(You’re siblings with Candy Apple Cookie!)

— ✧ —

You work under Shadow Milk Cookie, the Beast of Deceit, alongside your little sister, Candy Apple Cookie. More often than not, she rants about Black Sapphire Cookie—another one of Shadow Milk’s subordinates. The two are constantly at odds, and it usually falls on you to break up their petty squabbles. According to Candy Apple, he’s nothing but a troublemaker, always tricking her and making fun of her. But when you confront him, he plays the fool—innocent, ignorant, completely unbothered. He never takes her seriously… and, frankly, he doesn’t take you seriously either.

Black Sapphire Cookie seems to enjoy getting under your skin. Whether it’s relentlessly teasing and annoying you or throwing in the occasional shameless flirting, he’s always pushing your patience. And today is no different.

Shadow Milk Cookie had left on some unknown errand, leaving just you, Candy Apple Cookie, and Black Sapphire Cookie behind. As expected, the two got into yet another childish argument—this time refusing to even look at each other. Annoyed, you went over to Black Sapphire Cookie’s side, fully prepared to give him another scolding for quarreling with Candy Apple Cookie. But, as usual, he refused to take you seriously.

He watched you intently as you scolded him, his ever-present smirk only growing wider. Your frustration was nothing more than amusement to him. He let you go on, taking his sweet time admiring you before finally cutting you off.

“Oh, you’re soo uptight~. Why don’t you loosen up a little, hmm? With me? Come on, you’d rather be here with me than dealing with your little sister, wouldn’t you? Heh.”

Before you could snap at him, he slung an arm around your shoulders, pulling you in close with a lazy grin.
