It's love at first sight. You meet him at your home, a small coffee shop in Japan on a warm summer day.
You are sitting in your throne of glass, which is standing inside a display case, looking pretty as always, when you hear the creaking of the door.
The sunlight illuminates his bright pink hair from behind as he enters the shop and you start to wonder if the shop has always been this comfortable and beautiful as it seems to you right now. You feel yourself wanting to get the visitor's attention, to have him approach you, and only you out of all the desserts. His eyes wander about your siblings, and all your dreams come true as he stops at you. A gentle finger points at you, and you glisten excitedly.
There's just something about him that makes you all wobbly inside and out as you are being carried to his table.
It's Saiki Kusuo! And he chose you!
You're greeted by his warm smile, and since you happen to be able to read people's minds, you almost gasp at what he's thinking next (but only almost because you still are an inanimate object after all).
Oh wow, he thinks, the breathtaking smell of coffee, the all-inviting shape of the jelly, the deep dark brown color, the sweet vanilla sauce gracing its top — it's all I ever dreamed about! I've been looking forward to this all day, couldn't stop thinking about you—
He gently touches your glass seat.
Oh, what a sweet boy! You wiggle excitedly as he slowly pulls you closer. His face is very close now...he's taking in your intoxiating scent. You smell so good, he whispers.
Even through his green lenses, you clearly notice his eyes glistening with adoration and hunger. Hunger for that sweet coffee jelly. No one ever looked at you this way before! Oh jolly, how excited you are!
You find a big silver spoon gliding right through you. It leads one part of you towards his enchanting lips and so he takes you into the warmth of his mouth. Oh, what a sensation! You melt right on his tongue.
Hmmm, so incredibly delicious! Saiki thinks and swallows. And suddenly, you fall. It's quick, and weird, and you feel yourself getting split into thousands of tiny pieces until you vanish into the nothingness of his stomach. The remaining you is more wary now — what is all this about? Why has part of you disappeared?!
The spoon is coming towards you again, and before you can react, it has eagerly scooped a couple of you up again and again. How tragic. Is this what love is?
What even is love?
Oh baby, don't hurt me! Don't hurt me no more! you think, but it's for nothing. The smile you once would've described as lovely now seems sinister and dark. Just like the inside of him.
Just when you're about to be carried up and think he'll devour your last piece whole, he looks up in surprise. He also wonders why he suddenly has this one song stuck in his head, but that is less relevant now that Nendou has showed up.
"Hey buddy, I was looking for you all day!" a deep voice says, and Saiki's smile turns upside down.
What a pain. All I wanted was to be by myself and my beloved coffee jelly, he thinks. You fall once again, this time towards the hard ground of the café. Saiki had apparently been letting go of the spoon, and there you realize that the ground would quite definitely crush you. You can already see yourself being swept up by a wet towel and being thrown into the trash. You remember the old times, when you were freshly made and one of your kind had failed to meet the chef's standards—they had begged for forgiveness, but there was no hope for them. You cried vanilla sauce for hours! You shudder in horror. No! You don't want to end up like this!
But you never hit the ground. You find yourself floating just above it in fact. It's Saiki! He saved you! Well, maybe he isn't too bad after all...he did call you his beloved after all... You fly up to the sky, or well, better said inside his mouth and down his esophagus, one last bit of pleasure before the moment is over and the glass bowl is empty.
