"I don't know, man. It's a bit... creepy?"

Cobalt looked at the weird plushy his friend was holding. For some reason, when he had first laid his eyes on it, he had believed it had made to look just like him. Now that he was closer to the plushy, he could tell that wasn't the case - sure, it was a blue dragon plushy, but it was very different from him. For starters, the plushy didn't have horns, which he did. That tail was shorter than his and the blue scales were a completely different tone.

Void was holding the plushy as if he wanted to show it to him specifically for some reason. Probably because of their similar looks, Cobalt thought.

"Well, maybe not as creepy as I originally thought," he corrected himself. "Where did you find it?"

"It wasn't hard to find, actually. I bought it in the first shop I walked into."

"Ah. So you were looking for a dragon plushy that looked like me?"

Sometimes Cobalt didn't understand what Void had in mind. He knew the smaller dragon had decided to follow him to the gym in order to get bigger - or so he said, Cobalt had never actually seen him work out - but often he wondered whether the other dragon had a hidden agenda or something.

What a silly thought, he told himself. He's just a normal dragon, like I am.

"Want to see something cool, though?" Void asked.

Cobalt wasn't too sure. They were in the gym's locker room, after all - and by now he was feeling a bit self-conscious that another person would walk in and see them talking about... a plushy. The place wasn't too busy that day, luckily, but he would have definitely felt embarrassed if that had happened.

"It's just a cool trick, I promise," Void insisted.

Something about those words seemed to trigger something inside Cobalt. The dragon was still unsure whether he wanted to let Void show that trick of his or not, but he found himself nodding quickly. No!, the dragon thought, refraining from facepalming in front of his friend. Why did I agree? I just want to take a shower and get home!

Void smiled and lifted the plushy until it was more visible. Then, he petted its little blue head.

Cobalt opened his mouth to ask what that was all about, but then the weirdest thing happened. He shuddered and turned around, his eyes scrutinizing every corner of the locker room and finding nobody.

"W... what..." he mumbled. He could have sworn someone had been petting him.

"That's not all that it does," Void added, seemingly unaware of his predicament. "Look."

He grabbed one of the plushy's soft arms and lifted it to a saluting position. Cobalt thought the plushy looked a bit ridiculous like that, but he didn't have the time to phrase it - his arms immediately lifted, falling into the same position the plushy was in. Before he could complain, he was also saluting in front of the other dragon.

"What the hell," he muttered. "What did you do? What is this?"

"Well, it's not a coincidence that this plushy is also a blue dragon," Void explained, still grinning. "I wanted to buy a custom one that looked just like you, but it was too expensive to make."

"Dude, this is definitely creepy," Cobalt said, his voice shaking a bit. "Is this shit voodoo or something like that?"

"What? No. It's only hypnosis."

"Hyp...?"

But Cobalt couldn't finish the sentence. Void lowered the plushy's arm and Cobalt mirrored the movement - but then, the smaller dragon placed his fingertip on the plushy's lips, and Cobalt felt himself completely unable to speak, as if someone was covering his mouth. He struggled to form a word, but every single sound he let out came muffled.

Then, Void began scratching the plushy's belly. Cobalt felt his cheeks getting warmer as the other dragon stroke one of his most sensitive areas. He would have probably let out a pleasured growl if he hadn't been silenced by Void's fingertip. Wait, he thought, getting more flustered by the minute_. How does he know that?_

He really hoped nobody would walk into the locker room right then.

"I can see you're enjoying this," Void said, finally uncovering the plushy's mouth.

"I... Hmph." Cobalt shook his head. Yes, he was slightly aroused by what the other dragon was doing to him and he hated it. "What the hell? Did you say hypnosis? Man, that's weird. When did you learn to do that? And when...?" He struggled to form the question. "When did you do that to me?"

"Hehe. Don't worry. It's not like you need to think about that," Void reassured him, his eyes gleaming enigmatically. "After all, you've got your head full of cotton."

The same triggering feeling washed over Cobalt as soon as he heard those words. And suddenly-

He felt like he was floating. His body was soft, light and fuzzy. And his head was the softest, the lightest and the fuzziest. A big, dopey smile spread across his face, his limbs growing loose and limp. The dragon's eyes glassed over. Cobalt felt like Cobalt wasn't there anymore, like his body was a vessel for something else entirely.

Cobalt was far, far away now. Too far to reach for him. Too far to think of him. Too far to think.

Void chuckled and moved the plushy around as if he was walking.

"Follow me," was all he said. He then grabbed both their bags and headed for the exit.

And his full-size plushy followed him obediently.
