LUX , LIGHT . OBSCURUS , DARK . to have one is to have the other , two sides of the same coin , a constant battle of the heart & the mind . an eternal battle , a seemingly impossible balance , will there ever be peace ? or will it be a war , eternal & damning , a cycle that will never end .

#LUXOBSCURUS , an independent , headcanon based & canon divergent , mutuals focused kingdom hearts multi - muse . adored by Eden , 30 , they / he . can also be found on @arcanepromise & @jinxedcycle

at the moment , the muses that can be found on this blog are EPHEMER , AQUA , VENTUS , SORA , RIKU , & AN OC BY THE NAME OF KANAE . knowing how impulsive i can be , however , i will likely end up adding more .

please read below for more information while i get the blog set up , thank you !

when it comes to this blog , please understand that i have work & as a result , activity will be sporadic . i struggle to focus on one thing for too long & while i love rp & have been doing it for literal years , if i don't feel like it in the moment , i'm not going to try to force it & sour both of our experiences .

i've written characters from kingdom hearts for well over a decade now . i have headcanons spanning years . i'm not new to this rodeo . i do not agree with nomura's timeline of events , & as a result , my characters ages differ from canon & i will write more on these at a later date . at the end of kh3 , ventus is physically 19 , sora is 18 , riku is 19 , aqua would technically be in her late 20's if she wasn't stuck in the realm of darkness . ephemer is the odd one out , as he lives his own life after founding scala ad caelum , so any potential verses where it's in scala ad caelum , or post - kh3 , he will be 21 . DESPITE THIS , no nsfw will be found on this blog .

i am multi - ship ! all ships will happen in their own universe as a result , so there'll be no overlap unless previously discussed between all parties . i do prefer to have a connection established & multiple threads below our belts before we try & ship our muses together , though . the only exceptions to this are if you knew me in the past & i can count those people on one hand . again , there'll be no nsfw on this blog .

basic human decency applies , no racism , homophobia , transphobia , sexism , etc , will be permitted on this blog . i don't associate myself with drama , but i reserve the right to block as i see fit , especially if you take part in what's listed above / it's brought to my attention about someone else .

dark topics may appear on this blog , such as violence , depression , anxiety , child soldiers , suicidal ideations , etc . i will do my best to tag obvious triggers with "tw trigger" ( without the quotations ) but if i miss one , or we're mutuals & you need something tagged , please let me know . in my experience , there's nothing too silly to be counted as a trigger .

❥︎ - ; the first beginning and onwards will be a bit based on THAT ep ( i'm still coping ) and a dream that i had back then before the ep even airs 😭. BUT will have a happy ending instead i suppose (?) but oh man,, to reunite with him after the incident..

not too confident with this, but just needed to let this out from my mind :") nanamin might be ooc here!

. dividers by @/cafekitsune !! 💛

With slow, deliberate movements, he drags his feet across the hard grounds of the specific area; taking several steps ahead through the now-empty hallways of the building. Nanami tries his best to control his own breathing while doing so, and at least to conserve what energy is left within him.

It feels so eerily quiet as the silence in the air is only broken by the sound of his footsteps alone. And the pain he's currently having and experiencing-- he simply tried to ignore it with the mere thoughts of you.

Ah yes, his beloved. How long has it been? He even wondered what you were even doing around this hour. Perhaps you were waiting for him at your shared home? Or something else?

Or even.. Are you waiting for his arrival? It's been so long since he heard your sweet voice calling out to him within your safe place together-- your eyes never failed to show the look of adoration and love that was directed to him alone, maybe he gets to see you once again after all of this is over.

The sheer thoughts of it did manage to make him smile slightly for a while there. Even though the situation was dire at this point, he couldn't help himself. It's as if you were there with him-- calming his current state of inner turmoil from his own mind, and encouraging him further to keep on fighting.

And you always did, even when you're out of his line of sight. He just loves you that much.

