"Awwww cmon Inv! This would mean I'm yours and only yours!" I rub my face further into Invs chest while saying this.
"B-bu Joey…"
I stop my face rubbing and look up at Inv again who's looking down at me with a concerned look. His face still has a bright red to it whilst the rest of his skin is slowly turning back to its normal blue which makes me happy seeing he's starting to feel better!
"I'm just joking Inv…" I say to Inv.
After saying this though I feel a smug grin spread across my face.
"Unless you don't want it to be a joke~" I say in a playful manner.
When Inv hears this I see his face and body flare into a mixture of red and pink. Seeing my goal achieved of cheering Inv up I feel a sense of accomplishment. Even if I had to tease him a bit.
"W-w-wel… ef u wan tu…" Inv stutters back. I find myself a little shocked by Inv not turning the idea down.
I can feel my heart beat a little faster as well by his response.
"Then this mark permanently makes me yours~" I say back to Inv in a smooth voice.
'In all honesty I didn't expect him to actually be open to an idea like that but if it makes a negative situation turn into a positive one like this then I'm all for it!'
Before I can say anything else to Inv however I hear a familiar ding go off in my head.
'Wait what the fu-
Unique Passive Unlocked
Invert's Mark
…
…
…
'Ok seriously, who the fuck is making this shit? I still have no idea what a passive even does! I mean I sort of have an idea, but I still haven't confirmed anything yet!'
…
Wait, did it just say unique? What the heck is the difference between a normal passive and a unique passive?
Before I can think any further about this though I'm abruptly taken out of these thoughts when Inv pushes his face right in front of mine.
"I-inv?!" Since we're both still hugging each other, I can't move anywhere. I'm completely at Inv's mercy right now…
Looking straight into his eyes point blank I see him just stare back right into mine. As if looking into my own soul.
But this isn't my main concern right now.
'Close! Really close!'
If I move just a tiny bit further forward our lips would meet! This is too sudden!
'Holy shit is he making a move on me?! I-I didn't think it would happen so soon!'
Thinking this, I start mentally hyping myself up getting prepared to kiss Inv. I could make the move right now, but I want to see if he makes it first!
…
…
…
After a bit of staring back at Inv point blank, I start finding myself a bit confused.
'Why isn't he doing anything?'
My excitement slowly dies down with it being fully replaced with confusion.
"Inv is something wrong?" I break the silence between us and ask.
…
After a couple more seconds Inv moves his face back a bit from mine.
If I'm being honest, I'm incredibly disappointed by this but I keep it to myself.
'Just you wait… those lips are mine!'
"I don no…I fel lik… i cen se yu mor clerly noaw…" Inv says back with a questioning look.
"What? Could you not see me before??" I find myself even more confused hearing this.
"Nu of cours i cud se u befor… et har tu explain…" Inv puts a fist underneath his chin. As if he's pondering something very serious.
"Ok… so how exactly do you see me more 'clearly' now?" I ask Inv trying to understand what he's trying to say.
"Ets lik… et lik…" I can see smoke start coming out of Inv's ears as he tries to explain. Before I can stop him before he overloads his brain however.
"Hol on! I go ide!" Inv says with a smile.
"Alright, what's this idea?"
"I tur awound an u eiter gu tu me lef or wight behin me"
"Huh? Inv, where are you going with this?" I'm completely confused now. I have no idea what's going on at this point or what he's trying to do.
"I wel b abl tu tel wher u gu wit ou lokin!"
Be able to tell where I'm going without looking? Like guessing where I am?
"Wouldn't you be able to hear where I am though?" I ask Inv. there isn't exactly much space where we currently are. Only the small area surrounding the popcorn plant is safe. While a little distance away from us is a bunch of protorot.
"Nu i cove ear!" Right after saying this Inv uses his paws to scrunch down his big ears against his head.
"Ok i tur aroun an u star movin!" Inv says this to me while taking a couple steps back from me and turns around looking away from me.
'Well… I uh… guess I should start moving??'
Deciding to go along with what Inv is asking me to do, I move to the left area behind Inv.
"Lef!"
'Wow, ok that was quick… how did he know that?'
Hearing him say this, I move to the right area behind him.
"Wight!"
…
He can't see me, right? I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a 3rd eye on the back of his head… or does he?
Becoming more interested in this little game I quickly jump to the left.
"Lef!"
Right after hearing this I quickly jump to the right.
"Wight!"
'What the hell is going on? I'd get it if he could tell through his other senses but he's already blocking both his vision and hearing? He's able to immediately tell where I am…'
This time I pretend to jump to the left stopping mid-way and quickly move back.
"Le- wight!" Inv stops saying left at the exact same moment I start moving back to the right. It was so spot on that I find myself a little shocked.
