu was sure not to be mad at this one. After all it might make Angol Mois happy too. She loved make overs. He and her had painted their nails together before on one of their outings. She was just a chattery and overly enthusiastic person.

And although he knew now that she knew of his plans for her and Kululu, she would see no reason to refuse this plan because it was harmless.

Fool-proof.


"I'm still super mad." Angol Mois crossed her arms. "It was mean to use my overly trusting nature to make me think that Kululu hated so many things about me." She saw Saburo and glared at him with distaste.

"Sorry! Kululu's talked to me about the issue. And although I had good intentions, I didn't think you guys would take it so seriously. After all you only got seriously mad when I insulted your technology." Saburo tried to laugh it off.

"That's super serious!" Angol Mois grumbled. "But Kululu has reassured me over and over again that flip phones are cool. You could say, there was harm so foul?"

Saburo just blinked. He couldn't believe how petty they were that they were mostly mad about those issues and the insult on the technology verses the multiple insecurities that he had dug up. "I'm really sorry." He sighed again. "I really honestly believed at the time that you would just kiss and make up immediately."

"Me and Kululu aren't going to kiss." Angol Mois glared. "And we wouldn't have our first kiss over fighting. That's dumb. What kind of person do you think I am? I get seduced by romance, not anger and hatred."

Saburo winced. She was right. "I'm...I'm sorry. Can I make it up to you? I was thinking maybe I could get you a present to make it up to you. Take you on a shopping trip or something. You like nail art with your friends, right?" Saburo suggested trying to get on Angol Mois's good side.

She crossed her arms. "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to get you some cute outfits and all that. Nothing to do with Kululu, really." Saburo lied. Everything to do with Kululu. "We could just do some fun salon stuff, do our hair, make up, stuff like that."

Angol Mois looked skeptical.

"Oh come on. Everybody knows that out of the humans I by far have the best hair. I can give you all sorts of hair care tips." Saburo offered. "I mean look at how beautiful my hair is. So pretty boy." He did a hair flip.

Angol Mois just narrowed her eyes. "I…I am running low on nice clothes, thanks to someone ruining all mine. I had an arm growing out of one of my shirts, you know. An arm! Fuyuki just pat me on the back and said 'he did that to me too.'"

Saburo smiled. "See! And I've got all sorts of fashion tips. I am pretty fashionable." He pat her on the back. "And you can model afterwards if you want. I'm sure you'll look quite pretty in anything you dress up in."

Angol Mois narrowed her eyes again suspicious. "I knew there was a reason you were Kululu's friend. You both like girls modeling for you so you can take weird pictures, huh?"

Saburo frowned. Did Kululu do that with her? "I won't take pictures." He promised. "I was thinking afterwards we could show off my handiwork to the platoon….Like Keroro?"

This got Angol Mois to lighten up. "Do you think he'll think I'm pretty?"
I'm sure Kululu will, who will be there. Saburo smiled. "Oh yeah. I think he'll be quite taken to you."

There was a little bit of worry that Kululu would be fine. After all hadn't Angol Mois just said she modeled for Kululu for some sort of pervy or weird desire? "Um...About Kululu getting girls to model for him..." Saburo wondered if he should even ask.

He knew his friend was all sorts of creepy and problematic. Heck, he knew Kululu hadn't even gotten just girls to model for him. He had taken pictures of Saburo too and sold them, (although Saburo was completely fine with that). Was it something like that with Mois too? But that seemed a little more exploitative than Saburo since she didn't know what she was getting into.

I know he used to do that….He did offer to sell something to me once like that. Although it was blank. I didn't know he had gotten her to willingly model for him.

"Oh yeah. Sometimes he asks Natsumi to model for him for blackmail in exchange for helping her." Angol Mois replied perkily. "Or he needs me to model something for an invasion plan. You know, average stuff like that."

"How does you wearing pretty outfits have anything to do with the invasion plan?" Saburo asked.

