Me and Lucas walked back into our room in silence. The eeriness of what had just happened really sinking in. He opened the door to let me in first, and when he closed it, I collapsed in his arms— crying. It was probably one of the first times I had felt defeat. My mind was torn, and in a way so was my body.
"Hey hey hey— we came here to study, right? If you're not up to it, then you won't be able to handle someone like me—"
He paused for a second, thinking about what he'd just said.
"I meant LeRoe's friends. LeRoe is an elite, so his friends are probably almost as aggressive if not more than Clark probably was. It'd really surprise me if they were gentle…"
I wiped off the tears from my face and burrowed my head in his shoulder. I could almost tell he was blushing from the close contact. After sitting for a while in awkward silence, I moved over to the stack of papers and began to sort them. While me and Lucas studied, I tried hard not to notice the yelling coming from downstairs. Erik was screaming at Clark, and cursing him out.
"Is Clark going to have to leave now?"
Lucas shot up from having his nose deep in a stack of folders.
"Hm? Oh, most likely. Clark's done a lot of bad things, and I'm pretty sure by the sounds of it, that he'll be sent off to a Corrections Facility."
"Ah, okay."
I noticed him staring at me while I continued to work on signing a bunch of legal documents as well as contracts for both the company and Erik himself. It was a wonder how I was still sane after that experience. I remembered that in the Function House, we were always taught that if your master demanded sexual contact, then you would have no choice but to oblige. Clark wasn't my assigned Master, however, and I wasn't sure if the rules that applied to me also applied to him on the consent law. Then again, we constantly had problems of Royals and Elites fucking whomever they wanted with no punishments made, and so I settled on the thought that males were given more lee-way. Glancing at my watch, I noticed that it was already getting to dinner time.
"Wanna head to dinner early?"
"..."
He's sleeping, isn't he? I crawled over to check on the status of my study buddy, and to my utmost surprise, he was passed out. I tried shoving his shoulder a bit, but he didn't stir. After giving up, I'd decided to head to the Dinner Hall to grab myself and him a plate— although I had no clue what he liked or didn't like.
"Glad to see you're doing well."
A familiar voice came from behind me, and I spun around to confirm that it was Kira. She was dressed in some sort of bathrobe with Keneeth who was next to her in just his boxers.
"Yeah— definitely nice to see someone's getting in on some action."
I chuckled and walked off. It was so clear what they were doing—
From behind me I heard Keneeth teasing Kira a little more and making some snarky comments.
"Oh~ someone's found out."
After finally grabbing mine and Lucas' plate, I saw Clark sitting in the corner of the room. I froze. A large hand rested on my shoulder from behind once again, and I heard Erik speak.
"You good there, mate?"
I turned around and smiled wryly.
"Yeah, just grabbing Lucas and I some dinner. He's passed out."
Erik laughed and continued to walk into the Dining Hall over to where Clark was with a trey in his hands.
I grabbed a heap of the fettuccine Alfredo pasta dish that was there and threw it into a wok that I'd found just laying around. It smelled like garlic and butter— the two best combinations put together with Alfredo cheese.
"I'm back, Lucas~"
The smell began to fill up the room with the pasta, and soon enough, it smelt like a kitchen. I saw Lucas slump down and out of his bed like water, and then standing up slowly to come and eat with me. It was kind of funny— we'd only been together for around 4 days, yet we knew so much about each other. After eating an insane amount of food, I went back to my rack to fall asleep.
"What are you doing? Don't we still have to study?"
I looked over at Lucas who had suddenly seemed to gain energy from eating and was now sorting through a pile of folders. He noticed me looking over, and smiled at me.
"I mean— I was gonna go to bed…"
"Okay, I can just finish sorting these then and soon I'll be in bed too."
I sighed as I began to fall asleep. This might not be so bad of a mission after all— It felt nice to have someone to trust, and to study with. When I woke up, I realized that I couldn't move, and I was no longer on the edge of the bed like I had been before. Panicking a bit, I turned around and to my surprise, Lucas was asleep next to me. He looked so peaceful— his angelic white hair was brushed slightly over his face; he kind of looked like a baby. Then I noticed his eyes start to open, and we were staring at each other.