Right at this moment, it just feels like he's walking down into his own memory lane instead of the quiet hallways from before. A small smile is present despite everything, lost within his own memories that have passed through time. Nanami could still hear your voice as if you were walking beside him, or even a glimpse of you through his peripheral vision. But alas, no sight of you was actually there.

Injured and tired as he was, the thought of you made him keep going.

Nanami feels lost-- he didn't know what to do anymore. What was he trying to do, where is he trying to go?

However, all of those thoughts were being pushed aside once a familiar, soft voice called out to him.

"Kento?"

It sounded exactly like your voice, which made him stop in his tracks. Was it his mind playing tricks on him?

Yet he couldn't stop himself from searching for the source of the sound, a small feeling of hope resurfaced within him.

"Love..?"

His eye widens at the sight before him in utter disbelief. "How are you.. I thought you were.."

Nanami's own words fall on deaf ears, not knowing what to say as much, still trying to register the fact that you are truly standing not too far in front of him right now.

It's as if time has stood still at this point as the two of you locked gaze with one another. Your eyes are filled with warmth as always, accompanied by a soft smile as you look visibly happy to see him.

He's not dreaming. You are indeed alive.

Without thinking twice, he rushes towards you and wraps his arms around you with all the strength that is left of him. The feeling is almost too surreal to him, yet he doesn't pay much mind to it.

"You're here-- god, I miss you so much.." Nanami finally spoke hoarsely; his voice on the verge of breaking.

A part within him died along with you from that one fateful day, but right now-- it feels as if he can breathe normally once again. He can try to live once more, knowing that you are there with him even not for long.

"You're okay, you're okay.." He keeps whispering out those words, most likely to reassure himself while trying to keep his emotions under control. Yet it was almost impossible, because it was you.

"Ken, you're hurt." You gave out your own reply while still holding him close to you with such tenderness, taking notice of his current injured state. No, this is far more worse than you've thought-- up to the point where you were the one to sputter out apologies even when it's not your fault at all.

"I'm alright." Nanami was clearly not, but the words escaped from his lips all too naturally for some reason; slowly breaking away from the hug just so he could have a better look at you.

He's still so badly injured, but still, he feels so relieved to be able to at least see you once more.

"I thought you were dead."

The words didn't have any harsh or ill intentions within it, but rather were asked out of shock. You simply smiled a little, as you have expected that sort of question from him.

"I am."

"I just came here to pick you up. You did so great, I'm just so proud of you. You did well."

"And now it's time for you to rest. Your job is done; you can leave everything behind now."

"You.." He was about to respond, but was unable to because he started tearing up. The feeling is just too overwhelming like never before, and the fact that you just stood before him pushes his emotions further.

"You're really here, aren't you?"

He needs some sort of confirmation. He needs to know. However, his worries fade away once more when a bright smile appears on your face.

"I am real." You gently grab ahold of his hand, leading it up to your face, and let it stay on your cheek. "See?"

Even the wedding ring is visible on your finger for him to witness; a sign that the two of you are tied for the rest of your lives. He breathes out a sigh of relief, finally getting the assurance that he needed at least.

And that's when he realized that he was no longer all bloody and injured as he was before. Instead, he looked perfectly fine, just like you. The pain is no longer present, and any trace of deep fear disappears completely within him.

"We're finally in Malaysia as we've wished for, can't you believe it??" You exclaimed excitedly, holding onto his hands and bouncing a bit too enthusiastically. Nanami observes his surroundings, and indeed, they are now by the seashores; the water is beautifully blue and crystal clear, and the air smells fresh and free. The sun is bright, yet not hot enough to burn off your skin.

It's as if you two were given another chance to start a new life.

"It feels so peaceful here.. I just didn't know what to say." He smiles warmly down at you, clearly can't get enough of the sight of you alone. Guess you never changed, and you're still the same woman that he loved and adored all this time.

Nanami slowly drags you along for a slow walk by the soft powdery sands, really feeling it underneath his feet as he walks.

