Chapter Text
One liked Pill- liked spending time with Pillow.
But there was one (haha) thing they could not STAND.
The stench that followed her.
Pillow was fun, sure, but the purely offensive smell following her was unbearable. It was like the doll was hiding 40 bloated corpses inside her!
And today, One was going to do something about this.
"Pillow, I'm not joking, you reek!"
"Stay in the tub!"
"No! It's a waste of time!"
Pillow's voice squeaked as she struggled to crawl out of the tub, hands scrambling helplessly in One's direction.
"Let go of me! Now!"
"STAY."
"ok"
Finally, One switched on the tap, letting the lukewarm water slowly fill the tub, causing Pillow to scurry off to the opposite end of it. Pillow's ankles were soon submerged in the now-dark mud-water mix.
"Dear Math.."
One couldn't stop her eyes from widening at the sight.
"How does that even happen???"
"As I've said, washing is a waste of time!"
"..Yeah, got it."
For once, One was almost happy she lacked the arms to touch Pillow, instead lifting up a nearby sponge via-telekinesis and squirting out some soap onto it, before slowly reaching it towards Pillow.
The glare Pillow gave that poor sponge was nearly enough for the thing to shrivel up and blow away, but it just gently brushed against her shoulder instead.
Despite the earlier struggles, Pillow seemed mostly passive for now. She let the sponge glide over her, observing the movements with a mostly neutral expression (spare for the pout on her lips, she was NOT happy about this if you couldn't tell).
By the time it reached her midriff, the water was almost pitch black, only fuelling One's absolute disbelief.
"Pillow, how did you even get this dirty? What were you doing, rolling around in mud??"
"Nope!"
"Then what could you POSSIBLY be doing for the water to be this shade????"
One's anger was gone, instead replaced by sheer awe at the filthy being in front of her.
"What's even causing the smell!?"
"The food, probably."
"The what"
"The food I eat. It just kind of sits there."
"Why the hell do you eat? Aren't you.. I don't know, not biological?"
"Everyone eats! What kind of question is that?"
One had to pause for a solid few seconds.
"Don't you..I...You..Uh.."
"What????"
"Everyone eats, so why wouldn't I?"
"Not everyone has the food stay in them and ROT, Pillow."
"Maybe that's a sign to.. I don't know, not eat???"
"I thought that's how it was supposed to go."
"You eat the food and it stays in there for energy!"
"Do you feel energized after eating?"
"No."
"..."
For a second, it was almost like One was going to snap and just beat the shit out of Pillow.
Instead, she settled for a deep breath and a grumble of:
"You are the dumbest THING I've met yet."
"Thing? I-!"
"Get outta the tub. The shower won't do much anyway."
"Fine!"
Pillow crawled out of the tub, spilling dirty water everywhere and causing One to back off.
..Which was pointless, Pillow shook off all the water like a dog, coating them in that same dirty water.
"Damn you-! Ugh.."
They looked down, assessing the "damage" that Pillow has done to her clothes.
Yep. These were never getting worn again.
"We'll just do this another time."
Pillow was almost jumping on walls from sheer joy at those words.
So much joy in fact that she ran off.
Booty ass naked.
