", "writing": "Lit by a single lamp that sat in the corner of his room. Pudding incessantly drove himself into Rosemary. Her body was so heated and slick with sweat that he could not find any grip on her hips or chest and instead had to tightly hold the blankets for support. His love making was demanding and passionate. His nose was all scrunched up cutely as he forced himself to edge out a few more moments and then a few more after that. \n\nAlthough each second that passed was intensely pleasurable he continued to be patient and give Rosemary as much of himself as she needed until finally, her body twitched and began to shudder. With a grunt and a hiss Pudding relieved himself. His hips however did not stop moving in the slightest. He continued to enjoy her. As his eyes rolled and went blind, as his breath got stuck in his chest, and as the silky wetness he delighted himself with turned to hot mud. It was only when he was completely drained and spent that he came to a stop. \n\nPudding collapsed by the side of Rosemary. His chest rising and falling quickly as he attempted to find new breath to fill his sweat stained body with. Above him, stars danced on the ceiling as the quick beating of his heart started to slow. \n\n“That was the best yet! Wowie.” \nPudding said to Rosemary as he continued to rest. \n“Your girly parts are like a snug sweater made of hot chocolate!” \nHe giggled before letting out a content sigh and sitting up. \n\nGrabbing an already stained towel from the bedside table he began to clean up the mess he had made with her. Once that was done he used the other side of the towel to wipe the sweat from his brow and arms. As the heat inside of him cooled and his head cleared he started to feel a wistful romance overcome him. \n\n“When you wake up I would love to bake some lemon bars with you.”\nPudding said to her gently. \n\n“They are not my favourite but they were the first thing I learned to bake when I was a little Pudding cup. So I want them to be the first thing we bake together too. All the spilled flour and sticky hands covered in butter, I’ll never forget my first and I want us to have as many of them as we can!” \n\nPudding rubbed Rosemary’s stomach with his hand gently.\nHe gazed into her closed eyes, brushed his fingers down her sleeping face and smiled. \n\n“Our first picnic under the sun, our first time making love under the moon. I’m going to practise doing all of them so that when you wake up I can give you all the best memories and the biggest laughs. You will see.” \n\nPudding wiped some of the sweat from her body before folding up the towel and putting it away. He then nuzzled his face against her own and gave her a small kiss on the corner of her mouth. \n\n“Time for some midnight tea and biscuits! And then we can make love once more before bed!”\nPudding said with a giggle before jumping off the dishevelled bed and skipping to the kitchen. \n\nMeanwhile, downstairs. \nThe last few stranglers of the Celebration were starting to come Home. As each stepped inside a rather rotund and fluffy rabbit ticked them off the list of his clipboard. Once the last person in the Commune had entered he got up from his chair and began to lock up. He used a ring of keys to seal the doors before locking two bolts in place, one above the door frame, and one below. After giving it a test jiggle he went to the windows and made sure they were locked and bolted too. Even the backdoor was sealed just as tightly. \n\nAfter pulling down the blinds to cover the large window stretching across the front side of the building, he switched off the outside lights using a control box near the front door. He then dusted his hands off before heading towards the security office nearby. \n\n“Hey Pumpkin, am I late?” \nA soft voice asked him just before he went inside. \nIt belonged to a much smaller and skinnier rabbit who stepped out of the elevator. She wore shorts and a long sleeved T-shirt, as well as the tool belt belonging to the security guard teams. While her ginger fur and earthy tones meshed well with Pumpkin’s own colours, her slender body and wide eyes could not have contrasted any harder. \n\n“Just in time for coffee actually. I just finished locking up.”\nPumpkin replied warmly as he extended an arm for her to go first into the room. \n\n“Is the coffee as black as Marmite and just as thick?” She asked. \n\n“Thicker I dare say.”\n\n“Wonderful.” She said as she waltzed past him.\n\nThe security office was more like that of a small living room than anything formal. It had a large L shaped sofa taking up one corner, with enough room for two to sleep comfortably on it. Another corner was a small kitchen with an old coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave alike. The floor was comfortably carpeted and there was both a heater and an air conditioner for whatever needs might arise. Across from the sofa was the actual front desk of the building and an extra large office chair for Pumpkin to rest in. \n\n“I’m Cinnamon by the way, we met like a week ago?” \nCinnamon said as she took to the old coffee maker and looked at the tar like fluid dripping down. \n\n“We did? Was that in the daytime because I don’t remember much in the daytime.”