The whole sensation and moment feels heavenly, dare he say. Even the sound of waves crashing by the sea makes him extremely content, knowing that both of you are free from the world of curses.

From that time onwards, he knew that this is where you both truly belonged, and this is where he belongs. You are his love, his home, his everything. He wouldn't even trade it for anything else and beyond.

"Oh, I still need to show you one more thing."

Nanami quirks up his brow as he looks at you with pure curiosity. "What is it?"

You merely grinned cheerily at him without saying anything further, and that's when he got tackled into a tight hug by someone rather familiar.

It really caught him off guard and took him a few seconds to process on who was actually hugging him right at this moment, before his eyes widened in surprise.

i got carried away near the ending :")

♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎

Dark choco was wandering around the streets at night after finishing his night shift.

At first, he wanted to stay because there were still some unfinished paperworks but then he remembered that his husbands Red velvet and Licorice were surely already home at that time and they were probably thinking about when he's going to go home too. Therefore, the latter preferred to have that though in his head, comforting him that despite a rough night, the two were waiting for him with warm chocolate drink and cuddles.

He smiled slightly at the thought.

Dark choco looked at his watch, seeing that already 9 pm. He widened his eyes.

"Already?? Damn it, I should walk faster." he thought as he accelerated his walk, holding a little more tightly his coat on his shoulder.

Dark choco cookie kept walking faster and faster, the light outside not really helping him to see correctly what was in front of him until they shut off. He groaned.

"Great, the electricity company really had to cut itself in the middle of the night and of course while I'm outside." he complained as he took his phone inside his pocket and activated its flashlight. He continued his walk, this time more cautious because of his limited light.

Until something bumped onto him, making him fall.

He yelped in surprise and groaned in pain, holding his bag. He tried to reajust himself to the dark in order to find where he bumped into something or probably someone but the moonlight wasn't enough for him to see in the dark.

However, the only thing he was sure is that his phone's was still on the floor, the flashlight on.

And that the mysterious shadow instantly took it and raw away in between the buildings.

It tooks three seconds for Dark choco to realize what happened and instinctively yelled. "HEY!" he immediately got up, still taking his jacket and and ran after the mysterious person, chasing them.

Luckily his vision wasn't that horrible despite having astigmatism and his myopia. Plus, the electricity came back but by the way the lights were not that bright, it was clear that it wasn't going to last long. And yet, he continued to run, holding his jacket tightly in order to make sure that it wouldn't fall off again. The mysterious shadow was small yet swift, dodging each trash bag and made sure they don't bump on the corner of a building but that didn't stopped Dark choco who only sped up.

"Come back here!" he yelled but the unknown person only sped up, only looking at the taller man from time to time. They didn't spoke yet their looks seemed to say something in those lines.

"Go fuck yourself, I'm not going to slow down!"

Dark choco grumbled as the two didn't stopped their track. However, the thief started to really seems tired while the older man kept his track. In the end, the mysterious person have met a dead end and there was no way out this time, not even a narrow street that could be used for an exit.

They gulped in anticipation and shakingly turned their head only to yelp in surprise when Dark choco took their wrists and cornered them. Still, they kept squirming, trying to let go his grip but he was just too strong for them, making the thief unable to fight back properly.

"Look-" Dark choco started as the person started to give up on trying to fight back the adult. "- I don't want to hurt you. I want to make it clear but just give me back what is mine and I'll let you go alright?" He negotiated with them.

"L-let me go! Let me-" they kept squirming but Dark choco cookie held a firm grip on them. Seeing how it was useless, the thief suddenly stopped but still, they looked at the other cookie, an indescribable expression on their face as the poor lighting of the streets light weren't helping either.

"Please let me go." They almost pleaded. Dark choco was taken aback a bit by their voice.

They seemed so young. Too young to steal already.

"Give me back what is mine first and I'll let you go" he insisted. They grumbled.

