A very silly gift for a very special person’s very special day <3 Happy birthday Tomo! Hope your day is as wonderful as you are!
The Just-Nots are trying to figure out the newest challenge two had assigned but, pillow has run off again. After the last time, it's obvious that she needed to be found as soon as possible. Book offers to go while the others try to work out their challenge but things end up going much sillier than book would have hoped for.
Day 2: accidental
“Uh guys- where did Pillow go?”
The group stopped, practically dropping everything as they swiveled in every direction, but Pillow was nowhere to be found. Even before leaving the Death Pact she had acted.. Strange. Everyone knew about pillow’s chaotic behavior, heck, she was roped into it so many times she had practically lost count. Sure, she was a victim to a more different kind of chaos, but it was still chaos all the same. With a sigh, dictionary volunteered to run off to find her while the others worked out the challenge. She made sure to make it clear she'd help as much as she could once Pillow was back in eyesight. Not really having the time to argue, the rest of the Just Nots nodded, letting the book run off on her own. Book dried desperately to find the girl, she really did, but it just seemed like she vanished without a trace. Tired from all the running around, the dictionary fell onto her face, resting for just a second to catch her breath. As she laid there, not even completely sure where she was, she could hear bickering, something completely normal around her. The yellow grass rustled as footsteps closed in on her, a familiar voice making her perk up, now sitting straight so that she could look at Pillow properly.
“Hey!”
“Pillow! Where did you go?! You can't just wander off- especially what happened last time!”
“I was just talking to a different team.” she replied a little too calmly before sitting behind the book, resting her hands on the top of her covers. “Can I look at your pictures?”
Dictionary noticeably jumped, but went on with her speech anyway.
“T-There was no way you were just t- talkING?! What is your obsession with my pictures?!”
Pillow had opened her up as she berated her, carefulling flipping through her pages while she examined each colorful illustration. It was the quick interruption in her scolding that got her attention. She really had not intended to start this silly game, but Book’s reaction had caught her attent. Slowly, without Book noticing, Pillow’s expression lifted from a numb smile to a mischievous smirk. One hand lifted off her front cover, hovering over a picture of a flower that rested towards the lower side of the page on the left.
“They're pretty. Especially this one.” slowly, her pointer descended across the page, fingertips gently tracing around it. The dictionary yelped, embarrassingly loudly before she tried turning over to face the other girl.
“Pillow! Stohahp-”
“Whoops. I forgot you were ticklish.” she said blandly, continuing her actions with no intent in stopping. Book had grabbed onto her ankles, trying to control the endorphin rush that ran through her spine.
“No you didnt! Y-youre doing this on purpuhuhuhHACK Nonononononononono- not the spIHIHINE-!
Pillow had quickly grown tired of reading and decided to go straight for the kill. Why start something and not do it right? One hand ran up and down the crease that bounded the cover and pages together while the other gently dug at the back cover. Dictionary was in shambles, kicking out her legs and swatting her hands violently, both an attempt to calm the butterflies in the pit of her stomach and to try to grab the offending hand on her cover. Nothing seemed to deter Pillow, however. Everything she did she just encouraged her. As her fingers ventured deeper into her binding, Book screamed, kicking so hard she fell back into pillow’s lap, accidentally nicking her knee during the tumble. The sensations stopped suddenly, fingers disappearing from within her spine. Book was giggling too hard to think right. Her hands rested tiredly against her chest in a “T-rex” like pose, her eyes squeezed shut as she tried to make sense of the thoughts fussing her brain. Seemingly from far away, however. She could hear Pillow speak.
‘You kicked me. That wasn't very nice.’ book’s eyes sprang open at the feeling of fingers around her ankle, pulling it so it now lay on her own thigh. In a panic, Book tried to explain it was just an accident, but her pleading melted into squeaky, hiccups giggles as Pillow’s hand scratched roughly at the back of her knee, her free hand going straight for the outer part of her spine. Cackling, Book fell back into the girl’s lap, clutching at the grass beneath them in a desperate attempt to ground herself. For what felt like hours, fingers skittered over every part of her body; soft lips across her palms, scratching nails in the inner side of her knees, pinching across her spine, whatever it was, it was unbearable. Within minutes, tears had stained her cheeks and the grass that was within her grasp was torn to shreds. From beneath her soul shaking laughter she could hear voices talking distinctly. With a final squeeze, causing the poor girl to snort, the fingers disappeared. Book could hardly stand, let alone sit up. From beside her, she could hear one of her other teammates talking, hearing the clear smile in their voice.
“Well.. I see you found Pillow. Once you catch your breath though, you should probably join us. We have twenty minutes left to complete the challenge.” grass rustled gently, signaling their departure. Book attempted to hide her face in her hands, but a finger poked her in the side, making her squeak.
“Heh. sorry. I just wanted to make sure you didn't fall asleep.”
She’d get pillow back. Someday…
Gah- i've never written for these two before haha- I hope I did them justice!
