(ANOTHER AGE REGRESSION STORY, YOU KNEW THE DRILL, YADA YADA DON'T INTERACT IF YOU SUPPORT SHIT THAT F3TISHIZES THE COPING MECHANISM.)
"Mondo Owada, will you please come down to the office immediately?"
Mondo expected hearing that, but he still dreaded the thought.
Not for the reasons you'd normally think..
He wasn't dreading it because he was sick of it (he was but not mainly). He wasn't dreading it because he feared any punishment.
He dreaded it because of Taka's emotional state
The curse of course was still within him.
"S...sure you'll be alright..?" Taka was sweating.
"If anything, I'm more worried about you, bro.."
"I... I'll see what I can do to remedy it..."
And so Mondo went.
"...Ms. Ongaku...? Can I be excused into the nursery???"
"Hm?"
"Mx. Tokei's nursery, to be exact... I... don't feel well.."
"...you may."
"Thank you..."
With that, the Ultimate Moral Compass went right into the nursery of Gaikotsu Tokei.
*knock, knock, knock...*
"Hello, Taka. I've actually been expecting you. Do have a seat."
"Alright, thank you."
Taka was quick to sit on a nice comfy pink chair.
Tokei offered him the purple milk.
"Thank you..."
"I heard what happened... I knew how close you are to Mondo, so I wasn't surprised you came."
Taka could only drink.
"Yeaaah that's what I figured... Shall I get you dressed up?"
"...that would be nice..."
With That, Tokei picked him up and set him on the changing table (FOR CLOTHES MIND YOU), setting aside his uniform and hat and replacing them with a white footed sleeper and a red pacifier clip with a matching paci.
She noticed he still looked pretty solemn, so Tokei picked him back up and decided to set him on the living room floor to turn on the TV.
Taka did his best to keep himself entertained... and yet...
"Wan' bwo..."
"I know... it will only be a bit longer until-"
"Wan' bwo!!"
"T-taka..."
Tokei got a notification on her phone from her beloved.
"So Taka's with you, right?""
"Yeaaaaa..."
"Remember when Mondo had to be hospitalized due to self harm...?"
Tokei realized what this meant.
"T-Taka, how about-"
"WAN' BWO!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tokei already saw Taka's ruby irises saturate, glow, and shrink. His hair was paling, lengthening, glowing...
To say Tokei didn't know how to handle this was an understatement.
Immediately, she blindly picked Taka up in a fit of fear as he snarled, growled, and kicked, all the way into the bathroom and into the closet.
