Chapter Text
Corpse was nervous. This was the first time he was meeting his friends in person. He didn’t hang out with anyone irl; But that wasn’t really the problem. It was his mouth. Most people knew the supernatural existed, but no one actually knew where they were. Some thought the lived in isolated communities in the middle of no where. But that wasn’t the case. It never was.
They lived among them.
Among us.
The people who made that game weren’t too far off with the “imposter” function of the game. Some people did have those large, gaping mouths with hundreds of tiny, sharp teeth. Others, like corpse, had one small, human-like set of teeth where their mouth was supposed to be. And then, when looking at a shirtless “imposter”, you could see it; But it was bearly noticeable. A long, thin slit ran horizontal across their stomach.
A second mouth.
It was large; and could open impossibly wide. The toung was long, and pointed. It was tentacle-like in nature. That’s why he never took his shirt off and always wore a mask to cover his face.
He was one of them.
The tall man shifted uncomfortably in place. Where were they? They should have been here by now. Did they ditch him? Maybe they forgot?
“Hey! Corpse! Over here!” A man’s voice called. It was toast.
“Hey, toast. Hey guys.” He chuckled. It was almost scary how human he looked with his mask on.
“Man, I’m starving! I need some food. Wanna grap some food at that new pizza place down the road?”
Sykkuno said, looking up from his phone.
“Is that the one off of 3rd and west street?” Corpse asked. It was the one near his place and it was run by some people like him. They were a little less human looking but masks like his would cover most things. Purple-ish or darker patches could be explained by makeup.
“Yeah! Have you been there before?” Sykkuno asked, tilting his head to meet the taller man’s gaze. Corpse was giant for a human, standing 7’ in all, when he stood up. However for an “imposter” like him, it was a normal height.
“Uh, yeah. Only once but it was good.” The dark haired man smiled down at Sykkuno.
“Cool, let’s go then. Where do you wanna eat?” The older boy asked.
“Uh...w-we can go to my place? It’s only a block from the pizza place.” He raised a hand to rub at his stomach. His mouth was itchy. Well, his other mouth. Oh, you know what he means.
He wondered how they would react if they knew what he was. It wasn’t hard to guess. They would either sexualize him to no end or run away in fear.there was no in between.

They were back at his apartment now. They had already begun eating when Rae noticed corpse wasn’t eating.
“Hey corpse, are you gonna eat?” Rae said, a worried expression on her face.
Corpse was startled out of his thoughts by Rae.
“Oh....Uh, yeah. I’m just...a little self conscious about my face.” Corpse spoke softly, looking away from his friends.
“Oh corpse, you have nothing to be worried about. We won’t judge you for your looks. I mean, come on, toast is here!” Lily laughed.
“Hey!”
“Sorry. But I just want corpse to feel comfortable.” Lily spoke, placing a small hand on corpse’s thigh.
Corpse tensed up. That was too close. Her hand is too close. Lily seemed to notice this as she moved her hand back to her own lap a few seconds later. There were a few beats before anyone spoke again, as corpse reached up to his face.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly slipped his mask off. He closed his eyes. He waited for the enevitable. Where they would scream and run away.
But that moment never came.
He opened his eyes. Everyone was staring at him. But...it wasn’t in a bad way. They were just looking at him, taking in his features. He smiled. A real smile. His teeth were showing but he didn’t care. They accepted him.
He reach forward and began to eat. This where it could get weird. When he ate his teeth got a lot bigger.
“Whoa! Dude! I had no idea you’re like me!” Jack exclaimed.
“Huh?”corpse had no idea what he meant.
“Yeah! Here look!” Jack opened his mouth wide. There were two sets of large fangs in his mouth.
Needless to say corpse was surprised.
...
And then it became an understatement.
Jack’s eyes slowly turned black. A small set of horns apearing on his head. Big, leathery black wings sprouted from his back.
“Hello! Surprise! I’m a demon!” Jack said enthusiastically, OpenGL his arms and wings wide as if asking for a hug.
Everyone was shocked. The evil version of jack’s Internet personality was real.
“Oh...Uh, no. I’m not a demon.” Corpse said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Huh? What do you mean? The only supernaturals that have teeth like yours are demons.” Jack was confused. What could corpse possibly be?
“You know among us, right?”, he paused for a moment,” Well, they weren’t too far off about imposters.” Corpse said lifting up his shirt. His second moth opened up impossibly wide. Large teeth and long toung on display. Big thick globs of drool dipping off his toung. His eyes turned from brown to a deep blood red.
He closed his eyes, not wanting to see the aftermath of what he had done.
But there were no screams. No noise at all actually.
He opened his eyes. Everyone was staring at him. He looked back at them. Everyone’s eyes were laser focused on his second mouth. Why were they-? Oh! Corpse looked down at his toung and remembered he had gone and got it pierced a few months ago.
“Holy shit you weren’t kidding.” Sykkuno said, staring wide eyed at his mouth.
They all whipped their heads around to look at Sykkuno.
“Sykkuno? Did you just swear?” Rae said in a low tone.
“Oh! Uh...d-did I?” Sykkuno stuttered out, feining innocence.
“Yes. You did.” Corpse said, speaking from his lower mouth.
“Whoa! Did you just speak from your stomach? And how the fuck did your voice get deeper?!” Jack exclaimed, his eyes wide. Corpse couldn’t help it when he burst out laughing, both mouths opening. His laughter seemed to echo around the room, loud and distorted.
“Well, you’re fuckin scary. And that’s coming from me, a literal demon.” Jack said, a look of astonishment on his face. By the time corpse had stopped laughing, he was suddenly more comfortable around them. His second mouth closed up, looking like it was never there.
He looked down at his pants, noticing they were soaking wet. “God damnit. I hate that.” He grunts out. “I’m gonna go change real quick. I tend to drool a lot.” He stomped out of the room.
———Line break———
“Well, that was unexpected.” Toast said, staring at the floor. They sat in silence for a few moments before Sykkuno spoke up.
“Did anyone else find that strangely attractive?” The brown haired man said, looking away from his friends. Everyone shook their heads. Once again silence reigned for a short few moments.
When corpse walked back in, he looked completely different. Gone were his mask and heavy clothing. They were replaced by light, soft clothes in pinks and whites. A pink cropped sweater adorned the tall man’s frame, paired with some plain white sweat pants. The top left his tummy exposed; the mouth that resides there was slightly open, a few of the larger teeth were able to be seen.
They went back to eating and talking happily. Everyone could see it as corpse relaxed; smelled it too.
“Hey can anyone else smell that?” Lily asked.
“Yeah! I was wondering what that was! It smells like flowers...” Rae said, a puzzled look on her face. Everyone was sniffing the air now, and nodding their heads.
“It smells like pheromones. Happy ones.” Jack was smiling, his body lax against the chair he was sitting in.
Corpse looked up from his food, cheeks pink. “Sorry, that’s me. I’m really happy right now.”
Everyone looked at him, smiling. They all settled in for a quite afternoon. They talked, played games, and even did a stream. Corpse had to hug a pillow and put on his mask to cover his more supernatural traits, but the chat was happy just seeing him at all.
