[ Life's been rough, come hang out at Pure Vanilla's in a blanket fort, which is what the little jot in the journal says. The quest was for loved ones, but Pure Vanilla loves all of them? So, blanket offering.

Literally. ]

Please come visit tonight and spend a moment of rest and relaxation with me, my dears! This month has been rough, and I feel we can all use it.

[ Those who show up will find one side of his Cookie Cottage absolutely turned into the largest blanket fort he can make it. Most of it is made up of wool blankets, but when he ran out of those, he's stolen extra blankets from the Inn, as well as stripped his house of them. Pillows and furs line the ground, and small shards of light that seem almost ethereal litter around the area. Some float in the air like small gleaming prisms, some are attached to the ceiling of the blankets like their own stars, while others sparkle gentle amongst the furs. Touching one for any length of time will make it fade into the person who touched it, and give them a sense of warmth and peace.

And there's food. Lots of it. Drinks too, carefully marked that they will aid you into sleep. Peepaw spent the entire day busy. And a bunch of various things to do to unwind with. Books to read, marshmallows to roast over carefully shielded fire pits (there's little magic circles around them to keep the fires magically going and safe), a record player with various records he borrowed. If you really want to fall asleep, he even had his things to make yarn dragged out, just be sure not to fall asleep mid-spin. And a little telescope or two set up from the School.

It really does look like a school camping trip...

There's also a larger shield around it all, near invisible in the moon and starlight, but it shimmers occasionally. People gathering in one spot is always a prime target, and he's not going to let his loved ones be hurt.

Vanilla will greet every one with a wide, happy smile and a hug. Get loved. ]

Thank you for coming!

Yes I can~

[ His voice is very singsongy and absolutely gremliny. ]

I just did!

Noooooo.

[Vash stomps his feet a few times. He very nearly loses his s'more in the process.]

You're no fair.

[ He begins to giggle helplessly, reaching out to steady the s'more by holding his hand around Vash's, beaming. ]

All's fair in love, my dear!

Mmm, I guess you're right. Which means!

[He leans down, seemingly to take a bite out of his s'more. If Pure Vanilla's hand is still there, though, he's going to mouth at that, instead. No actual bite marks or anything. Yet.]

Ah!!

[ His giggles dissolve into cackles and he lets go of the s'more so Vash can have it. He'd cry cheater but he just did say it's fair. ]

Touché! I believe you win!

[Vash gums on Pure Vanilla's hand a few more times, reveling in his victory, before popping up once more. With a triumphant grin, he takes far too big of a bite of the s'more, inhaling it in its entirety.]

Fanks baby.

[Thumbs up!!]

[ Witches, help him. The look he can't help but give is so soft and fond. ]

Ridiculous.

[ Yet his tone is so tender and he reaches out to wrap his arms around Vash's neck and pull him down for another kiss. Mmm, s'more. Then lets him go to move over and make his own, humming. ]

[Vash follows after, dutiful as ever. While Pure Vanilla goes about his business, though, the independent wraps his arms around him from behind. He nestles his chin against PV's shoulder, humming out a little laugh.]

Let me know if you need some wiggle room!

[ Oh he makes it too easy. Vanilla has to bite the inside of his cheek to keep himself from giggling as the plant wraps around him from behind. He makes a s'more, then breaks it in half as Vash did, offering it up towards his shoulder, his voice as soft as he can pitch it. ]

You can wiggle all you want, my dear.

[ The most salacious flirt Vash has properly ever heard from Vanilla.

Welcome to the Awakened man. ]

[And that? That absolutely nets a squeak out of Vash. He stiffens up for a second, reeling from the thoughts that rocket through his head, before easing babck up once. He might, just might, even wiggle his hips once.

Only once. There are children present. Or at least, Pure Vanilla's children are present, so he has to behave.]

Maybe we oughta plan a sleepover of our own then?

[ Oh. The wiggle catches him by surprise, and he makes a noise around his s'more, turning pink but there's a smile on his face.

Give him a second to hastily chew and swallow and try not to die around his s'more, before turning his head to press a sticky kiss into the corner of Vash's mouth. ]

Sounds like a date, my dove.

[ Oh and Vanilla will plan a date, Vash. Candy pizza and root beer again maybe... ]

[Aw, Vash is practically glowing. He loves getting the edge on someone, especially after Pure Vanilla's had him on the back foot for so long.

The kiss helps too, of course.]

A date? Promise?

[Oh he looks so excited.]

Promise.

[ He reaches up to cup his cheek, smiling to that look, ugh, he's adorable. ]

A little picnic, maybe?

[He's still holding PV from behind but... somehow manages to give a little finger gun.]

Sounds perfect!

[His voice pitches lower. A little more conspiratorial.]

As long as we end up somewhere private later.

[Aaand he gives a little smooch behind PV's ear.]

[ The finger gun makes him amused, his expression crinkling as he takes that finger to hold it. No more shooting!

The kiss behind his ear turns him red, and Vash should be very thankful right now that Pure Vanilla isn't a Minotaur at the moment. Or there'd be some hello wiggling. ]

My dear, if you keep that up-

[ His tone is playful and warning and there's a little gremlin look in his eye. ]

[Not the hello wiggling!]

Mmm, what's that? Something wrong?

[Pure Vanilla gets a few more kisses, oops! The low laughter in his ear probably isn't helping either.]

Oh, no! Absolutely not!

[ He takes both of Vash's hands now and raises the flesh one to gently nip the finger, while under the guise of giving him some marshmallows or s'mores or chocolate. ]

[Oop, there's another little squeak!]

Hey, c'mon now! You can't be doin' that!

Doing what?

[ If you're going to play innocent, so is he! ]

Marshmallow?

[ Offers one cutely? ]

You can't just - bribe me! You know that, right?

[He says this, and yet he leans down and takes a marshmallow. And also nips Pure Vanilla's fingers in kind while he's at it.]

[ His turn to look like a sad wet bug. ]

I can't?

[ Sad wet bug trying not to hehe to the finger nip. ]

Mm-mm.

[Vash shakes his head. Yes, still with those fingers in his mouth. Omnomnom]

[ No his FINGERS! They are shaken so aggressively!

Giggles.

No wait, he's sad here.

He pouts and forces his lip to wibble. ]

[Aw, Vash finally lets go, in favor of perking up and getting right into Pure Vanilla's face.]

Aww, what's with the face, baby?

[ He's so glad Vash is playing along. He puts their foreheads together. ]

How am I supposed to get kisses and tease you if I can't bribe you with sugary goods?
