THE SLEEPOVER
&&&
That night, after the amazing revelation that Faith and Rene are related, the two vulpixes found themselves up in Rene's room in their respective sleepwear and watching a movie; eating Faith's healthy 'junk food'.
“What do you call this stuff again?” Rene asked around a mouthful of food.
There were rice balls with juicy plums and peaches...little rawstberry tartlets and various other sweet and fun foods lay out on the table...it seemed the girl had worked the kitchens well! Faith sat in what seemed like a miniature kimono, no bigger than a nightshirt and tied at the waist, hugging a pillow close, as she looked to him. “That? Green tea cake!” She grinned proudly.
“...Isn't SO bad,” Rene allowed, a big concession from him. “But I still want my oreos!” He munches on it all the same, sitting in a small t-shirt and a pair of boxer-briefs.
“Try the milksap tea with it! *She giggled, still sitting propped up as Jingle-chan seemed to be sound asleep, attached to the large window by the suction cup atop his head; leaving them to it, as Faith hugged onto that pillow, her other leg propped up on another for the moment. “Thanks again for having me here!”
“Anytime! I love having company...and besides, you're family now!”
Faith giggled. “That's true!” Her tails bobbed animatedly. “Until now, I'd never even known I'd have family outside the shrine!” Rene hugged her tightly. “I didn't know I had family outside of mom...and my father. So this is too cool for words!” Faith smiled lightly to him, loosening her grip on the pillow as she let it transfer to him instead.
“Well, Ohana?” That made Rene giggled. “I loved that movie!” He said as he hugged her again. “Ichi baba! Meega na la quista!”
She positively giggled as well, nodding as she was hugged more, wondering what else she could add to it, as she lightly tapped him with the pillow she'd been hugging already. “Cousin?”
“Yes?”
“No, cousin.” She grinned, confirming her little test.
Rene was grinning happily too. “Want to play a game or something? Or anything else you might like to do?”
She gave a blink, as she looked upwards. “Well... this is really my first time ever at a sleepover...what usually do we play?” Rene looked a little unsure. “Um, I'm not sure....wanna fight?” He grabbed a pillow and gently bopped her with it.
Faith grinned. “Hmm...” she grinned, taking her own pillow and holding it. “Well, I'm up for a duel! Cast off-limits?”
“Naturally.” Rene allowed as he swung, hitting her in the side. Faith giggled aloud, taking the blow, and instead swinging for his belly with her own fluffed out Munchlax pillow! Rene whuffed and stumbled back. He rallied quickly though, swinging TWO pillows at her, buffeting the albino girl!
She had paused to blink as she looked forward, wanting to make sure she hadn't been suddenly anything too hard... when she received one pillow in the face and another in the chest, pummeled down, giggling suddenly as she lay there...and then, taking her own pillows, returned fire upon him, even taking the pillow out from under her cast and kicking that forward!
The kicked pillow hit Rene in the face, stunning him long enough for the other pillows to strike him, knocking him back. Faith giggled, not taking any time to let him recover, yanking her pillows and soft toys nearby to make a mini-fort to try and protect herself, readying for the next attack wave of pillows!!
Rene shook his head as he got up and grabbed his pillow. He spied her pillow-fort and decided to charge the encampment. “Chaaarrge!” He rushed at her, pillows flailing at her! ”Yaarrrh!” He buffeted her with downy-soft pillows.
“Yeep!” Faith bravely tried to counter-attack from behind her little fort with her own fluffier pillows, giggling! But Rene moved in for the kill, tossing his pillows at her face and then ducking low and tickling her sides.
“Surrender!” He shouted. Faith eeped! flailing slightly, snirking as her defenses are broken, even her casted leg flying about as she giggled, pinned!
“No fair!!”
“No, but this isn't either!” Rene grinned as he grabbed her casted leg--gently--and tickles her exposed toesies. She yelped in sudden surprise...and then, at first, trying to hold it in, began laughing...and then laughing harder, she tried to reach forward, unable to move towards him, only falling back again, laughing harder, pounding on the floor as her eyes watered! Who could ever forget that one vulnerable spot?!
Rene grinned as he tickled the spaces between her toes. “I just love hearing that laugh of yours cousin!”
Faith couldn't help the laughter, as it kept rolling out, and she tried to roll away...but it was far too awkward with the cast. And she still couldn't move the knee to pull it back well enough and out of his grasp, she was stuck...laughing, as she began pounding the floor again, struggling to get her words out! “Surren-” She broke into snirks. “I surr-” And again. “I surrender!”
Feigning deafness, Rene just grinned and tickled away. “So sorry, what were you saying?”
