The thing with us is… when I look at myself in the mirror… I don't look like her at all. If anything… I resemble Elysir a lot more, which is strange.
I now have a light brown skin. Pitch-black mane hair, golden slitted eyes.
On the other hand, my mother Reina, is a Caucasian beauty with mild Asian features and raven hair, a plump yet toned body that is certainly impossible for a Japanese woman to have and she's also tall. Her eyes are golden too and this is perhaps the only feature that we share.
Some people wondered if I was even her son... I even heard rumours during the school meetings, some thought she must have had a fling with some black man who abandoned her to buy some milk and I was the result.
Be it as it may, I don't doubt she's my mother… I mean… I watched her womb in 4K during my birth, I won't ever forget that. No wonder babies always come out crying… that place is uglier inside there than the underside of a car.
Ugh, I just got goosebumps recalling it.
...
"Hum hum~ Ray-chan, want to have a taste of mommy?"
"Eh?"
"I asked if you want to have a taste of what mommy cooked".
"Oh, sure".
And she has a quite peculiar sense of humour as well.
"What do you want to do for your tenth birthday?~ would you like to go somewhere special?"
"You're always working mom, now that you have free time I think is better if we just keep quiet"
"Don't say that… how can I be a good mother if I don't even celebrate your birthday properly? You have done well with your grades for the last semester, I must reward you"
As I said, she's very strict. Whether it is to punish me or to reward me.
"Then how about we get some fancy food and watch a movie? That would be enough for me!"
She rubbed her lips, thinking.
"Fancy food? What would you like? French cuisine maybe? Should I hire a private chef for the day?"
"…"
I resisted the urge to slap my forehead... that's why I don't hang out with rich people... even when I was rich.
"I love it when you cook. Make something tasty for me Mom. A cake, bake me a cake!"
Finally, I had some good ideas.
"A cake…"
She drifted. I know she's very good at cooking but cakes are not her speciality and she knows it so now I can suggest helping her, we can have a special time together and I can finally step into the kitchen where I barred from.
"How about we cook it toge-"
"I think I'll need to do a small cooking course".
"Mom..."
"Ray-chan wants to eat a tasty cake made by me for his birthday, it is in two weeks… I have two weeks to learn how to make the ultimate carrot cake".
'I love carrot cake and I know how to make it too… so why don't you just let me in the kitchen!?'
"Mom we can bake it together-".
"There are sharp objects in the kitchen Ray, that's a no-no. Be good and wait, alright? I won't disappoint you!".
"..."
**
**
"*sob* Mommy disappointed you *sob*"
It is been fifteen minutes and she is still cleaning her tears in front of the pile of charcoal she made.
"Please don't cry..." I tried to console her, my hands worked wonders as I patted her head and her mood improved visibly to the eye.
'I knew this was going to happen'.
She burned it. But it wasn't because she couldn't do it… for the last two weeks she had a lot of tests and trials and they were all tasty but not perfect. She ruined this one because of her over-eagerness to please me and anxiety at her failure.
When it comes to me... she can be quite extremist.
"Here, mom".
I packed something out of the fridge and put it on the table.
"Ray-chan? Did you make this!?" her reaction indicated she was about to get angry, thinking I had gone and cooked something in the kitchen at a mere ten years of age.
"No, I bought it".
It was a carrot cake. Of course, she wouldn't let me go in the kitchen so I just bought one with the spare change she gives me every week.
"And I got this too" I showed her a cassette with a movie we could watch on the DVD, I also got some drinks and snacks.
"Pulp Fiction? This movie...? I thought you'd like something more like this, that's for adults, Ray"
She showed me the one she got.
'Power Rangers...? No way, fuck that shit...!'
"Let's watch this one Mom!" I refuse to have my birthday ruined by the Power Rangers or Barnie.
In the end, she sighed and allowed me to do whatever I wanted even though the movie was not good for a ten-year-old boy to watch. Aside from the carrot cake she cooked some other dishes that were nice like paella and some appetizers, I should have invited my friend from elementary school, An-chan.
"Now we can have a good time~"
"Ray-chan… I love you".
"Love you too, Mom"
I like her, it is been ten years of happiness for me and I know at some point, once the system awakens, turmoils are bound to come back in my life. But at least I know that so far she has done her best for my life to be peaceful.
As we began watching the movie I had an idea to repay her.
"Do you want me to give you a massage?".
"Ah? Do you know how to give a massage?"
"Yes. I can rub your fingers".
"Rub fingers? fufu~ then let's eat first and then you can give me a message"
We watched the movie and ate everything together including half of the carrot cake which was very tasty. Halfway through she couldn't hold herself back anymore.
"Time for the massage. Wait a second, I want to keep watching the movie, it is interesting!"
She got herself in a good position, and then... began undressing.
"Mom... I'm just giving you some mild-"
"Mild? Give mommy a back massage, it's been bothering me lately. If my ray of light gives me a massage there, I'm sure it will go away".
'Sure but why are you getting completely naked just for a back massage?!'
She removed her skirt, shirt and stockings, and threw her underwear away showing me all of her bouncing self.
"It is so hot in here".
'It is suffocating damn it!'.
"I'm ready, do as you please".
She just threw herself on her stomach and started watching the movie, allowing me to do whatever I wanted. I mean... at least I'm not seeing anything- actually, I can see everything.
'Oh my god... she's always like this'.
In any case, I just took some moisturising lotion that she usually took and dipped some on her back.
"Ah!"
"Is it cold?"
"Yeah, a bit~ go on".
After there was enough I closed my eyes and straddled her waist, willing my powers for the first time, intending to get rid of any leftover pain, anxiety, diseases or infections that she may have. I wanted to leave her like a clean slate.
And so... I placed my hands on her back.
!!!!!!
"AHHH!!!~"
And I got a response way more extreme than what I had ever gotten in my previous life. She began shivering like her life was being plundered away.
"M-Mom?"
It took a whole minute for her to stop shivering after I removed my hands.
She turned back to look at me in a hazy state, blushing... then returned her gaze to the TV.
"D-Don't mind me, keep going... y-you just took mommy by surprise".
'Is that it?'.
What should I do now? her response was way more aggressive than anticipated I think I won't try to use my powers, I'll just give her a normal massage.
"Uhm~"
She moaned again but this time it was more of a normal one. As I continued some quite invasive smell entered my nostrils... something I'd recognise anywhere. This is such a lewd scent!
I couldn't help myself to look behind me to where her butt was and... the sofa was completely soaked.
'Oh my god... she had an orgasm'.
"What's wrong, Ray-chan?"
She looked back at me again as if trying to gauge my reaction.
"Why do you stop?"
"Nothing!".
"Keep going... it is feeling so good".
Is she trying to hide the fact that she just came? maybe she thinks I don't know about these topics.
"Mom, what's this smell?" I pried further, a bit amused at what her answer would be trying to explain herself.
"Oh, that?~ that's just the scent of mommy's love for you, it is very normal" She stated matter-of-factly with her head placed against the pillow.
"Eh? N-Normal?"
"Yes, when mothers love their sons uncontrollably like I do, sometimes they let out this scent so, don't think too much about it".
"Mom..."
'I knew you were full of bullshit!'.
I was astonished, could it be that she has a mother complex? actually what the hell am I even asking? Of course, she has a mother complex. But does it stop there? I hope so... perhaps giving her a massage was a bad idea.
