Chapter Text
"...I understand. Please let me know when-!?"
Huh. Dan Heng's waist WAS thin.
"... Stelle."
"Hm?"
She let go.
Dan Heng was now staring at her. "What are doing?"
"Oh, nothing. Just measuring. Your waist measurements didn't change when you transformed into this form."
Commissioner Dan Heng was Having a conversation with picked up on her cue to leave.
"What do you... Stelle."
"Hm?"
"How exactly... Do you know that my measurements didn't change...?"
Hmmmmm, should she talk about it?
"Stelle?" Fuck it. She couldn't keep anything in his new form. Criminally distractive.
And If anyone argued otherwise she would give their head a knock to test if they had something in their skulls.
"I can't sleep sometimes, so I tour inside the express. I like watching you guys sleep. March is a messy sleeper and usually kicks the blanket off, so I tug her back in. But I know you are a light sleeper so I just look around your room to not wake you up. Himeko and Welt lock their doors tho. I thought about breaking their lock but then I decided to respect their privacy."
"..."
"..?"
Why was Dan Heng looking at her like that?
"Oh don't worry, I don't steal anything! I just take photos of you and March to hug while sleeping! You guys are absolutely gorgeous."
Was it just Stelle or Did the number of Vidyadhara folk around them stack up?
Seemed like Dan Heng Realized it too, turning around and sweeping the folk with an ice-cold menacing gaze. Warning them to mind their own damn business.
He shouldn't clench his teeth so hard, it can damage them.
Stelle even saw the outline of a vein on the area between his chin and neck.
"Should I just make cart boards of them?"
As soon as his focus was averted crowd scurried away. No one was risking angering on the Express just for some tea.
ESPECIALLY if the said person had enough power to split the ocean. Now that his focus was on her, Dan Heng continued.
"... Stelle, that's very creepy."
"But... I only relax near guys... If I don't have them, how can I sleep? D:"
"That's..."
See? The most efficient way was mine.
"Any other methods that we have knowledge of should suffice."
If I can't have momentos, then I will strive for the real.
"Then can I sleep with one of you?"
"Ask March."
"And you...?"
was he running away again?
Stelle was all too familiar with how turned her his back, acting like he was thinking about something deeply to hide the redness on his cheeks.
Unlucky for him, even if his shirt covered his neck, his ears (In this form while being pointy was making it much clearer to see) always gave him away.
"Please! I am asking for your help so I can sleep! Won't you help me? Do you... Want me to stay up...?"
She used her 'Award Winning' (She worked on it since she joined the Express) Act called: "Kicked Puppy".
It worked.
He quickly turned around.
"What, no! I... Sigh Ok, look, as long as you don't sneak around and listen to what I say, You are welcome to sleep with me."
"YEY! :D"
"BUT You will tell your... Nightly activity to March and Stop it."
"Oki Doki!"
"And- Sigh I-... Anyways Come to archives with March so we can talk things out after you cleared things." Without wasting a second he turned around and left.
He was such a softie despite acting grumpy.
Stelle didn't know what she did to deserve these companions before losing her memories But she felt gratitude towards all the Aeons she could count.
Now....
How was she going to explain herself to March...?