"Please, j-just-" they wanted to seem strong and confident but it was clear that they were actually scared. Dark choco cookie felt slightly bad for them but he still kept his grip on the smaller cookie firm, just in case. They bit their lips before continuing, slightly more panicked. "Yo-you don't understand, sir! I need it!"

The older cookie was taken aback by what the youngster have said. They needed his phone? But why? Well, he meant the fact that despite needing his phone, it wasn't actually an expensive one. Heck, he had it for almost 4 years and at this rate, the phone had already too much bugs and late updates, the thing probably didn't cost that much anymore.

"Look if you're planning to sell it I'm sorry but I don't think it will be worth it" Dark choco cookie resonated. The small cookie widened their eyes and the taller one swore that for a moment, a flash of dread and worry went past in their eyes before they growled and made another useless attempt to free themselves.

"Why should I even trust you or what you're saying???" They snarled but Dark choco didn't seemed to flinch nor affected by the other cookie's harshness.

After all, it was just a kid. A child who was trying to steal properly.

And that though really bothered Dark choco. They were told young to do that.

The youngster was still trying to go away until the two cookies heard a weird odd sound. Dark choco would have thought that it came from outside if it wasn't for the smaller cookie who yelped in pain and instead let go of the phone as they clutched their side, gritting their teeth in pain. Dark choco seemed startled by their reaction as he instinctively let go of them.

Somehow, the child didn't try to run away even though it was an opportunity but they seemed to be in too much pain to notice it. They clutched as they shut their eyes tightly as the taller cookie stepped out a bit, concerned at their attitude.

"Hey... Are you okay?" He asked. Well of course not, they were not okay! But- he didn't knew how to start of another conversation, mainly when he actually wanted to help.

The kid shakily waved their hand to dismiss his words as they breathed out heavily.

"Y-yeah I'm okay I-" they didn't had time to finish their sentence as the pain only got worse as they crouched down in half, getting even more uncomfortable. Dark choco winced in empathy, thought he still didn't knew what was happening to them.

Until he trailed hus eyes on their side and noticed the small puddle of blood that started to form on the fabric of their dirty t-shirt.

Immediately, the older cookie went into dad mode as he kneeled to their level, his eyes were wide and filled with concern.

"Kiddo! Your side-! You're bleeding-!!" He exclaimed in a alarming tone while he instinctively raised his hand to see the wound, not knowing how to exactly react but the child was still stubbornly trying to get up on their own however, that only tired them even more as their breathing quicken and started to get shaky and short.

They watched Dark choco from the ground, feeling tears building up on the corner of their eyes but they quickly wiped the droplet that were about to ran down on their cheeks, trying to be seen as "tough" and not a "crybaby" like how their parents kept calling them every they would shed a single tear.

The older cookie was a bit destabilized and panicked a bit but quickly try to help them as much as he could.

"Please kid, let me see it" he said, almost in a pleading way, still trying to use soft tone. The child flinched a bit seeing Dark choco cookie's hand reaching out towards them. That made the other cookie's heart broken a bit, seeing that despite how he tried to be gentle and friendly towards them, they still seemed to be in alert and scared, probably scared of him.

Just the thought of it made his heart aches even more.

"Listen kid I-" he took a small breath before continuing, a bit shaky. "-I'm not going to hurt you alright? I'm just- I'm just going to check on it-" he explained. The child was a bit unsure but they remembered their conditions on the current : the two were in the middle of the night, in small narrow dark street and if they would come back to their house, their parents wouldn't be that happy to see them even though they literally ran away yesterday and never answered to their calls...

In the end, even if the young cookie didn't even knew the taller one as they even tried to steal his phone, he seemed more... Trustworthy? He seemed way nicer and gentle than their own parents. And he even minded that they stole their belongings!

Slowly, the kid raised a bit their t-shirt to reveal their wound as dark choco delicately inspected it.

He winced at the sight.

