Joyous Critters (Smiling Critter's Oneshots)

Anger Issues 💧

(Kicken's POV)

Me and Neko were playing some games, and we started getting a bit bored, but then Neko asked me a question.

"Y'know, I got some games of my own we can play." Neko suggested as I just laid back and nodded.

Neko quickly dashed forward and switched out the game we were playing, with... Super Smash Brothers?

"Hey, I've heard of this one! Never got to play it though..." I exclaimed as Neko sat back down, but quickly looking down, he was checking his phone.

He sat in silence for a while, I looked under him and saw that he looked terrified, yet extremely depressed.

Before I could do anything, a tear fell from his face as he looked up slowly, and I immediately became concerned.

"Neko? What's wrong?" I asked as he continued looking in front of him intently.

"Akira Toriyama just died..." Neko said softly, putting his hands in front of his face, contemplating everything.

"W- Who's that?" I asked as Neko continued looking straight ahead mindlessly.

"The creator of Dragon Ball Z." Neko mumbled, I have heard of that before, but for all I know, it's a cartoon about people who fight, so I don't really understand.

I let Neko sit in silence before he cleared his throat, acting as if nothing had happened, and with that, I spoke.

"D- Do you still want to play the game...? Or..." I asked softly.

"Yeah, sure." Neko said as we both started playing again, like nothing happened just a couple seconds ago.

A couple hours later

"Wow, for a new player, you're actually kind of good at this!" Neko exclaimed as so far, both of us were tied, one last ring out was all we had for ourselves, whoever died next lost the game.

"You're going down, Neko!" I mumbled to myself as Neko leaned forward a bit as we continued our fight in the air.

"Nice try, but I'm not going dow-" Neko tried taunting me, but I somehow managed to hit him with a stray attack, that to be honest, did not look like it hit him whatsoever.

Neko sat in silence as the game ended, I had won due to a bug, and I could tell that Neko was uh... Definitely disappointed.

"Excuse me for a moment." Neko said softly as he walked outside calmly, walking towards the outer fields.

I watched through the window as he stopped next to a tree and turned slightly, raising his fist to his hip.

He knocked on it with extreme swiftness, at first, it didn't even look like he did anything, and I was wondering what was going on.

But the next second, the tree was launched backwards into the nearby forest as Neko laughed maniacally, running back to the house.

I panicked and scrambled to sit back down as Neko walked back into the house as softly as possible.

"Alright I think I should be fine now... Anger issues are a real thing y'know?" Neko said as he smiled softly, and I just laughed it off.

A couple minutes later

Neko and I were once again on the brink of death as I ONCE AGAIN hit him with a stray attack, sending him off screen, and again, winning by luck, and glitches.

Neko slowly looked towards me as he smiled to himself, but he didn't look mad, yet he was glowing, so I was weighing my outcomes.

"...Y- You wanna do something else?-" I asked softly.

"I'LL END YOU!!!-"
