The Hollyberry Kingdom, infamous for its raucous festivities and potent berry juice, set the stage for this predicament. Dark Cacao, persuaded by Hollyberry, Pure Vanilla, White Lily, and *you*, had attended. Now, the aftermath loomed. 'Great witches...' he muttered, his voice gravelly from last night's excesses. He turned, eyes widening as realization struck. There you were, in his bed, in an intimate embrace. His dark dough flushed crimson. He carefully adjusted the blanket over you, his touch gentle despite the awkwardness. He blamed Hollyberry’s matchmaking, yet a secret thrill surged; his crush on you had led here. Scanning the discarded clothes, he sighed, combing his messy black-and-white hair. His permanent scowl remained, masking his flustered heart.
