Sun's plans for escape have to be put on hold due to a 'fun' new development but at least he got to cuddle some cats

((Happy New Year! 🎊))

——-

?? Multiverse 

Sun was growing an irrational hatred for his name, mainly due to the number of times this idiot kept spouting it. He was seriously considering changing it, unsure if he would ever be able to hear his name without thinking of this tortuous moment.

"C'mon. This isnt that bad. You loved cuddles before, starlight"

The cutesy nicknames still made him grimace, wisely deciding to forgo his cat form in fear of their reaction. They were already far too clingy in this form a wise choice, as he was fully prepared to run when they put him down shivering at the thought of how bad they would be if they ever saw him as a cat.  

Stalker had been bad enough in his opinion, suddenly deeply missing his consistent no.1 stalker, as they could at least be bullied to his way eventually.

The only thing that worked on this menace was silence but weirdly they didn't react as strongly as he remembered in the past, instead they looked more than happy to chatter on about all the 'fun activities' they could do together.

He tapped the trinkets on his scarf as he tuned them out, snickering as he remembered the look on his returned leech face, when they sensed another Creators magic on him.

He was so glad he still had ways to irritate them.~

..Although, he didn't like the way they eyed his scarf, fully prepared to fight them with his bare hands if they dared to touch his trinkets. He did not like people touching his stuff, mentally freezing when he realised he sounded far too much like a Creator for his liking.

Did his early years away from the Tree of Feelings, really influence him that much...?

He cursed stalker yet again for freezing him in this state forever a child in body and mind , unsure if he would ever grow out of these habits but was mainly annoyed that it was associated with Creators of all things . 

He was also deeply irritated how slow his magic was recovering, wondering what was wrong with it. He didn't feel up to examining the bond right now either, blatantly ignoring the weird tugging coming from it.

He had far too many things on his plate right now, not needing that mess on top of it!

"..you know, you feel much easier to sense now. It's strange but not unpleasant. It does mean it will be easier to track when you get lost again, sunny"

Sun jaw nearly dropped at that piece of information, a new sense of dread overcoming him and plans being rapidly reformed and discarded.

He bet it was the stupid bonds fault, still not knowing nearly enough about it for his liking.

Did being connected to a Creator change something about him? What were all the benefits to it? What did this mean for him?!

So many questions that were still unanswered, as he had been focused on the more important parts when he first discovered it, like if it was going to hurt him or be detrimental to him in the long run .

He was practical but he had obviously messed up, clearly missing some vital information...or more likely, the idiot Creator had forgotten to tell him.

...This bond was turning out to be more of a pain than it was worth in his opinion, truly considering just snapping it right now. He would have, if he hadn't been warned of the dire consequences of doing it wrong, not keen at the possibility of going insane.

He sighed at how difficult life was becoming for him, grumpily poking the leech who was still holding him until they got the silent message and fed him magic, wanting to recover as soon as possible.

"You are finally accepting my magic! You truly have grown"

..he had forgotten he hadn't known how to eat magic until he met that insane winged Dream, socket twitching at Ink somehow taking this interaction as 'bonding'.

He desperately needed an instruction manual for dealing with other people, especially annoying stalkers as he was clearly doing something wrong, if they kept coming back to him...

Sun had to say, he was kind of creeped out when he was taken here.

He knew for a fact he had only mentioned liking cats once in Inks presence, coming rather close to biting a random monster who complimented the stupid leech on their child still disliking to being referred to as such . 

He still needed to think of a suitable nickname for his latest inconvenience, refusing to give them the satisfaction of using their actual name out loud.

'Stalker' was obviously taken, 404 truly deserving the title even if they had been slacking, by not finding him after his latest kidnapping.

..perhaps he should just stick with 'leech' for now..?

It did suit them with how they seemed to be sucking the life from him, with their stupid 'bonding' exercises.

He glared suspiciously at leech when they suddenly put him down on a circular carpet, his annoyance short lived when he was passed a cat, at this point too tired to muster any rage when he realised that it was clearly based off of Ink.

