Takeo didn’t think too much when he saw M-21 curled up by the sofa, though he was making a soft growling sound. M-21 didn’t usually growl, and this had a soft croon to it.
“What are you doing?” Takeo asked, curious, as he walked over.
When M-21 looked over, Takeo stopped when M-21′s eyes went wide, panic filling his face. But M-21 didn’t back away like he was afraid, his eyes snapping to something in his arms. Takeo saw a purple blur as M-21 whisked it away from his sight, hiding it from him. What was…? Takeo wanted to ask, but maybe he shouldn’t push. If-
The door burst open. “Heeey, I’m back with the next instal - oh, hey, Takeo!” Tao grinned, also holding something behind his back. “Wanna see what I just finished?”
“All right…?” Takeo should have been worried, but he was still trying to puzzle out M-21′s reaction to seeing him.
Tao draped himself over the back of the sofa and held out a…toy? above M-21′s head. “Ta daaa! He’s all yours!”
It was human shaped, with a head of black hair and a lone white stripe near the eyes. If that wasn’t recognisable enough, the doll was also wearing a black one-shoulder top.
M-21′s expression at seeing the doll was one of awe, his eyes wide and his mouth open. M-21 reached up and took the Tao doll from Tao, treating it as if it was something that belonged to Frankenstein, he was so careful how he touched it.
When M-21 brought the doll to his chest, there was another doll there alongside the Tao one. One with purple hair and wearing a blue and white striped top.
M-21 nuzzled the two dolls, breathing deeply as he did the same soft growl Takeo heard him make earlier.
M-21 had been hiding the Takeo doll from him? Takeo looked at Tao, who was taking a video of M-21. He tapped Tao on the shoulder to get his attention and then signed, “He was trying to hide the doll from me.”
Tao’s eyebrows quirked up. A cable slithered out from under Tao’s sleeve to hold his phone in place as Tao signed, “Really? I don’t think…” Tao’s hand slowed and then covered his mouth to smother his laughter. “I told him not to tell you something, so I guess he interpreted it as trying to hide the plushie from you.”
Takeo raised an eyebrow. “You thought I’d be insulted by it?” That didn’t sound like him. The doll was a good likeness from what Takeo could see.
Tao stuck his tongue out at him. “Nah, my work’s awesome!” Tao exhaled. “Okay, fine. I maaay have used one of your shirts to make sure the plushie smelled like you.”
Takeo blinked and looked over at M-21 again, who was still breathing deeply, his nose pressed into the dolls. Oh. Was that what he was doing?
“I thought he needed something to remind him of us while we’re out,” Tao signed.
Takeo nodded. That should help. “Then you owe me a shirt.”
Tao’s gaze slid away and Takeo waited. “I might have used up the rest of my salary making the dolls…”
Of course. “Then when we next get paid.”
Tao nodded. His eyes drifted past Takeo’s shoulder and then he brightened. “And I’ve just had the best idea!”
Before Takeo could ask, Tao had already ran off.
…Ah. He’d have to wait a few days before he found out what Tao’s new project was.
M-21 was growling ‘cuddles’ at the plushies.
They’re signing so not to disturb M-21 or make him self-conscious of what he’s doing in front of others.
