[casimir-the-mass]

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

Ugh…why did I fall asleep on the flooor…

[He groaned, taking the bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass.]

[It made a pop up in return.]

[Only as Yandere.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑜 '𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙' 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑜?]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[mimicry-virus]

[She nervously laughed, her face turning red as she pulled on her collar]

Oh-! I'm good..

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡.. 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑠.]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

I have no clue what you're talking about!

[She said, turning around and crossing her arms as if offended by the mere idea]

[casimir-the-mass]

[He spun her around, backing her against the wall.]

[She murmured, turning to leave, seeing Mimi and.. Whoever that is.]

YOU.

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin turned to face Louve and Mimi, his vinyl turning a blood red.]

Oh…hello…~!

[He said, giggling.]

Shit-

[Louve cursed, making it for the door but Vin locked it with a snap.]

Ohhhh….I got new toys~? How funnnn~!

[Rubee looked at him with a very conflicted look before grabbing him by the tie and tugging on it roughly]

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

Ugh…why did I fall asleep on the flooor…

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[mimicry-virus]

Oh-! I'm good..

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[casimir-the-mass]

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

Ugh…why did I fall asleep on the flooor…

[He groaned, taking the bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass.]

[It made a pop up in return.]

[Only as Yandere.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑜 '𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙' 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑜?]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[mimicry-virus]

[She nervously laughed, her face turning red as she pulled on her collar]

Oh-! I'm good..

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡.. 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑠.]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

I have no clue what you're talking about!

[She said, turning around and crossing her arms as if offended by the mere idea]

[casimir-the-mass]

[He spun her around, backing her against the wall.]

[She murmured, turning to leave, seeing Mimi and.. Whoever that is.]

YOU.

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin turned to face Louve and Mimi, his vinyl turning a blood red.]

Oh…hello…~!

[He said, giggling.]

Shit-

[Louve cursed, making it for the door but Vin locked it with a snap.]

Ohhhh….I got new toys~? How funnnn~!

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

Oh-! I'm good..

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[casimir-the-mass]

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

Ugh…why did I fall asleep on the flooor…

[He groaned, taking the bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass.]

[It made a pop up in return.]

[Only as Yandere.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑜 '𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙' 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑜?]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[mimicry-virus]

[She nervously laughed, her face turning red as she pulled on her collar]

Oh-! I'm good..

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡.. 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑠.]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

I have no clue what you're talking about!

[She said, turning around and crossing her arms as if offended by the mere idea]

[casimir-the-mass]

[He spun her around, backing her against the wall.]

(She stammered, blushing)

Ouhh if this keeps happening I'm gonna die of flustardness.. Maybe I need to take a breather...

[She murmured, turning to leave, seeing Mimi and.. Whoever that is.]

YOU.

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin turned to face Louve and Mimi, his vinyl turning a blood red.]

Oh…hello…~!

[He said, giggling.]

Shit-

[Louve cursed, making it for the door but Vin locked it with a snap.]

Ohhhh….I got new toys~? How funnnn~!

[mimicry-virus]

[Rubee looked at him with a very conflicted look before grabbing him by the tie and tugging on it roughly]

[Vin said, grabbing Louve by each side of it’s head with both hands.]

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

Ugh…why did I fall asleep on the flooor…

[It made a pop up in return.]

[Only as Yandere.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑜 '𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙' 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑜?]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[mimicry-virus]

[She nervously laughed, her face turning red as she pulled on her collar]

Oh-! I'm good..

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡.. 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑠.]

[casimir-the-mass]

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

I have no clue what you're talking about!

[She said, turning around and crossing her arms as if offended by the mere idea]

[casimir-the-mass]

[It moved to a bottle of wine on one of the tables, taking some of its red liquid and squeezing it into the bottle.]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

Ugh…why did I fall asleep on the flooor…

[It made a pop up in return.]

[Only as Yandere.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[mimicry-virus]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[She said with all too much sureness, as if this had happened once, maybe even twice?]

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[mimicry-virus]

[She nervously laughed, her face turning red as she pulled on her collar]

Oh-! I'm good..

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

I sometimes mess with people. These two specifically are my favorite.

[It said, giggling as Vin walked out, yawning. Louve grabbed Mimi and ran to hide as Vin looked around, rubbing his vinyl.]

[Vin shrugged, downing the glass quickly.]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

[𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒-?]

[She watched for a hot second, confused, before suddenly getting the hint]

Oh for fucks sake.

[casimir-the-mass]

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?

[mimicry-virus]

I guess.

[He said, when that familiar sensation hit his chest. His hand flew to his chest as the middle of his vinyl started turning red again.]

Fuck, not again…

[He grumbled, trying to make himself throw up, but he was too tired from just waking up.]

[Louve snickered.]

Oh for fucks sake.

[yeah, trust me, I don’t either.]

[Vin grumbled, smacking himself in the face.]

Alright, it’s fine! I can fight it, just a little bit of it, right!?

[He looked at her, and it was obvious he was not able to fight off a VIRUS on his own. His body swayed side to side as his vinyl turned that red color again.]

It’s fine…it’s…oh wow, everything’s spinning…

[He shook his head, holding the table for support, but his hand slipped and he fell hard on the ground.]

[Louve raised a brow, curious of how Vin had managed to stay in control this long.]

[mimicry-virus]

Dude, clearly fighting it isn't helping! It's fine, it'll get bored and leave.

[Vin didn’t respond for a minute or two before slowly standing, his posture relaxed.]

…Oh, it’s not gonna this time…

[He said, looking at Rubee, then at the wine bottle, then back at Rubee.]

I wonder if there’s more of the virus in the wine, I wanna play with your possessive side…~

[Vin used to be alone for 5-6 years so it’s fun messing with him. Also Rubee likes it when Vin is aggressive with her so :D]

[Louve cringed.]

[yeah, I’m not gonna watch these two make out for fifteen minutes. Be right back.]

[It turned into a little ball and scampered to the wine bottle, taking it and scampering over to a sink, dumping it down the drain.]

[Vin was grinning down at Rubee, just looking at her.]

Awww, are you already flustered, honey…~?