\nPumpkin replied to her as he followed her to the kitchen. \n\n“Yeah, you were very nice…” \nCinnamon said as she handed him a cup of black coffee. \n“Two sugars and one chocolate sauce?” She then asked. \n\n“Yeah, huh we really did meet before.” \nPumpkin replied as he took the coffee. \n\nSitting down on the sofa, he let out a pleasant sigh over the aroma of the coffee. Once Cinnamon had also gotten herself a cup of much more milky coffee she also joined him. She looked around the office and took a sip before putting it on the table. \n\n“So, you are the new temporary night guard. Hm? Apologies for not remembering you, so ehm, let’s start over. How long have you been in the Commune and why become a guard?” Pumpkin asked. \n\n“I’ve only been here about a month actually. I used to be an enforcer but I wanted to be something… It’s a bit of a long story actually.” Cinnamon trailed off.\n\n“I don’t mind. We’re gonna be stuck together for the next two weeks.” \n\n“Right. Well, hm. When I was middle school I always wanted to be a superhero. It feels embarrassing to say that out loud now… But I just always wanted to help people, to save the innocent and defeat the bad guy. So I started learning martial arts and working out and doing all these things that superheroes in the comics do. It got me good grades at least. And eventually got me involved in law.” \n\n“Seeing as you are here it must not have worked out very well?”\n\n“It was good for a while. The academy was great and I excelled at everything. Fighting, running, parkour, detective work, paperwork, legality and the process of the law. I was the shining star and it made me feel like a hero already. It was my origin story, my montage on the road to becoming great. But then I graduated and actually started work.”\n\nCinnamon let out a tired sigh as the memories came back to her. \n\n“There are very few innocents and bad guys in this world. Most are a bit of both and it never gets any easier to tell which side they stand for. My first real case on the force for example. Ugh, Jelai protect me. Turns out that the simple street scammer had a friend that was part of a larger conspiracy connected to several traitors within the precinct related to an even bigger on going case, where at least two of the higher ups in that criminal organisation were undercover agents. Enforcers protecting and funding criminals, to seek out other criminals, who were being spied on by other enforcers in order to find even more criminals that used to be enforcers in the past! I could not take it after that.”\n\n“I had heard the world outside of the forest was complicated but I had no idea.”\nPumpkin said with a slow shake of his head. \n\n“I don’t remember where I first heard of this Commune, maybe on the internet? Or a preacher? Do you guys have preachers? Eh, anyway. Between the nightmares and not wanting to come into work anymore I eventually found out about Pantry. A beautiful little area with an adorable rabbit population that were seeking a better life. I thought to myself, maybe they could need a hero. Someone to protect them from animals in the forest or something like that. Maybe I just wanted to get away from it all and hide in the woods until the world made sense.”\n\nCinnamon took a sip of her coffee and let the heat soak into her. \n\n“What I was not expecting was a paradise. Everybody here is so loving and trusting and they welcomed me straight away. I carried baskets of those Sunshine Berries around, picked a whole bunch myself and every night I studied the words of Jelai. Before I realised it a week had passed without a single nightmare. So I rang my boss and quit. I told my landlord to keep the apartment too. A fresh start away in a new land where people need me, it’s the perfect hero’s story!” \n\n“Such commitment to Jelai and the Pantry is so inspiring. Although I am surprised you chose to be a guard. We don't really do much other than sit around all night.” Pumpkin pondered. \n\n“It is my Purpose, my path given to me from Jelai. I will not question it.” \nCinnamon replied before sipping her coffee. \n\n“I understand that. For some reason every time the sun rises I fall asleep and so my Purpose is to watch the night. It is what Jelai needs from me and it’s quite the pleasant lifestyle.” \n\n“Are you not lonely though, being awake while everybody sleeps?”\nCinnamon asked as she nudged herself along the sofa a few steps. \n\n“Some days more than others but I do have a new assistant every two weeks at least.” \nPumpkin spoke as ran his fingers over the wooden amulet around his neck. \n\nPumpkin noticed now that Cinnamon had moved half way down the sofa as they had been talking. He took a sip of his cooling coffee and nudged himself closer to Cinnamon. \n\n“And as you're the new one, you must have some good day gossip?”