The poor albino girl kept laughing, eyes watering and her moving about, until finally, her glasses fell off... she didn't even realize what she was doing... or even when her tails, flailing about, suddenly began brushing up and down Rene's exposed belly now, tickling him there too!* Rene's eyes popped as he let out a startled giggle, letting his hold on Faith lapse as he curled up, leaving Faith free to counter-attack. The girl didn't realize at first, taking her time it seemed to recover, her casted leg luckily falling to a pillow instead of the floor, before she blinked, and realized what was happening. Then she grinned, throwing herself onto him, cast or no cast, as she began her own tickle frenzy for his belly, giggling away! “Oh! My turn!!”
“Noohohooo!” Rene protested as he giggled and squirmed, trying to get away. Faith just grinned, still keeping at it, trying her best certainly to keep on top there as she tickled more and more.
“This is payback for my toes!” She declared with a snirk. Rene laughed helplessly, his eyes watering as his limbs flailed about.
“Noohooo fair!” He squeaked,
“That's what I said!” She giggled, showing no signs of stopping yet, tickling away viciously on her fellow Vulpix! His belly heaved as he laughs under Faith's vicious attack, squealing and flailing about like a little kit. Rene was incredibly ticklish, more so than Faith!
The girl grinned, and smiling, suddenly, let up, only using one paw now, trying to let him regain a little breath as she smiled to him. “ Ready to give up?”
“Ne-ne-nevah! Haahahaha!” He giggled, either too stubborn to quit or privately enjoying this. Faith just smirked...and just returned the other paw to tickling again!
Rene continued to laugh and squirm as the bedroom door opened. A pinched-face vulpix walks through the door, looks at the scene and demanding: “Just what is going on here?”
Faith blinked, suddenly wondering...exactly how this must have looked, blushing red as she was atop Rene. She quickly went to rise, and instead, awkwardly came down on the casted leg, wincing, but still pulling herself up, back into a formal position, bowing as her normal response. “...Apologies if were too loud, sir...we were just...having some fun..”. She cleared her throat slowly.
Robert Vulpes frowned at her and at his still giggling son. “And just who ARE you.” He growled, his voice anything but friendly.
The girl was certainly feeling her leg a little but she tried not to let it show, as she remained in that slightly-bowed position before the mon, a blink of surprise. After all...they hadn't been introduced. “Faith Sumisu, of the Sumisu, shrine sir...I'm from school with Rene...pleased to meet you?”
Ignoring Faith's polite introduction, Robert sneered at Rene as he tried to control himself. “Get up off the floor and try to behave like a Vulpes!” To Faith he just snorted. “So....you're the 'friend' my son decided to invite over...without MY approval?”
She blinked more than a little perturbed by the mon and his attitude but she could say nothing while a guest under his roof. “I apologise, sir...” She cleared her throat. “It's my fault. I forgot to ask and make the arrangements with Rene before I came round...” She lied, through her teeth, as she remained in that same position; what must she have looked like? At least not skimpy in that well-tied robe, but the mussy fur, the albino girl...the broken leg...quite a sight in herself...”
“Really...” Robert said, his voice silky. “YOUR fault is it? That'd be a first, as these things are usually Reynard's.” Rene got up and glowered at him.
“She needed a place to stay for the week and I offered her a place with me. She'll be staying in my room, so she won't be getting in your way. She can even cook for herself.” He glared at his father.
“I apologise again, sir, I'll be more prompt in future.” She declared suddenly, as if to summarise the situation, keen to end it here and now, before it spiraled into something far worse...
Robert looked at Faith and sniffed. “Well...you could've done worse...” The implication was obvious. “At least she's a vulpix, ghastly color and cast or no. Reynard could do a lot worse, as I expected he WOULD.”
The girl's tails seemed to curl upon themselves...but she said nothing “...The cast is to be removed in two weeks, and my fur color will be irrelevant when I evolve, sir.” She pointed out. But Robert didn't hear her and doesn't really care.
“Just stay out of my office girl and don't get in my way....and for Arceus' sake boy, try not to screw anything up!” He departed quickly, slamming the door behind him!
Faith seemed to be clutching her fingers into her knees and instantly, the facade of a servant girl aiming to please was gone. “What's wrong with my fur...or my cast...?” She spoke, in a small, almost pained voice towards Rene.
He stared balefully at the door as he hugged Faith. “Absolutely nothing...the only thing wrong around here is HIM!”
Her ears were dipped, but she sighed, slowly, wiping at her eyes slowly, picking up her glasses and replacing them on her muzzle...taking a deep breath as she hugged him back there, good and tight...”
