Summary: Nobody would think she was cute if the word got out that Kusunoki Muu wanted to eat her classmate.
This was written for the Consumed By Desire Flash Exchange 2024, which was my first fic gift exchange! Thank you to my giftee, MarineHaddock, for their super fun prompts. I combined two of them:
I am nothing if not a humble enjoyer of a queer analogy! I hope that you don't mind that there isn't any actual cannibalism taking place here. But there are definitely lots and lots of Thoughts about it to make up for it!
On the first day of high school, Muu forgot her lipgloss.
She had her fair share of friends she could ask to borrow from, mind. But they had already taken off. Lots of girls had, really. There were only a few minutes left to get back to homeroom. But this was gym class! She couldn't just go back to school smelling like sweat or with her hair being a mess! Although, with regard to her lips being dehydrated, it seems like she'd have no choice. She sighed loudly at her reflection in the mirror, resting a hand against her cheek.
This apparently caught the attention of the girl next to her. Muu couldn't remember what name she had responded to during role call a few hours ago, but she had definitely been there. The girl looked away from her own mirror, turning her body slightly to face Muu. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Muu brought the hand that had been cradling her hand down to rest on her collarbone as she properly looked at the girl, as well. "It looks like Muu misplaced her lipgloss... and Papa bought it specifically for today, too..."
Muu didn't recognize the sympathetic expression the girl was wearing until it was dropped. She suddenly looked very tired. "Oh." She quickly straightened up though, dipping into her own makeup bag. "Well, you can borrow mine, if that's it."
"Oh!!" Muu exclaimed, clasping her hands together with wide, excited eyes. "That would be just-"
The girl pointed her newly-retrieved lipgloss at Muu, making her flinch and whine. "On the condition that you let me put it on you. You've taken ages just to straighten up your hair."
Muu pursed her lips, pouting. "Didn't you take a while, too?"
"I was helping a friend before," she responded bluntly. She spun the lipgloss she was holding in small circles, lowering her eyelids. "So, deal or no deal?"
Muu looked at the girl's makeup with a critical eye, crossing her arms, before she suddenly smiled. "Alright!" she proclaimed. She took a few bouncy steps towards the other girl, and leaned towards her, closing her eyes. "Don't worry, I know to stay still~"
"Good." Muu heard the lipgloss' cap being taken off. "And what's your name?"
Muu opened one eye, leaving the other closed. "Don't you remember from roll~?" she asked, with a teasing lilt to her voice. "I even said it earlier! I'm Kusunoki Muu!"
"You can call me Rei. Now, stop talking."
Muu giggled, before closing her eyes again, doing as instructed. She felt Rei come closer to her and, despite her stating she knew to stay still, felt her palm cupping her face, holding it in place. She didn't try to correct her, though. (Partially because it was a bit nice.)
Well, really, all of this was a bit nice. The full, careful attention given to Muu's lips, no matter how brief. Rei's warmth making her presence known, even as Muu closed her eyes. The small space of silence, where Muu could only hear their breathing, and her own heart.
(Her own heart. Why was her heart beating so fast?)
Muu was surprised when Rei pulled away after only a few seconds, opening her eyes to look at her. But, as she popped her lips, she found that they were covered completely.
So, she smiled. It's not like she had any reason to complain or feel upset, after all! "You are fast! Thank you again~"
Rei nodded, already zipping her makeup bag up and getting ready to leave. "No problem. You'll wanna hurry to class, if you don't want to be late." And, with that, she took off, waving goodbye to Muu behind her.
Muu stood by herself. Seemed like everyone else had left the locker room in the time that took. She tilted her head, taking a moment to swipe her tongue across her lips. Was this lipgloss flavored? She could have sworn that brand didn't flavor their stuff, but it was delightful! It tasted sweet. It tasted like...
... cake.
Her stomach twisted. Her face went hot.
No. That brand definitely not flavor their lipglosses.
"I mean, whose idea was to call them 'cakes', anyway, right?"
The topic of discussion in Muu's clique was spurred on by a story on the news — a man institutionalized for acting on his desire to eat another man. Those sorts of stories were rather common, if the news was to be believed, but they were also gruesome and gross! Muu and her friends weren't a bunch of true crime losers. So, instead of talking about the facts of the case, Muu was ranting about something that had been weighing on her mind much more heavily.
"Apparently, it was originally named in another language?" one of her friends said, after swallowing her bite of food. "Maybe it's cuter there!"
