#Akari manages to wheedle him into releasing the banishment early bc Khans her buddy.... Her best friend...

Thinking akari had Khan as her under bed monster from the time she was like,,,, 3 or 4 until she finally got pulled out of her home at roughly 7. Khan wasn't able to get to her in the care facility and so he lost track of her until a couple years after ingo adopted her. He always felt a little silly & stupid for getting attached to a kid he was supposed to scare the shit out of, but apparently it's not uncommon for under bed monsters to get attached to their charges so at least he's not alone!!!

Khans initial form was his large, lanky, four arm & two legged one, the one he tends to find most comfortable. He was supposed to be an under bed monster and frighten Akari, after all. But as he grew closer and more sympathetic to her, as he began to care, he appeared as something softer. Something more dog like, fluffier (he's not truly fluffy- under bed monsters are only slightly corporeal and touchable unless they focus on otherwise), something to bring her comfort. There's a vague psychic link there and it was odd when he learned and realized that she found his scary form comforting as well. He would appear as both, gradually realizing that his frightening form was a comfort because the malaise he radiated (greater in that form) also affected her parents and encouraged them to leave her alone

#Bed monster au #Khan a. #Akari #PLA au #Under bed monsters are essentially shadow type creatures #They can take about as many forms as they can imagine #If they can think it up they can become it. Many find a form that is most comfortable for them #And stay in that form unless otherwise necessary #Khan likes his four arm beast leg double wing double horn plus tail form #He's very comfortable as a lanky monster who takes up more room than it should #He finds a human form weird and small (even tho he's bulky as hell) and poorly balanced #Akari never minds him in any form he takes no matter how frightening he tries to make it #Other under bed monsters might scare her (and have in the past) but she is fond of Khan. She trusts him implicitly #He helped keep her safe before she was taken from her old parents after all. It's thanks to him that she #Got to be adopted by ingo. And he's never been unnecessarily rude or mean at all #He can be a blunt asshole (esp to ingo) and he can be a mischievous dick (leading emmet and elesa to think the house #Is haunted which. It technically is. Khan haunts it... but he's not a ghost) but he's always taken care of her #Whenever ingo banishes Khan from the house for being an excessive dick (or they've just argued about something petty) #Akari manages to wheedle him into releasing the banishment early bc Khans her buddy.... Her best friend... #her under bed monster.... He's like a pet c'mon dad can't I keep him 🥺 I'll take good care of him. #Teach him manners (unlikely) and tricks (more likely) and make sure he doesn't bite anymore (impossible) #Ingo yields... eventually. Khan is (somehow) his friend as well.
