In the music room...
Aesop: *playing the piano*
Joseph: *walks in*
Joseph: I thought I heard some lovely music playing! How silly of me to not think about you, my love.
Aesop: *stops playing*
Aesop: Oh hey, Joseph.
Aesop: *makes some space on the seat for Joseph*
Joseph: *sits down next to Aesop*
Joseph: So, my darling, what were you playing~?
Aesop: I was actually trying to compose my own music... Would you... Like to hear it...?
Joseph: Sure! And I could help with composing it, if you would like~
Aesop: I would appreciate that... Thanks...
Aesop: *starts playing the piano again*
Joseph: *slowly slides his hands over Aesop's*
Aesop: *gets flustered and stops midway, blushing*
Aesop: Joseph... I can't play like this...
Joseph: Then, let me play for you~
Aesop: H-Huh?
Joseph: *pulls Aesop onto his lap and shuffles into the middle of the seat*
Aesop: Joseph-
Aesop: *blushes even harder and digs his face into Joseph's shoulder*
Joseph: My love, that tickles~ Show me your face~
Aesop: *muffled noises to say that he doesn't want to and continues to keep his bright red face hidden in Joseph's shoulder*
Joseph: Haha! Alright then~ I'll just play for you~
Aesop: *relaxes a bit and lifts his head up to watch Joseph play*
Joseph: *plays an unfamiliar song*
Aesop: What song is this...?
Joseph: It's a song... That I made with someone special...
Aesop: Oh- Sorry- I-
Joseph: No, no, it's alright... I chose to play this particular song, so it's not your fault...
Joseph: *continues playing, a sad smile on his face*
Aesop: If you... Say so... Well, it is a really nice song...
Joseph: Yeah, thank you, my love~
Aesop: No problem...
Joseph: *continues to play, while they are both silent, just listening to the song*
Mike: *slams open the door and starts playing the Wii theme song on his phone, the volume at the highest setting*
Joseph: *stops playing and looks over at Mike, confused, shocked and annoyed*
Aesop: *jumps off of Joseph's lap, embarassed, and looks down at the floor*
Mike: *dancing, not caring about Joseph's gaze*
Joseph: Can you... Can you get out?
Mike: *doesn't notice the other two in the room and just keeps dancing*
Joseph: Oh my gosh... Can you- Can you- CAN YOU GET OUT?!
Mike: *still doesn't care*
Norton: *bursts in and starts dancing with Mike, playing an epic beat on his phone, to match the Wii theme song*
Joseph: My goodness...
Joseph: *holds his forehead with one hand and shakes his head*
Aesop: *getting even more blushier, holds the bottom of his jacket and pulls it down, as if it was too short and it's not covering much*
Norton and Mike: *starts twerking, random MLG glasses fall onto their faces*
Hastur: *casually walks in too, and his eyes have a different coloured light coming out of each eye, acting as a disco light* (See xMikannnx's IDV school AU book for the reference)
Joseph: What- How- Hastur- All of you, please just get out!
Aesop: *leaves the room*
Joseph: Aesop- Hey! Wait! Gosh darn...
Eli: *rushes inside*
Eli: What on earth is happening in here?! What is up with all the noise?!
Hastur: Babe-
Hastur: *turns towards Eli, who is standing in the doorway, without turning off the lights in his eyes*
Eli: *gets blinded temporarily*
Eli: OHMYGOSH, MY EYES!
Eli: *uses his hands to cover his eyes*
Hastur: Oops- Sorry, babe...
Hastur: *turns off his lights*
Hastur: I'm a bit surprised that your eyes were damaged even though you have your eye mask on...
Eli: This cloth is thin... And your eye lights are so bright that it can probably go through any fabric!
Hastur: Again, I'm so sorry...
Joseph: How many more people are going to walk in?!
Eli: It's probably just going to be us five, not including you...
Joseph: Five? Wait... Eli, Hastur, Mike and Norton... If you're not including me, then who's the fifth person?
Eli: Jose, duh.
Joseph: Jose?
