Lies Of Regret: A Regretevator Fanfiction

Bug Off! (Pest/Poob)

btw each chapter will usually focus on two characters at a time, hence the chapter title. also remember that thing of ~800 words? yeah I'm doing more. More. (at 2337 words: I am not okay. If you like seeing people suffer after doing bad stuff to character you like, good. You will be satisfied :D hehehe)

Poob had thrown a party, as usual. But this one was BIG, with lots of activities and lasted 5 pm till midnight, so of course, he was tired. But he had also brought Pest along. (Against Pest will and complaints) After the party was over, Poob decided to chill in the regretevator for a while, with Pest, obviously. Poob stood in the back right corner, with Pest in the back left. About 4 players were in, despite how late it was. Occasionally, they would smack Poob or spray Pest with water, in which he responded by stealing their coins.

It didn't take long for the subway floor to appear, and Poob dragged Pest out of the regretevator and sat down on the bench, while Pest followed suit. It was only until two seconds after Poob sat down the exhaustion hit him like a train. His eyes began trying to drift close, but he was determined to stay awake. However, his efforts were alas in vain, as his body relaxed and his eyes closed. Their head leaned over to the side, resting on Pest shoulder. Pest, annoyed, looked over and was about to say something when he realized Poob was asleep. Pest could feel his face heat up a bit, and he wasn't sure if it was because he was too tired or because of Poob.

"彼はとても迷惑だ...。私が何かできるわけじゃないけど." ("He's so annoying... Not like I can do anything about it, though.") Pest mumbled to himself, quietly so Poob didn't awaken. Pest glared up at the screen which predicted the train's arrival, noticing it said the train was expected to be a few minutes late. Goddammit. As much as Pest wanted to push Poob off and scold him, he didn't, he just sighed and stared ahead, keeping himself awake more effectively than Poob had done. After a few more minutes had past, Poob had woken up on his own, sitting upright before realizing that he fell asleep on Pest shoulder.

Poob felt a little embarrassed, but Pest didn't point it out at all and kept looking ahead as if nothing had happened, much to ease Poob. Poob noticed how Pest didn't as much look over to see if Poob was okay, and was instead staring ahead into space. But Poob wanted attention from Pest. He poked Pest shoulder. And again. About several times with varying degrees of gentle force. Pest didn't look at Poob, but it was clear that Poob was annoying him. Noticing this, Poob smiled. He knew it was bad to be so entertained at Pest's annoyance, but he couldn't help it. He poked Pest twice more, only getting Pest to look at him the second time.

Pest turned his head and bit Poob's finger. Gently, as not to cause bleeding, but enough to cause a bit of pain strong enough to make Poob recoil. "Owwwwww!! Pesty!! Dat was mean!!" 🪲: "You should have known better than to annoy me, もしあなたが私の「友人」だと思うなら." ("if you consider yourself my 'friend') Pest stated. Poob held his bitten finger as if it was the most precious thing in the world, and cradled it until the pain subsided. Pest returned to looking ahead and ignoring Poob, to their dismay. Poob pouted, but didn't let that bother them, however, as they instead used their other hand to poke Pest's shoulder.

This was the last straw. Pest turned to face Poob and... Used his palps to grab Poob's purple party hat right off his head. "Alright, you've lost your hat privilege." Pest lifted the hat out of Poob's reach as they struggled to get it back. 🥳: "Heyy!!!! Give it back! Dat's my favorite hat!!" Poob's attempts to retrieve his hat all ended up in vain, as Pest gave off a small smirk of pride. Pest watched as Poob tried over and over to grab the hat, thinking to himself. 'こうやってポツンとしてるとき、彼はとてもかわいい......' (He's so cute when he's pouting like this...) After at least 9 failed attempts, Poob gave up and crossed his arms as an idea instead crossed his mind.