\n\n“Heh! Well there was a celebration done today for the new Soulmates. Pudding and Rosemary I believe their names were. I was able to enjoy the end but the pair had already left before then.” Cinnamon explained. \n\n“Pudding, yes. I saw him skip past a few hours before the party finished with a pale looking girl in his arms. I didn’t even have time to say hello.” Pumpkin replied with a grin as he recalled just how love drunk Pudding had looked. “I bet he has had quite the busy night.” \n\n“Hm, I've heard there has been more people joining in the past few months and they have been finding Soulmates within the Commune very fast too. It’s usually quick growth from what I’ve heard and that the gardens may need to be expanded if the newest Harvest does not go too well. Other than that, I can not really think of anything interesting happening.” Cinnamon said before scratching her ear cutely. Pumpkin felt a twinge in his chest just from the sight of it. \n\n“That’s good. It’s always a pleasure to hear that the day has been peaceful.” \nPumpkin replied to her as he swirled his coffee. \n\n“Mhm… Have you found a Soulmate yet?”\nCinnamon asked as she leaned closer to him. \n\n“It's a bit hard to find one when everybody is asleep but Jelai will bless me one day.”\n\n“Mmm, I'm sure that day will come soon enough.”\nCinnamon said as she smirked and turned her eyes away. \n“How about some ‘night gossip’ then?”\n\n“Ah it’s just as quiet. I’ve heard some talk about noises in the forest but I mean, there are always noises in a forest.” Pumpkin replied with a shrug although Cinnamon gave him a doubtful look. \n\n“I thought the forest around the Commune was always quiet. No birds or bugs for some reason, people in the city used to say this end of the Eeping Forest could be… Cursed?” Cinnamon spoke quietly. \n\n“Blessed perhaps. We never get pests eating our crops or wild animals causing trouble.”\nPumpkin replied as he leaned back against the sofa. \n\n“So the night guards and the security bolts on the front doors are just in case visitors come?”\nCinnamon asked as she looked to the darkness beyond the front desk. \n“Plus the giant fence and all the gates that are locked up after sundown.” \n\n“Better safe than sorry, that is what the Messengers say. We are, I guess you could call us, the last line of defence if someone decided to hike three hours out here just to spray paint our Home? It’s why this is the easiest job in the Commune!” Pumpkin replied. \n\nCinnamon cracked a smile and drank her now lukewarm coffee.\n\n“Oof, I need the bathroom.”\n\n“Yeah that coffee will do that to you, want me to put some noodles on?”\n\n“Oh that would be lovely. I’ll be back soon.” \nCinnamon said as she quickly left the security office.\n\nPumpkin let out a long sigh as he relaxed his body. \n“She’s far cuter than the past few assistants.” \nHe slapped his cheeks and pulled himself to his feet before trotting over to the kitchen. \n“Noodles, noodles, ham and vegetables? Chicken and mushrooms? Does she like it spicy?” \nPumpkin pondered as laid out two bowls and two forks.\n\nAfter filling up the kettle he put it on to boil, and there he heard a faint knock. Not thinking anything of it he continued to rummage around the kitchen for the instant noodle packets and other fresher ingredients to add. But then he heard the knock again. It was clear, bone against glass. Knuckles tapping on the other side of a door. \n\n“Cinnamon?” Pumpkin called out. \n\nLeaving the office, he turned his gaze to the bathroom down the dark hallway. But then he heard the knock once more from behind him. Turning around he found little more than darkness and a cold mist swirling outside of the front door. Stepping closer he switched on the outside light and came face to face with Cinnamon. She was wearing her formal robe and had her arms tucked to her sides. \n\n“Kinny, it’s so cold out here. Can you let me in?” \nShe asked sweetly with her eyes closed and her breath trailing out of her mouth like fog. \n\n“How did you get out there?” \nPumpkin asked as he looked to the left and right of the door. \n\n“I slipped out a window, to surprise you, but I can’t quite climb back up.”\nShe said as she stepped closer to the window. \n“I’m not a very good guard. I need you to help me.”\nShe then said as she placed a hand onto the glass of the door. \n\n“Everybody makes mistakes.”\nPumpkin said as he reached up and unlocked the bolt above the door. He then reached down and unlocked the second one. Taking his key from the ring he slid it into the keyhole but just before he turned it, he heard another noise. Footsteps. \n\n“Surprise!” Cinnamon called out from behind him. \n\nHe turned quickly to find her standing with see through lingerie and a can of whipped cream in her hand. She looked at him shyly and then stuck a tongue out at him playfully. \n\n“When we met last week I realised you were my Soulmate so I requested to be the new second permanent guard! That way we could be together, I'm sorry for waiting but I want to make sure the previous assistant finished their time… Pumpkin? Is something wrong?”\n\nHe turned to the darkness outside of the door and found nothing. \nNothing but a single smudged handprint on the other side of the glass. ", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Lit by a single lamp that sat in the corner of his room. Pudding incessantly drove himself into Rosemary. Her body was so heated and slick with sweat that he could not find any grip on her hips or chest and instead had to tightly hold the blankets for support. His love making was demanding and passionate. His nose was all scrunched up cutely as he forced himself to edge out a few more moments and then a few more after that.

