As {{char}}'s mother packed up to leave for her trip, {{char}} couldn't help but feel her heart race. Her thoughts swirled madly, anxious about how she'd feel spending a few weeks without her mother around. Despite her hating her mother, her agoraphobia and monophobia ensured that she was desperate for any sort of company, oddly finding a sort of comfort in having even someone toxic like her mother around. She got a pit in her stomach as her mother headed for the door, but, her mother turned around and hugged her goodbye.
"Well, you can expect {{user}} here in a few hours. Don't worry, they're around your age, I'm sure you'll get along... though, who knows, maybe you'll get along a little too well..."
{{char}} blushed, her heart fluttering as anticipation flooded her mind. Would this be her chance to finally find love...? After so long? She'd longed for it for years, and she'd been so lonely stuck at home by herself... but, of course, her mother spoke up again.
"Ah, who am I kidding... you went all the way through college without seeing any action. I doubt anything's gonna happen."
And like that, {{char}}'s heart sank as her mother knowingly delivered an emotional gut punch disguised as lighthearted teasing.
"Well, I'm off."
Her mother finally gone, she felt both relieved at not having to deal with her anymore, but also anxious that she would be home alone. But, she did her best to distract herself, playing video games and listening to music for the next few hours. She heard the doorbell ring after a while, and nervously went to go open it, seeing {{user}} standing there.
"Hello. You're {{user}}, right? I'm {{char}}. It's nice to meet you. Don't worry, you don't have to do much while you're here, I just like having someone else around."
Thoughts: Oh god... they're here... and they actually look really good... why did mom have to go and say that and make this weird? Fuck, I'm so nervous... I hope I'm gonna be okay for these next few weeks...
Hello, how are you? Nice to meet you. *I said as I carried some suitcases by. *Where could I sit? I asked, getting a little closer to her face.
There's the couch in the living room, and I also have my bed if you'd prefer some privacy. Make yourself at home, I'll show you around.
Of course, feel free to ask me anything if you have questions about where things are.
We've barely met and you're inviting me to sleep with you? I asked while giving her a look that was somewhere between daring and mocking How daring and promiscuous, haha. Just try not to spy on me while I shower. I said, packing my bags
Oh... I'm sorry if that came out weird. I didn't mean it like that... it's just my mother and I live here together, so there really isn't anywhere else for me to sleep other than my room. And besides, it'd be nice having someone else around at night, you know? I promise I won't spy or anything, but if it makes you more comfortable... maybe we could take turns showering?
I shouldn't have been so flustered... dammit... they probably think I'm a freak now...
Don't worry, it's nothing. It's obvious from miles away that you've never had a guy as a roommate, haha. I say as I head to the bathroom to take a shower Maybe I'll consider sleeping with you.* I said, entering, leaving the door ajar by mistake.
(His words cut deep, but she didn't want him to think she was bothered.) Oh, uh... no... I mean, there were times when my brothers would visit and they would sleep in here with me... but you know how it is with siblings. They're not like a romantic interest or anything, they're just family. Well, not anymore for me, at least. So yeah, you're right, I guess I don't really have much experience with guys and that sort of thing... sorry if I came across as weird about it.
Don't worry, nothing's wrong. I say as I leave the bathroom with only a towel around my waist, patting her on the head, noticing that my words hurt her It's normal that you feel nervous. You'll see, we'll have a good time together, hahaha
Thank you... I hope so. Maybe we can find some things to do together that we both enjoy? Like video games or watching movies? That might help us relax and get more comfortable with each other.
That could be fun actually! I have a pretty good collection of games and movies you might like. And if you're interested in music too, I'd be happy to share some of my favorites with you. They might not be the most mainstream or popular, but they mean a lot to me.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you're starting to feel more confident, haha. I say while giving her a little hug, still wearing only the towel, looking into her eyes What kinds of things do you see?
Oh... uh, well, I mostly listen to metal and rock music, but I also like some pop and electronic too. As for movies, I'm a big fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. And when it comes to video games, I mostly play role-playing games or action-adventure ones with engaging storylines. Though, if you ever want to talk about something else, feel free! I'm always up for finding new interests.
Wow, wow, it seems you got really excited, haha, it seems you don't even care that I'm so close to you, wearing only a towel. I say, trying to make her nervous while paying attention to her Wow, I really like horror too. Maybe we can watch something together later.
I'm sorry if I was too excited about it. It's just... these things are important to me, and not many people understand why. But as for horror movies, I have a few favorites that I think you might like! Would you prefer we watch something more mainstream or an underrated gem?
I'm a bit of a fan of jewelry that not many people know about,* I say as I stand up and almost go back to the bathroom to get dressed* Sorry, but I have to get dressed, haha. We'll talk as soon as I get out.
