DES Role Play

I've taken to continuously rereading bits of Beyond to try and work out more in break times xDD thisisthemouseybitpuff

A tiny mouse was curled up on the bed.


“Tsukiyo.”


It raised its head at the voice, and squeaked softly. Shion offered some crumbs of bread and cheese to Tsukiyo, putting them right up to his nose. Tsukiyo twitched his whiskers two, three times, but did not touch any of it.


When Shion petted Tsukiyo’s back with the tip of his finger, Tsukiyo closed his eyes dreamily.


Hamlet, Cravat, Tsukiyo. Out of the three mice Nezumi kept, only this Tsukiyo remained with Shion. He was a small creature, but possessed both wisdom and intelligence. He was likely a descendant of the wild mice that lived deep in the forest alongside the Forest People.


Shion had simply assumed that because this mouse was no ordinary mouse, it would have the same lifespan as a human. But these days, he could see Tsukiyo ageing and beginning to weaken.


The average lifespan of a mouse was anywhere from a year and a half to two years. Even a pet hamster would live to three years at most.


Tsukiyo was slowly nearing his end.


“Tsukiyo, hang in there. You have to live to see your master come home.” Shion stroked him gently with the flat of his finger.


Cheep-cheep.


Tsukiyo chirruped contentedly, and closed his eyes.
