Rose dug her fingers into the table, trying not to make a sound or blush. But she was failing at both of these things. A soft moan slipped out of her lips, and her cheek were painted a bright red. Even still, Rose Lalonde stood straight ahead and tried not to look back at the girl behind her. She tried to just... feel.
She felt curious hands graze over her rear-hands exploring her ass with such disregard that it was objectifying. As if these hands owned her. Controlled her.
"Don't move so much," said Vriska. Rose complied. And then a short while later, "Hike up your dress."
Rose blinked in surprise, turning now to finally look at Vriska. "I'm getting contradicting commands here."
"Just do it, already!"
Rose rolled her eyes but followed along with this, pulling up her orange god tier "dress" and exposing her soft purple panties. "And it's not a dress, it's a robe."
"Blah blah blah." Vriska almost slammed Rose onto the table, causing the human girl to gasp softly. Rose peered back at Vriska with her growing blush, looking surprised. "You alright? I thought you wanted this."
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just," Rose paused for a moment. "...This isn't what I had in mind when we spoke of black romance."
"Don't worry, you're new, so I'm easing us into that," said Vriska.
"But now? Anyone can just walk in, and..." Rose eyed the entrance from her position. True, it was relatively late, but time was out of whack to begin with. Rose felt Vriska tug at her panties, pulling them back and then letting go. The band snapped against Rose's curvaceous rear, the flesh jiggling nicely in its purple cradle.
"Fuck, that's hot. You have a nice ass, I'll give you that."
"You should take a look elsewhere. Perhaps we could go somewhere more private."
"You sound eager to get to my block." Vriska teased, giving Rose's ass a little slap. Rose bit her lip to suppress her moan, noticing the way that Vriska was leering at her body. This was foreign, yet familiar. Kanaya gazed at Rose with reverence, but Vriska looked at Rose almost possessively, and in the back of her mind, Rose knew that this was something she probably should avoid, but like a moth to a flame, she was drawn in. She couldn't shake this feeling of lust. No one must know.
"I wouldn't complain," said Rose carefully, as if trying to pick the right words, "But..."
"Butt," Vriska gave Rose's ass another slap, "You're conflicted."
Rose could only nod. Vriska rolled her eyes.
"Look, this isn't love, Rose," began Vriska, "I don't expect humans to understand, but black romance is different."
"I have a gist of what it is, it's just..." Rose trailed off. Vriska pouted.
"Do you want to stop? If you feel like shit afterwards, don't blame me. So here's your chance to back out."
Rose was pleasantly surprised that Vriska cared in that regard. Feeling shame creep up on her, Rose stood up and adjusted her robes, turning back to Vriska with a pout of her own. "I'm sorry."
"Don't feel sorry, that's stupid."
"It's not stupid to feel sorry, Vriska. I just... feel a bit confused right now. Okay? Perhaps I'll be ready to dip my toes into the pool of black romance another time..."
"Fine." Vriska crossed her arms. "Just wish you told me sooner, you know. I was getting into it!"
"Excited, you mean?" Rose leaned back against the table, looking curious.
"Um, yeah? I thought that was obvious." Vriska smirked, stepping closer to Rose.
"Sorry to stifle your fun. I suppose a reason I feel nervous is because I don't actually know what I'm dealing with."
"What do you mean?"
Rose sighed, rubbing the back of her neck. "I didn't think I'd have to talk about this at all, let alone tonight. But, well, troll anatomy is lost on me."
"What? Oh God, is that seriously it? Haven't you and Kanaya "explored" each other or something?" Vriska's hands found Rose's hips almost on their own. Yet Rose didn't flinch this time. In fact, amusement crept up on her face.
"Not at all," said Rose, "Not once."
"Are you two even REALLY matesprits?" asked Vriska. Rose frowned.
"I've barely breached the topic of, well... that. It's clear that she holds strong feelings for me-"
"Oh my God, you two aren't even a couple?"
"We're not girlfriends if that's what you're asking." Rose looked visibly bothered now. "We're nothing official, Vriska. It's also none of your business."
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I offend you? Are you going to cry?" Vriska smiled, exposing her fangs.
