"You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby
Hold it down, dare"
The song resonated in the whole department of the creature, he jumped, moved around and danced like he didn't give a damn about how good the neighbors were sleeping.
His fluffy hair bounced as he nodded his head at the rhythm of the song, his claws flew in the air and his legs were doing... Anything but keep the beat consistent.
Everything was going just great until he heard a knock... Huh, strange because the volumen was high as heaven.
The creature quickly got into more decent clothes, he doesn't have genitals but it's a habit that grew inside him since he lived his whole life surrounded by humans. He quickly went down-stairs and enthusiastically opened the door.
"Yes?"
No one... When he squinted his wided pupils down, he saw... A carved pumpkin? Weird. Maybe it was just a prankster, a really bad one because Noodlez LOVED spooky stuff!
He took the pumpkin and went up-stairs again and left the decoration on the bed and pressed the button on the speaker to keep playing the song. Demian kept dancing, totally absent-minded of the danger he brought to his house...
Suddenly the pumpkin started to drip something... Dark and dense. Spreading on the floor like a shadow of a door opening slowly... Demian kept moving around until his foot felt something wet and sticky under it... He saw the liquid.
"Ew, what the hell? I swore i've cleaned this room-"
His words were interrumpted when he suddenly saw how the substance started to form into a figure inside the pumpkin... A lemon-headed figure.
Suddenly, the liquid melted away from the body to reveal a monster! One who has a lemon head indeed.
It was very tall, with a rancid smell, big, juicy, purple-ish eyes with dripping blood, scribble pupils, a chubby body and rotten, human teeth with a smile that showed the most perversed desires in the world...
Noodlez looked up at the other creature with... fascination, he never saw one of these monsters in real life! Just in books, videogames or tv shows... But it was like looking at the mirror... A mirror that showed everything that he wanted to be at some point. Something in him woke up, something that was asleep for years and yearned to be waked.
The lemon-headed monster only started to chuckle in utter amusement, thinking that Noodlez was shaking in fear.
"Oh, poor little creature, never heard of me before? But don't worry, you'll be nothing but a snack now~"
He said in a sing-song tone as he suddenly grabbed Noodlez by the arm and was about to take a bite... The smaller creature blushed even more, this was going too far for him.
"WAIT!!"
He suddenly kicked the monster in the stomach as he fidgeted with his claws and looked away, his face flushing into a vibrant red.
"O-OW! You little..." A chuckle rumbled in his chest, thinking that Noodlez was defending himself until..
"T-this is going way too fast! Don't you think eating me is an... Intimate practice?... Besides that i don't want to die.."
"..."
Both of them went silent for a long time.
"Well, i eat everything and everyone so... I don't think so"
The monster said confused.
"Man-whore..."
Noodlez mumbled under his breath, something inside him spiking with intensity... Was it jealousy?
The bigger creature was laughing at this point, cleaning a tear of blood from his eye as he did.
"I'm not even a man, little one~"
Noodlez blushed at the point where his whole, totally white face turned red. Looking away to avoid the monster's gaze.
"So... What are you, then?"
The monster could be eating alive the little one alredy but it was fun to have someone to chat in a long while, someone who didn't run at the second he saw you.
"Hm, i'd tell ya but that isn't fun, isn't it? For now... You can call me... Hmmm... Monster"
He shrugged as Noodlez raised an eyebrow.
"Wow, how original.."
"Yeah, yeah, you don't have to compliment me, sweetheart~"
Noodlez just ignored how his own face was burning alive at this point by the nicknames.
"However, you don't have to eat me... There's a morgue near here, there's always fresh meat and knowing you, you'll be sneaky enough to enter.."
"Oh, my~ You also eat human meat? Who'd say that such a cute face would be just as perverse as i am"
"I'm not, at least i eat them when they're alredy dead not... Alive... I don't have the stomach for it."
"I believe you"
Noodlez sighed and kept playing the music as he motioned with his hands the door.
"Could you leave, please?"
Monster grinned even wider and offered his hand with only two fingers at Noodlez.
"Wouldn't you like to accompany me? I've been so lonely these nights, so miserable... Just like you"
Noodlez seemed to be flustered at the request... Is he really doing this? Following a total stranger to the morgue just to eat the rests of humans? Well, it's been a while since he had this action in his life... So he took his hand.. until..
"Wait, you've been watching me?- AGH!-"
He was suddenly grabbed outside the door and ran together towards the exit of the department.
"I've got longing and desire
My heart burns with forbidden fire
For a spooky
A spooky kind of love"
That song couldn't get out from Noodlez's head, even though it came from a terrible series but the soundtrack was amazing for him.
They ran together and Monster motioned Noodlez to hide when someone appeared in the streets, the little creature couldn't help but look at their hands holding... His whole body was burning alive at this point.
When they arrived into the morgue, Monster sneaked into a little window and dragged Noodlez with him.
When they started to eat like pigs together the rests of a human who just had the worse car crash you could imagine, a blonde started to yell at them.
"Hey! You two! How many times i've told you to stop getting here! And what are you eating?!"
Monster grabbed Noodlez by the hand again and ran away.
"What is she talking about?!"
Noodlez asked to Monster as he ran away with him, and he only chuckled.
"I can alredy have an idea~"
The blonde wasn't in the mood for chasing two idiots so she just turned on the light to keep checking the body, only to see the horrible state they left it in.
"What in the actual?..."
When they arrived to a little alleway, their heavy breaths was the only thing that both of them could hear... Their pupils were dilated and suddenly Noodlez started to puke all the rests of the poor human... Monster only laughed at him.
"You weren't joking when you said you had a delicate stomach!"
"Oh, shut up-"
Noodlez couldn't help but chuckle a little with him, he'd usually be mad but... He couldn't deny this was kind of fun, hell, all of this was fun. He hasn't felt like this in years... He let out a deep sigh and took out a pack of cigarrates, ligthting up one and offering to Monster.
"Oh, no thanks... I have to keep my voice perfect for singing."
"Wait... You sing? That's so rad!"
As Noodlez kept smoking, he tried to make a bit of conversation.
"So, if you sing... What kind of music you're into?"
"Eh, i don't know really... But the music from the 50's and 60's have a special place in my heart"
"Woah, i'm not really into it but i can admit they have something to admire!"
"Finally! Someone who gets me!"
Both of them chuckled.
"Well, i don't really have a musical taste, y'know? I only listen what sounds cool to me..."
"Ooh, interesting..."
"Yeah..."
...
Silence brought up again and then Monster sighed and streched his back. Shaking his hand with Noodlez's.
"Well, it was a pleasure to meet ya~"
He kissed the claw he had there and walked away into the darkness...
Noodlez... Couldn't leave this just like this! He made one of his first friends in his whole life!
"W-wait!"
Monster turned around.
"W-when... Will we meet again?"
The bigger creature chuckled.
"I don't know, the destiny has a strange way to work...
But don't worry, we'll meet again, don't know when, don't know where... But i'm sure we'll meet again~"
He said in a sing-song tone again, totally disappearing into the darkness.
...
Noodlez felt how something in him changed forever, it didn't just woke up...
He needed to know more about him..
And soon.
