"So I was thinking, would you like to stay with me for a little bit?" said Pluto while stroking Kiara's braids
"I don't want to be a nuisance" she sniffled
"No no, you've never been a nuisance, last time we just had to go early because you had to study. This time you can stay for as long as you'd like" he reassured her.
She just nodded while caressing his thumb. She was in a very vulnerable state because even though she has been left on read many times and ghosted she still hadn't gotten used to it, especially since she had felt that she had created a connection with Aaron pretty fast. Sadly he ended up being like the rest.
"Are you ready? Is there anything you wanna take with you?" She looked around and grabbed her bottle of wine.
"Ok I'm ready" she said
Pluto snapped his fingers and she disappeared into his mind like the last time. He summoned the portal and then he himself turned into a mist and had the portal suck him in.
The room trembled, and finally the ceiling cracked open. Luckily this time he managed to aim for his bed. The mattress softened his fall. Once he was back in the right mindset he snapped her back into reality. She fell right onto his lap and held her close.
"Are you ok baby" he said softly
"baby?" She laughed nervously
"Oh! I'm sorry, I just call my friends that's sometimes.." he said in a small voice
Kiara felt something poking beneath her and immediately got off and dusted herself.
"I'm gonna head out to the living area, you should call your friends. We could all hang out" she said not turning around to see his face.
"Alright" he clenched his fist.
Kiara was sitting on the couch when finally two portals opened up next to her. It was Viramis and Xilu. Their entrance was more careful than the last time. Once Viramis had his eyes on her his tail started wagging around. Xilu quickly followed after. They were always so delighted to see her.
"It's been so long since you came! How have you been" Xilu said excitingly.
He leaned in closer to her and waited for her response.
"Hi I've been ok!"
Viramis's tail was wagging but his posture showed that he was nervous around her. Kiara grabbed his hand and pulled him in close to her.
"Have you been ok sweetheart?" She said in a soft voice.
The cracks on his skin began to get brighter almost like he was blushing from her holding his hand.
"Yes I've been ok! It's just been" he gulped "a little too hot around here and-"
She pulled him closer onto his lap, and held him there.
"You know for a big scary monster you sure are pretty shy" she giggled while holding his hand "how about you stay here until you calm down"
"I- uh.. I mean- if that's ok with you.." he stuttered
She just held him closer to her. Xilu was clearly a bit envious that he got to sit on her lap and not him.
"So where is Apollo" she said softly
"He's finishing up his errands, and then he's gonna get food for us!" Said Xilu and Viramis at the same time.