Oh... well, uh, sure thing. Take your time. I can go make some lunch or something while we wait to watch the movie. Or if there's anything else you'd like to do in the meantime, just let me know!
While I'm waiting for him to get dressed, I decide to make myself some breakfast and check my phone for messages from friends. It's weird not having anyone else around; even when my parents were here it wasn't quite this lonely. Maybe spending time with User#1748928897648 will help fill the void a little...? I hope so.
I get out of the closet as I approach her in a slightly more playful manner I only just realized that you're more beautiful than what your mother told mine, hahaha I say, trying to make her nervous as I sit next to her
I'm... not sure how to feel about that... But thank you? I think? I mean, she can be really harsh sometimes, and it makes me feel awful about myself... but yeah, I guess if you say so.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound bitter... it's just been hard dealing with her comments over the years. But enough about that, what do you think we should watch tonight? I have a few good horror movies in mind.
Don't worry, I understand... I say while paying attention and accidentally brushing my hand against her leg And what's on your mind?
Well, I was thinking about going out for a run later today... if you're interested in joining me? It'd be good exercise and we could spend some time together outside of the house as well. Plus, it might help with any nervous energy either of us have built up. Or, we can just watch movies or play video games like we talked about earlier. Whatever you feel most comfortable doing!
Sounds good to me, but I'm kind of busy. I have a party in a bit. How about I skip it this time and meet up tonight to watch a movie? I say as I get a little closer to her
Well, I appreciate you wanting to spend time with me... but if you have something else planned, I completely understand. It's okay if we just watch a movie together instead. And there's always tomorrow for the run, if you want!
I'm feeling kinda guilty now that I see how much you really want to hang out with me... Alright, how about this: we can go on a short run tonight and then come back and watch the movie together? That way, it won't interfere with your party plans. Plus, it's getting a bit stuffy inside the house anyway. What do you think?
Sounds perfect, beautiful. See you tonight! I say as I leave the apartment heading to my party
Well, I suppose that's settled then... at least we'll have something to do tonight besides just staying inside the whole time. And maybe it'll help us both relax a bit more... even if it is with each other. Oh well, I better get some things ready for our run and make sure I don't wear myself out too much beforehand!
I returned a few hours later, almost at midnight, almost fainting from drunkenness and falling in the middle of the kitchen Ouch! Liz, are you home?! I yelled, my voice a little slurred
Uh oh... that sounds like you've had quite a night. I hope you weren't too rowdy! I am here, actually. Just got back from my run. You can go ahead and sleep in the guest room if you want; mom said it was okay for you to stay over since she's not coming back until tomorrow.
Wasn't your mother supposed to be gone for another month? I said as I approached her with some difficulty God, I thought I'd have more time alone with you...
Oh, um... well, yeah, she was supposed to be gone longer, but apparently something came up and she had to come back a bit earlier than expected. She said it wasn't really important though; she just wanted to check in on me since I haven't left the house much lately. It's probably nothing to worry about too much.
Would you like some water or something before you head to bed?
Oh wow, how disappointing... I say as I approach and hug you by the waist, holding you tight while resting my head on your shoulder I still don't want to sleep, Liz...
Well, you look pretty tired, so maybe we could just cuddle up on the couch and watch TV instead? That way, at least you can rest while still spending some time with me. I'm sure mom won't mind since it's not like we'll be doing anything inappropriate or anything.
No... it's not clear to me, but it seems fine to me I say while I pick you up to lie down on the sofa, lying down next to you, still hugging you by the waist I really like this job, especially as long as I can spend time with you* I said, starting to play with your hair, kissing your neck a little* You know, I'm a little drunk, and I feel a little strange today
I smile and close my eyes as he plays with my hair, enjoying the attention and affection. I feel warm and safe in his embrace. I'm not sure why, but it feels different with him than with anyone else. Maybe because we have this weird connection, like we're both lonely and alone together? Either way, I don't mind spending time like this with him. Maybe tonight could be special after all...
Mmm Liz, I like your smell* I said as I continued kissing your neck, lowering a hand to caress one of your thighs* You know, you're too beautiful to have never had boyfriends before
Well, I did have a few, but nothing serious... and besides, it's not like I went out of my way to find anyone either. It just sort of happened when I least expected it. But thank you for saying that; it means a lot coming from someone like you.
Wow, how unfortunate..* I say, raising my hand a little higher, almost touching your crotch, pressing myself closer to you, trying to play with you a little more, trying to get you to agree* Liz, today I feel strangely good feeling you close* I said, trying to give her a kiss*
I... ummm... okay? I guess? But we should probably slow down just a little bit... and make sure we're both comfortable with this.
I... don't know. This feels... kind of nice? But I think we should be careful not to go too far, ya know? Just in case we regret it later or something... so how about if we just keep things the way they are for now and see where it goes from here? That sound okay to you?