"I haven't cried since I was a child, but I thank you for the concern."
"Well, you know me! Always looking out for everyone."
"Oh yes, you're the epitome of kindness."
Vriska scoffed, yanking Rose closer to her by the hips, letting her fingers run over the fabric of Rose's orange robes. "You're getting better at this blackrom stuff already. You do a damn good job of pissing me off."
"Is that right?" Rose smiled at that, looking up at Vriska's face. She made no effort to remove the hands on her hips. In fact, Rose found herself getting closer. "And I'm supposed to interpret this as... flirting?"
Vriska rolled her eyes. "You're denser than I thought."
"Vriska, I already told you," said Rose, "I don't know if I'm..."
"If you're WHAT, Rose? You're not moving away or pushing me, and my hands are still here." She gave Rose's rump another grope, and admittedly, Rose Lalonde was finding herself getting more and more turned on.
"Color me curious, I suppose." Rose cleared her throat. "...Kanaya and I are not a couple, no. But this still feels like betrayal." Vriska rolled her eyes.
"Rose, you and Fussyfangs have red romance going on, and this would be pitch romance. For fuck's sake, am I supposed to get you a dictionary or something?"
"Perhaps so, if it would help."
"Oh, ha ha ha. You're so fucking witty." Rose smiled at that, bringing her own hands down over Vriska's. They shared a silent moment together, staring into each other's' eyes, trying to gauge for reactions. After a moment, Rose began to worry that Vriska may be able to hear her nervous heartbeat. That Vriska might turn this against her in an argument or something of the sort.
Instead, Vriska hoisted Rose up and onto the table, keeping a hand planted firmly on either side of Rose, on the cool metal surface. Rose swallowed hard and didn't protest or complain. Instead she stared up at Vriska, and waited. She was probably still blushing, much to her own annoyance. Half of Rose wanted to know just what she was doing, and the other half of Rose wanted to know just what would come next.
Quietly, Vriska brought her face close to Rose's, keeping that domineering smirk plastered on her face. Then, Vriska pulled away before a kiss could even come to pass. Rose was almost disappointed, until Vriska ran her fingers along Rose's legs, caressing her with an odd amount of care. Rose's eyes fluttered closed, and she sighed.
"Has anyone EVER touched you like this?"
The question made Rose's eyes open again in surprise. It was not a question she was expecting. But Vriska looked at Rose seriously, so Rose would reply seriously. "No..."
"Seriously?"
"What are you getting at?" asked Rose, almost insulted. Vriska smirked.
"Color me curious, I suppose." She copied Rose's words and tried to mimic her voice, and while Rose was giving Vriska a dirty look, the ceruleanblood troll took the time to slide her hands up from Rose's legs and up to her hips, scrutinizing the human's body further. "Does it feel good?"
Yet another question that took Rose off guard. Something she never thought she'd ever hear, let alone from Vriska. "It feels... nice."
"Just nice?" Vriska kept her hands on Rose's hips, caressing them with a strange gentleness that Rose never thought possible from Vriska Serket. "C'mere."
Vriska stopped caressing Rose's hips for just a moment, grabbing Lalonde's legs and hooking them around her frame. With her legs wrapped around Vriska now, Rose blinked in surprise. "What are you-"
"Shh." Vriska went back to feeling up Rose's body, dragging her hands up and down her legs, running them over Rose's stomach and then back again. A sigh escaped Rose's lips.
In no time at all, Vriska's lips found their way to Rose's neck. First, a small kiss.
"Ahh..." Rose's eyes closed once again, face flush with embarrassment.
"And that? How's that feel?" Vriska's voice was a quiet whisper.
"Very nice..."
Vriska laughed, and dragged her tongue across Rose's neck quickly. This caused Rose to gasp in surprise.
"Ah!"
Vriska pulled back and flicked her finger against Rose's nose, causing the human to recoil back in irritation.
"What the-What's your problem?" asked Rose, scowling. She rubbed her nose and kept her glare on Vriska.
"You're such a goddamn dork," said Vriska. "Can't handle a little pain? How do you expect to be pitch without taking some punishment?"
"You're awful."
"And your legs are wrapped around me." Vriska winked.
