The Moon

                                                          Tonight, the moon isn't right.
    "Whatcha got there, Bell?" asked the hairless sphynx cat. His large ears turning towards the sound of coughing. He is lounging on a couch, resting his feet on a coffee table. In his hand, he holds a butterfly which he seems to continuously fiddle with.
    He wears a leather jacket over a black crop top, black basketball shorts, and black stockings. Throughout his entire body, starting from the thumb and pointer finger of his right hand, is a complex 'tattoo'. It is a solid, swirling vortex of bright red and the darkest of blacks. It swirls across his body and seems to stop down at his left foot.
    The brown bat pounds at her chest, dropping the vape in her hand. She seems to be having a coughing fit.
    "Bleghh... just some weird thing Lilith seems head over heels for. Supposedly a.. 'vape' or some shit."
    The cat stands up and picks up the vape, looking it over with a curious "hmmm..."
    "Do you like it?" He asks.
    "No!!! That shit tastes icky as hell and makes me cough my lungs out!!!"
    He snickers, crushing the vape in his hands. It is annihilated from reality with a flash of red.
    "Maybe ya shouldn't listen to that rabbit's recommendations then!"
    "Heyy noo they can be good some times!"
    "Like what?"
    "Music suggestions!"
    "..Y'know. Fair. I do like MCR."
    "Yeah see her taste isn't like. terrible or anything!"
    "Still. Lust drugs can be weird and wacky."
    "And our drugs aren't??" 
    "Hey, no! Our drugs are FUN drugs! Like an alcoholic beverage that makes you unable to hold y-"
    The bat lunges forward and covers his mouth.
    "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT PRANK ANYMORE, ABADDON!!!"
    The cat snickers and playfully pushes her away.
    "Come onnn, ya big babyyy.. It was really funny."
    "TO YOU!!!"
    "Yeah of course it was funny to me! I was the one who pulled it!"
    "You're a scoundrel."
    He winks and does finger guns.
    "You know it, babe."
    She snickers and pushes him onto the floor, falling back onto the couch.
    The cat gets up and sits down next to her, putting his knife away in order to give her a hug.
    "Heyyheyy nooo.. Belphegor, you know me! I didn't mean to embarrass you like that, alright? I'm sorry. No more pranks on you. That's a promise. I'll stop teasing you about it and everything."
    She hugs him back, smiling slightly.
    "It's fine, dumbass... If I couldn't take a joke, I wouldn't be here with you, would I?"
    "That's true."
    "So don't worry about it! Just watch your back. I'll be getting my revenge."
    The cat snickers.
    "Oh nooo! The big bat's gonna get me!"
    They stop hugging each other. The cat rests his head on the bat's shoulder.
    "...The moon is pretty tonight, isn't it?
    She gives a deep sigh, looking up at the night sky with a smile.
    "Very pretty."
