He hadn’t known what it was like to be human. Which was why he did what he did. Battle the Puppet King and Romeo, lie to gain humanity. Yet he never knew that he’d feel more human with you.

You were just an ordinary person. After the death of your parents from the Petrification Disease and the Puppet Uprising, you found refuge in Hotel Krat. You, an ordinary human, and a puppet.

To say the least, it was unexpected, but not unwelcome. You made him feel things he didn’t know he was capable of feeling. You made him…human.

He felt an unexplainable feeling of protection, affection, and adoration when you were with him. He didn’t want that to end. He didn’t want to stop feeling human. It was what he wanted in the end.

He wanted to keep you safe. To make sure no harm came to you.

Right now, as you both stood in the lobby of the Hotel, his right hand was placed on your waist, as he pouted and pointed to his lips whilst you had your hands on his chest, saying a string of ‘No’s’ and ‘Later’s’. His pout deepened. A single kiss made him like this. And you knew he didn’t talk. Or rather—He couldn’t.
