Affogato trying to somehow get you to the earthbread?
Self Aware Au, Affogato x Reader.
Another day passed just meant more time yearning for you. Affogato stared at the sky as it went dark, signifying his lovely Fortuna has turned in for the night. Things just felt ever so stressful now that Clotted Cream Cookie was here! He was ruining everything! The fool didn’t heed his warning and he hasn’t found the right time to make him suffer for it!
He so desperately wanted to keep Clotted Cream out of your sight, he knew that brat was trying to win you over!
He had to do something, he had to stop this! But what can be done? It’s not like he can just pull you into their world…wait… Actually, yes, yes that’ll do just nicely~.
He’ll bring you here! And keep you away from that dastardly Clotted Cream, he’ll keep you away from ALL these unworthy cookies. He loves you ever so much, NO ONE can love his dear Fortuna like he can. Therefore, no other cookie DESERVES to be in your presence, simple logic~. ESPECIALLY Clotted Cream, he’ll ensure the Consul never sees you again!
All night he was up going to and fro with an odd project.
This automatically caught the suspicions of certain cookies who tried to follow the snake only to lose him among the buildings. He can’t let anyone stop him; this is a SACRED ritual that must be completed no matter the cost! He was gathering herbs, incense, preparing the glyphs. Clotted Cream Cookie had become particularly talented at following him around. Such skill led to Affogato becoming even more tricky and cunning to avoid him.
“What…where did he go this time?”
Affogato merely grinned from his hiding spot as Clotted Cream lost sight of him. Finally, that Crème Republic brat had been on his tail for a while and he was this close to just starting a fight. He sighed happily as he got to his secret little ritual room dedicated to you. All the glyphs were prepared, the candles, the incense, everything was ready! Now he just need to tell you the wonderful news!
He was giddy as he felt himself willed to the upgrade building, it was just you and him now. He stared at the wood and saw you glitch into his vision, clearly from the look on your face you were expecting him to speak. Well, he’ll meet the expectation~.
“Hello again my dear, I have some truly exciting news!”
“You see, I’ve prepared a special ritual that’ll bring you into our world! Finally, we can be together just as we should have from the beginning Fortuna!” He said with such joy, but his smile fell a bit when he saw the look on your face.
He spoke this time without prompt.
“Don’t give me that look, this is a good thing! Don’t you see? You’ll be somewhere much better, so bright and lovely, it’s much better here~….Fortuna-!”
You disappeared from view and he was forced to leave the room. You…didn’t want to come? Why? He put in all this effort and you didn’t want to come? He listened to your own complaints about your world, that wouldn’t happen here he would make you happy! He would…
“Ah Affogato Cookie, what’s that look for you seem quite upset my friend~.” That voice…
Affogato sharply turned to face Clotted Cream, the young Consul smiling almost smugly. Affogato’s grip on his staff increased dramatically as utter rage filled him at this audacity. Struggling to keep his breathing calm he continued on without another word, he didn’t want to even glimpse at Clotted Cream Cookie let alone here his voice. But the cheeky sack of sugar spoke again anyway.
“Hmm, by the looks of it, seems a certain conversation didn’t go the way you wanted it to. Does it have to do with whatever you’ve been planning?” Affogato remained silent. “Sneaking around at night and quickly disappearing with items that aren’t yours. Actively avoiding me, just what have you been doing~? Hm, seems it doesn’t matter now as whatever you’ve planned hasn’t gone accordingly. You don’t seem to have the Baker’s favor, do you?”
Before Clotted Cream could react Affogato attacked him, a sphere of cursed energy surrounding his form as he instantly felt sick. The consul fell to a knee as the poison effect took over but he was just as quickly thrown to the ground by Affogato, who pointed the end of his staff dangerously close to his neck.
“Silence! Shut. Your. PATHETIC. Mouth. This. INSTANT!” He snarled out in utter rage.
Normally he would have never been this forward but Affogato just couldn’t control himself. The audacity of this brat!
“How DARE you say such lies to me! I warned you, didn’t I?! Now I’ve had enough of you, all obstacles that stand in my way shall be eliminated no matter the cost!” He yelled, raising the staff and bringing it down.
Clotted cream used his coat ribbons quickly, twisting and turning around the staff in a tight grip to protect himself. It was a struggle to hold Affogato back who was just as desperately forcing it down to impale him. Luck however was on the consul’s side as an arrow shot the staff out of the enraged cookie’s hands.
“Affogato! Step back at once you snake!” Caramel arrow commanded; another arrow drawn in preparation if he dared refuse.
“Always stepping into business that doesn’t concern you…” He growled with grit teeth, relinquishing and stepping away.
Caramel arrow rushed over and helped Clotted Cream to his feet, standing between him and Affogato ready to fight. The Consul wobbled a bit but the poison effect will soon end.
“You’ve crossed the line once again you traitor! This has gone far enough, first you once again begin your scheming in this kingdom and then you go ahead and attempt to assassinate another! I WILL be informing everyone of this, you must be punished before your treachery reaches the Baker!” She continued.
Affogato said not a word, he simply glared daggers at the watcher. If looks could kill, she would’ve dropped dead that second.
He walked a few meters away, grabbed his staff off the ground and left in silence. Her threat didn’t matter to him, it wouldn’t matter once he got his dear Fortuna in their world. He’d take you away from this kingdom, far away where no one would ever find you. Keep you all to himself, you’ll be so happy he’ll take the best of care for you! Only the finest just for you!
His usual grin returned to his face as he returned to his ritual room. A slight glitch of his hand proving he was now fully prepared to bring you here~.
You laid fast asleep, you had no dreams however, your sleeping mind was blank and dark…until glitching filled your vision. Your body began to feel strange.
Who…who was that…Affogato? Wait!
You sat bolt upright with a gasp; you were no longer in your home. No, instead you sat on ritual glyph as the candles around you glowed bright, looking up you saw what you feared…
Affogato stood in front of you with the biggest smile you’d ever seen on him.
“Welcome home…my dear Fortuna~.”