"But we don't speak that language, do we? And in the language we do speak, it's dorky," Muu replied sharply. She took a sip of diet soda that she got from the school vending machine, before sighing dramatically. "Surely, even we could come up with something better, right?"
"We could borrow something from the animal kingdom!" another girl suggested excitedly.
Muu squealed, shaking her head and giggling. "Noo! Muu bets cakes and forks don't wanna be associated with dumb, stinky animals, either!"
The rest of her friends laughed at her faux-grossed out reaction, and continued the conversation on. Muu, in the meantime, quieted down, so she could focus on eating her meal before lunch was over.
Regardless of how she felt about the names, it was far too late to try and change how forks and cakes were referred to. Even though Muu had only been introduced to the subject recently, that seemed to be decorum for all children. An attempt to maintain their innocence, before introducing them to the idea that some of them exist to be eaten, and others exist to feed.
Muu glanced at Rei. She was eating in their homeroom, too. She had her back turned to her — Muu couldn't see her face.
She previously thought she had to be normal. After all, it was characteristic of those called 'forks' to lose their taste for everything except for those called 'cakes' over puberty. Muu hadn't thought she was losing her taste.
It seemed, though, that Muu just wasn't paying attention before. She had, in fact, begun to lose her taste so gradually, she didn't notice its decline. Not until she tasted that little bit of saliva as clearly as she did. Now, she was all too aware that, by comparison, everything else was dull. Like her tongue was surrounded by a thin layer of cotton.
Rei giggled at something her friend said.
Honestly, Muu wasn't against doing something a bit crazy, if it meant getting what she wanted. The issue was the involvement of Rei. Another person. Another person who could tell others of what Muu had done. Muu could blackmail her into silence, but she had no dirt on the other girl. And, even if she did, she couldn't even be sure that Rei would care. She could totally picture Rei saying, "Go ahead, then, tell everyone," with a little shrug. Urghh, it was soo annoying...
If word got out that the esteemed, elegant Kusunoki Muu was a 'fork', and was actively looking to satiate that desire... regardless of the specifics, she'd be seen as a total loser, for sure! A social outcast! She couldn't risk that, no way!
Nobody would think she was cute, then.
Rei tilted her head forward. Her hair parted, sliding down, revealing the back of her neck.
Muu bit down on her manicured thumbnail. Hard.
"Ugh, cliché," Rei muttered, tossing a piece of caramel corn in her mouth. She noticed Muu's gaze and met it with a slight grin. "Right?"
Muu replied quickly, trying to hide her surprise at being addressed. (She had sat right next to Rei. What was she expecting?) "Toootally. Like, there are a bajillion cannibalism horrors! Muu heard that there's so many that movie companies or whatever are starting to refuse stories that contain them on principle."
"That would make sense," Rei agreed, with a nod. She turned her attention back to the flatscreen TV. "I've been hearing complaints about it for ages."
Muu nodded, then quickly returned her attention to the TV. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears, once again.
She had decided to have basically every girl in her class over for her birthday. A big hangout session, where everyone got to see her super-amazing house, stay up late, and have a good time! (Well, everyone except this one loser. But nobody wanted her around. And if the news got back to her, she'd totally freak out, which would be super fun to watch, anyway~)
Despite it being her birthday, though, she was outvoted for the genre of movie to watch. Apparently, everybody wanted to watch this new horror movie with this super-hot up-and-coming male actor. She tried pouting but, once the conversation turned to her possibly being scared, she got with the program real quick.
Maybe it would've been worth it to keep pushing against it, though. She didn't actually find any enjoyment in the actor's appearance here; the fun came from chatting about him with the other girls. Then, there was the plot of the movie, which was half-baked, at the best of times.
The villain was never stated to be a 'fork', really. The heroes aren't stated to be 'cakes'. They never are — it's inappropriate to come out and say stuff like that. But, when the villain says stuff about the protagonists being so delicious and sweet, and when the whole point of the plot is the heroes trying to escape being eaten...
Muu understood that her desires were... unconventional. But she was still the same cute girl as always, right? She didn't become this horrid, ugly, borderline-nonhuman thing, just because her biology is a certain way, right? She was more than her urges to eat! She had everything under control.
Rei licked her lips next to her. Muu swallowed down the saliva overflowing in her mouth. Totally under control. Right?
But...
"Hey," she said, speaking softly. Rei looked away from the screen, and at her. Muu gingerly pointed a finger at a bottle of Ramune that Rei had almost completely drained. "You're not going to be finishing that, are you?"
