I Can't Stop... - An OK K.O. story

Freedom

We were finally free... The impostor was dead, and K.O. and I were seperate. I don't even know how to process any of this. It went from me not existing, to ruining the Plaza, K.O.'s house, and Boxmore, to being trapped in the subconcious, to- this. After everything that happened, and everything that went wrong, I was finally free...

K.O. seemed to notice my silence as he spoke. "T.K.O.? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, sorrey. Just- drifted off into my thoughts, no big deal."

He still seemed worried for me, but his expression changed when he noticed how happy Dendy seemed that her plan to save us worked.

I couldn't hold back a smile as the two of them did a small celebration. Looking back at the void puddle, I saw it'd disappeared, strangely enough.

"Hey- Where'd that void puddle go?"

The other two noticed as well. Dendy speaking up about it, "It is possible that without a host, the demon simply can't exist. Or perhaps it left."

That gave me an uneasy feeling, like maybe, we weren't quite done with this yet... "You really think it'd just leave us alone after that? If it isn't dead, at least-"

K.O. bounded up to me, hopeful. "I'm sure it's gone and dealt with. You punched a hole through it, T!"

"Don't call me 'T'..."

"What about Turbo?"

"It's just T.K.O.... Don't give me some stupid nickname."

K.O. gave me a disappointed look as his gaze fell to the floor. "Aww..."

I sighed, realizing that if anyone gave me a nickname, it'd have to be him. "Fine. You can call me Turbo...."

He suddenly perked up again, hugging me. "Yaay! Turbee!"

I muttered, "Not what I said..." but he hardly noticed.

It was maybe a couple weeks before I was fully adapted to being my own person constantly, now having at least two friends, K.O. and Dendy. Enid and Rad are still unsure of me- Mom was both concerned, but also happy to now have two sons, and Dad seemed a little too eager to hang out with me...
I'm hoping nothing particularly bad happens, it probably will, but it's best to try to stay positive. Everyone certainly noticed the change in my personality, since they'd hardly seen many interactions since after K.O. freed me from his subconsious.

I was sitting by the base of the tree right by Gar's Bodega, staring into the sky, just watching the clouds. I felt content and peaceful. I heard the clicks and bell to the small shop as the door opened. It was K.O. He sat beside me and leaned on me.

"Whatcha doin'?" He softly asked.

"Just watching the clouds, enjoying the sun. Stuff-"

It seemed like he wanted to cuddle, as he shuffled for a moment before I felt his arms wrapped around me in a hug. I smiled, hugging him back for a moment before-

"Hey, K.O,?"

"Hm?"

"Do you ever wonder what might've happened if you never freed me from ypur subconsious?"

He paused, obviously scared to answer. "I don't know..."

I thought for a minute before responding, "I don't know either. But I'm glad I'm truely free now. Free to be my own person, ya know?"

"Yeah!" He half jumped up. "You get to be who you wanna be without having to force anything on me!" Sounded a little off, but I knew exactly what he meant.

"Yeah. I don't have to control anyone to be me now. Funny how I onoy now realize how difficult it was for me in your mind now that I'm not trapped there." I chuckled a little as I heard his nevous laugh. "Hey, don't worry. I can't blame you. I wasn't even supposed to exist. I guess things worked out though, huh?"

"Yeah." I could see his smile return as he answered.

The two of us sat there, looking up at the beautiful sky, wondering what big thing might just happen next.
