Salutations! This month Saccharine is about mischief. Prank wars!! I decided to use a new OC Amari.
I decided to try my hand at shipping her with Kai, aka Overhaul. Since she came with ship art of them anyways. And since I was already commissioning ship art, I figured I'd use it for the cover because it didn't take that long?
And oh my- it isn't angst? :scream: That's strange 🧐 oh well there's always next time 🤗 :kissing_closed_eyes:

─ "It wasn't me" by Kitsune
Who didn't love a few pranks every now and again? But nobody expected of the Yakuza to involve themselves with such a childish activity. At least that was how Kai saw it.
Who was currently getting whipped cream wiped off his face with a damp cloth by Amari. Her cheeks slightly lifted, her mask not fully concealing the hidden grin beneath her silver plaguemask.
"I promise its not that bad.." She said, well- so long as he didn't look into any mirrors. As she brought the cloth away from his face that was spotted in hives.
She didn't think he'd be the one to fall victim to her pie trap... And she just didn't have the heart to it it was her doing. So she put the fall onto one of the others.
"I swear.. When I get my hands on that idiot..." He grumbled, his gloved hands twitching as he contained his anger.
"Let me deal with him, your always in a foul mood whenever you break out." She half complained, receiving a glare in response.
"You have a right to be, but still it doesn't do you good."
Soon getting up, as she needed to get some cream for his hives. Stored in one of the bathroom cabinets.
Opening the cabinet door, she was startled when a spider popped out on a string. Making her yelp as she moved back.
Hearing a chuckle from Kai, as he came over. "I believe that was one of your pranks?" He asked, out stretching his arm over her shoulder to pluck the thread it hung from.
Letting out another half hearted laugh of mostly air. "I didn't- I don't know what your talking about." She said, diverting from the topic as she harmlessly pushed his arm out of the way.
Feeling Kai still standing right behind her. As she scanned the cabinet for his cream. Soon finding it as she turned on her heels to face him.
"You sure you didn't have any part in the pranks?" He asked, his tired eyes watching her. He knew, and suspected that she had played a part in some of the pranks. What was to say she hadn't done these two?
"Maybe one or two, but none of these."
Making him sit down, Amari started to put the cream over his hives. "Hm... Alright," was all he said as he let her take care of him.
It was rare that he saw this side of her. Then again he knew it was the same with him.
Kai seemed in thought for a moment, only seeming to look at her almost blankly. "How about we both set some pranks for them?" Kai asked much to Amari's surprised.
"I thought you hated pranks?" She asked, a bit perplexed as she removed her plague mask.
"It's just for a day isn't it? Plus you seem to be having all the fun." Overhaul said, as he walked over to pick up his mask. Unlike Amari he never went anywhere without it.
But she smiled, quietly happy that he wanted to in. "Then I got something fun in mind."

Taking him to the kitchen, "Oh duck by the way." She warned, but only to be late when she heard him exclaim in annoyance.
Looking to see he had walked into the seranwrap. Ripping it off his face he glared at her. Before throwing the discarded prank into the nearby bin.
"So what's the prank?" He asked, a bit curious if he had to be honest. As he strolled through the kitchen over to her as she looked through what was there. "Brustle sprouts covered in chocolate." She bluntly stated, met with the wide eyed gaze from Kai.
"Chocolate covered... Brustle sprouts?" He questioned, it didn't sound delightful, even for a prank. "Sounds perfect."
The two spent some time preparing the less then desirable popcakes. Though they did have a disagreement or two about how to melt the chocolate.
"Just let me handle that-" Kai protested, as he grabbed the bowl of broken up chocolate that she was about to put into the microwave to melt.
"Hey- oh come on.." She sighed, "it's gonna take longer."
"Amari, dear.. You can't cook, I fear you'd explode the microwave." He spoke sarcastically, seeing her sort of whine in defeat.
In the end she decided to allow him, as she prepared the brustle sprouts with intense supervision...
It took them some time, but eventually they had everything done for their prank. Along with what seemed like chocolate covered apples that were skewered. Though there was something Kai noticed about them too...
"Are some of these?-" He muttered, appearing puzzled to her actions.
"Yes, I feel like we should have some ordinary ones. She'd like them too, right?" Referring to Eri, it was maybe one of the nicer things she could do. Given how she was tasked with upholding the good guy act around her. As if it had to be an act.
"You're too nice to that girl.."
"Someone has to be, plus she's a sweet enough child. And doesn't piss me off." Organising the tray of portrayed sugary sweets.
Before slipping her mask back on and making sure it was secured. Not expecting for Kai to pick up the tray himself to carry.
"Come on then, I believe we shouldn't keep them waiting..."

They had spent some time handing out the chocolate covered goods, as Amari had handed one to Rappa. Still bearing his mask, as he took one of them.
"You don't usually do this stuff. Special occasion?" Rappa asked, as it went under his mask.
For a second there it was, the crunch of the raw veg... Followed by a pause as he viewed the bitten treat.
He paused, seeming perplexed in his actions. Taking a moment moment process it before he let out a hearty laugh.
Something neither had quite heard before. Especially Amari- "alright, ya' got me good. That is disgusting-" shaking his head as he put the rest of it into the bin.
"Wouldn't happen to have anything actually sweet?" Rappa asked, but she only shook her head.
"Sorry not today," obviously smiling beneath her mask. Maybe another day if she felt nice enough.
Taking her leave with Kai soon after, hoping to get a few more victims...
─ outro/author's notes
I was planning to get an edit for the cover, but since I was planning to get ship art commissioned I decided that I'd use it for the cover.
