YOUR POV:

"But..there's a lot to unpack. Telling you everything might take up too much time and we've got to-"

"I just cancelled training for today, we've got all the time in the world" he winked

"...."

"Or, you know, I could just serenade you until the second hand embarrassment overwhelms any of the feelings your experiencing"

"Why do I feel like you're just looking for a way to deafen me bird man?" You stared at him amusedly.

"I'll have you know I'm quite the little songbird!" He snapped defensively

"Yeah and if you're a song bird than I guess then I'm Albert Einstein" you scoffed

"Steinie? Is that you?" He spoke in feign wonder.

You laughed for a moment before pulling back and covering yourself in your blanket.

"Someones getting comfortable" he shot you a lazy smile.

"Yeah, but the tragic story of 'the life of (Y/N)' doesn't begin until thick and juicy is in my lap"

"Well kid if you wanted my body all you had to do was ask" he teased.

"Just go and get the fucking pillow" you rolled your eyes, laughing internally as he hopped up to retrieve it.

Whilst he was gone you looked down at the blanket you had balled into your fists and took a deep breath in.

'It's alright..I needed to talk to someone about it sooner or later right?'

KEIGO'S POV:

Her eyes lit up as I re-entered holding the giant chicken wing body pillow, it was kinda cute.

"Nu-Uh-Uh" I wagged my finger as she reached out to get it "you gotta promise you'll give him back after"

She sent me an unhappy glare before finally

"Okay then"

I passed over to her the chicken wing and moved to sit opposite her, laying down on my side.

"So..erm... where do I start?" I watched, face in palm as she scratched her head

"Why're you asking me? I don't know anything about it?"

"B-because I've never had to tell anyone this stuff before!" She huffed snuggling deeper into the plushie. 

"Really? Start from the beginning then?"

"Okay..so you already know I wasn't from here"

"Yeah?"

"my dimension was...not my favourite place" she chuckled anxiously "you know, you and Mimi are some of the first people to treat me like a person"

The way she smiled, eyes softly closed, completely ignoring the dampness overcoming her cheeks. It tugged on my heartstrings.

I wasn't used to her being so vulnerable, it's usually such a mission to get her to open up.

"What about your family?"

"Technically I don't have one"

I cocked my brow.

'Shit. Maybe she's an orphan?'

As she opened her mouth to speak, she gazed off to the side as if she was scared to make eye contact with me "I'm a genetic experiment"

"Sorry, come again???"

"I-Uh.. I was made in a lab"

'Wow. I was not expecting that'
