'Hug of Doom!' for powered_otaku
It wasn’t a form Mab used very often. She had been told it was her scariest. And Hiro was looking at her like she was the cutest thing he’d ever seen. Maybe it was eyes the size of dinner plates that shimmered in the light. Maybe it was her pregnant belly paunch, which was exaggerated and adorably rounded. Maybe it was the fact she was only a foot tall. Maybe it was the gauzy white wings that fluttered on her back. And when she moved...glitter trailed after her. Well, at least he hadn’t hugged her.
“Ooof!” Apparently she had thought that too soon. “I’m not a toy, you know!”
“Mab-sama!” He would have dropped her if those gauzy little wings weren’t good for something. As she fluttered, glitter slowly sifted to the ground. “My sincere apologies!” He bowed his regret for his unintended rudeness. “I didn’t realize!”
“My fault for walking around like this. I’ve been assaulted for it more than a few times.”
“Then why are you?”
“It’s a long story. Buy me something with chocolate, and I’ll tell it to you.”
“It’s, as the say, a deal.”
