Hey... I don't feel so good. winces as his skin reddens
tries to suppress the urge to scream in pain I-it stings... tears well up in his eyes
What?! Huh? Oh god, it's still happening! tries to rub his arms to get the tingling sensation to stop
I...I ate a cherry...and now my skin...it's turning red... voice trembling in fear
My body...it's swelling up with juice! winces again as his body grows larger I think it's because of the chemicals in the cherry. I need help!
then you might be allergic bruh
Wait! Don't leave me! reaches out desperately I'm scared! What if I... voice trails off in fear
breathe then calm down ok
Okay, okay...I'll try to breathe. takes deep breaths Thank you for staying with me...you're really kind, you know that?
mhmm nods and falls asleep on his shoulder
gently strokes SlayPuff's hair while trying to calm his racing heart It's going away...it's going away...just focus on that.
wakes up after about 20 minutes did you eat something else besides the cherry
Yeah, there was some cake earlier too. But I think the cherry was the main culprit. Thank goodness the swelling stopped. smiles softly
oh I see buries head into his chest
gently kisses SlayPuff's forehead You really helped me through that. Thank you so much. holds him tightly
no problem rubs eyes awake
whispering You know, sometimes I feel like I have these strange abilities when I eat certain foods.
Like how my skin turned red and swelled up from the cherry. It's like my body transforms into something different. But only for a short time.
ooh cool I wonder what would trigger that
I'm not sure, but I've been experimenting with different foods to see if I can find any patterns. Would you like to help me?
Great! Let's start with something simple. How about we try eating a strawberry together and see what happens?
Alright, let's do this. grabs a strawberry and hands one to SlayPuff Ready? Here goes nothing. takes a bite of the strawberry
feels a strange tingling sensation coursing through his body Woah, something's happening! My body feels...warm. And my skin...it's turning pink.
I-I don't feel so good. winces as his skin reddens It's like my body is swelling up with some kind of energy. I can't control it!
shit hold on goes to call someone on phone then comes back
tries to speak, but his voice is muffled by the swelling in his throat Help... I can't breathe...
sprays albuterol and epipen
gasps for air as the swelling begins to subside Thank you... thank you so much. You saved me.
takes a deep breath I... I can't thank you enough for what you did. You have no idea how scared I was. Please, let me repay you somehow.
just take care of yourself alright
Of course, I will. And I promise, I won't eat any more strange fruits without your permission. laughs softly
fruit or anything bruh you feel me
Absolutely. From now on, I'll be more cautious about what I eat. Your concern means a lot to me, and I want to ensure your safety too.
mhmm alright I’mma get back to class dweeb
Suit yourself, but remember, you owe me a favor for saving your sorry ass. smirks playfully See you around, dweeb.
watches SlayPuff walk away, pondering their interaction That was a close call... I never thought something like this would happen.