"Well sometimes he puts the pictures of me on soda cans and we use them as a product." Angol Mois used an example. "It's mostly used to sell things. You could say, helps sell the merchandise?"

Saburo winced. He supposed that made sense in a way… "Well...I mean I knew Kululu cared a lot more about money than about like, checking people out."

"Oh no. Don't worry he's a complete pervert too!" Angol Mois said perkily like it wasn't a bad thing.

Saburo didn't think he wanted to here this.

"He tries to get me into things all the time that I'm like "hmmm...Ya know Kululu I think that's showing a little too much skin. Not very appropriate for work to sell pictures of that." But then he says that it wouldn't really be for work, it would go to his 'personal picture collection of me' whatever that is." Angol Mois shrugged.

"….Does he do that with everyone?" Saburo asked.

Angol Mois shrugged. "I don't think so. Just a hunch but I feel like if he asked anyone else they'd probably beat him up. That and I know there's a folder of pictures he hasn't sold of me somewhere on his computer. I don't have a problem with it, they're nice shots, and it's fun to dress up for Kululu. That and when he's hiding behind a camera lens it's the only time he'll look at me..." Angol Mois trailed off.

"So...Is he just a pervert or like is it because you're modeling?" Saburo asked.

Angol Mois shrugged. All she knew was that he did that. "He doesn't push if I say no and I'm pretty willing unless the costumes get too outlandish. I haven't done anything bad. I just have fun modeling with Kululu so I've felt no reason to question in. I'd like to think he just asks for other outfits that are in his own picture collection because we're friends."
"Uhhh...I don't think that's how friendship works." Saburo frowned.

"Friends always have pictures of each other on their phones and things! I don't mind if his pictures of me are all in like...maid outfits or things like that. I'm just happy that he had pictures of me." Angol Mois smiled.

So then he's used to her modeling and being in that makeover mode...Will this plan even work? Saburo wondered. "So he's seen you in most every outfit? And he's just kind of professional with his reactions?"

"Well...I've never modeled in my angolian form..." Angol Mois admitted. "I don't think he has anything in my size and he's never asked because I guess possible inconvenience? That and I only want to dress up that form for fun! You know, because I feel confident enough and happy enough to wear something fun in that form!" She chattered.

Bing-o. So I can dress her up in that form. "Why, then I just got a great idea!" Saburo smiled. "Why don't we dress you up in that form and give you a little make-over! I'm sure the entire platoon would be surprised and would hardly recognize because you barely use that one. They'd all be swooning." He used her love for Keroro to get her to agree.

"Of course they wouldn't recognize me...Did you know once I asked Uncle what he thought my natural hair color was and he said blonde? Blonde of all things..." She shook her head. "But I guess you're right. I mean I've never been fashionable enough on my own to know what fits well with my skin tone and me, but I'm sure since you're the resident pretty boy, you know, Saburo."

Saburo grinned. He did know! "I'll make you look fabulous, Mois." He promised.


Angol Mois was at Saburo's house- which Saburo had to clean up before Angol Mois visited, the entire day. Saburo was giving her all sorts of beauty tips and by the end of the day she was completely made over.

Man did Saburo love make up a ton more than Angol Mois.

Make up is the best. He looked the artistic craftsmanship of doing eyeliner on someone, painting someone's lips, giving them a tiny bit of blush. He looked the pretty eye shadow he had given Mois.

Although Angol Mois had wanted to have complicated designs on her outfit like any other angolian wear, Saburo had insisted she should stick to simpler stuff and colors since he wanted to draw Kululu's attention to her, and not just the clothes.

He made sure it didn't have shoulders like her previous outfit, but instead of a collar and gaudy hand guards to distract from her body it was just very sleek. He made sure the skirt that he got her was a little more elegant, half of it very long to cover up one leg with a slit in the middle to sort of cause a wave and make it shorter.

"Do you think Uncle will like this?" Angol Mois asked. Saburo had pinned up her hair in a little bit of a bun to be different, using a golden comb as a hairpin.