"Good morning—"
His blue eyes began to lit up as he stirred, and I reached over to brush the hair out of his face. He smiled at me and blushed a little.
"I'm gonna get up now…"
He reached over me in an attempt to get up, but ended up falling a bit, catching himself right over me. I looked up at him, his arms pinning down mine with his knees on either side of me. Looking down at the shirtless Lucas, I saw his abs and v-cut. I blushed and looked up at Lucas, who was now nearing closer to my face. Eh— why not… I interlocked my legs around his back, pushing his face even closer to mine. I could feel his breath on my lips and holy shit was this dude hot.
-KNOCK KNOCK-
Oh, what perfect timing. Just PERFECT. Just like they did at the Function House, the knock was just an informant saying that whoever was there was going to come in no matter what you said. I looked over to see Erik standing in the doorway with a few files in his hands.
"Well well. I knew you'd try to pull that shit, Lucas…"
I butted in to stop him from saying anything else.
"It's not what you think, Master Erik— he just fell trying to get over me."
I heard him chuckle and throw down the files onto my desk.
"I know it's fine. You aren't crying like you were with Clark, and I know you've had a thing with Lucas. Everyone does— he's like an angel."
Hearing him walk away and closing the door, Lucas kissed me by surprise. I didn't even care at that point, Lucas was practically my everything. I mean, he even saw all of me when Clark raped me, yet he still seemed attached to me. In the Function House, my Shiki had some kind of grudge against me, and usually put out her anger against me. Usually, this was prohibited, but for some reason the Authorities never caught wind of what was going on. At the end of every class she would ask me to stay back while the rest of the kids went back to their cell blocks. It was almost like yesterday— the sound of the whips being taken out of the drawer, the clanking of the work boots against the old wooden floor. She whipped me after class for being so smart— and that I wasn't supposed to exist in this generation. My back held the majority of the scars where the whip had dug in. I had a few on my front, but it just seemed like a few minor slashes. Over the years, my scars had grown more nerve endings than the rest of my skin, making it extremely vulnerable for me.
"Stop thinking about the past."
I looked up to see Lucas' face leering above mine. Wrapping my legs around his back once again, I pulled him in to another kiss. I could hear his moans through my lips, and at that moment I decided enough was enough.
"Why are you stopping—"
I found Lucas' face to be bright red, making his hair seem even more white and his eyes even more blue.
"You're too embarrassed. Let's just stop for now."
As he finally got up and over me, I could see the bulge in his pants as plain as day. I blushed and rolled over to hide my red face.
"You might want to take care of that— if you want, I can leave."
"Ah--"
I could pretty much hear the embarrassment in his voice, the shakiness apparent from his voice crack. Not really giving him much of a choice to respond, I left the room quietly and decided to go find Erik. He had asked me earlier to find him to get more information on the mission details.
-KNOCK KNOCK-
"Come in."
I walked in to see Erik laying back in his chair with his feet resting on the large oak desk like it was the usual thing to do. He looked up from reading a book to see who had entered the room and noticed it was me.
"Ah, you and Lucas already finished? I knew he had no stamina…"
"Pffft…"
I began laughing at what he'd just said, considering that's probably what would have happened if I'd have not stopped him.
"I actually had to stop Lucas (lol). Anyways, I'm here to get more information on the mission that I received yesterday. Like-- who is getting me into the zone, who is getting us out, what's Plan B, etc. I don't want to turn a blind eye to my first mission."
Erik smiled hearing that I actually was asking questions.
"It's nice to hear that you are taking initiative. I'm actually going to direct you to your Mission Coordinator, which is Kira. I'm sure you know her, right?"
I nodded my head and continued to stand there quietly. Then I heard footsteps coming from the halls and two people stepped in from behind me. Turning around, I wasn't quite shocked to see Clark and his female friend, Sarah. What did surprise me however, was that Clark and Sarah both had handcuffs and ankle cuffs on and were bound by a thick metal chain. Then Erik began to explain.