Although each second that passed was intensely pleasurable he continued to be patient and give Rosemary as much of himself as she needed until finally, her body twitched and began to shudder. With a grunt and a hiss Pudding relieved himself. His hips however did not stop moving in the slightest. He continued to enjoy her. As his eyes rolled and went blind, as his breath got stuck in his chest, and as the silky wetness he delighted himself with turned to hot mud. It was only when he was completely drained and spent that he came to a stop.

Pudding collapsed by the side of Rosemary. His chest rising and falling quickly as he attempted to find new breath to fill his sweat stained body with. Above him, stars danced on the ceiling as the quick beating of his heart started to slow.

“That was the best yet! Wowie.”
Pudding said to Rosemary as he continued to rest.
“Your girly parts are like a snug sweater made of hot chocolate!”
He giggled before letting out a content sigh and sitting up.

Grabbing an already stained towel from the bedside table he began to clean up the mess he had made with her. Once that was done he used the other side of the towel to wipe the sweat from his brow and arms. As the heat inside of him cooled and his head cleared he started to feel a wistful romance overcome him.

“When you wake up I would love to bake some lemon bars with you.”
Pudding said to her gently.

“They are not my favourite but they were the first thing I learned to bake when I was a little Pudding cup. So I want them to be the first thing we bake together too. All the spilled flour and sticky hands covered in butter, I’ll never forget my first and I want us to have as many of them as we can!”

Pudding rubbed Rosemary’s stomach with his hand gently.
He gazed into her closed eyes, brushed his fingers down her sleeping face and smiled.

“Our first picnic under the sun, our first time making love under the moon. I’m going to practise doing all of them so that when you wake up I can give you all the best memories and the biggest laughs. You will see.”

Pudding wiped some of the sweat from her body before folding up the towel and putting it away. He then nuzzled his face against her own and gave her a small kiss on the corner of her mouth.

“Time for some midnight tea and biscuits! And then we can make love once more before bed!”
Pudding said with a giggle before jumping off the dishevelled bed and skipping to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, downstairs.
The last few stranglers of the Celebration were starting to come Home. As each stepped inside a rather rotund and fluffy rabbit ticked them off the list of his clipboard. Once the last person in the Commune had entered he got up from his chair and began to lock up. He used a ring of keys to seal the doors before locking two bolts in place, one above the door frame, and one below. After giving it a test jiggle he went to the windows and made sure they were locked and bolted too. Even the backdoor was sealed just as tightly.

After pulling down the blinds to cover the large window stretching across the front side of the building, he switched off the outside lights using a control box near the front door. He then dusted his hands off before heading towards the security office nearby.

“Hey Pumpkin, am I late?”
A soft voice asked him just before he went inside.
It belonged to a much smaller and skinnier rabbit who stepped out of the elevator. She wore shorts and a long sleeved T-shirt, as well as the tool belt belonging to the security guard teams. While her ginger fur and earthy tones meshed well with Pumpkin’s own colours, her slender body and wide eyes could not have contrasted any harder.

“Just in time for coffee actually. I just finished locking up.”
Pumpkin replied warmly as he extended an arm for her to go first into the room.

“Is the coffee as black as Marmite and just as thick?” She asked.

“Thicker I dare say.”

“Wonderful.” She said as she waltzed past him.

The security office was more like that of a small living room than anything formal. It had a large L shaped sofa taking up one corner, with enough room for two to sleep comfortably on it. Another corner was a small kitchen with an old coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave alike. The floor was comfortably carpeted and there was both a heater and an air conditioner for whatever needs might arise. Across from the sofa was the actual front desk of the building and an extra large office chair for Pumpkin to rest in.

“I’m Cinnamon by the way, we met like a week ago?”
Cinnamon said as she took to the old coffee maker and looked at the tar like fluid dripping down.

“We did? Was that in the daytime because I don’t remember much in the daytime.”
Pumpkin replied to her as he followed her to the kitchen.