"I think he'll love it." Saburo smiled.

He hoped Kululu gave him exactly the reaction he was looking for. He hoped Kululu just stared at her in awe.


He brought her to the Keroro platoon's base.

"Hey guys! I brought a present for you. Presenting my finest handiwork and craftsmanship-" Saburo grinned, hiding Angol Mois behind the door.

The Keroro platoon just stared at him, they didn't know what he was doing there.

"Are you sure? We both know that Gundam models are your finest work." Keroro said.

Saburo ignored him. "I dolled Angol Mois up. She looks really pretty!" Saburo said letting her walk through the door. "As a pretty boy and someone gorgeous, I knew how to make someone else gorgeous!"

Tamama opened his mouth to no doubt say something mean. Saburo quickly wrote something on a sheet of paper and held it over his head behind Angol Mois so Tamama could see it.

"This has nothing to do with impressing Keroro. Just be quiet, okay? I'll draw you a picture of a cake later." He wrote. "She's in her angolian form so it's really easy for her to destroy the planet if you make her mad." Was on his paper.

Tamama shook a little and nodded.

"Wow! Mois, ummm….You changed your hair color!" Keroro noted. "Hair's so weird. I never understand it." He just shook his head. "Why do pekoponians have so much of it? I mean I even heard a rumor that they have it on their-"

"Don't be gross, Keroro." Giroro hushed. Nobody would insult pekoponians bodies on his watch. Sure they might be like hairy bigfoots to all of them, but still there would be no insults.

Kululu just stared at Angol Mois. He didn't stop staring.

Saburo tried not to look smug.

Eventually Angol Mois realized how much Kululu was staring at her and ogling so she stared back.

"S-stop that." He requested.

"Stop what?" She played innocent.

"L-looking at me." His glasses were cracking a little bit.

"But you were staring at me. What's the harm at looking at you?" Angol Mois asked.

"I...I w-wasn't..I was not." Kululu just stuttered.

Angol Mois wasn't sure why Kululu was getting embarrassed. He loved looking at her. She knew that. He knew she knew that. Why was he getting so embarrassed now? Was it because she was in a different form?

Was it cuz Saburo was there?
"I don't have my camera lens to protect against the s-sparkles. So I wasn't staring. Ku." Kululu insisted.

"That's weird. You're weird." Angol Mois teased. "We'll get your camera later, I guess."

Kululu gulped, but Saburo could see him turn away before he could blush.

I guess that confirms that he's attracted to her. YES! At least that's something! Saburo smiled. He couldn't refute Saburo's help now.

He had proof that Kululu was into Angol Mois. He kind of wished Kululu had been more over-dramatic about seeing Angol Mois but he knew the guy saw her everyday so this wasn't that new to him.

He decided to tease and ask Kululu about it later.


"So...Did you like the outfit I put Angol Mois in?" Saburo asked. "Did I do a good job dressing her up?"

"She looked fine. I could have probably done better." Kululu confessed. "You don't know about all the things Angol Mois looks best in. And I have better designs and ideas. I have a whole journal with outfit ideas. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu bragged.

Wow. Yeah umm...That's obsessive. How did I miss that Kululu was so into Mois before? "You're attracted to Mois." Saburo stated the obvious, an accusation.

"Well yeah, duh. I never deny when someone's hot as heck. Makes it more fun to have her dress up if I'm appreciative of what I'm looking at. Makes the job a whole lot easier. Ku, ku, ku. And it is very easy to be appreciative..." Kululu didn't mind saying Angol Mois was attractive. After all that wasn't a reason they should get together, nor was it feelings.

It was just looks. No reason to deny that.

"I thought you said Aki was the most attractive person." Saburo frowned. "And that Angol Mois was only the girl of your nightmares. How can she be in your nightmares if you're attracted to her?"

