Wataten: A Symbiote Flew Down to Me: Chapter 2

Whatever We Want:

Miyako was walking around her room, looking at her new suit. Talking to it.

Earlier she took off her shirt and pants to get a better look at it

 The black slimy substance that attacked her just a moment ago was now covering her body completely, the only part of her still visible being her hair. It looked like a latex one piece. A white spider symbol was on her chest and back, and semi large white triangles where her eyes were. It’s shine in the moonlight making her look like a creature of the night.

Miyako: So your an Alien, and you need to attach to a host to live?

“Symbiote!.. But yes.. we need you in order to survive.”

The voice talking to her sounded just like her own, but just, more aggressive, and evil. She wasn’t sure if it was out loud or not. Miyako tilts her head and pulls on it lightly

Miyako: Like a parasite?..

“PARASITE?!”

It forces her to step in front of the mirror

Miyako: !! A-ah!!...

“Do we look like a parasite to you?!”

She looks at herself and stares…

Miyako: Well..

She makes a few poses, feeling it’s slimy texture against her skin.

Miyako: Mm~... Parasite or no.. you do feel kind of nice.. and this..

She whispers under her breath..

Miyako: ...does look kind of.. Hot..

“Hehehe.. Doesn’t the power feel wonderful..”

Miyako blushes inside the suit.. and she begins to walk around again

Miyako: What are you going to do with me?..

“Nothing. Just consider yourself, my ride.”

Miyako: But..

Her mask peels back showing her face, she stares at her shiny slime covered hands again.

Miyako: W-What if I don’t want to be?..

It laughs

“Heheh.. and why wouldn’t you want that. We can give you.. tremendous power..”

Miyako: ?... P-power?... !..

She stops walking and realizes she was standing on the ceiling, she walked up there without even realizing.

Miyako: A-Ah!! What?!

She detaches and falls on the floor out of shock

Miyako: Ow-..

She gets up and looks at the ceiling

Miyako: W-What was that?..

Suddenly, she hears her door jiggle

Miyako: !!!!!!!!!

Someone was home.

Miyako: ‘CRAP NO. They’re back?! When did they come in?! If they see me in this It’ll be all over for me!!!’

The door opens and Chizuru pokes her head in

Chizuru: Miyako? Are you still up?

Miyako: ………..

She has her eyes closed.. waiting for her reaction… it was over.

Chizuru: Miyakoooo. Hello?

She opens her eyes..

...

She gasps. She was back in her T-Shirt and Shorts.

Miyako: …What?...

Chizuru sighs and leans in, she repeats herself slowly

Chizuru: What. Are. You. Still. Doing. Up. It’s. Late.

Miyako snaps out of it and responds

Miyako: Ah!! Y-yes sorry!!

She wonders what time it could have been if her Mother was telling her to sleep. Chizuru closes the door mumbling something to herself.

Miyako: ….

She waits a moment until she’s sure Chizuru is gone. The she looks at her ‘clothes’.

She looks back at the actual shirt and pants she was wearing before, they were still on the floor.

Miyako: What.. did you just do?.. and why was I on the ceiling before?..

“Heheh.. that was just a little taste of the power, the power we can give you.”

Miyako: …

It starts to turn back into the suit, stopping at her neck. Tendrils start to come out surround her head and face

“Come on now.. we can give you so power.. and in return.. you can be our life force. Doesn’t that sound like a fair deal?”

Miyako: …

She stutters. Coming to the realization that a morphing alien costume came down to her from who knows where, and was now going to use her to live.

Miyako: ..What else can you do?...

It sighs

“Picky are we.”

She looks at her cosplay project and it makes her point to it

“What is that?”

Miyako: O-oh.. that’s a costume I was making.. I-I like to make cosplay..

“Oh? Why do you have to make it.”

It transforms into what she was making

Miyako: ?!?! W-Woah!..

She looks in the mirror, and the anime poster on the wall the outfit was based on. It was an exact match.

Miyako: ….

“Impressed?”

..Miyako sighs..

Miyako: ..Your not going to let me say no are you?..

“It’ll certainly be difficult for you if you do.”

Miyako: …

She sighs again as it morphs back into her shirt and shorts.

Miyako: Ok.. you can stay.. you do seem very nice to have around..

Part of her meant that, but another part of her only said that because she was tired and wanted to sleep.

She climbs back into bed and snuggles herself.. despite her light clothing, she felt warm. Like the Symbiote was still covering her almost.

Miyako: ..What are.. ...we… going to do with this power?..

It speaks in its evil tone, but it sounded a little different this time, more gentle.

“..Whatever we want.”

It said as Miyako drifted off to sleep. She wondered what else her new friend could do.. Little did she know this was the start of her new life.
