Hey guys, thanks for the reviews on my first fanfiction! I very much appreciate the feedback. I am also appreciative of suggestions for the events of this story because I think it would be fun to see if I can put some of the suggestions in. Sorry about the short wait. I have school stuff to deal with so you know how that goes. This chapter isn't the most interesting in the world, but it does foreshadow some things that I want to use in the story later. Thanks again for reading, and enjoy!
Chapter 2
As we walked into the house, I saw a look of curiosity and concentration(?) come across Serena's face.
In order to stop myself from wanting to ask what she was thinking about, I suggested that we put her bags into her room.
"That sounds good." She said back to me.
The both of us then proceeded down the hall directly to the left of the entrance. We stopped at the second door on the left.
"Well, here is your room. I'm sorry that it isn't much. I didn't have a lot of time to prepare."
I opened the door to reveal plain room with walls painted sky blue. The most noticeable thing in the room was the sign hanging on the wall directly opposite of the door that said "Welcome Home!" in big letters. Other than the sign, the room had a queen sized bed, a dresser, a desk, and a nightstand.
"This is perfect. I love it!." She said with an excited tone.
"Do you really like it?" I asked her back.
"Yes! I really wanted something like this so I could make it my own room and not have anybody else's stuff around that I have to watch out for." She said back.
"Well, I'm glad that you like it. Let's unpack shall we?" I say to her while putting her suitcases on the bed.
Opening the one closest to me up I spot her clothes, more specifically, her underwear. I saw some things in there that I only thought existed in Ecchi light novel series. She had a pair of panties that was practically dental floss. After seeing all of this, I couldn't help but blush a little. It seems that Serena must have noticed because she started to cutely giggle and have her hand cover her mouth while doing so.
"Uhhh... did you want to unpack this suitcase? I could always unpack the other one." I said to her.
"You're not scared of it are you? I think that a big man like yourself could handle a little underwear right?" She said teasingly back at me.
"Fine. I'll unpack this one." I said, for some reason feeling defeated.
Both of us then started to unpack and put away her various things. All the while we had idle chatter to pass the time.
"So, Paul, how old are you?"
"I'm 24. Same question to you."
"I'm 28. I might look older than I actually am because my species tends to look more mature."
"Huh, I didn't know that. I just thought that you were just an older Devil or something like that. So I guess Elder Devil is a subspecies?"
"Yep, Elder Devils look more mature, and we can also live longer than the lesser devil and greater devil subspecies."
"That's interesting to know. I have a question for you now Serena. Why did you want to become an exchange student?"
"I joined because I thought that getting to learn about human society was something that I would need in life. Especially if I am going to get a human mate." She said, whispering the last part to herself.
"Yeah, it's pretty much the same concept for me but the other way around. I want to get to know other species and learn about them so I can get a better perspective of how other cultures interact." Paul said.
Our conversation went on for about five more minutes before we were done unpacking.
"Well, since we are done unpacking, did you want a quick tour of the house?" I ask her.
"Yes, that sounds lovely." She said back to me.
"Okay then." I say to her while exiting the room. I then point at the door directly across the hall to hers. "This is my room, if you ever need something at night or whenever I'm in there, don't hesitate to ask."
Walking back towards the entryway, I stopped at the door that we passed to get to Serena's room. "This is the restroom, I think it's use is self-explanatory, but I'll still go over how to use the shower." I say while walking inside. "So this is a bath-shower so you need to turn on the water then press this little button here to turn the shower on. This lever controls how hot and cold the water can be. Also, there is a removable shower head to get any hard to reach places." I say to her.
Serena seemed to be a little interested in the removable shower head but couldn't dwell on it for too long because I started to move back into the entryway of the house. "In here is the entryway-slash-living room. I'm in here most of the time if I'm not working, in my room, or in the kitchen. Here is where you can watch TV and I have some video games if you want me to teach you how to play sometime."
Walking a little past the living room we came upon the kitchen. "Here is the kitchen, we make all of our food here. Speaking of which, is there anything that you would especially like to eat?" I ask her.
"Anything that comes from you will be just fine." She said back. That sentence sort of felt off in a way, but I couldn't exactly put my finger on it so I just ignored it.
"I also have a basement, the door is right over there," I say pointing behind Serena, to a door that is near the fridge, "but I mainly use it for storage, and if there is a bad storm or something like that. Anyway, there's your tour for you, as always your tour guide is up for questions if you have any." I say jokingly. "Oh, I forgot to ask, did you eat lunch yet?"
"Yes, I did eat lunch... It wasn't very good though." She said a little bitterly.
"Did you want to watch TV or something?"
"That sounds good I could use a little time to relax."
We both then went back into the living room and I flipped on the TV and sat on the couch. Serena then sat very close to me and snuggle up against my arm and sort of rubbed her head on it like a cat. 'Oh boy,' I thought, 'what have I gotten myself into?'