Eli: Yeah, he's over there.
Eli: *points to Jose*
Joseph: *looks over at Jose*
Jose: *lying on his front, on the floor, then lifts his head and looks up at Joseph*
Jose: Hi...
Joseph: When did you get here?!
Jose: I was laying here the whole time... I was in here before Aesop came in...
Joseph: So you heard...?
Jose: Yep, I heard everything...
Mike: *stops twerking and takes off MLG glasses*
Mike: Wait, what were they saying?
Jose: Oh, basically, they were being all lovey dovey and talking about music. Then, Aesop went and sat on-
Joseph: Stop, stop, stop! He doesn't need to know! Jose, you should just forget everything that happened in here...
Jose: I heard the most weirdest things in here, so I don't think I can forget so easily...
Mike: I wanna know! Please, Jose! Don't listen to Joseph and just tell me!
Joseph: We didn't say or do anything weird, though...?
Jose: Then, who was the couple that were kissing and making those strange sounds in here, earlier?
Mike: ...Umm...
Norton: *stops dancing, turns off the music and takes off his MLG glasses*
Norton: At what time were the... Couple in here...?
Jose: Like, about five hours ago...
Norton: ...Oh...
Mike: *smiles and scratches head in embarassment*
Eli: Well, now we know who were in here...
Joseph: Okay, now that that's solved, I'll be heading out to find my love~
Joseph: *leaves to go find Aesop, but bumps into Helena*
Joseph: Ah- Sorry, Helena, dear...
Helena: Oh, Joseph? It's okay, hehe.
Helena: *smiles brightly, but not facing Joseph*
Joseph: *holds onto Helena's shoulders and makes his way around her, then faces her in the right direction so that she can head off*
Joseph: There you are, Helena, off you go~
Helena: Oh- Thank you!
Helena: *walks off*
Joseph: *stares at Helena until she is out of his sight, then continues to go find Aesop, who is found in the kitchen*
Aesop: *humming while baking*
Joseph: *standing in the kitchen doorway, leaning on one side*
Joseph: My love~ What are you baking~?
Aesop: Uhh... Just some pie...
Joseph: *walks up to Aesop and hugs him from behind*
Joseph: What kind? Apple?
Joseph: *picks up an apple from the kitchen counter and bites into it*
Aesop: Joseph-! That-! It was for the pie! Now I have to get a new one...
Joseph: Sorry... Don't worry, you keep mixing, I'll get you another apple!
Joseph: *lets go of Aesop and finds an apple in the fridge*
Aesop: Now it's cold...
Joseph: Hm? Cold? Is it the fridge? Is the window open?
Aesop: No... It's just... You were hugging me, then you left, so it just got a bit cold...
Joseph: Oh~? You like me hugging you, huh~?
Aesop: Maybe...
Joseph: *washes the apple, then walks back to Aesop, places the apple on the counter, and hugs Aesop again*
Joseph: Feeling warm again~?
Aesop: Mhm...
Joseph: *leans his chin on Aesop's shoulder*
Joseph: It smells so good already, and it's not even baked yet.
Aesop: *blushing slightly*
Aesop: Wanna help?
Joseph: Oh yes, of course.
Joseph: *helps Aesop with making the pie*
Joseph: Wow~ Looking good~ Just like my love~
Joseph: *kisses Aesop's cheek*
Aesop: You're beautiful too, Joseph...
Aesop: *places the pie in the oven*
Joseph: Getting complimented by my darling~ Aah, feels so good!
Aesop: You're making strange sounds...
Joseph: Nobody's in here, except us~ It's so peaceful in here that we can even...
Joseph: *pushes Aesop against the counter*
Aesop: *leans back so much that he is practically laying down on the counter*
Aesop: Wait- Joseph-
Joseph: *removing Aesop's shirt slowly*
Joseph: Don't worry, my love~ Nobody can stop us in here~
Aesop: That's not the problem...
Joseph: *showing no signs of stopping*
Joseph: Then, what's wrong?