There was a huge crack and even a hole on the cookie's dough that the latter have tried to fill with an handkerchief that was soaked with strawberry jam and even bleeding out from it. Seeing how the blood was still coming out of the wound, dark choco knew that it was still fresh but the fact that the child didn't even try to at least take care of their wound means that they didn't cared about themselves for a while now and that worried him.

"Kid, how long did you had... This? You told no one didn't you? Not even your parents?" He asked, a bit hesitant, mainly on the last part. They said nothing, avoiding his gaze as much as they could. Dark choco frowned a bit but he was more focused on the thing that was worrying him about the child.

Did their parents actually didn't care that they got hurt? Or was the kid afraid that they would be angry at them?? Or else- no no they wouldn't hurt them, not that badly! Dark choco really hoped that it was something else, but the idea that those kind of parents would do this to their own child was sickening to him..

"Look i-...-i'm going to take you to my home alright? It's not really safe out there and I don't think there aren't hospitals nor pharmacies open around this hour. Of course, you can say no but- I really want to insist the fact that I just want to help you alright?" He said, his gaze switching from the child's face to his wound back and forth. The younger cookie's face was a mix surprise and disbelief, finally looking at him who tried to pull on a gentle smile.

They hesitated a bit, not knowing what do to before reculantly nodding weakly. Dark choco hummed in satisfaction as he got up and reached out his hand for the child to take it.

And the latter slowly but now firmly took it as they clumsily got up too.

-🍫-

"Dark choco! It was about to time you-! wait- is that a kid-?" Licorice exclaimed but soon got confused and surprised when he saw his husband with a young unknown cookie who sheepishly hid behind him. Red velvet was in his desk when he heard the voices as he poked his head out of the room, his eyes also widening a bit in surprise as he saw that Dark choco came didn't came back alone.

"Wait hun? What is this kid doing with you-?" The other man asked, widening his eyes a bit. Dark choco smiled a bit as he mentioned for the child to go furthermore behind him in case if they felt way too much uncomfortable with his husbands.

"They were lost so I'm trying to help them a bit just this night. They didn't knew where their parents where therefore I will call them after they would be safe" he explained. The child felt a bit relieved that he didn't try to tell the two everything and the reason why they were here as well with the fact that they had a severe wound on their side.

But the thing that happened next shocked them.

As Licorice hummed in satisfaction and Red velvet nodded in comprehension, Dark choco went towards them as he kissed the two on the lips in which both Licorice and Red velvet gave back the kiss with enthusiasm as one of them even wrapped his arms around Dark choco's waist.

The child couldn't help but cringe a bit.

They didn't knew that the man that took them was actually a homosexual man, and less in a relationship with not only one, but two men! Ever since they were little, the kid would hear from their parents that gay men as well as the LGBT community were the plague of society who only groomed children and were destined for hell as both of them would always call them with a word that started with f and that the child really founded ugly to hear.

And yet... Dark choco was nice? They didn't knew if he was just playing with them or not but during the entire time, he was caring towards them despite their rough start and if he wanted to kidnap them, he would already do that long time ago and probably, hurt them even more.

Plus they never felt like a girl nor a boy but never tell them about it, fearing them.

"Sorry hun I would like to continue more but there's a child I need to take care of", Dark choco's sing-song voice drove the kid back to reality. They swore they saw for a glimpse of second a pouting expression on the cookie who had a red face as well as crimson features as the other one with dark blue dreadlocks laughed a bit, covering his mouth. Dark choco smiled as he kissed him last time on the cheek as some sort of apology before taking the child's hand. It took them a few seconds to calm down as they instinctively tensed up like everytime someone would touch them without warning.

"Come, I'll guide you to the guestroom"

Dark choco but still, he waited for them to make the first step in order to not make them even more uncomfortable. The child hesitated before nodding and following the taller and older cookie. Dark choco couldn't help but smile a bit, seeing that they were actually trusting him a bit now.

It wasn't probably a full trust but at least, the both of them are making progress.

-🍫-

"Would you mind telling me your name?"