Rei hummed, before picking the bottle up, looking at it in her hand. "No. Do you want it?" She held it out, grinning lazily. "I'll warn you now, it's basically all backwash."
Muu retracted the hand that had been pointed at the drink, grabbing her own arm with it as her face heated up. She dug her unmanicured nails into her shirt sleeve.
Her saliva. She was offering up her saliva. What Muu tasted on her lips that day, she could have it again, she could have it now, and she wouldn't even need to bite into her bared neck and tear and rip and-
"Eww!"
Muu turned, and found one of her friends sitting close to her, snickering. "No way you just offered that to Muu!! That's disgusting!"
Muu felt her face go hot with shame. She was grateful for the dimmed lights.
"She's right, you know," Muu replied after a slight moment of pause. She flipped her hair coolly as she turned back to the TV screen. "I just wanted to let you know where the trash can is. I don't need you wandering off on your own."
Muu heard Rei huff, but didn't turn to look at her.
She didn't feel any sense of achievement. Whenever she overcame these desires, she never felt like she had won a battle against her body, or overcome something. Resisting the urge to consume Rei... it left her only feeling empty.
Muu bit down on her thumbnail.
A small slip. She showed too much of herself to those around her, for just one moment.
On the subject of people learning they're a 'cake' or a 'fork': "Rei's a 'cake' or whatever, too, after all."
Muu was asked how she knew that. She giggled, just to give herself time to think. "She told me!"
Scandal. Those around her gasped. "Why?"
"She tells everyone!"
More scandal. A game of telephone.
"Rei tells everyone she's a cake. So weird, right? Why would you want to tell people that?"
Muu's gums ached when Rei was next to her. Aching to bite. To rip away flesh.
"Did you hear that Rei goes around flaunting she's a cake? Why else would you do that, if it wasn't for attention?"
Muu started catching herself thinking, Just one taste wouldn't be so bad.
"Speaking of: have you heard that Rei tells everyone she's a cake to get the attention of this one fork she likes?"
Muu stopped trusting herself to be alone with Rei.
"Ugh, Rei? Isn't that the girl who, like, uses the fact she's a cake to seduce forks, or whatever?"
Muu found her resolve snapping under the pressure of her hunger. She wanted Rei. She needed Rei.
"Oh my gosh, that reminds me! Muu?"
Muu perked up at her name being called. She looked at the friend who had addressed her, as they walked to school together, with a graceful grin. "Sorry about that~! What is it?"
"What do you think about pulling a prank on that freak, Rei?"
Muu blinked a few times, shocked. "Huh? Did something happen?"
A different friend playfully bumped shoulders with her. "Come on, you were the one who told us, remember?"
"Told you what?"
"Rei's, like, a total skank! She uses her being a cake to seduce and tempt forks into bed with her and stuff."
Oh.
Rei was doing it on purpose. Of course. There was no other way that someone as cute as Muu could fall to such depraved thoughts so quickly. She was being baited into it.
The same friend continued talking to Muu. "We could fill that bucket from gym up with water, then prop it on a door! That way, she gets totally soaked when she walks out!"
Muu's nails had been chewed down. Without thinking, she put the tip of her thumb into her mouth instead, biting down on it. Baited into thinking about consuming someone else. Baited into desiring human's flesh. Baited into being something ugly and disgusting.
"Ohmygosh, yes! We should do it in the morning, so she has to go the whole day soaking wet!"
It wasn't Muu's fault.
"Ha, with her clothes soaked like that, we might even learn that slut doesn't wear a bra!"
Muu didn't taste the iron in her mouth. She only knew she was bleeding by the warm, thick liquid, trailing lazily down her hand.
How much do you want to bet this version of Rei dies from a bite wound rather than a stab wound?
Thank you so much for reading! (With apologies for the omegaverse joke.)

This was written for the Consumed By Desire Flash Exchange 2024, which was my first fic gift exchange! Thank you to my giftee, MarineHaddock, for their super fun prompts. I combined two of them:
"Cakeverse with fork Muu who wants to eat Rei soooooo bad and she's trying to pretend she doesn't care cause she's got a reputation but god she just needs to taste her"
"... maybe something with the conflict of queer desire and the image she's trying to uphold..."
I am nothing if not a humble enjoyer of a queer analogy! I hope that you don't mind that there isn't any actual cannibalism taking place here. But there are definitely lots and lots of Thoughts about it to make up for it!