"If you haven't really noticed, Clark's room has been cleared, and he's being sent to a Co-Ed Rehabilitation Facility tomorrow morning. What he did to you was of course not right, but also was not his first strike against the Head of Domains. Neither was it for Sarah. They've been in this tug of war with me as long as I knew them… this was really my last straw."
At this point, Erik seemed to be talking to Clark and Sarah at this point. I decided to head out to get back to the dorms completely unaware of why I had left in the first place. When I got to my room, I walked in like I normally did, but to my surprise for about 3 milliseconds, I saw Lucas under his blankets…
"GAH?!"
He shot his head up when I came in the room, and I really didn't mean to interrupt or startle him. I sighed and looked to the other wall.
"Were you just about to finish?"
"Y-yeah…"
"5 more minutes."
After that, I left. Even though my heart was pounding out of my chest, I sounded so calm and collected. Every time I was with Lucas, my chest would hurt. I sat down in the hallway next to the door to catch my breath when the door reopened as Lucas stepped out. Barely able to meet him in the eye, I walked right past him and flopped down over my rack.
"You okay?"
Lucas asked, still panting and a bit out of breath.
"Hey Lucas, what do you think love feels like?"
--
A/N: -que "What is love" song-
--
"Well… I've never been in love… but my Shiki always told me that it felt like you were having a heart attack when the person you were in love with was both away from you and when they were super close. He also told me that it was like taking steroids-- that you would feel like the most euphoric person in the world… I really wish I could love someone."
I sighed, hoping that he would give me at least an answer I would like more.
"My heart… hurts when I'm around you-- Lucas."
Turning my head away, I curled up on my rack and clutched my chest which was pounding at a million beats per minute. After hearing some shuffling, my rack sank down on the aisle side and I felt a sudden warmth as well as a pressure. Soon enough, my heart rate began to slow down, and my chest eased up.
"Is this-- better?"
His voice was so close now, and it wasn't like when he kissed me before. Now I knew I had some kind of affection for him, and with his voice and body being so close-- it just made me more happy than I had been in my life. More happy than when I was appointed as a Class SSA-0003 Object, more happy than when I got to meet my parents on the weekends during the first two years of the Function House, and more happy than seeing a full meal in front of me for the first time.
"Y-yes…"
Finally gaining a bit of courage, I rolled over to face him and hug him back. Once again, our faces were close together, and our eyes were interlocked in a trance that could not be broken. The longer I stared, the more of the little things I noticed about him. The freckle on his left cheek, the sweat beads still arranged in a neat pattern on his forehead from when he was... I blushed thinking about what he just did. He was literally using those same hands to hug me, in a completely passionate way, and he just did that with his hands. Seemingly reading my thoughts, he laughed.
"You were just thinking about how I used my hands to masturbate, weren't you?"
I smirked, this seemingly mature conversation so silly and prominent to have, especially at such a passionate moment like this.
"Yeah, I was."
After thinking a little more, I took one of the arms that was wrapped around me and held it up in front of my face. His hands were large yet delicate and soft-- almost like a woman's. Then, I placed his palm to my nose and took a deep breath, inhaling deeply and smelling the scent of him. Seeing through his fingers, I could see that Lucas was blushing insanely hard at seeing me do this, so I decided that this was my opportunity to do something back for embarrassing him earlier. I placed one of his longer fingers in my mouth, and sucked on it intentionally hard. The salty-bittersweet taste coming off from having his juices on his hand were all now flowing into my mouth. As I was sucking his fingers, I noticed him staring at my breasts through the V-cut in the shirt I was wearing.
"Hey Lucas…"
"Hm?"
He was now looking directly at me.
"You wanna do more than just looking?"

A/N: //UwU\\ I can't believe that I just made the MC confess! I didn't think I'd make it happen so soon, but I guess I can't really stop it now! (Lol). Things are going to get quite steamy, and that's probably because I've been writing up a STORM on my other story; "After Work Hours." Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chap, make sure to leave a comment or a power stone if you do so feel obliged!
