Licorice Cookie Angst

Part 2

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT WRITING SHIT FOR THIS STORY I'VE BEEN VERY STRESSED WITH SCHOOL
I'LL TRY TO UPDATE THIS MORE OFTEN BUT I CAN'T PROMISE ANYTHING

3rd POV
Licorice wakes up the next morning, feeling like absolute shit and checks the time.
4:53? Why do I always wake up so early...

As always, he questions why he seems to wake up so early and gets himself ready for the day, knowing he won't be able to het himself to sleep again.

He gets up and heads straight towards the bathroom, doing the normal brushing his teeth and hair. Basically just attempts in making himself look presentable since the last time he didn't put enough effort to taling care of himself in the morning, he got scolded by Pomegranate.

He gently brushed the curls back into their place from his messy bedhead and put it into a small bun with his usual bangs covering the right half of his face and then proceeded to put on the eyeliner he uses to hope and cover up his eyebags.

He then went to his closet on the opposite side of the room to pull out his usual robes and grabbed the purple rope that wraps around his waist and holds up his robes. He went to his bedside table to grab his necklace and scythe and proceeded to his personal room to practice his necromancy.

-------

It had been about three hours before he heard a very muffled knock from his room door. He left the current room he was in and got to his bedroom door to see Poison Mushroom standing in front of him.

"Pomegranate says it's time for breakfast!" Licorice looked at them with a small yet gentle smile on his face and nodded in acknowledgement.

They went to the dining room together and saw Dark Choco and Red Velvet already sat down and joined them at the table.

About ten minutes pass when Pomegranate walks in and sits down herself, placing the plates of food in front of the others beforehand.

They ate in silence as Pomegranate seems to always give a tension that seems to come and go when she enters and exits a room. She had dirt on basically everyone in that current room except for Poison Mushroom since they were only a child.

As soon as everyone finished, they all went their separate ways, PM and Licorice went out to the forest for a walk in a meadow they enjoy spending time in, Red Velvet going to take care of the cake hounds, Dark Choco went to go train and Pomegranate's whereabouts are always seemingly unknown.

PM and Licorice were sat in the beautiful meadow that was quite the distance from where they reside and were having a nice time together. PM made matching flower crowns for the both of them and Licorice was sat in the flowers, watching PM having fun running around in the field of what seemed like and endless sea of flowers.

After what seemed like hours, PM got tired and lied down in Licorice's lap, on the verge of falling asleep. Licorice hummed a gentle tune that sounded like it drifted in the wind and reached the far corners of the world.

PM fell asleep after Licorice fell silent and gazed at the clouds, watching them drag across the vast and so very empty sky.

Couple hours pass when Clover and Herb Cookie stumble upon them in the field. They didn't have much against Licorice other than what the main five have told them, but it had slipped their minds for the moment. They went up to greet the seemingly peaceful looking cookie.

"Hello there, Licorice Cookie." "Greetings!" Them giving their hellos to Licorice startled him, making him tense up and pray he didn't wake up PM. He turned around to see Clover and Herb staring at him with gentle smiles.

Licorice hesitated before acknowledging their greeting. "...Hello." Licorice just made it nice and simple hello and waited for a response. "Do you mind if we join you?" Clover questioned just a moment after Licorice acknowledged their greeting.

Licorice gave it a thought. What if Pomegranate was watching? What if they were just trying to disract him from being ambushed. Nonetheless, he let them sit down with him and PM, who is still sleeping.

They talked for a while, Clover and Herb surprisingly giving Licorice the comfort he really needed. They talked for quite some time until they heard Pure Vanilla and the main five coming up to them.

"Clover! Herb!" PV. "Did they hurt you?!" Gingerbrave. "If they did I'll kick their asses!" Chili Pepper. "They didn't try and c-cast any s-spells on you, d-did they?" Strawberry. "If they did, I'll just have to cast a stronger spell!" Wizard.

"No, no! We were just talking. We found them in the field and just talked for a while." Clover.
"They didn't seem like they were trying anything, so we didn't think much of it." Herb. "...what's.... going on...?" PM.

Licorice was quite overwhelmed and didn't know what to say. PM took notice and hugged him, also being quite terrified of the situation at the moment.

While the main five were trying to "knock some sense" into Herb and Clover, PV looked like he was trying to think of something.

"How about we just take them in. You know, to try and change their ways?" Everyone was dead silent and they all stared at PV, then PM and Licorice.

Licorice was silent until they smelled something familiar...

The scent of pomegranates.