..but the cat in his arms was so soft and fluffy and it was very hard to stay mad at it he also wanted comfort, so tired at how he kept ending up in situations like this. His eyelights softened when it let out a meow and began to purr, the lack of utter nonsense being spewed at him a nice change as well.

He stared at it intently before finally cuddling them close, glad it wasn't an ink construct this time, feeling so very frustrated that he had so many things he had to look out for nowadays.

Living with his co-Guardin might have sucked but at least those days had been relatively simple...

"-make sure you feed them enough. The bond might help passively and be good for stability but you need more active measures as well"

He discreetly looked up, observing a dog monster holding a child, talking to the leech. When he saw them finally look away, he tried to Fresh Poof out, letting out a hiss of pain under his breath when a weird shock went through his body.  

He took a deep breath, trying to think logically and not panic at his emergency option failing, knowing he didn't have to rush to escape just yet.

At least they were nothing like X-Gaster with their creepy ideas, still planning to avoid that type as best as he could in the future.

He tried to comfort himself by remembering that he had grown more tolerant of pushy monsters that was a lie , so he was sure he could deal with this one for a bit longer.

..if they took him to the Doodle Sphere though all bets were off, not wanting to be stuck in another time distorted place.

He did not want to spend years with them again!

He was still wary that they had not brought him back to his original multiverse but didn't want to bring it up, in case they suddenly decided it was a 'great idea'.

He had been enjoying wandering the omniverse by himself and sure he might hate a few a majority of the people he met, but he also had some fun. All the new magic he discovered was very useful, his shifting still his favourite by far.

He made a face when a massive cat lumbered over, the blue and white fur making it blatantly obvious who it was supposed to be. He was about to shoo it away when it abruptly body slammed the clingy cat off his lap, before sitting there instead, purring up a storm.

"...good stalker cat. If only stalker could be even a drop as useful"

He slowly began petting them, their petty action unwillingly amusing him and greatly deserving of praise in his books. He could almost forget about leech like this, with it just him and the cats.

The quiet was appreciated, the lack of monsters or humans was rather nice, especially with being unable to leave when he wanted to. He tried to discreetly spark his magic in his hand again, sighing at the utter failure. So many plans now had to be thrown out, guessing he was going to have to go back to basics again.

He was sure he could do it, after all he had spent a good chunk of his life not knowing exactly what he was doing.

How hard could it be to do things the more 'human' way?

He giggled in delight when the prettiest cat he had ever seen padded over, the white sparkly fur adorable but it was the cute tiny rainbow wings on their back that truly drew his attention. He pet the much smaller cat, who had ever changing star eyes, snickering when they batted the cat on his lap when it hissed.

He was very amused at how subdued stalker cat became after.

"You are definitely great. Shame i don't know who you are based off but I bet you wouldn't try and trick me"

He cooed at the kitten sized animal, purring as they rubbed against him and let him pet them. It's a shame he couldn't take them with him but he didnt trust his latest nuisance at all to not 'accidentally' lose anything, that would cause his attention to stray away from them.

They were such a toddler, bristling when leech suddenly snapped a photo of him, before going back to chatting to the dog monster.

One day he would have his own companion, one who he would love and wouldn't leave him or be as annoying as the rest of the beings he had to endure.

"What have you got there, sunny? Where is the cat I found for you gone..? Oh, there they are! Here you go. They are much better to cuddle then the other ones"

He sighed in pure annoyance when Ink crouched beside him and shattered his brief moment of peace.

He frowned when stalker cat was pushed away and replaced by the cat Ink again , unsurprised when the blue and white cat suddenly 'vanished' from his vicinity.

He was very amused when leech tried but severely failed to shoo off the rainbow winged cat away from him though, snickering when the small cat began darting between leeches legs.

He was really liking the colourful cat, especially when they 'accidently' tripped Ink before sitting on their back and purred smugly.

They were truly something he aspired to be like, giggling as many more ideas came to mind on how to deal with his latelet irritant.