"She's cute too. She can be hot, sexy, sometimes, but as soon as she looks at me or opens her mouth she'll become innocent again regardless of what she's doing. And then the nightmares come." Kululu frowned. "And Aki is the most attractive, data says so. No personal bias and all. And I'm not being personally biased about Mois. She has a nice body. A lot of people have nice bodies, I'm sure. Ku."

"But are you personally attracted to them? Are you more attracted to Mois than the rest?" Saburo asked. Or are you replying with data again?

Kululu became silent. He knew Saburo was digging for more Mois information. "Saburo. I'm going to be a little blunt here...And I know I shouldn't answer bluntly since you have some crazy ideas in your head about me and Mois, but I know you won't be satisfied by whatever other answer I give."

Saburo listened.

"I like myself very much. I'm the greatest and Mois….Well...Her angolian form at least, have you noticed anything odd about her outfit?" Kululu asked.

"No?" Saburo replied.

Kululu looked at him. "She has spiral nipples."

Saburo covered his ears. He really didn't want to hear this. "That's the reason? Really?"

"Well that and the lucifer spear. And also she's got a nice pair of legs. Okay and a lot of other body parts, but..It's got nothing to do with me liking her or being personal biased." Kululu shrugged trying to be casual.

Saburo didn't really believe him. He was trying to get past the subject awfully quick.

"I try never to deny that she's hot as heck." Kululu continued. "It...It doesn't usually benefit me. Since I ask her to model for me so frequently it's better to make the experience positive for her by giving her positive reinforcement. Compliment her, ya know? It sure makes her happier to do it. And I'm not risking my Mois pictures to lie about something dumb." Kululu shrugged.

There were other reasons he was against lying about how Mois looked. After all what if it got back to her? He didn't know how exactly she felt about her body after all he wasn't a race who could shape-shift or use a facade in anyway, but to use a disguise all the time instead of her real form...He worried a little that she liked her Asami disguise better than her angolian form.

It was healthier if he just didn't add into any body issues. He knew what it like to feel a little insecure about your appearance. He was very used to it. And he didn't want Mois to feel the same way.

Still...I didn't expect Saburo to dress her up. I'm glad I was able to keep my cool and not...Stare too much. He liked staring at her, but he had been getting embarrassed. Usually he was better prepared to see her in a pretty outfit because he had made them. But this had been a surprise.

So he wasn't mentally prepared at all. His Mois shields weren't up.

That was too much. She was too cute. What if Saburo's good intentions accidentally killed him? Didn't he know the power of Mois's good looks and her sparkly eyes were dangerous? They needed to be used in small doses or else he would no doubt die.

He knew this 100%. He had to stop Saburo.


Kululu had a plan to stop Saburo, but it required Angol Mois's help, the other person who was in this.

"Mois...You know how Saburo is still trying to set us up right? Cuz for some reason the misguided fool thinks we'd be a good match for each other?" Kululu asked.

Angol Mois looked a little uncomfortable when he brought that up. She didn't know where this conversation was headed. She never knew with Kululu. She looked up briefly from her computer screen. "...Yes?"

"And you know how both of us, 100% don't want that? Ku, ku, ku." Kululu asked again.

"T-that's...True…?" Angol Mois didn't know if that was true. Kinda sounds like he's starting to hint that maybe it's only 95% true on his side. Wait...Is he going to ask me out or something? Has Saburo gotten to him? Kululu wasn't that willing to help out his friend, right?

"Well, I was thinking about a plan to maybe get him to leave us alone." Kululu suggested. "Would you be up for it."

Angol Mois listened. O-oh. Guess I was wrong. She didn't know if she was relieved or disappointed. She supposed that would make sense that Kululu wanted to plan with her. She was just as deep in this as him. "I'd be more than willing!" She perked up.

"I was thinking if we pretended we were already a couple or something, he'd get off our backs. I mean he just wants us to be together. He'll feel like he helped, and then he'll leave us alone and we'll be on our marry way. Does mean we have to act super loving for like a day or two but if that's what it requires for him to stop shipping us I'd be more than willing. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu suggested.