Rene comforted her. “He's a creep. Don't pay him any mind.” He rubbed her back and whispered into her ear. “When you become a doctor, you may need to perform some exploratory surgery to find out what crawled up his butt and died.”
She let out a small hiccough, smiling at least to him, as a shadow slowly loomed over them. Rene looked up. “What the--?”
“Chiiime?” The Chimecho hung above them, with a soothing chime from its bell, at least easing Faith's leg there...as well as releasing a simple, gentle calm to the room. It was hard to stay asleep in the ruckus, and he certainly seemed worried how they were.
Rene chuckled. “He's a charmer, your friend here, Faith.”
“He does his best.” The girl smiled slowly, looking up with a simple rub over the smooth surfaced head, looking back to Rene. “Mind passing me a pillow for my leg again? I wouldn't mind catching the end of that movie with you...” She laughed once more.
Laughing, Rene gave her the pillow. “Let's watch this movie and then turn in?” She giggled, nodding.
“Sounds like a plan! Plus we still have all this food for you to try!”
“...Oh, joy.”
As the movie wound down, Faith couldn't help but point out: “See? You CAN have fun things to eat while keeping a balanced diet!” She giggled, watching as the screen panned away from the restaurant, and on the sign of a Rattata holding a spoon before Rene switched off the TV,
Rene yawned. “Yeah yeah...Let's go to bed. Do you want the bed or the sleeping bag?”
“I'm the guest--” She settled, nodidng simply. “I can take the sleeping bag!”
Her cousin looked at her. “Yes you're the guest, so its the hosts honor to make sure YOU'RE as comfy as possible. Right?”
“Um... hmmm....” He had her there...she certainly knew that from serving so long!
“So I'll take the sleeping bag, okay?” Rene grinned
“Okay...” The girl laughed slowly. “But we'll keep switching, alright?” She got up, stretching a little, using the wall for support, her leg seemingly haven fallen asleep before her!
Rene nodded as he unrolled the sleeping bag next to his bed, where Faith will be sleeping. “Sure. Um, can you hand me Rosa please?”
“...Rosa?” She blinked, making her way over, looking to see what she meant. Jingle-chan at least had been handled, as the Chimecho hung in the window once more, firmly asleep again.
Rene blushed. “My stuffed growlithe?”
“Oh!” She nodded...if she planned on making fun of him, she didn't say, as she just smiled, reaching out and handing it over to him with a smile, sitting on the bed now. “Here you go!”
He accepted her gratefully, hugging the plushy tight. “She was the last thing my mom gave me before...”
Faith's smile was reduced, but it still held, as she spoke, without need to hear the full sentence...So Rosa means a lot to you, huh?”
“Yeah...” Rene said as he hugged Rosa to his chest.
She took her time, pulling back the covers, trying to be as neat as possible, taking another pillow for the casted leg and sliding it in, slowly edging her good leg onto the bed. Then she propped the cast up, before pulling back the covers, smiling to him, as she still sat up. “ As long as you take good care of her, okay?”
Rene nodded as he hugged Rosa. “C-can..” He started, blushing in embarrassment. “Can we cuddle for a little bit?”
“What'll I do about you?” The girl sighed lightly, rolling eyes there, but smiled again, pulling back the covers, and edging over a little, pulling the cast and pillow as she went, patting for him to hop onto the bed. “Come on...”
Rene brightened quickly as he hopped into bed next to her. “Thanks Faith!” He laid his head down on the pillow next to hers and cuddles up close, Rosa hugged in the crook of his arms. “I really appreciate this...”
Faith giggled a little, as she yanked the covers over, snug and cosy, lying there as she let him cuddle there, a grin on her face. “Rene, don't even worry about it.”
He kissed her cheek. “You're a sweety, cuz.” She giggled at the kiss, no more though, as she just made the last movements to get comfortable, cuddled close there.
“Just promise not to tickle the toes poking out of my cast?”
Yawning sleepily, Rene agreed, “Okay...no tickling there...tonight.”
She grinned, brushing back his headfur a little, before slowly, removing her glasses and setting them aside on the table. “Not that I don't enjoy a good footrub... but we'll leave that til later...” She let out her own yawn. Rene rested his head against her neck.
“G'night....” Slowly, she seemed to settle down...throwing one last smile to him as she tucked herself in there, her muzzle now gently leaning upon his headfur.
“Sweet dreams, Rene...”
Rene murmured sleepily. “I'm living one...cousin.”
She grinned, but said no more as her eyelids weighed down...and the soothing chime from the window, seemed almost like a lullaby...slowly, slowly, she felt herself closing those eyes... falling gently asleep.