Aesop: L-Let's first stop trying to remove my clothes...
Joseph: Your body says that you want this~
Aesop: I don't feel comfortable doing this...
Joseph: I can't control myself any longer, darling~ This will be our first time~ Don't you feel in the mood~?
Aesop: Not... Really...
Joseph: *finally removes Aesop's shirt and starts removing Aesop's trousers*
Aesop: J-Joseph! Please wait!
Joseph: You've made me wait for so long~ Let me just-
Jack: *runs in*
Jack: I smell fooooooood!
Joseph: *shocked, stops removing Aesop's clothes and turns towards Jack*
Joseph: Jack?! What the hell are you doing in here?!
Jack: I smelt food, so I wanted to see what was cooking.
Joseph: *tries to cover semi-naked Aesop*
Joseph: Well! It's not done, so get out!
Jack: What you guys cooking?
Joseph: None of your business! Now get out!
Jack: WoW, rOoD... I just wanted to see what was cooking...
Naib: *walks in*
Naib: So... I'm a bit malnutriented... And I smell something nice. Oh hi, Jack, Joseph, Aesop.
Jack: Heya, babe, you here to find the source of the great smell too?
Naib: Yeah, I am!
Joseph: Oh my gosh, leave! Both of you! The pie isn't ready yet!
Jack: Ooooh, so it was a pie!
Naib: What pie is it, though?
Joseph: Please go! Right now!
Naib: Why? I don't see a problem... Like, sure, Aesop's a little naked, but it's not like I've never seen him without his shirt on.
Joseph: Wait... WHAT?! SOMEONE ELSE HAS SEEN MY PRECIOUS AESOP NAKED?!
Naib: We're best mates, so obviously I have.
Joseph: NO WAY! DON'T LIE! AESOP, ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?!
Aesop: No, of course not... Naib is just my friend, I promise... Plus, you're more likely to be unfaithful...
Joseph: ...What makes you say that?
Aesop: Just give me back my shirt...
Joseph: *gets off of Aesop and returns his shirt*
Aesop: *puts his shirt back on and gets off of the counter*
Aesop: Thank you... And guys, just wait a bit longer, it's nearly finished...
Naib: Yeah, but what pie is it?
Aesop: Apple...
Naib: Awww yeah boiiii!
Jack: Classic...
Joseph: *a bit disappointed that he couldn't be alone with Aesop*
Joseph: Whatever, you simpleton...
Jack: No idea what that is, but it doesn't sound good...
Joseph: Well, in my opinion, being called a simpleton is an insult.
Jack: Woah, woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, old man?
Joseph: How can you wake up on the wrong side- Just, nevermind...
Mini Ripper: I'm hungry...
Jack and Naib: *both turn around to look at Mini Ripper at the same time*
Jack and Naib: Son?!
Naib: Jack! What did-
Jack: I didn't do anything! Is it always me?!
Naib: Yes, it's-
Mini Ripper: It's always you, Jack...
Jack: You... Didn't call me father or anything...
Mini Ripper: Yeah, 'cause it's hella weird! So damn nasty...
Naib: What did you say?! Jack-
Jack: I didn't teach him that, I swear!
Naib: *glares at Jack, then picks up Mini Ripper and walks out of the kitchen*
Naib: Yo, Aesop! Tell us when the pie is ready!
Aesop: *nods*
Naib: *walks away, holding Mini Ripper*
Jack: I should go now...
Joseph: You should have gone earlier...
Jack: Alright, alright! Chill! I'm sorry for cockblocking, okay?! Jeez, see ya...
Jack: *walks out and follows Naib, closing the kitchen door*
Joseph: Finally... Now, where were we~?
Aesop: Sorry... The pie is done...
Joseph: What...? They just left and the pie is done?
Aesop: Yep...
Aesop: *takes the pie out of the oven and places it on the counter*
Joseph: Seeing you bent over like that... Gosh...
Joseph: *fans himself with his hands*
Aesop: Okay, stop thinking dirty things and help me take this pie out to the dining room.