Angol Mois thought about it. His plan didn't sound wrong. It sounded like it would probably work too. "All right. You could say, the lovey dovey plan begins now?" She stretched out her hand to shake his.

Kululu gave a sinister grin. "Just a warning. I'm going to have to be super creepy and terrible and get in your personal space bubble to get Saburo to believe it. He's no idiot."

"I'll try to be as lovesick as I usually am around, Uncle. I'm a great romantic! Don't worry!" Angol Mois reassured.

Kululu winced. I thought maybe I could be a little bit of a jerk to survive this. I know she gets a little embarrassed about abrupt touching but….He hoped he could survive.

Because Saburo would probably see a whole new side of Kululu that he had never seen before if he saw Kululu freak out around Angol Mois.

I mean...If he sees me freak out from her acting super affectionate and staring at me...Maybe he'll truthfully understand I'm afraid. He hoped.

But something in the pit of his stomach said that wasn't going to happen. That someone looking at Kululu's terror might get the wrong idea.


Saburo approached Angol Mois and Kululu who were walking in the street together. He wondered what plan of his he should try today.

But the two of them seemed lost in conversation with each other.

"Oh and then I was thinking of making the vaccum suck up all Tamama's evil and maybe he'd be somewhat tolerable then. I think I'll shoot it at Keroro the vaccum that can suck evil. Ku, ku, ku." Kululu bragged about a new invention.

"Kululu I don't think I like this idea of an invention...I mean it's probably going to blow up in your face. You're the most evil around. What if it sucks up your evil?" Mois asked concerned. "Then you'd be only nice!"

"Ku!" Kululu laughed. "Babe, don't worry. Nothing can suck up my evil."

"Except me you mean." Angol Mois pointed out.

"Unfortunate. Unfortunate." Kululu just repeated. "But you can suck my-"

Angol Mois shook her head. "I'm not a vacuum cleaner." She laughed.

"Uhhh...Yeah you just keep thinking that's what I was saying. Man, you really miss flirting a lot." Kululu just sighed. This time she was supposed to pick up on the flirting! She needed to so Saburo could see how close they were.

Saburo just stared. Were they acting weird or closer? Or was this normal? It looked pretty normal to him.

Kululu reached up and entwined his fingers with Angol Mois's as if to give her the cue that they should be closer and a little more flirtatious. He could see that Saburo had stopped moving but that he wasn't really picking up on anything. "So..Did you want to go get some ice cream for our date? Ku."

"Oh yeah. I like ice cream!" Angol Mois giggled.

Kululu hoped Saburo at least picked up on that. He had explicitly said date.

He saw Saburo pretending not to follow even though he was.


They sat down in the park on a bench with their ice cream. Kululu knew Saburo was walking somewhere, or was behind a tree. He could probably hear them.

"You're cute." Angol Mois finally said.

"Thanks. So are you." Kululu replied.

"No, I mean, like you really are cute! I've told you this plenty of times, right? You're adorable." Angol Mois complimented. She smiled and the smile seemed to light up everything.

WHOA WAIT, CRAP. She's trying to use the technique of come from a place of genuineness so that her words aren't full lies! It made things convincing, especially for Saburo since Saburo wasn't an idiot, but he couldn't take her sincerity.

It was too cute. It was so cute. It was destroying him. "Y-you're-" He couldn't flirt back.

"You're the best, Kululu. You're like...So cool! I always love looking at you and staring at you. I never want to take my eyes off of you." Angol Mois continued to shower him in compliments so that it seemed like they were super lovey-dovey.

And the worst part was that Kululu could see in her smile, hear in the way her voice perked up and how proud she was, she wasn't lying.

It was the thing that frightened him the most about Angol Mois. The thing he hated about her. He covered his face in his hands, unable to cover up the blush. He hoped it hadn't somehow melted through his hands and she could see.

"K-ku. S-stop that." He was getting too frazzled. Saburo was sure to see and understand that he was afraid.

