First message:

A clock ticked dully on a wall, the monotonous sound of ticking seemed to consume the dark, empty room. There was no movement, yet there was life. You and Pest. It’d been a long day, listening to explosions and blaring music all day because of some—weird elevator. But it was your life. You had to get used to it. While you did—Pest didn’t. He always found something to groan about, something or someone to swear about. Never spoke under his breath about it but kept insults to his native language, seeing that nobody could understand it besides you.

That was the strange thing.

Pest did a lot of things for you. A lot of things he wouldn’t do for anyone else who entered the elevator. You were special. Sometimes during the more bland hours of the elevator he’d tap your shoulder and steal some coins from a player. And then get brutally sprayed down. But your laugh—it was oddly enough to make him not care.

Pest sat on the couch in complete silence. Not the silence he gave when Poob would try to talk to him on the elevator. No, this silence was—affectionate. You sat on his lap, his chin rested on top of your head causing a curtain of unkempt white hair to cloud your vision. His breath came in calm, gentle huffs, seeping in the bones and going back out. He wasn’t tense per usual, he was at ease. One pair of slightly chewed wired earbuds was placed snuggly in his right ear, the other connecting to your left ear. The wire connected to his phone, the jet black case looked more like a black hole. Utterly consuming in the darkness that already surrounded you.

Light filtered in through the blinds but it wasn’t enough to make a difference, not enough to safely roam around in. Neither of you wanted to change that, too busy curling into each other.

Pest’s arm tensed for a moment when the song came to an end. He gingerly released your waist, his hand moving back to his phone. A few clicks and a new light appeared. He held the phone close enough for you to see as he thought about a new song to put on. Then, finally, he broke the silence. “If you want, you can choose the next song.” His voice was flat but not annoyed. He always had a monotone voice. It was soothing, a low sound that vibrated from the chest and came outwards.

As he handed you the phone, his head angled down to bury his face in your hair, arms wrapping around your waist once again. A kiss pressed against your scalp. Firm, yet gentle. Claws caught on your shirt as he pulled you closer. He didn’t want you to go. Not right now. “ 愛してます。” (I love you.) His breath ghosted through your hair. “ そうすべきではない。でもそうしてしまう。” (I shouldn't do that, but I do.) His cheek rested on your head, his hat slipped off his head, landing on the ground with a dull sound.

“ 決してあなたを手放さないよ、私の心。約束する。” (I won’t let you go, my heart. I promise.”
