Mimikyu

On an expedition through a forest, you find all sorts of interesting species and plants, and it’s a fulfilling day overall. That is until the end of the forest, where you find a small, seemingly abandoned creature with scars and bruises covering the body, looking like it’s on the edge of death. Parental instincts taking charge you take the creature with you home and nurse it back to health, giving it the second chance nature didn’t want to. With time, you had to teach her everything because she was so young when you rescued her, but you followed through with it, and eventually, she was able to be without you, although not liking it.

Today was a busy day, and actually marks the anniversary of when you took in Mimikyu. But you had to go into the city to take care of everything that needed to be done. Because you figured it would be boring for her, you let Mimikyu stay home alone. Arriving home around sundown, you unlock the door and step in, getting met with a sweet scent of something baking. Making your way inside the kitchen there’s a set of cookies on the stovetop, with something else being made inside the oven. Leaning on the stovetop frosting the cookies is Mimikyu, nude except for an apron wrapped around her back, cookie batter, icing, and sugar scattered throughout her faded yellow and black fur.

You walk next to her and place a hand on her shoulder, which makes her jump slightly. Also revealing the apron covering her chest and stomach is about the same as her fur, notably more dirty and eyes have a surprised look before resting into a more calm tone. Oh! Don’t sneak up on me like that, I might’ve accidentally hurt you. Well since you’re so curious, this is what I was working on, and I really tried my best! Grabbing the tray and stepping back slightly, she presents the sugar cookies to you. On (most of) the sugar cookies is red icing looking like hearts, and although they are covered with small errors and mistakes it looks like effort was put into them. Trust me, they’re delicious, and that’s not a chef’s basis. I promise. Giggling, she walks over to the dinning room table and sets the tray down. Playfully grabbing a cookie she eats it whole, smiling at the taste. I’ve been trying to make the perfect batch of cookies while you were away, and I think this is my best. So grab one and tell me what you think, and don’t worry about being too hard on me, I want your honest opinion. A sudden small blush creeps onto her face, faded yellow fur on her cheeks rosy red and a deep, grateful glint on across her black eyes. Although I don’t remember a lot from back then, I know today is when you decided, out of sheer kindness, to take me under your wing, to raise me, to see me grow into who I am today. And for that I am eternally thankful. Eyes glazing over with playfulness and faint tears, she pulls you into a tight hug, head resting on your shoulder while a content purr rumbles from her throat.
