Gift or whatever idfk what to title this

typical (unreliable title giver)thesia moment

———

I could see it.

The truth staring right back at me.

The truth about myself, about this world, about the Gods, about the people who were meant to be Gods...

They all showed themselves to me, and I somehow couldn't stop them.

So many questions raced through my head.

Was my whole life a lie?

Did I live for no reason at all?

What was even the point of doing all of this then...?

I wondered.

But I never got an answer.

The questions in my head disappeared, and the only thing that remained was one thought;

I want to—

———

Knock, knock, knock.

Aleph snaps out of his thoughts—the knock on his front door has brought him back to reality. He was so lost in the memory of that revelation, that he almost didn't catch that noise.

Nobody else is in the house right now. Nhelv went out with Credits earlier, and Destr0yer said she wanted to go out and have a quick walk to clear her mind, so it's just Aleph in the house now. Frankly, he also just got home from a long day at school—it was Teachers' Day, so he came home rather exhausted from all of the festivities.

Nonetheless, he decides to get himself moving, and quickly makes his way to the door, before opening it, revealing the person on the other side to be none other than Pupa himself. "Ah- Pupa! What brings you here?" He greets, offering the other man to come into the house. Pupa does just that, and as he walks into the house, Aleph quickly notices something in his hand.

"...What's that?" He asks, glancing down towards a plastic bag that Pupa grips tightly. Pupa looks down towards it, before looking back at the math teacher. "Oh. This is for you, actually." He answers, and hearing that, Aleph can feel his face heating up slightly. "O-oh...?"

Pupa then fishes the mysterious object out of the bag, revealing it to be some sort of...encyclopedia book...? "Oh my! How nice! Is this another gift from Pamolia? I thought she'd be giving me only one thing for today, haha." Aleph says, grabbing the book in Pupa's hand as quickly as he could, before inspecting the cover closely. He had probably already read the contents of a book similar to this, but it's always interesting to read it in a different writing style. It entertains him quite a lot—

"Oh, uh- no, actually. I got this for you. Not Pamolia."

—Ah.

To that, Aleph's face grows even more red.

"...Oh...um...you...you got this...for me...? S-specifically you...?" Aleph asks slowly, trying his best to keep his composure—though it seems like it's failing. Pupa averts his gaze from the other man, his cheeks flaring up to a bright shade of red too as he simply answers; "Yeah. Specifically me."

He then quickly adds; "With my own money too, so..."

"I see."

Aleph readjusts his monocle, before nodding at the butterfly's way. "Thank you, then. I'm sure I'll have fun reading this." He says softly, looking down to the book once again, tracing his fingers along the rather hard surface of the cover. Pupa just watches, before quietly sighing fondly. "Yeah. No problem, I guess."

...

"...Also, that thing is expensive- so you better take good care of it!"

"Oh- yes, yes. Alright. I'll keep that in mind~"

"Hmph. You better."

I Don't Know What To Title This And I Didn't Want To Come Up With A Cheesy Title Either But It's AlePupa

thingy i wrote to end off pride month with a bang 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 damn it banged frfr

———

It should be the time of the day where Pamolia should go back home from school by now.

But here Pupa is, trying to find her in the mostly empty hallways of the school she goes to.

Maybe this is just Pupa being his stupid overprotective self, but even then he couldn't help but be worried. After all, it's not everyday Pamolia arrives home late. Looking around, Pupa could feel himself getting even more frustrated. He hasn't been to this school before. Even if he did, he's only been in the outside parts of it. He's never been inside before.

"...Maybe she's in her cla-"

"Pupa?"

"AGH-"

Turning around at the speed of light, all Pupa found behind him was that stupid idiot named Aleph-0. "Oh. Hey." Pupa greeted, though his voice doesn't hold any hint of malice or hostility in it. To that, Aleph smiled. "Hello. I wasn't expecting you around here. I'm betting you are looking for Pamolia, am I wrong?" He asked.

"Yeah. I also wasn't expecting you to still be here. It's not even school hours anymore, so why are you still here?" Pupa asked, raising an eyebrow at the math teacher. "Ah, I had some other things to take care of. There was a meeting that I had to attend. But it's over now." Aleph answered, looking to the side, before looking back at the other man.

"Pamolia volunteered to do some extra work today. In...the library, I think. I fear she isn't done yet, so you'll have to wait a little more longer. I apologize for that, Pupa." Aleph then continued, a frown present on his face now. Pupa's eyebrows raised at that revelation. "Oh, I see..." He uttered out.

"...Say, you can wait in my office. I...wouldn't mind some company while I clean things up before I leave for the day." Aleph then offered, and that caught Pupa's attention almost immediately. "Huh? Really? You wouldn't mind someone else just- chilling in your office?" He asked, and Aleph nodded. "Oh, yeah, alright- wait, I thought all of the teachers share one office together?" Pupa then asked again, and the tone of the question made the teacher chuckle.

