"I smell chocolate on your breath...?"
I drew this for Live2D practice (hoping to finish by 2/14)!
Starting with separating parts, then working on loop animations!

[Brainstorming While Drawing] - - - - - -
On Valentine's Day, the Pioneer, recalling last year's "nightmare" (or "reward"), rushed home early.
However, as soon as they arrived, AZKi noticed something.
"Hey, your breath smells sweet..."
"Ah, well, my coworkers were handing out obligatory chocolates at the office..."
"...Hmm, I see. So, you ate that chocolate, huh...?"
"W-Well, yeah... It wasn’t wrapped, and they just handed it out loose, so..."
THUD (A dull impact.)
************************
"...Ugh… (Where am I…?)"
A throbbing pain in the temple...
Upon regaining consciousness, the Pioneer found themselves lying on what looked like an operating table. Their hands were cuffed, ankles strapped, and AZKi was straddling them.
Apparently, she wasn’t too happy about the chocolates they received at work.
As their awareness sharpened, they noticed a stinging sensation on their cheeks. Their beard had been neatly shaved off.
Looking up at AZKi, they saw her lips curved into a crescent moon smile—stained with a dark, rust-like color, almost like melted chocolate.
Memories from last year flashed vividly.
"...I wonder if it's still undigested, sitting right here."
Her delicate index finger pressed deep into their solar plexus.
"Ghh... ahh... ughh... gahh...!"
"Oh, you're awake? Too bad, I was just about to inspect your ×××.
Oh, by the way, I made some chocolate for you this year too! Of course, you'll eat it... won't you?"
Her finger withdrew, leaving behind a red, dome-like swelling on their stomach.
"Haa... haa...! O-Of course! I'll gladly accept it...!"
"Fufu, I knew you'd say that. But you can’t eat it as you are, so let me help you~"
With her delicate, angelic fingers, she crushed the beautifully ribboned chocolate box.
No way…
The handcuffs rattled, biting into their wrists.
"W-Wait, I can eat it myself—!"
"Here, say 'ahh'...♥"
(The End.)