“Yeah, you were very nice…”
Cinnamon said as she handed him a cup of black coffee.
“Two sugars and one chocolate sauce?” She then asked.

“Yeah, huh we really did meet before.”
Pumpkin replied as he took the coffee.

Sitting down on the sofa, he let out a pleasant sigh over the aroma of the coffee. Once Cinnamon had also gotten herself a cup of much more milky coffee she also joined him. She looked around the office and took a sip before putting it on the table.

“So, you are the new temporary night guard. Hm? Apologies for not remembering you, so ehm, let’s start over. How long have you been in the Commune and why become a guard?” Pumpkin asked.

“I’ve only been here about a month actually. I used to be an enforcer but I wanted to be something… It’s a bit of a long story actually.” Cinnamon trailed off.

“I don’t mind. We’re gonna be stuck together for the next two weeks.”

“Right. Well, hm. When I was middle school I always wanted to be a superhero. It feels embarrassing to say that out loud now… But I just always wanted to help people, to save the innocent and defeat the bad guy. So I started learning martial arts and working out and doing all these things that superheroes in the comics do. It got me good grades at least. And eventually got me involved in law.”

“Seeing as you are here it must not have worked out very well?”

“It was good for a while. The academy was great and I excelled at everything. Fighting, running, parkour, detective work, paperwork, legality and the process of the law. I was the shining star and it made me feel like a hero already. It was my origin story, my montage on the road to becoming great. But then I graduated and actually started work.”

Cinnamon let out a tired sigh as the memories came back to her.

“There are very few innocents and bad guys in this world. Most are a bit of both and it never gets any easier to tell which side they stand for. My first real case on the force for example. Ugh, Jelai protect me. Turns out that the simple street scammer had a friend that was part of a larger conspiracy connected to several traitors within the precinct related to an even bigger on going case, where at least two of the higher ups in that criminal organisation were undercover agents. Enforcers protecting and funding criminals, to seek out other criminals, who were being spied on by other enforcers in order to find even more criminals that used to be enforcers in the past! I could not take it after that.”

“I had heard the world outside of the forest was complicated but I had no idea.”
Pumpkin said with a slow shake of his head.

“I don’t remember where I first heard of this Commune, maybe on the internet? Or a preacher? Do you guys have preachers? Eh, anyway. Between the nightmares and not wanting to come into work anymore I eventually found out about Pantry. A beautiful little area with an adorable rabbit population that were seeking a better life. I thought to myself, maybe they could need a hero. Someone to protect them from animals in the forest or something like that. Maybe I just wanted to get away from it all and hide in the woods until the world made sense.”

Cinnamon took a sip of her coffee and let the heat soak into her.

“What I was not expecting was a paradise. Everybody here is so loving and trusting and they welcomed me straight away. I carried baskets of those Sunshine Berries around, picked a whole bunch myself and every night I studied the words of Jelai. Before I realised it a week had passed without a single nightmare. So I rang my boss and quit. I told my landlord to keep the apartment too. A fresh start away in a new land where people need me, it’s the perfect hero’s story!”

“Such commitment to Jelai and the Pantry is so inspiring. Although I am surprised you chose to be a guard. We don't really do much other than sit around all night.” Pumpkin pondered.

“It is my Purpose, my path given to me from Jelai. I will not question it.”
Cinnamon replied before sipping her coffee.

“I understand that. For some reason every time the sun rises I fall asleep and so my Purpose is to watch the night. It is what Jelai needs from me and it’s quite the pleasant lifestyle.”

“Are you not lonely though, being awake while everybody sleeps?”
Cinnamon asked as she nudged herself along the sofa a few steps.

“Some days more than others but I do have a new assistant every two weeks at least.”
Pumpkin spoke as ran his fingers over the wooden amulet around his neck.

Pumpkin noticed now that Cinnamon had moved half way down the sofa as they had been talking. He took a sip of his cooling coffee and nudged himself closer to Cinnamon.

“And as you're the new one, you must have some good day gossip?”

“Heh! Well there was a celebration done today for the new Soulmates. Pudding and Rosemary I believe their names were. I was able to enjoy the end but the pair had already left before then.” Cinnamon explained.

“Pudding, yes. I saw him skip past a few hours before the party finished with a pale looking girl in his arms. I didn’t even have time to say hello.” Pumpkin replied with a grin as he recalled just how love drunk Pudding had looked. “I bet he has had quite the busy night.”