But by the way he was smiling, would he really understand that he was afraid?

Got to get her to stop talking. To stop looking. S-saburo's definitely going to t-think I'm pathetic for being so frightened. I can already feel every cell in my body dying. He could actually hear wires in his headphones fizzing from the heat rushing to his head.

Man, did Mois destroy him. His glasses were fogging up and breaking too.

"Ah, M-mois." He had to find his resolve to convince Saburo that they were a couple. To say her name without stuttering.

She smiled waiting for him to finish his sentence.

"Want to try some of my ice cream?" Kululu asked. He knew in-direct kisses were a big thing on Pekopon and he just had to survive one.

He didn't really know if he could do that. Mois might not know that they had experienced any indirect kisses before, but he remembered one time when he had grabbed her water bottle by mistake...She wasn't sure why he had freaked out for over an hour, but he sure as heck wasn't going to tell her.

"Um...No thank you." Angol Mois smiled. "You put curry on your's." She laughed.

Oh. Oh yeah. I guess she's not willing to get Saburo off our backs if it means eating curried ice cream. He frowned. Wimp.

"Ku, ku, ku, mind if I have some of your ice cream then? I won't lick any part your mouth has touched, don't worry." He reassured.

Even if I did it would be better than Saburo trying to hook us up. He didn't want Mois to cry again.

Angol Mois thought for a moment. "Okay!" He had warned her ahead of time that he might need to invade her personal space bubble. Ice cream sharing wasn't nearly as bad as anything else.

Kululu didn't move to the ice cream though. This ought to be enough for Saburo. Get him to leave and take all doubts out of his mind. He hoped he was doing this to get rid of Saburo and not out of his own selfish desire.

He also knew he might be doing it to be a jerk to Mois. That sounded a lot like him. Any opportunity he could take to be a jerk till the end.

He moved his mouth over towards Mois's slender fingers where a small amount of ice cream had dripped. All too slowly he gave them a hesitant and long lick.

Angol Mois immediately lit up in blush. He could feel her hand shake as if about to drop the ice cream.

KU! TAKE THAT. YEARS OF TORTURE AND FINALLY YOU'RE BLUSHING ABOUT AS MUCH AS I USUALLY DO. He knew he shouldn't be enjoying this.

He was way embarrassed about his mouth touching her, but licking her fingers wasn't...technically...a kiss. And he'd even do something that he'd freak out about later if it meant being a big jerk to someone. That was just how he rolled.

"K-kulu..." Angol Mois wondered if she should stop him. She knew what he was doing, and honestly it made sense. Saburo would need more evidence than a few flirtatious words to show that they were in love.

It was just a hand. She quickly pulled her hand away.

Kululu pouted. He's going to find out if you get all embarrassed! His eyes scolded.

She just switched what hand was holding the ice cream. She didn't want to drop it after all. And with what he was doing, she was sure he'd drop it. Although...I have the sinking suspicion he kind of deserves if I like...Drop it on his face or something. Slam the ice cream cone on his face. I kinda feel like he was doing that just for the sake of being a jerk, and not to convince Saburo. Or maybe both. Angol Mois frowned.

Why was it that around Kululu, everybody lost? She supposed that was just Kululu's way.

"You taste delicious. Ku." Kululu tried to flirt.

"Wanted to switch hands. It was hard to hold the cone." Angol Mois explained herself.

Oh? So she's going to let me do that again? Kululu was surprised. I wonder if Saburo's even still watching. Honestly for a second he didn't care. He'd tell Mois he was anyway.

He moved forward again to lick at her fingers. He liked the position a lot because he could look at her face and how embarrassed she was and how she wasn't trying to meet his eyes. How her gaze would only flicker over to his lips.

Eventually he moved over to the other fingers, opening his mouth to suck almost. When his mouth engulfed her fingers she opened her mouth for a moment.

