a mii of the spectre from slay the princess

she’s beautiful, even in mii form..

, wouldn’t you notice??

it will—?

[ .. she can see their eyes widen as their pink cheeks go red. sputtering out a laugh, trying to look anywhere else but at the genuine delivery she’d given that offer.. ]

i.. i-i’d love, to,? i.. i’d really, really love to..

.. i’m a little lost.

please, by all means.. it’s nice to have food made by someone who cares.

[ her smile makes their cheeks just as warm.. it’s hard to deny just how nice being around her is.

like they can breathe. and speak their mind without any fear of judgement. ]

.. i’ll make something for you, too.

no—!! no, you don’t have to apologize.. i’m here to listen—!!

[ they seem just the slightest bit disappointed when she scoots back. but they turn their face back to the sweets she’d brought, picking up another cookie and slowly putting part of it in their mouth. ]

.. you already brighten my mood..

.. hhah.. mnnh.

[ her smile makes their heart pound in their chest. or.. whatever they have closest to a heart. ]

i’m just being honest.

] 🤫

[ .. oh. they aren’t good at that. but if she needs them to, then.. ]

.. i wish i could guarantee everything would go smoothly for you. but you are always, ALWAYS welcome to stay here whenever you need to.

this isn’t much of a ‘kingdom’, but considering i’m the only here.. you can be a citizen.

[ letting her cry, they offer tissues as she needs them.. not saying a word, just trying to be as comforting a presence as they can. ]

to give her the most reassuring look they can muster.. position shifting a little to get closer. ]

but you’re really brave. and i’m proud of you for making it this far. and i’m sure your family is too.

they love you. even if they stress themselves over things.. it’s BECAUSE they love you.

.. it’s okay.

you’re.. really strong, for putting up with everything. especially with how uncertain things seem to be for you a lot of the time.

i know you don’t want to upset them. and i think that’s a very reasonable thing to want. i can’t really fully put myself in your shoes.

[ trying >>

you can complain all you need to. this is a safe space. and i want YOU to feel safe.

[ taking a pillow and placing it on their own lap, laying their upper half on top of it in an effort to get comfortable. ]

.. please. i wanna know what’s bothering you. and if i can help. at all.

[ they know how she thinks. somewhat. if she’s anything like them. ]

i am too.

.. you can cry if it makes you feel better. i promise you that i won’t judge you. i can close my eyes if it helps.

please don’t let yourself get upset over it. it’s nice to know you trust me enough to talk about this sort of thing.

[ .. slipping their hands back onto their lap. they’d continue to hold hers, but they don’t have that kind of confidence. ]

.. being with you is enough.

.. good. that’s all i can really ask.

[ unwilling to remove their hand from hers, they sort of gesture to the bedside table with their head.. ]

there’s tissues if you need them. i.. feel safe enough around you to say i cry a lot more than i’m usually willing to admit. 💧

[ kissing her in a manner much too intimate to describe ]

Battie can i kiss you

yYou are so beautiful to me

[ .. immediately averting their gaze in a feeble attempt to hide just how pink their face is getting. her hands are.. soft. and warm.

like in holding her hands.. everything will be okay. they only hope it makes her feel similarly. ]

i.. care about you. a lot. please never forget that.

.

[ muffled from outside ] okaaaay

[ taking out a notepad from their pockets and writing down “please?” before holding it up to the window with the most soggy pathetic look on their face imaginable ]

hands, gently, with both of their own. just by the fingers.. they don’t want to hold her hand without asking. ]

you’re.. here. and you’re you. and you’re wonderful. and you deserve to feel seen.

[ .. they’re just as envious as they are understanding. having people like that in her life.. it sounds nice. just as nice as it is terrifying. ]

i..

.. nno. i know what that’s like. i. feel like i go through that every day. so i hope it helps that you aren’t the only one.

[ taking one of her >>

.. ?

[ they find that a little hard to believe.. making friends seems to come so easily to her. ]

lonely.. how? like, you’ve been surrounded by people, but you feel isolated, or.. is it more isolating yourself—?

yeah, i’ve talked to him a few times, and.. i’ve definitely noticed. but he seems nice otherwise—!!

[ when she asks that question.. she can watch them visibly tense. they haven’t been good. of course not. but they won’t say that. ]

.. good. i’ve.. i’ve been okay. thank you. i hope you are too.

[ THEY certainly don’t believe that part of her.

slowly putting it in their mouth, letting it dissolve on their tongue.. how can something TASTE glittery. ]

it’s.. good? still, though, i think yours was better..

.. what flavor is it. i can’t really tell, hhah..

.. it’s nice. to know we’re similar.
