Mochis and Besties

“Are you sure we should be eating this much mochi? I thought we were like supposed to leave some for Allocer?” Michel questioned, adjusting his bag as his impup Diamond tried to get closer to sniff the mochi.

Cero scoffed, picking up a matcha moon mochi and taking a big bite of the confection, “If we were going to leave some for Allocer, we’d have to make it. Besides my newest sugar daddy got me a ton of these mochis, it’s not like I can eat them all by myself.

Michel paused, giving Diamond a little tap on the head when the impup tried to wiggle out of his purse towards the mochis. “Oh fine, but I’m going to tell my agent, it’s your fault if I gain weight. They already measured me for the show I’m doing in like three days.”

Cero shrugged, moving just in time to stop his own impup Bijou from grabbing at a mochi. “I doubt you’re going to gain much weight from eating a couple mochis with me. It’ll be fine.”

Michel took a moment to think before he sighed, “Okay, I guess I could have some, but I want the strawberry ones. Matcha tastes too much like plants and sesame isn’t sweet enough.”

Cero rolled his eyes playfully, smiling as his best friend, “Only because there’s so many strawberry ones okay? I want to try them all.”

With a sudden movement and before he could even think to respond, Michel was able to catch Diamond from where he almost fell out of his purse. The impup seemed really determined to get a mochi for himself, much as Michel kept making sure he wouldn’t. He was such a pretty purple color and his owner was worried the moon mochi might change his colors like dango would.

“Oh Diamond, stop being bad.” He picked up the impup from his purse and gave him a kiss on the forehead. “I’ll give you your favorite ube dangos as much as you want tomorrow, but these mochis are for me and Cero. No little puppies.”

Cero seemed to being having the same problem as he kept Bijou under his arm. “Go ahead and eat some already! Bijou is so good at escaping, I can’t hold him forever.”

Michel scoffed without any heat and picked up a strawberry moon mochi in one hand, “Don’t rush me, I’m going.”

He took a bite, pausing for a moment, before his eyes lit up. “It’s tasty!” He couldn’t help himself and finished the mochi in one bite. “At least we know the guy is loaded enough to gift you quality.”

Cero rolled his eyes, “”Yeah, but he’s so boring. That’s why I’m spending this holiday with you, my bestie is never boring.”

Michel laughed, “Of course, I’m not just some rando. We’ve known each other for forever.” He paused, once again shifting Diamond in his arms as the impup started again to get free. The little guy was relentless.

“Exactly.” Cero agreed, reaching over to pick up a sesame moon mochi, “I can see why Allocer wants these, I’d eat them like all the time.”

Michel snorted, “You would get sick of them in like a week.”

“A delicious week.”

The pair stared at each other, before they broke out in laughter. They couldn’t pretend to argue with each other, they knew what the other bun liked and disliked.

The rest of their evening would be spent gossiping to each other and eating moon mochis until they couldn’t handle any more. Eventually laughing softly together as they enjoyed this holiday their way and with each other.