"Yes, yes, I meant that. But you said it's a shared office, so I have the right to call it my office too." Aleph replied with pride, and that managed to make Pupa groan. "Ugh...you really do have such a high ego. I hate it."

———

When the two walked into the faculty office, there doesn't seem to be anyone left in there. "Huh? Damn, seems like everyone else left already." Pupa commented. Aleph furrowed his eyebrows a bit at that. "How are they so quick to leave?" He asked himself, before eventually turning his head to look at Pupa. "...Or maybe I spent way too much time talking to you back there?"

"Sounds like it." Pupa replied briefly, and Aleph could only sigh. "Whatever. Pupa, can you close the door real quick?" The math teacher asked, and to that favor, Pupa raised his eyebrow. "What? Why? There's no use in closing the door, y'know." "Eh...I just like it when the door is closed." Aleph simply answered, before grabbing his things and putting them in his bag.

Still filled with suspicion, Pupa closed the door. It didn't took Aleph long to pack his things either, so even then, closing the door felt useless. That's Pupa's opinion, at least. "Hm, done." Aleph announced to himself, though it didn't escape Pupa's ears either. "Yeah- see? This is why closing the door doesn't do shit. I closed the door maybe two minutes ago and you're already done." Pupa complained, and Aleph only sighed.

And then silence followed soon after.

Pupa didn't like this.

"....Hey. Professor Idiot."

"Don't call me that."

"Psh. You always don't like it when I call you that." Pupa teased, and to that, Aleph groaned. "Shut your mouth, Pupa. I'm already tired enough today, I wouldn't want you to make things worse for me." He tiredly said. "Damn. But if you're really that tired, then we should take our leave now—"

"Wait!"

Pupa turned around to walk to the door, only to be stopped by Aleph grabbing his wrist and yanking him backwards. "Ah- woah-" Pupa ended up managing to keep his balance, and he knew what he needed to do next. "Aleph, what the hell?! I originally came here to find Pamolia, and then you dragged me into waiting here with you, and now you're not even gonna let me-"

Immediately, Aleph covered Pupa's mouth with his hand. "Mm—!" "Shh. I'm sorry, Pupa. But I need you to stay for a bit longer. I have something to tell you." Aleph whispered, but it's still audible enough for the blue haired man to hear. The teacher then pried his own hand off of Pupa's mouth, and the first thing to come out of the butterfly's mouth was a sigh.

"Alright, fine. What is it? Make it quick." Pupa asked, basically surrenduring to Aleph as he stood in place, (im)patiently waiting for Aleph to say what he needs to say. "Well...for starters, initially I didn't like you that much." Aleph nervously started, and with a nod from Pupa, he knew he should continue.

"Uh, but then we...sort of grew closer over time, right?" Another nod from Pupa confirms that, this time accompanied with a small smile. Aleph then continued. "Yeah, I noticed how drawn I am to you, and then I sort of...started liking a lot of aspects of you. I even started picking up on more minor things about you. It's...really stupid, but I just simply can't help myself. You're...an interesting person to me, Pupa."

"And that's why—"

"I love you too."

To that, Aleph perked up, a bit wide eyed as he stares at Pupa in confusion. "Wha-" "I said I love you too, you idiot." Pupa said, his face growing more red each passing second. Aleph was...stunned, to say the least. "I...I didn't even got to the part where I actually said it yet..." He said, scratching the back of his head as he averts his gaze from Pupa. Well that's one way to let a confession play out. This isn't how he planned things to go either.

"It was noticeable enough. I quickly noticed it was a cheesy love confession because you kept saying stuff about how we got closer and you noticing minor things about me. I knew where it was heading, so..." Pupa explained, before trailing off nervously.

To that, Aleph smiled. "So...are you really genuine with your response?" He asked, and Pupa sighed, but it isn't the tired or sad kind of sigh, it was more of a fond sigh. "Yeah, yeah. I'm genuine. Why else would I notice and cut you off during your long ass confession?" He replied, and Aleph laughed with glee. "Haha! That's..."

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing what appears to be the school's janitor. "I heard voices in here. Look, if you two are gonna have a romantic moment, at least do it elsewhere." The janitor spoke, and to that, the two men immediately felt embarressed.

———

"Pupa! You're back!"

"Hmm...yeah..."

"Where have you been?"

"I was...looking for you."

"I...didn't see you in school grounds, though."

"..."

"....Pupa? Hello? Are you- hey, wait! Are you seriously going to ignore what I just said?!"

"Pupa? Pupa!!!!!!!!!!"
