Do You Love Mii? ~ Eteled x Reader

First Mii-ting

"What, are you thinking of deleting me?"

Those words shot out of the speakers in a voice deeper than you could have ever imagined. You dropped your remote on the bed beside you, you were seriously not expecting that. And you would have thought that it was just your imagination if it weren't for little Eteled's face and body language. His arms crossed and his face held the qualities of somebody expecting their worst fears to come to fruition. It was so life-like for such a cartoonish face. Nobody ever told you about Miis doing this. "Was that you?" You stupidly asked with your eyes plastered on the screen, but it came out so quietly that you didn't expect whatever it was to pick up on it.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you were. Everyone ends up doing it anyway."

The Mii spat coldly, averting his gaze from the camera. So it was Eteled's voice. You just didn't know what was going on, was this even supposed to happen? Maybe it was some sort of feature that was meant to be here and your peers didn't bother to mention it. A few seconds had passed before you mustered a response to Eteled's question, you didn't want to spend your night sitting there staring at the TV with your jaw wide open. "What? No! I was just gonna buzz off, leave you alone and make my own Mii! Deleting someone's Mii would be disrespectful as hell." You reasoned with him with your own exact thoughts- was it a good move to refer to him as "someone's Mii"?

More silence filled the air between you two for a few more moments before Eteled spoke again, his hurt expression softened as he desperately wanted to believe that this time might be different. That he wouldn't be hurt. His shoulders tensed as he looked back at the camera.

"...Okay, then? I believe you."

His words were laced with caution. You sighed and fumbled for your Wii remote. "I'm... gonna go make my Mii. And NOT delete you. See where my hand thingy's going? Away from you, and over to..." You pointed the cursor around, searching for your destination before you finally landed on it. "The Mii Maker." Eteled nodded in understanding and you went on to create your look-alike.

-

Satisfied with your creation, you brought it into this world and watched as it plopped down into the Mii Plaza, swiftly getting to its feet and greeting the camera with a hearty wave. You moved the cursor down to click on them, and your name displayed above their head. Eteled looked at the new addition to the plaza, placing a ball hand up to his own chin.

"So... Y/N, huh?"

He asked looking back up at the camera. You folded your arms and replied, "Yep, that's me. What about it?"

"Oh, nothing. I just think it's unique. It's not every day I meet someone named, well, that."

You chuckled. "So's Eteled. Isn't that 'Delete' spelled backwards?"

"You're not the first to figure that out."

His smile spread from ear-to-ear, figuratively. You found yourself doing the same just for your intrusive thoughts to come and ruin the fun. You were talking to a fictional character as if it were a real person and you knew a few people who would make fun of you for that. But... you didn't have anyone in your apartment to tell you what you could and couldn't do, as far as you were concerned your roommate was out doing something with their other friends. As you sat there debating whether you should keep doing this, Eteled's voice broke your train of thought.

"Look, Y/N? I'm..."

The Mii sighed as your own mini character gazed at him curiously like a puppy.

"I'm sorry. For what I said, thinking you were gonna delete me. I don't do well when faced with that possibility."

What? You blinked, leaning forward and looking at Eteled with just as much curiosity as your Mii did. "Dude, don't sweat it! Why're you so weird about being deleted?" You asked, eliciting a nervous hum from Eteled in response. Oops, was this a touchy subject for him? You switched it up. "Actually, don't answer that. Look, I know we got off to sort of a rocky start? But I don't think it's too late to turn things around. How about we play- fuck, what's it called... Wii Sports? I think that's a Mii game." Eteled perked up. Looks like he liked the sound of that.

"That'd be nice. Go back to the HOME screen, go to the Wii Sports channel, and I'll be waiting for you in there. Does that sound good?"

"Hell yeah, let's go! I gotta go get snacks though so I might take a second. Anyway, see you there!" You replied, giving the Mii a wave to which he returned the gesture before you exited the Mii Channel. Wait, did he just mimic your movement? Can he... see you?
