Herein lies a story about feet. Enjoy. --------------------------------   >You are Sonata. >And you're sitting at the foot of Adagio's bed. >You like to update like that every so often to remind yourself of who you are and where you're currently at. >But that's not important right now. >Wanna know why? >Of course I do! >Okay, I'll tell ya. >It's because you got a bag of gummy bears! >*gasp* No way! >Yes way! >And ever since you can remember, you love eating gummy bears. >"Actually, Sonata. That was starting yesterday, when Anon shared his bag with you." >Oh yeah! That was really nice of him, and- Wait. How is it that Adagio can hear what you're thinking? >"*sigh* She usually can, oh you know, whenever you talk to yourself out loud." "Oh. Oops. Heh heh." >"Hm. Yes. If you could keep it down from here on out, that'd be great. Thanks in advance." "... You want a gummy bear?" >"No thank you. I'm busy writing in my journal." "Don't you mean your diary? Because that's what Aria said it was-" >"Aria said what!? N-no! This is completely different from a diary! It's a-" >Adagio's face went from really angry, to calm. >How does she do that. >"Gather, Adagio. Gather... Look, Sonata. Just get back to your snacks, hm? They're probably feeling left out of the fun." "*gasp* Oh my gosh! You're right! Aw! Don't worry, I won't forget about you, little gummy bears!" >Feeling satisfied that you reassured your candy friends, You happily grin back at Adagio, while she gives you that 'dying pan' stare, or whatever it's called, before getting back to her dairy. >She gives you that look like, all the time. You're not sure why.   >Anyways. Back to your yummy snack. >There's so many colors and flavors. You're not sure where to start. >So, you do the sensible thing, and grab a handful and stuff them in your mouth. >Hm. It's kind of hard to tell which ones are tastier than the others. >This isn't gonna work. >Also, you're totally gonna waste them all if you keep this up. >You gotta try something else. >Ooh! Maybe you could do that one trick that Anon was doing. >The one where he grabs a gummy bear, tosses it in the air, and catches it in his mouth? >Yeah! That looked so cool! >You wonder if you could pull it off. >Well, he made it look easy enough. >You grab a green one, and stare at it really hard, to try and conjure up some Anon magic. >Seconds later, your eyes are starting to dry up and hurt. >The burning must mean that it's working! >All right. Let's do this. >Closing your eyes, you fling it upwards, and... >...and... >Any minute now... >... >Huh. Where'd it go. >You look around the floor. >Up at the ceiling. >You look back in the bag. >You can't find it anywhere. >Did it grow wings and fly away? >Maybe you used the wrong staring spell. >Though, a tiny flying bear does sound super adorable. >Oh! Maybe Adagio knows where it went. >You turn yourself around, and before you can even take in breath to ask her anything. >Uh-oh... >You spot your target. >It landed right on Adagio's left foot. >She was still lying on her stomach, slowly kicking her legs, totally wrapped up in her diary. >Okay good. That means she didn't notice. >That's kinda weird. If something landed on your foot, you'd definitely notice. >Your feet were very sensitive, and uber ticklish. >Hmm. How should you go about getting the bear. >You reach out with your hand and- >Wait, wait. No. That won't work. >Clearly fingers caused the tickling feeling. >So, maybe you can grab them with your own feet! >That could work. >You've never been tickled -BY- a foot. >So you take off your shoes and socks. >Then again, as you go wiggling your toes, you remember that they've never been too good for grabbing stuff. >You've tried numerous times before. >Aria put a stop to that. >She's no fun. >What else could you use. >The only thing you can think of now is your... Tongue? >Hey! That could work! >You just gotta come up with some good strategery!   >Minutes later and you couldn't think of anything, so you decide to just go for it. >You stare at Adagio's swinging feet, looking for the perfect time to strike. >She finally brings them to a stop and curls her toes. Good! That makes things so much easier. >Slowly you move closer to your target, until your face is right over her sole. >You carefully move your tongue closer and closer. >And, with accurate precision, tact, and professionalism, you quickly lick the entirety of her foot. >"*Gasp* AH! Wh-what?!" >Adagio flips over so she's laying on her back. >You bring your tongue back into your mouth. >Darn. You didn't get the gummy bear. >You got a taste of it though, as well as a salty flavor. >Mmm~ >"S-Sonata! D-did... Did you just lick my foot?" >It looks like her face is trying to decide on a confused and angry emotion. >The confused one is starting to win. "Duh, of course I did. How else was I gonna get my gummy bear. Hey! look! It's still there!" >Adagio's feet were still in the air, facing your direction. Your spit must've caused the candy to stick to her. >She grabs her leg so she can check for herself. >"Ugh. My foot is all sticky now. Gross." "My bad." >"Why, Sonata. Just. Why would you put your candy on my feet." "I didn't mean to. It just kinda happened." >You flash her an innocent smile. >"And you couldn't use your fingers to get it off?" "Nope. Because then I'd tickle you, which would bug you and interrupt your writing and... Oh." >"Yeah. Mission failed, sweetie." "Sorry." >"So..." >She extends her leg outwards so her foot is closer to you. >"Are you gonna clean this up?" "Uh, yeah! Totally!" >Grabbing her ankle, you quickly lick up and down her foot. >"Gah! S-Sonata! Wh-what are you doing!?" "I'hn clea-hing up muh meffss!" >Wow! The saltiness and the sweetness mixing together is so delicious! >You already got the candy, but you keep licking until all of the gummy bear flavor is gone. >You think you hear Adagio making some moaning noises, but you're too busy enjoying your new snack creation! >Her feet are so soft, it's like licking a super smooth pillow or something. >You wish this yummy moment could go on forever! >But, a couple more laps, and there's no more candy flavor to be found. >You even try licking between her toes just for good measure. >Nope. Nothing. >The flavor must be hiding from you. >That's so unfair. >But you're no quitter. >Probably. >You start giving Adagio's foot some suckling kisses. >From the heel, all the way to the pad, you cover every inch. >You even individually suck on each of her toes. >But you still can't find any gummy bear flavor. >Darn. >As a last-minute attempt, you inspect her now shiny foot for anything you might have missed. >Nothing. >Better return to owner. "There you go. All done. See?" >You wipe your mouth off as Adagio checks her now saliva soaked foot. >"I... I-I meant for you to use a towel, Sonata." she says kind of quietly. "But then I'd have to go all the way to the kitchen, and that would've taken too long. The gummy bear would've fallen off by then." >"Y-you know what? J-just go. I need to be alone right now." >You're afraid that if you say something she'll give you that dead pot look again. >Oh well. >Grabbing your bag of gummy bears, you happily hum a tune and skip out of her room. >Who knew salty gummy bears were so good! >You're totally gonna have to let Anon eat them from your feet the next time you see him. >It's gonna be so fun! You totally can't wait!   End.