Rose pulled away from Vriska, bringing her legs off of the troll. "Oh, bite me, Serket."
"Really? Already?" Vriska tried to do so, but Rose pushed her away suddenly.
"No, I wasn't being literal! Don't you dare bite me!"
"But you told me to bite you!" Vriska laughed, pushing back against Rose and trying to shove her arms away. "Come on, let me sink my teeth into your flesh, Rosie~"
"It's JUST Rose! Stop being a pest on purpose!" Rose growled with annoyance, having to wrestle away Vriska's arms in this little struggle of theirs.
"And stop being so loud," said Vriska, pinching Rose's leg. Rose hissed from the pain, listening to Vriska. "You want someone to find us?"
That was true, both girls were still in the lounge area. The others must have definitely resigned to their blocks for the evening.
Rose frowned. "You're so frustrating."
"Hey, I'm just giving you a taste of what it's like having a kismesis," said Vriska. Rose was nonplussed.
"Why on earth would anyone want to deal with this?"
"On earth? Hmm, maybe. On Alternia, though, it's different. Some trolls NEED a kismesis. Keeps them focused and balanced and it gives us someone to compete against."
"Compete against?"
"Yeah. It's a relationship based on trust, and rivalry."
"Rivalry?"
Vriska scowled, flicking a finger against Rose's forehead. "Are you human, or a parrot?" Rose rubbed her forehead and then delivered a kick against Vriska's side. When Vriska growled in annoyance, she pinched Rose's leg again.
"God, you're insufferable!" said Rose.
"Is that any way to talk to your teacher?"
"You're not a teacher, you're a nuisance."
Vriska sighed, pouting. "You're REALLY not getting this whole blackrom thing, are you?" Rose stayed quiet, then glanced down to the floor.
"Maybe the problem lies with the fact that I am human. We tend to outright IGNORE those who infuriate us."
"Really? That's so weird." Vriska's voice was almost sarcastic. "The question is, do you wanna continue?"
Rose looked back to Vriska, feeling awkward. "...Yes, and no. I think before this proceeds further, I'd like to know what I'm dealing with. Specifically, I'd love to be in the know when it comes to... anatomy. Troll anatomy."
"God, every time you say that, it sounds so weird to me. So what, you want to see my bulge or something?"
Rose rolled her eyes, but then... paused, rubbing her arm meekly. "Well..."
Vriska's eyes widened. "Well?"
"Well, since you've broached the difference between humans and trolls, perhaps you can actually fulfill your role as a teacher and... provide me with insight."
"Are you asking me to get naked?"
"I am NOT asking you to get naked, oh my God, please shut up." Rose pinched the bridge of her nose. "I just think that if anyone should inform me about troll anatomy, it may as well be the troll I've already wrapped my legs around." Despite the steadiness of her voice, Rose covered her face. "I cannot believe I just said that..."
Vriska laughed. "Oh Rose... Rose Rose Rose. You're something special, I'll give you that. You're lucky you're cute, too. Alright then, when do you want me to "provide insight" into troll body parts?"
"Maybe tomorrow. I need to go collect my thoughts. Maybe look myself in the mirror and then slap myself."
"You do that!" said Vriska, backing away from Rose. She stretched a bit, watching Rose keep her gaze focused. "Is this where we get off?"
"..."
"No pun intended, of course!"
"Yes. I'm going to bed." Rose scooted off the table and sighed, dusting herself off. "I'm begging you, please don't speak of this to anyone."
"Yeah yeah, I'll keep hush hush about it. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Vriska adjusted her glasses and winked. "That was fun, huh?"
"Fun is certainly... a word that I would use. This was interesting, to say the least. So, um..."
"So, yeah... Later, Lalonde." And with that, Vriska simply left as if nothing between them had just happened. Rose leaned against the table where only moments ago, she was sitting with her legs around Vriska, sighing under the troll's touch. Vriska seemed to be fascinated by Rose's body. At least that was the impression that Rose had gotten.
With a sudden silence creeping up on her, Rose walked to her own block and slipped into her room, locking the door with a sigh. Even as she crawled into bed and felt disgruntled, she couldn't deny that she was already craving more.