"..."

"Mmh. I understand, I will give you time but if you really don't want to that's fine as well"

Dark choco tried to make sure the kid was feeling comfortable in the guestroom while he was rummaging through the closet to find the first aid kit. The younger cookie was nervously sitting on the large bed, fidgeting with their fingers as the taller cookie came back towards them, bandages and alcohol in his hands as he kneeled down to their level.

"Can you pull out your shirt now a bit? You don't need to remove it. Just enough for me to see entirely the crack" he reassured.

This time, dark choco noticed that the child was a bit more cooperative than when the two were in the streets.

He couldn't help but feel a bit swell of pride by thinking that probably they felt a bit safer now with him.

Dark choco came back to reality as he inspected furthermore the crack on the child's stomach. At the same time, he was soaking a piece of cotton with alcohol as he warned before continuing.

"Sorry kid it might sting a bit" he said. The child in question bit their lips as they took a small, shaky breath.

Dark choco hesitated a bit but he knew that waiting even more would make the crack worse therefore he decided to directly put the soaked cotton on the main crack.

The child never felt something cold and spiky at the same time as they winced before calming down muttering a sorry. Dark choco smiled.

"It's okay, it would sting a bit but I'll try to be gentle with you" he spoke softly. The child nodded shakily.

The older cookie wanted to make them more comfortable around him as he started the conversation.

"Soo... Are you okay"

Alright. Maybe starting the conversation with this kind of question when he was literally fixing (if we could say that in a way) the huge crack on a younger cookie's skin was not the best approach. But eh, at least he tried his best.

"A bit... Tired actually" the child actually spoke, or more like mumbled, for the first time since the two went inside the house. They hesitated a but before asking what was bothering them ever since they saw Red velvet cookie as well as Licorice cookie.

"Uhm... I'm actually sorry for asking but- those guys.." they trailed off in the end. Dark choco hummed as he understood what they meant.

"Oh them? They're actually my husbands" the older cookie said. The child got even more surprised.

"Wait the TWO of them are BOTH your husbands??" They asked, credulous. Dark choco nodded as he chuckled a bit.

"Hey, we have been married for five years now. Yeah, it's a bit recent but eh." He laughed a bit seeing the child's reaction. "What? You never saw a couple of three people before?" His tone wasn't teasing nor playful. In fact, he was genuinely intrigued by them. With a bit of shame, they nodded slowly, head hung low.

"No uhm- sorry sir-"

"That's fine, it's probably all new for you"

Dark choco wanted to talk with them more in order to make sure they were comfortable with him but seeing how actually quite severe the wound and crack was, he needed to know how on earth they ended up that hurt AND without telling anyone.

"Kiddo.." he started, still a bit hesitant.

"Mmh ?"

"Please... At least tell me. Look if you don't want to tell me your name that's fine I just-" he paused before continuing, this time more tense.

"... Who did this to you?"

The question made the child's blood running cold as they widened their eyes. Of course, they knew that Dark choco would eventually ask them how on earth did they got that crack but they hadn't excepted him to ask about it- so soon.

They hesitated to tell and nearly wanted to play the muted person again but they have already closed their mouth enough as they spoke, their tone tense.

"Them- they.... They did this to me"

Dark choco wanted to raise an eyebrow but felt that it wasn't really an appropriate reaction on the current. Still, he asked

"... Them? What do you mean by The-"

"My parents."

The answer was short and quick but the child felt a weird, odd sensation filling them inside. Dark choco widened his eyes, not processing fully at first what they just said before realizing it. His face then went pale for a second.

"What?"

The child felt a feeling of regret and guilt slowly washing over them, talking about their parents in this way. Still, they continued to talk.

"They were the one who have done this, well, mainly my father. It's-" they stopped talking as their fist clenched even more. Dark choco saw how tensed they became as he softly brushed his fingers on their knuckles, speaking in a caring way.