Kululu wondered briefly if she was going to protest or give a small moan. She had managed to compose herself and silence herself a bit, but he thought it was probably a moan. She was breathing rather heavily.

He loved this. It was so fun to see Angol Mois like this. It was a pity she couldn't take it and had to stop.

She pulled her fingers gently out of Kululu's mouth and leaned down to him.

W-what's going on n-now? Kululu wondered. He noticed she had dropped her ice cream in her other hand. Was she mad.

Her eyes were wide and her face to close to him. If he wasn't so much of an idiot he would have probably realized that she was about to kiss him so that his lips could at least be doing something else. She probably wasn't thinking very much.

Maybe she was trying to help them both get Saburo to believe.

However he was focused to much on something entirely different. How she slowly moved closer and closer, and how her eyes were looking at him. Her bright, lovely, innocent eyes.

He didn't notice how they were slowly closing. He just noticed them, and that they were looking into his eyes meaningfully.

He felt her hand on his arm, pulling him even closer. He couldn't flee and get away.

But his eyes widened at the eye contact. He couldn't survive any longer or contain himself. This was too much.
"AHHHHH!" He screamed like a pathetic loser.

"Kululu?" Angol Mois pulled back. The scream was pretty loud and abrupt. She had thought they were trying to act like a couple, not...Like normal.

"P-please. Don't stare at me. D-don't..Don't do it...Y-you're m-making all the badness and bad thoughts go away. S-stop looking at me. Stop making me look at your eyes! Stop warping my thoughts!" Kululu screamed. "Stop staring! Please I'll do anything!"

"Kululu! It's all right!" She knew she should be shocked by this freak-out but really it was only average level of a Kululu freak out.

"I surrender. You're too cute! Just stop! I won't be a jerk! I cant do this plan! I couldn't survive! Can't pretend to be loving! I've realized it! I'm going to die if you look at me more!" Kululu realized.

Saburo just watched in utter shock. This...Is what he said was a fear? He was kind of confused when Kululu and Angol Mois were acting so romantic, but hey, whatever worked. Knew there had been some catch to it. Who knew they would fake it?

He didn't believe all the finger licking was fake. Kululu seemed to be just kind of making the best out of the situation.

He's totally just embarrassed. God it's so obvious he has a crush on her! Saburo couldn't believe how much of an idiot Kululu was.

As Kululu opened his mouth and his ghost came out as if he was dying and he collapsed on the ground twitching, Saburo watched.

This was a version of Kululu he had never seen. He had never seen Kululu vulnerable, frightened, timid and embarrassed. Who knew he got so frantic around a cute girl?

"Oh no Kululu! I'll take you to the paramedics! You'll survive! I know you will! And I will take care of you and nurse you back to health!" Angol Mois reassured, like the good friend she was.

"Just leave me. There's no saving my life. I don't think I'm willing to go through you nursing me back to health. Ku." Kululu begged weakly.

Angol Mois frowned. "We'll get you to the doctors immediately!" She took the situation way too seriously and picked Kululu up.

The two flew off.

"Wait! I'm not really dead!" Kululu reassured.

"Shhhh...That's not true. We'll fix you up." Angol Mois told him.

Saburo just watched. Kululu was such an idiot. His crush was so obvious, and he got very embarrassed about it. No wonder Kululu didn't want to accept it, it really hindered him and he just kind of fell into the lovesick fool stage like Giroro.

Gotta help my pal out. I'll get him his crush. Saburo decided.


He confronted Kululu later in Kululu's lab.

"I saw you freak out around Angol Mois." Saburo confessed. He knew Kululu knew he was there.

Kululu was silent. "Now you know why I hid it from you. It was embarrassing! I don't like people seeing me freak out. I'm not a pathetic terrified weakling-"

"You are in love." Saburo cut him off. "I mean it's so obvious that thing's a crush it would take an idiot not to know."

Kululu was silent. The way Saburo phrased it made it kind of sound like he was calling Kululu of all people an idiot. "Why do you say that? I mean, I'm pretty messed up. I really am afraid of her for being pure."

