Last Time on Beauty With the Brains:
Rose leaned over and placed a hand on his knee. "Bastion, listen to me. You're very sweet offering your bed to me, but you were pretty much forced into it."
"Why don't we just both share the bed?" Bastion suggested.
A painful yowl was heard throughout the Ra dorm, making the two teens jump up.
"What was that?" Rose asked.
"I don't know. It sounded like a cat of some sort." Bastion responded.
"Well, Keely's sound asleep and Sakura is a quarter dog-demon, so she wouldn't yowl. Unless… OH NO!!!" Rose opened the window and stuck her head out of it.
"Roe, what are you doing?" Bastion asked.
Rose's gaze swept the area until she looked in the direction of her window. "There we go!" She jumped out of the window and ran towards where she was looking. The good part was that Bastion's room was on the first and only story.
"Rose, get back here. It's past curfew! The guards might catch you." Bastion called after her, but not too loudly.
"Alright. Sheesh, you sound like you have a stick up your ass." Rose mumbled as she scooped up something into her arms. She climbed through the window and placed the thing she was carrying on the bed.
"Is that…?" Bastion started, looking at it.
"Yeah. It's a mountain lion cub." Rose said sitting next to it, stroking its fur. She lifted up her hand and it was painted a crimson red.
"May I see it?" Bastion asked.
"Alright. Can you please take a look at it while I go change?" Rose asked.
"Sure." He responded. She smiled at him, grabbed her duffel bag, and headed to the bathroom.
"Let's first see if it's male or female so that we can stop calling it 'it'." He sat on the bed, lifted the black cub, and placed it on his lap, stomach side up. He placed it back on the bed after a few minutes and decided that since the bathroom was occupied, he should change in the empty room. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a muscle shirt and a pair of boxers and started changing. Rose walked out a few minutes after Bastion started to change.
"The bathroom's all yours, Bast…" Rose started. She stopped walking and tried not to drool. He had on a pair of black boxers and had no shirt, showing off his sculpted torso. The male Ra turned around and started blushing.
Rose was wearing a white form-fitting tank top and grey booty shorts. The tank top had a slight scoop neck, so a little bit of cleavage was showing and showed off her curves. The booty shorts complemented her small butt and muscular but shapely legs. Her straight hair was also left down, ending in the middle of her back.
"Um…you wear that to bed?" they both asked at the same time.
"Yes. If you are uncomfortable, I could change into less revealing." Rose said as she pointed her thumb back into the bathroom.
"No, it's fine. It's not revealing at all." Bastion said quickly. "I just have to put on a shirt and I'll be fine." He pulled on the shirt over his head as Rose sat down next to the cat, who was sleeping the whole time.
"You find out anything?" Rose asked, looking at Bastion.
"She's a female and she has several cuts on her torso and all four of her legs. They aren't very deep, but they'll become infected if not treated soon." Bastion said as she looked through her bag.
"Aha, there we are." Rose pulled out a first aid kit and some cat treats. She looked up and saw Bastion's face. "You never know."
"Good point." Bastion shook the cat gently. She opened her yellow eyes and looked at Bastion. She put her forepaws on his chest and looked at his face closely. He started to scratch her behind the ears and she licked his face in response.
"Aw, she likes you." Rose said as she sat on the bed next to him. She pulled out some gauze and disinfectant spray from the first-aid kit. "Sasha, come here." The cat looked at Rose and bounded over to her.
"Sasha?" Bastion asked, an eyebrow raised.
"She looks like a Sasha to me. And it seems like she responds to it. What do you think?" She responded as gave Sasha a cat treat to distract her from the sting of the disinfectant.
"As long as she responds to it without getting mad. She looks like she can cause some damage with those claws." Bastion said as Rose sprayed the disinfectant on the cuts. Sasha didn't even flinch.
"Alight. Let's get you wrapped up Sasha, and then we can go to bed." Rose started wrapping the gauze around Sasha's legs and torso.
"So, we'll share the bed?" Bastion asked again.
"Sure, why not? It's not like you're going to do something to me in my sleep. I trust you enough that I can allow you to go near me while I sleep" Rose said as she tucked in the last bandage. "All done."
Sasha bounded over to the foot of the bed and fell asleep.
"We should be going to bed too." Bastion said, looking at the clock.
Rose climbed into the bed on one side and Bastion the other, both sitting upright with their backs against the pillows.
"Sasha, viene aquí." Rose called to the cub. Sasha opened her eyes, looked at Rose and bounded towards them. She walked over to Bastion and started to rub herself against him, purring.
"Was that Spanish?" Bastion asked, scratching Sasha.
"Yeah. I told her to come here. Traveling forces me to learn several different languages. Like when I said good night to Sakura in English" Rose said looking at him and Sasha. "You've always had a way with animals. And also babies in general."
"Thank you." Bastion said, blushing. "You should really go to bed. You have a big day tomorrow."
"I don't want to think about it." Rose said, her eyes sad.
"Why not? Anyone would kill to be in your shoes." Bastion said looking at her. Sasha meowed and walked over to Rose, sensing her sadness.
"Did you ever think that I wanted a normal life? Does any ever think that I'm tired of being chased constantly? And does anyone realize that their only way to gain information about me is if paparazzi constantly stalk me." Rose ranted, "Just because I hugged a fan that claims that she was gay, people thought I was also gay and that she was my lover!"
"You're not gay, are you?" Bastion asked, shock in his eyes.
"Bastion, I can't believe you! You actually believe that crap?" Rose yelled at him, tears streaming down her face.
"Of course not, Rose." Bastion assured her. He wrapped his arms around her and brought her face to his chest. "Ignore it. You know it isn't true. What happened to the Rose in middle school who told me not to care what other people thought of me?"
"She became famous and was constantly surrounded by paparazzi." Rose responded softly into his chest.
"I don't care if you're famous or not. You're still Rose. The girl that has been my best friend since elementary school and that will never change." Bastion said, stroking her hair. She just sat there for a second and started to cry silently again.
Sasha looked at her new masters and glared at Bastion. Master is soooo blind. Even though I've only meet them 10 minutes ago, I have a strong feeling about their relationship.
Bastion looked down at her with a worried face. "Are you sure everything's okay now?"
"Yeah." Rose looked up at him. Her eyes were slightly red and her lips slightly swollen when she bit her lip in frustration.
"Alright. Let's get some sleep." Bastion turned over to the lamp and turned it off.
Rose sat in the darkness for a while, taking in the new surroundings. She felt at home when Bastion slung his arm protectively on her stomach. She leaned into his embrace and peacefully fell asleep.