Joseph: Then, will you let me fu-
Aesop: No...
Joseph: *cries in baguette*
Aesop: It's been a while since you've done that...
Joseph: Yeah... Well, I'll take the pie out now.
Aesop: *makes a small noise of agreement*
Joseph: *takes the pie and walks to the dining room*
Aesop: *takes out the plates and forks and follows behind Joseph*
Joseph: *places the pie on the dining table, cuts slices for him and Aesop, then sits down and eats his slice*
Aesop: *sits down next to Joseph and also eats his slice of pie*
Emily: *comes in*
Emily: What is that delicious smell? Mmm~ Is that pie?
Emily: *sniffs the air and walks closer to the pair*
Joseph: It sure is, doc, come and have some.
Emily: Oh, thank you, but I'd rather eat with Emma, so I'll go get her.
Emily: *goes to find Emma and returns successful*
Emily and Emma: *sit down at the table and eats some pie*
Aesop: I'll get going first... There's something that I remembered I had to do... So, let everyone have some...
Aesop: *kisses Joseph's cheek, stands up and takes his plate and fork back to the kitchen*
Joseph: Alright... See you later, my love~
Aesop: *heads to the kitchen to place his dirty dishes into the sink, then goes to find Ms Nightingale, in her office, where he knocks on her door*
Ms Nightingale: Ah, Aesop, come in.
Aesop: *slowly walks in and stands around*
Ms Nightingale: Okay, honey, what can I do for you?
Aesop: I wanted to buy a pet...
Ms Nightingale: Oh right! Which pet were you thinking of getting? The butterfly? It's beautiful and elegant.
Aesop: I actually wanted to get Mini Photographer...
Ms Nightingale: Oh, that's a great choice too! I'll go get him for you! Wait here, sugar...
Aesop: Sugar...?
Ms Nightingale: *goes to get Mini Photographer, then returns and gives him to Aesop*
Ms Nightingale: Okay, there you are, love. Anything else you need help with?
Aesop: No, I'm alright, thank you.
Ms Nightingale: No worries, dear. Well, if you ever need me, I'll be here.
Aesop: Okay, thanks again.
Aesop: *walks out, carrying a Mini Photographer in his arms, and waving goodbye to Ms Nightingale, then closes her office door*
Aesop: Even as a child, he looks beautiful...
Mini Photographer: Thank you, I know I look gorgeous.
Aesop: Oh- He spoke-
Mini Photographer: Umm, yeah! I have a mouth and a voice box for a reason!
Aesop: Of course... How could I forget... Anyway, let's go show Joseph, he'll be so surprised!
Mini Photographer: Joseph sounds like a dumb name...
Aesop: Oookaaay...
Aesop: *confused, and walks over to Joseph's room, opening the door, which is a little bit harder to open, not a lot, just a little bit, as if a light object was keeping the door closed*
Aesop: Joseph, look who I-
Joseph: *standing naked, in the middle of his room, all of his clothes scattered on the ground*
Aesop: ...😯
Aesop: *closes the door quickly*
Aesop's mind: Wait, we're married... I'm allowed to see things like that...
Aesop: *opens the door again, only to reveal a naked Helena, her clothes also dispersed across the floor, some on top of Joseph's*
Aesop: ...😯
Aesop: *closes the door again*
Aesop's mind: Wait... Why is Helena naked in Joseph's room?
Aesop: *slams open the door, revealing Joseph and Helena, under the covers, getting it on*
Aesop: What are you doing?!
Joseph: I thought you weren't going to open the door again!
Aesop: I wanted to show you someone... But, maybe...
Aesop: *slams door shut, tears in his eyes*
Joseph: Wait! Aesop!
Aesop: *runs away, crying silently, holding on tightly to Mini Photographer*
Joseph: Aesop... I didn't mean-
Helena: *snakes her arms around Joseph's neck*
Helena: You can carry on~ Please go harder on me~
Joseph: *a bit upset, but still ready to go down on Helena*
Joseph: Okay... I won't hold back!
