Cuddly found himself literally melting into the sofa of the Amano living room, making him growl in pleasure. 

Keisuke could only sweat drop in reply while drinking some hot tea Duri had taught him to make, "You really like the couch, don't you?" 

"It's so comfy~" Cuddly replied to the human, humming in satisfaction to prove it. 

Keisuke's sweatdrop grew bigger hearing this, "Wow... Just... Wow... I know Bao En-nee and Jorogumo told us about you, but I still can't believe that you're here to visit ME of all people." 

"Well, it's kinda complicated..." Cuddly shifted a bit. "Do you, by any chance, know where Jorogumo's living?" 

"Not really," Keisuke replied. "Maybe Junko'll know... I'm not sure where she lives when it's not  at the Arihoshi shrine, though...."

"Junko? You mean your incarnation?" Cuddly blinked slightly. 

"The very same," Keisuke sipped some of his tea before setting it down on the table, taking in a deep breath as he turned to look at Cuddly, "She and Mukuro opted to settle down here in Sakura New Town with us, to be honest. Mitsue-san was nice enough to adopt them both after Akinori explained the situation." 

"I see..." Cuddly nodded in understanding. "What about you, Keisuke?" 

The 11-year-old smiled hearing this question, "I've been holding up. Ever since my status was revealed to me (It was a HUGE one to me, frankly), Aruke-san's been teaching me what I need to know about being his champion. It's kinda hard, but Keita's been giving me time to catch up on martial arts." 

"That's cool!" Cuddly smiled. "What of Jorogumo and Bao En?" 

"Bao En-nee's been well too. She's been dating Ryaku-nee for a long while, and we've already begun teasing them into engagement," Keisuke chuckled slightly. "Apparently, in the SRS' words, if Ken-chan and I could do it when we were 6, why couldn't they? It's become a running gag in the group." 

"So you're much more happier now," Cuddly concluded. 

"So to speak," Keisuke nodded, a playful smile appearing on his lips. "Anyway, why don't we try having some ice cream?" 

"Ice cream?" the bear's eyes sparkled. "Any honey?" 

"Honey ice cream?" Keisuke cracked up. "Hilarious! But no, we only have the normal flavours." 

"Ah..." Cuddly laughed. "Nice to know that my joke didn't come true!" 

Keisuke snickered, "You're trying to make me lose my stomach. But anyway, let me get dressed before we head out."

"Alright then!" Cuddly grinned in reply. "Take your time!" 

"I guess I will!" Keisuke didn't waste time as he sprinted up the stairs like an Olympic athlete, though. 

Cuddly could only shake his head in mock-disapproval, remembering his MS self, "Geez, you guys can be so similar at times..."
