This is based on a quote from buzzfeed unsolved. âYou didnât solve shitâ
Moric stared at the horrific scene in front of him with wide eyes. Who could do such a thing? Certainly not one of the other fusions, they all knew better. The longer he looked at the disturbing red smears the more he panicked, thinking of all the different possibilities. Progic, still mostly asleep stumbled into the kitchen, or tried to, but ran into Moric.
âHoney? Whatâs wrong?â The shorter fusion said nothing, only pointing a shaking finger towards the counter.
Progic was a scientist, logical, passionate, and creative, and yet even he found himself tensing in shock. âWHO WOULD DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING?!â
The shouting brought an overprotective dragon prince scrambling down the hall, clearly awoken from his beauty rest, and the skittering feet of Vircei and Creaity following after him. Progic moved forward to inspect the remains, feeling like he could dramatically swoon at the sight, thatâs how awful it was.
âWHATâS WRONG?! WHOâS HURT!? DO I HAVE TO SET SOME ONE ON FIRE!?â Anvity screeched, eyes scanning the room for danger and a growl building in the back of his throat.
âDonât worry, Progic, weâll save you,â Creaity agreed, tail lashing and also scanning the room.
âA terrible crime has been committed. Just look!â Moric replied, having flopped down into a kitchen chair. The sounds of the others coming into the room could be heard but he didnât look up.
âCrime?â Decan asked, sounding entirely too excited.
âSOME ONE ATE ALL THE CROFTERS AND PUT THE EMPTY JAR BACK IN THE CABINET. THEY DIDNâT EVEN RECYCLE IT. WHAT MONSTER WOULD DO SUCH A THING!?â
And that was definitely the Creative Side of Progic, because the only one who could pull of that level of over dramatic was Creativity.
The others blinked slowly, looking to each other hoping one of them would confess. No one said anything.
âTHATâS WHY I WAS AWOKEN! A JAM!â Anvity snarled, very offended that he had gotten out of bed, prepared to defend his hoard, to be told it was all for a jar of fruit preserve. With a haughty sigh he turned on his heel and left, intent on returning to his beauty rest.
Vircei looked between him and the two upset fusions in the kitchen before ultimately deciding heâd prefer to be away from all the noise and back into the warm and cuddly embrace of the prince and scampered off after him.
âWait, thatâs it? No robbery, murder, nothinâ?!â Decan was also upset. Heâd been itching to solve a good mystery.
âOh my God.â Viran whispered from beside Decan, sounding like he was disconnected from reality.
âThe-the CroftersâŠ.IâŠ.what the fuck even is life without Crofters?â The others, bored of the shenanigans occurring in the kitchen wandered back to bed, and Decan would have too. Except, well this was important to his Doll.
âAlrighâ, listen up Doll. You anâ me, weâre some of the best wise headâs I know. So, why donâ you anâ me investigate? Weâll figure out who nicked the Crofters.â
Viran perked up. âYeah we are pretty smart. Progic, you wantâŠâ the fusion is question was still over dramatically bemoaning the lost of his fruit spread. Moric, who had been more upset over the mess left behind, he needed to go shopping anyway, had moved on to sadly cleaning up the kitchen.
âWait! Thatâs evidence!â The two fusions promptly shooed the parental units of the house out to begin gathering clues.
Their findings led them to question all Logic based fusions first, even Progic and Moric. Of all the things the Sides had in common throughout all the dimensions, the logical sides love of the delicious jelly was one of the weirder ones. Viran even allowed Decan to submit him to questioning, especially since heâd on occasion sleep snacked. The interrogation was more flirting than anything, but they determined that no, Viran hadnât helped himself to a midnight snack.
âWhy on earth would I leave such a mess? Iâm the one who has to clean that.â Moric giggled.
Progic had made offended noises and flailed about, so Moric stepped in to assure the two that heâd had the scientist preoccupied the night before.
Decan lost the coin toss and ended up being the unlucky soul who had to reawaken the prince to question him. âIt certainly was not me! How dare you even suggest such a thing! Now remove yourself from my presence before I remove you!â Vircei was no help, too busy shaking with silent laughter at the fit Anvity was pitching.
âSo we have no leads, no clues, and no suspects.â
âWell, this coulda gone betta,â Decan huffed.
Viran giggled at the otherâs pout and pressed a kiss to his scaled cheek. âWell, we gave it aâŠâŠDecan?â
âWhat the fuck is on your cheek?â
âMyâŠscalesâŠâŠ? Ow! Doll!â  Decan tried to squirm away from the other, but the conspirator had the advantage of height and an extra set of arms. He was furiously scrubbing at the otherâs cheek with a napkin until he seemed satisfied that he got whatever substance it was off.
âOh my God, Decan, itâs jelly. Youâre all sticky and everything!â
âWhaâ!? I didnââŠ..OhâŠ.hehâŠ.actually yeah. I uhâŠ.I sorta woke up at like a really early hour and was hungryâŠI thought I dreamt that.â He muttered nervously. It happened on very rare occasion that heâd wake up randomly, often narrating his own dreams or just mumbling to himself about cliche film noir plots.
Viran would sit and watch, trying to stifle his giggles if he was around when it happened and gently talk the other into going back to sleep. It was cute and he couldnât really judge given his occasional nightly strolls.
âI havenât decided it if I wanna bump you off yet or not.â
âHehâŠ.I love you, DollâŠ.WAIT! IâŠwe solved it! Case closed, mystery solved.â
âYou didnât solve shit. You did eat my Crofters though. I forgive you, but you have to come with me next time I go out ghost hunting. You can carry my equipment.â
Decan wanted to protest that, but with his Doll snuggled against him, still pouting cutely, he figured it was worth it. âCoulda jusâ asked. Iâm dizzy for ya, Doll.â
Viran snorted, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips. âSap.â
