Unattainable Dream [CLOSED]
Note: This SS is pure trashy fanfiction. It's an Okarin dream but... it's pure trash!
+ + +
Some time in a distant impossible future.
Okarin was sitting on a rock and combing their hair, humming to themselves. Their long silvery hair flowed all the way down to their knees, with a shiny luxurious luster. The length, while difficult for a non-slime to comprehend, had special significance. It symbolized extraordinary peace and unimaginable comfort.
In the real world, Okarin had never been able to grow their hair so long.
For a slime, there was always a danger or threat lurking around the corner. There was always an urgent encounter that forced Okarin to spend some mass or desperately escape from a danger. They were always burning mass, so Okarin's hair reserve was rarely longer than a foot or two. A slime never had enough mass, and more often than not Okarin found themselves short of it.
Hair that long was...
...Unimaginable.
It might as well have been paradise — or heaven.
That was probably an accurate description.
Okarin felt like they were in heaven.

"Heaven" for Okarin was a small little brook on the edge of forest.
A small cottage — a real one — made of proper bricks and a tidy garden.
A vivid symphony of forest animals, birds, and squirrels that chattered away on the trees.
Flowers and grasses and herbs... endless fields and meadows nearby.
Fish in the water, frogs, tadpoles, and the occasional summer dragonfly.
No humans anywhere in sight.
And...
A familiar hand affectionately rubbed Okarin's head from behindd.
"
I'm back," the voice said.
The slime person leaned fondly against those warm palms.
"
Welcome home," Okarin chimed, as they looked upwards. "
Did you have a good mission, Vi?"
"
Ugh, those Savras in the bushes... I warned the Director about them but he didn't listen."
There was a frown on the Liberi's face. The ostrich played with Okarin's hair fretfully out of habit.
A look of concern crossed the slime's eyes as they fought to keep their long hair under control..
"
It sounds like a tough mission," they said, sympathetically. "
Will you be gone for a few weeks then?"
"
Of course not. Who do you think you're talking to?" There was a sharp grin on Vicious's face.
"
I'll finish them off tomorrow. My colleagues and I are the best operators around. I'll take the portal and I'll be home for dinner."
The Liberi beamed with self-confidence as they ruffled Okarin's hair further.
"
V-Vi... my hair..." The slime protested weakly. "
I need to braid it still."
Vicious immediately switched to poking and pulling at Okarin's round cheeks.
"
What is this cute little thing? Where can I get more of it?"
"
Muu, Vi~! I'm not a plush toy!"
The Liberi leaned closer and whispered into Okarin's ears.
"
Don't you think your hair is getting a little long? Does that mean you're ready to have another one?"
Okarin's ears turned a shade of pink.
"
Should we do it? Tonight, maybe?"
The slime instantly shot up to their feet in embarrassment.
They backed away a few feet and loosely their hair in a bundle front of their shoulder. Their face was visibly blushing.
"
Vi... I don't want to lose count of how many little ones—"
"
Okaaaaa~rin!"
Okarin was interrupted by a high-pitched child's voice.
"
Okaa~rin!"
"
Okaarin!"
"
Okaariiiiin!"
A chorus of little slime voices cut into the scene.
In fact, a small crowd of little slimes burst out of the cottage and hopped/dashed over to the two adults.
"
Viiiii~!! Viiiii~ is home~!!!!"
"
Mama~!"
"
Viiiii~! Hold me! Mimi wants carry! Fly! Fly high!"
"
Zuzu wants carry too!"
"
No fair! Zuzu had fly last time!"
Vicious wrapped her arms around Okarin's waist and pulled them into a soft embrace. She whispered something into the slime's ear.
Okarin flushed again and protested, "
Not in front of the kids!"
The Liberi laughed nonetheless and bent over to pick up one of the little slimes.
"
I'm just kidding~♪"
"
Muu, I seriously won't be able to keep track of them all if we have any more!"
"
Are you really going to be able to stop yourself though? Last time, we were just holding hands and you just hiccuped..."
"
You know that I'm weak to hand-holding!!! That was 100% your fault!"
"
They're seriously cute though. Maybe I should just do a singing kabedon and you'll make even more?"
"
T-That's cheating! And I don't want to have more than three at a time! I'll die!!! I'll seriously die!!!"
Vicious laughed and leaned in to kiss Okarin on the cheek.
"
You're the sweetest, okay? Don't ever change."
The Liberi pulled Okarin into a slow embrace.
The slime person blushed and hugged her back.
"
Mm. I love you, Vi. You're the most amazing ostrich in the whole world."
"
Mhm. Love you too."
