MATCHING COLLARS (Pim x Naliphorn Fanfiction)

Naliphorn entered Pim's and her shared home, clutching a plastic bag from the pet store in her hands. Her tail light green and wagging from excitement, unable to contain the smile on her face.

"Piiiiim~!" Naliphorn shut the door gently with her tail as she called out to her beloved, not that she ever told him, since she isn't even sure of her own feelings. They had grown awfully close to the short, pink man. They were as aware of it as everyone else was, but they couldn't help growing attached when Pim felt like warm sun rays hitting her purple skin. Hearing Pim's happy, fast footsteps approaching, her ears perked up and her tail wagged faster, she walked to meet him halfway.

"Welcome home, Nali! Did you get everything you need?" Pim asked with a smile on his face, spatula in hand, a sign he was cooking the two of them dinner. His big eyes looked up at Naliphorn with a tiny tilt to his head. Naliphorn leaned down slightly to hug Pim, feeling his warmth spread all over her body, causing her to suppress a shudder.

"IIIII diiiid!" Naliphorn wanted to say more, wanted to tell Pim about how she'd rather stay by his side for the rest of her life then ever go shopping alone again. She could if she wanted to, but this was a surprise, maybe even a confession of sorts, she couldn't have let him come along. Naliphorn pulled away, hesitantly, but still enjoying the lingering warmth he had left on her. Naliphorn smiled down at Pim, as she had always done, it was simply impossible to NOT smile at him. She wholeheartedly believed that if she didn't smile at him that she would break the law, and to be fair, it probably was a law to Naliphorn. "Piiim..I got you a giiift! Tuuurn.. arOUnnd." Pim's eyes widened as he stared up at Naliphorn.

"A-a gift? Oh boy!" A smile took over Pim's features as he excitedly turned around, opening and closing his fist. Pim shut his eyes tightly when he heard the rustling of the plastic bag, shortly after feeling something wrap around his neck snuggly. When Pim felt Naliphorn's hands pull away, he had opened his eyes and looked down, sputtering when he saw it was a collar. He spun to meet Naliphorn's gaze, his eyes landing a little too high before he looked down as she had been crouched, a pink collar in her hands and a smile on her face.

"Put it on me?" Naliphorn asked with a tilt to their head, their antenna following the motion.

"Nali...this is...uh..." Pim trailed off, not sure how to explain how this wasn't normal human OR critter behavior. And god, imagining his coworkers teasing made him dread the collars. Not that he wasn't appreciative, or didn't like them! He did! It's just embarrassing to have everyone call Naliphorn his pet when he thinks of her as so much more than that. She's his FRIEND! ...Okay, she's a LOT more than JUST a friend. Pim isn't clueless enough to NOT notice Naliphorn's clear preference and loyalty to him, and while he does like her back, he wants to take his time, get to know each other. Frankly, he's a bit scared of another Jennifer happening, Pim has never had much luck in love, he's worried that he might ruin things with Naliphorn if he rushes, or even that slight fear that he's reading too much into her actions and words. Afterall, Naliphorn's loyalty and affections could just be a part of their alien culture, he wouldn't know since she doesn't talk about it, and Naliphorn is nice so maybe he's just reading into it.

"Youu...don't like..it?" Naliphorn's eyes widened as she stared at Pim, feeling a bit dazed. Afterall, this was considered a confession for Naliphorn, and Pim didn't accept. She wasn't upset with him, rather, worried that she did something wrong, something to make him hate her. Her ears and antenna had flattened, her tail falling limply to the ground, turning a deep, dull blue. She really thought that things were working out, but, maybe she's not cut out for these human experiences and feelings. Growing up in a place where she felt no love directed towards her and had no love for the people around her, she's not sure how to really love, and coming to a new planet with new customs added on top didn't help her understanding of love.

"No..no! It's not like that! I just-...it's just... uhm..may I ask why collars?" Pim flailed his arms, not because of his usual excitement, but with worry. Much like how Naliphorn feels with not smiling at Pim, Pim feels similar with making Naliphorn sad. He enjoys seeing her happy, he loves it, and he wants to always make her happy. He's always loved making people smile, but he NEEDS see Naliphorn smile and to be the one to make her smile. Seeing Naliphorn sad, and knowing he made her feel that way, it feels like a crime to him.

"Theyyyy're maaaatchiiing~! Prooove my looove and...loooyaltyy!" Naliphorn perked right back up, feeling that maybe she has a chance. Pim's hands flew up to his flustered face, trying to hide it from Naliphorn. 'Love' huh? Yeah Pim was sure he would explode. Naliphorn got on her knee's, tired from crouching, and removed Pim's hands, smiling when she looked into his eyes. "Wiiill you...pleeeease put miiine ooon?" Without thinking, Pim's shaky hands took the pink collar and put it on Naliphorn gently, worried that it would be too tight, or get caught on her hair or antenna.