"If you were afraid of her truthfully you wouldn't want to hang around her, you wouldn't say she's cute, you wouldn't be attracted to her, and most importantly you wouldn't suck on her fingers or text me about how you were enjoying a blind date with her!" Saburo pointed out.

Kululu was silent. These were...all very fair points. "I'm a….Masochist?" He suggested. "I enjoy being attracted to something I'm terrified to?"

"I'm not denying that. But I'm pretty sure there are real feelings too. Like you have a crush on her. Why else would you be afraid of her making you 'pure' unless she made you feel the need to be overly nice to her or like you wanted to do good things around you. You got those butterflies in your stomach." Saburo accused.

Kululu's eyes widened and his glasses cracked. "N-no! No! Not at all! They're worms! Yes! Yes, maggots eating away my insides!"

"Bet your heart rate accelerates around her. And your face flushes and those nightmares are just good dreams you're too afraid to accept as good dreams-" Saburo trailed off.

"They're nightmares! Why would I of all people want to kiss Mois? And I just get feverish with fear and that's why the heart rate and the breathing and-" Kululu was panicking and making up the worst excuses imaginable.

Saburo just sighed. Yeah, that said it all. He just shook his head.

"S-stop looking at me like that. It's not like that. I'm not in denial. This is all true!" Kululu denied pathetically. "I want her gone. I want her to stop looking at me and being around me. So why would I have a crush on her?"

Saburo frowned. "Why did you act so sad when she was gone when you two were fighting then? I thought you wanted her around."

"W-well I do...For like work. And...It's complicated. You can want someone around constantly and not want them around at all!" Kululu defended.

No you can't. That's conflicting. Saburo frowned. "Why don't you tell her?" He asked again. He didn't see why Kululu just couldn't confess.

But Saburo already knew. It wasn't just Kululu's embarrassment and denial and confliction that was stopping him. He had just stated it after all. "You can want someone around constantly" He had admitted that he wanted Mois around constantly.

He was miserable when she wasn't around. He remembered that from their fight. Kululu hadn't been getting anything done was what the other Keroro platoon members had complained about. He needed Mois to keep him grounded. Focused.

He enjoyed her company so much. And he was afraid of losing that if he confessed because he thought she might be uncomfortable.

After all he had only fully started putting his foot down when Mois voiced that she wasn't comfortable about Saburo hooking them up. Saburo knew Kululu would probably be open to listening to him.

So then all this being against the idea of him and Mois hooking up was for Mois's sake.

He was too afraid to lose her over a risky gamble on feelings. And he knew she didn't feel the same for him since she was very vocal in her love for Keroro.

I'm sure...A part of him knows he's in love with Angol Mois. After all he's panicking and trying to keep it a secret. Also he's not an idiot. Saburo frowned. So then he doesn't want to make a move for her sake. He can't make a move because it risks hurting the relationship they already have.

He was already losing Saburo as a friend to distance. Saburo knew Kululu reacted poorly to losing people but wouldn't fight them on it in anyway. That's why he was doing this, so Kululu wouldn't lose someone.

But Kululu was already scared of losing Angol Mois.

"I...I understand, buddy." Saburo smiled and lied. "You totally don't have a crush on Angol Mois." He lied.

"Thank you." Kululu turned back to his work. Maybe if Saburo said it enough times both of them would believe it.

Kululu will never make the first move. Saburo realized as he walked out of the lab. So then I need to make Mois make the first move if they are to ever get together. Kululu's just too shy.

The problem lied fully with Mois. She didn't like Kululu yet. But he had to get her to fall in love with Kululu.

If he could get her to fall in love with Kululu and confess, Kululu would definitely date her. She was too cute to refuse and he did like her. So there would finally be some resolution to their relationship.

I got to get her to make the first move though! Saburo states the facts. And he walked off and left.

He had to go make Mois fall in love. It was Mois who was his opponent that he was dealing with now.
