Short Nine: Mur Mur's Couple's Counseling
Dr. Mur Mur was in for a busy day. She had several couples she was going to counsel today on their relationships and maybe figure out something that they had to fix or work on so that they got along better. The midget tapped her pen on her desk, looking over her files and scratching her head at the weirdos she'd be seeing today. She surveyed her office one more time, making sure all the photos and fake plants were in order before she let in her guests. She brushed off her white suit blazer and pencil skirt, getting all of the wrinkles out. Everything was good to go.
First up was First and Second.
"So, what's your damage?" Dr. Mur Mur asked, having the two teenagers sit down across from her desk. Yuno was smiling happily, trying to hold Yuki's hand, but he was resolutely keeping them in his lap.
"Well…you see…" Yuki started, fiddling with his hands in said lap. "Yuno's gotten…a little more clingy lately…since…"
"Oh, Yuki!~" Yuno cooed, smiling at her pookie and scooting her chair closer to snatch his had out of his lap and hold it in a death grip.
"Well…since forever, I guess." The boy just sighed and let the hand holding happen.
"I'm not clingy, sugar bear, I'm just protective!" Yuno smiled wider.
"See, I don't think you've got a problem." Dr. Mur Mur commented, watching the awkward couple and trying not to laugh. "You've got yourself a good woman who knows how to cook, can take care of you and is protective. So don't lose her!"
"But-!" Yuki started to protest but then Yuno jumped out of her seat and into his lap, throwing her arms around him and tipping the chair over in the process. They hit the floor in a heap of tangled limbs and Dr. Mur Mur just shook her head.
"No funny business down there, guys." She checked off the pair's visit and stored away their file. "NEXT!"
Ninth and Nishijima sat in front of Dr. Mur Mur next, considerably calmer than the last couple.
"So, what's up?" Dr. Mur Mur asked, brushing off her suit blazer.
"There's no problem." Minene scoffed, refusing to look at her husband.
"Uh huh." Dr. Mur Mur looked at the woman pointedly. "What's the low down, Nishijima?" Dr. Mur Mur leaned on her forearm, leveling her gaze with the cop.
"Well…Minene's been really angry lately and I don't know what will make her happy." The man replied, scratching his head. "I'd really like not to get blown up at every turn, even when I try to do something right."
Minene just huffed again, being about as friendly as a cactus.
"Ninth, I think you'd benefit from being a little more sensitive and or girly, since you're clearly not." Dr. Mur Mur suggested out of the blue.
"Yeah, I like to see you back in a dress once in a while!" Nishijima smiled, already thinking about what he could do to get Minene into one.
"No, no way!" She blushed, growling at the same time. Minene's Deus-looking had shed its human disguise and grabbed Nishijima around the throat, threatening to crush his windpipe. "Don't you even dare!" Nishijima just smiled nervously, holding his hands up in surrender.
"I see." Dr. Mur Mur clicked her pen. "So you're a masochist!" She pointed at the quailing Nishijima. Both adults looked at her in shock.
"How do you even know what that it?" They asked. Dr. Mur Mur raised an eyebrow at them. She hated being underestimated.
"NEXT!" Dr. Mur Mur shouted. "Oh, and by the way, she's pregnant." The midget pointed at Minene. "That might explain why her whacked out personality is even more whacked out."
"WHAT?!" The couple's chairs zoomed out of the room by themselves before anything else was said. The last look Dr. Mur Mur saw was the devastation on Minene's face and the absolute joy on Nishijima's.
"So, what are you two love birds in here for?" Dr. Mur Mur asked the two girls in front of her.
"My problem is her!" Hinata pointed angrily to the silver haired girl oogling her for the umpteenth time that day. Mao just giggled, kneeling on her chair sideways and resting her head and elbows on the armrest so she could watch her fetish better. Dr. Mur Mur looked the girls over again.
"Yeah, so? What's the problem?"
"She's driving me nuts!" Hinata shouted as Mao's hands shot out to grab her boobs. The brunette had to fend off her friend with a hand to the face, one to the hair and a foot to her stomach just to keep the girl off her.
"Still not seeing a problem." Dr. Mur Mur noted, checking off their visit.
"What?!" Hinata shrieked, not believing her ears.
"So, Mao…how's the waterproof phone working for ya?"
"It's perfect! So many boobies!" The silver-haired girl replied around the hand.
"You're the one who gave it to her?!" Hinata was about to blow a gasket. "I'm going to kill you, Mur Mur!"
"It's Dr. Mur Mur to you!" The midget huffed, snapping her fingers to open her office doors. "Have a nice day!" She motioned with her hand and the chairs moved on their own accord, escorting the two girls out as they struggled against each other.
"Waaaaiiiittttt!" Hinata yelled, still trying to get Mao off of her as the door snapped shut behind them.
"Aru, I've come to a conclusion." Mur Mur announced, still dressed in her blazer and pencil skirt, standing with her hands behind her back, floating by on her huge ball.
"And what would that be?" The Observer asked, looking up from his book as he floated by on his platform as well.
"Love is weird." She stated simply.
"Sure is."
