Chapter Text
To say Shadow Milk Cookie has been giving him a little bit too much over time would be an underestimate.
He was genuinely overworking him at this point, coming into his room to give orders at midnight to morning.
Sapphire figured shadow milk is somewhat low on servants, but how could one like him have that type of problem?
Anyway, it was starting to take a toll on black sapphire, he now has to handle shadow milk random orders along with doing his rumors and making broadcasts.
It was causing Sapphire to spend late nights out in the world, making him lose countless amounts of sleep.
So he spent a good while searching for a solution when he came across talk of a potion maker, one that can make varieties of potions for people, just ask if he could make it for you, it seemed worth the shot.
So on one of his few days off, he went straight to where this potion maker lived, it was a bit far but nothing to him in hindsight.
Once Sapphire Cookie made it to the potion maker's home he suddenly felt nervous oddly, a servant of Shadow Milk Cookie was nervous about going into someone's home for help, it sounded so pathetic.
Making a distasteful grunt he pushes back the random nerves and knocks.
…
“I…perhaps-” Just when he was questioning if he had gone to the wrong place the door slid open, and his shoulders tensed, what if this person was some crazy witch?
Or even worse is a witch, that last part is nonsensical.
Thinks of the worst as the figure is revealed but upon opening all the way, black Sapphire's worries washed away.
He was tall, and his eyes were closed, he wore a big hat and a fluffy robe-like outfit.
Sapphire stares for a beat, Prune juice coughs into his gloved hand “And you are?”
Sapphire swallows straightening himself, letting his usual grin rest on his face “black Sapphire, I heard of you from others, you make helpful potions, right?”
That seemed to be the correct response cause his mood seemed to brighten.
“Yes! I'm prune juice, I do make fabulous ones I do say myself, come in” Prune juice moves aside letting sapphire into his home.
“So what do you need?” He questioned already reaching up to a shelf to take a circle-like shape vial off of it, turning back to face him with a small but welcoming smile.
“Something to help with sleeping, and another one for energy is all”
“Hmh very simple, I can do that in no time, You may allowed to stay and wait for it, well if you want to” Prune gestures to a small corner where a couch, coffee table, and lamp were.
Sapphire considers it, the male shows no evil content and frankly doesn’t look like he’ll harm him, with a slow breath he motions himself to sit on the couch and watch.
Little did he know he would end up sleeping right there.
Prune yawned it took him 2 hours to finish both potions he finally lifted his head towards the area where black Sapphire should be, and he couldn’t help but giggle, sapphire was leaning on the armrest of the couch head on his arm as quietly and almost silent snores released from his mouth.
Looks like he will be needing that energy potion now.
Prune will not lie to himself he was on high alert at the appearance of the fellow, having someone with sharp teeth and bat-like features come to your door isn’t a common occurrence.
But now, sapphire looked like a hibernating cub, strange comparison but its all Prune thought of.
Pacing over to him and tapping his shoulder a few times, it was enough to make Sapphire jolt awake.
Prune smiles “I’m done, you’re welcome back anytime, I hope you become a regular”
Sapphire just hums “Ah..” chuckling a little “You’ll be seeing me again, trust me” Sapphire pauses “Let me not forget payment-“
The taller one stops him “It’s fine, next time there will be a small payment needed though” Sapphire is stunned, the wheels ticking in his brain, he blushes and nods.
“Well of course” Sapphire didn’t fail to put up his confidence from his little slip-up of emotions, he stood up and took the bag the potions were placed in from prune juice, he was led to the door and was gone with some final goodbyes.
Sapphire grunts as he is a few feet away from the home, he doesn’t understand why someone as a potion maker is what makes his protected barrier around himself flutter, it’s silly, a follower of the great Shadow Milk Cookie shouldn’t be affected like this.
That barrier is his heart and the more he thinks the more pissed off he became.
Though so he thought, sapphire clenched the front of his chest over his clothes that now felt itchy and swallowed, maybe it was some magic Prune did on him, it had to be.
He stomps the dirt and begins a Portal to get back to Shadow Milk, knowing he already wasted enough time here.
Though he is missing the touch of prune juice, the male was afraid to admit that.