"It's...it's not too tight, is it?" Pim's fingers still placed on Naliphorn's collar as he stared down at her. His eyes gazed over her, her large pink eyes, her moles, her long eyelashes, the way her hair fell over her face, she was mesmerizing to him. She shook her head no, nuzzling against Pim's chest, her tail wrapping around his leg gently. Naliphorn felt a strange, vibrating sensation in her throat, she had no clue what it was, but Pim caught it. Naliphorn was purring, something that both of them weren't even aware it was something she did. A thought came to Pim's mind as he recalled Naliphorns words of love and loyalty, it sounded like...marriage to Pim. Maybe Naliphorn would accept wearing matching rings instead of collars, they wouldn't get strange looks from strangers, and maybe Maverick and Charlie wouldn't notice the rings. "...Why don't we uh get r-rings instead? They symbolize the same thing."

"Riiings? ...Okaaay, I just want toooo maaatch with youuu~" Naliphorn pulled away slightly with a smile on her face, looking up at Pim. Naliphorn's confession may have still gotten rejected in her mind, BUT she hasn't lost hope yet, the fact Pim wants to match with her has got to mean something, so she'll keep confessing in the only ways she knows how to. Pim hasn't out right confessed, he has no plans to this soon, but these rings could symbolize a promise to him, and to Naliphorn, that someday he will confess.

*Flashback*

Naliphorn rested her head on the table. Pim and Charlie got a job to do without her and Maeve, and Naliphorn hated it. She wanted to be by Pim's side, it was eating her up knowing she couldn't protect him if anything happened.

"You upset you didn't get sent out with Pim?" Maverick, also known as Maeve, had asked the purple alien, resting their hand on the table and holding a Monster drink. Naliphorn let out a shaky little whine with her alien voice, gently slamming her hands on the table repeatedly. Maeve looked up in thought, not that anyone could tell with the massive amount of unruly hair on their head, a sinister smile appearing on their face when they finally got an idea. "You knooow Nali, the boss MIGHT just let you and Pim be together from now on if you proved that you and Pim are together."

"...But weee aren't..." Naliphorn sighed, sinking into the table farther. Maeve held back laughter, looking at their little purple friend.

"Yeah, but the boss doesn't need to know that~ Why don't you get matching collars? They stand out, prove your loyalty, it could even serve as your confession towards Pim." Maeve cared for the alien, they really did, but at the same time it was SO easy to get entertainment from her since she just does whatever she's told. She believes whatever she's told. Maeve looks at this situation and wonders how anyone COULDN'T pull a few harmless pranks. Maeve smiles when Naliphorn perks up, it meant Maeve had won, their idea sinking deep into Naliphorn's brain. Naliphorn smiles and runs around the office, cheering unintelligibly, shaking Glep excitedly before dropping the 1'6 man from her 5'0 grasp. Allan backed up in fear when the purple creature approached him quickly. Maeve laughs as Naliphorn causes Allan to spill his freshly made coffee everywhere. He huffs, glaring at the alien while she leaves, however his cold stare quickly turns towards Maeve who just smiles and shrugs.

Speaking of Naliphorn

HERE SHE IS!! My silly little alien creature!! PIM PIM PIM PIM NATION RISE RAAAAAAAAAA!!!

ANYWAYS! Here's some information about my hyperfixation!

Her full name is Naliphorn Xythar but most people call her Nali

They're 33 and their pronouns are she/they

She works with at the Smiling Friend and she's been living with Pim!

Some fun facts about Nali though! They typically glamours away their scars, not all of them since its exhausting for them to keep that up, hence why they usually wear lots of layers that hide their body, since then they can just let go for he most part. They purr!! In the art I've done I haven't drawn them, but she's got toe beans LMAO! When it's hot out, they get white freckles(you can see it on her swimwear :3) Their antenna and tail hearts change color depending on her mood/status(dark red for hurt, deep, dull blue for sad, there's more, I'm still working on a little chart for it!)

They came to Earth by accident, trying to escape their old home planet, wanting to get away from it all. She crash landed and came across the yellow, smiling building when bystanders had overwhelmed her. I have a comic and other comic ideas so I'm not gonna go super into depth into her story in this post!! Anyways, because she didn't have any money, Pim was nice enough to offer a place for her to stay with him! The second picture is a height difference between her and Pim, until SF has an official height I headcanon him as 4'0, and Nali is 5'0 :3 also so insane cause i got into smiling friends after season 2 episode 5 was released and knew nothing about the next episode and then I made Nali and she's an alien simply cause I LOVE aliens AND THEN IT WAS ABOUT ALIENS FBGHJFGKDJHVHJDG SO INSANE ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE!!

here's screenshots of the experience cause im still screaming and running around in circles cause of it!

also obvs I KNOW it was just a coincidence but I'm so insane and not normal about Pim and Naliphorn