"Kid, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. After all, you're the one who thinks if you're comfortable enough to do i-" he got cut off again when they spoke, gritting their teeth a bit.

"No no it's okay I-" they cut themselves again as they sighed in exasperation and a hint of frustration as well, finally letting everything out. "They have been doing this for a while now but that day, it was worse than any bruises they have done before.."

Dark choco let them speak as they continued, their gaze blank, an indescribable expression on their face.

"They wanted me to stay still a-and told me that I would be punished if I disobeyed them but.. but i-i- I didn't listened to them a-and he- he-" the child's tone became more and more shaky as their vision became blurry from the tears that haven't spilled yet. The taller cookie saw how distressed they seemed as he quickly intervened, concerned and worried.

"H-hey kid, please- you need to relax- look or listen I don't know- if you're not comfortable enough to tell it don't I'm begging y-"

"He tried to touch me! He wanted to use the opportunity to take advantage of me!!" They suddenly yelled as a few tears trailed down to their cheeks. It that moment, they broke down.

"I only wanted to prove myself to them! I only wanted to show how I was willing to do anything, even if it hurted me in the inside, but they never cared to aknowledge it in the slightest! And all they could think is how useless I am and not how many efforts I put to just please them a bit!! And a-and-"

They stopped as they sniffed loudly, wiping violently the tears that haven't spilled on their cheeks. In the end, they continued, this time their tone was even more shaky with a barely audible voice audible.

"And when I finally fought back, the-they well he mostly, wanted to punish me.." they finished, letting out a small choked hick. Dark choco only stood (well more like kneeled down) there, unable to process properly everything that they have just said, his eyes wide before his surprise and shocked expression changed into pity and worry.

"S-sorry I didn't meant to yell and tell you everything I-" they didn't had time to finish their sentence as they felt the taller cookie hugging them close. They let out a small surprised gasp with widening eyes.

"God..." Dark choco started, not knowing how to start off his sentence. "I-it's okay, it's just- i-i'm so sorry for what happened to you, you didn't deserve any of that"

Actually, Dark choco cookie wasn't the best when it came to comforting words and emotional speech and mainly now because that kind of problem actually happened to him before. Well, it wasn't that severe like this but it did took a while for him to actually heal his relationship with his father.

And hearing such horrible situation from a child upset him so much.

The younger cookie in question didn't knew what to do, unable to process entirely what happened as they hesitantly and slowly raised their arms in a shaky wag to hug back the older cookie.

"I-it's-" they started as they bit their lips, not knowing how to talk furthermore.

"No it's not okay. Kid, you need to know that it's NOT okay to live like this, to have parents like this, to have such a father" Dark choco felt disgusted upon applying that statue to someone who was that much disgusting. He continued. "Listen, I know you won't probably trust me or something in this way but I will let you be here for this night until I find someone to take care of you, I can't- okay listen I'm sorry but I can't bring myself to bring you back when you-" he paused, before continuing, this time his tone was more hesitant. "When your parents do this to you"

The child though about it, shutting their eyes a bit as they though about it, their tone still a bit shaky yet firm at the same time.

"... M-maybe I can rest here a bit. Well, for now.." they said. Dark choco smiled a bit before the smaller cookie spoke again. "Th-thank you by the way-" they wobbly thanked as the other cookie nodded.

"It's nothing. Now you need to rest up, it's quite late"

The child nodded as Dark choco's hug loosened a bit but not letting them go entirely. The child didn't minded it that much, they didn't wanted to let go too.

The two sat on the large bed in a comfortable silence until the child finally spoke.

"Apple cider"

"Mmh?"

"My name is... Apple cider. Apple cider cookie"

Dark choco's eyes widened a bit before he smiled again.

"Alright then. Nice to meet you, Apple cider cookie. Mine is Dark choco cookie"

Apple cider hummed in a half muffled tone as they buried themselves a bit more onto the older cookie's embrace as for the first time in a while, they smiled lightly.

Enough to know that they were safe.
