Albedo stared at the tiled floor in front of him. He smiled a goofy smile, but he couldn't be bothered to change it. He wasn't sure when the science book he had set up on the stool in front of him fell to the floor. Probably from when he had kicked it, when he stretched out his legs.
He couldn't bring himself to look down at his lap, or his hand. He focused on his breathing, but that didn't help much to stop the pounding in his chest or the aftermath of the feeling lingering in his limbs. It was like his nerves had been on fire, and every part of his brain required for higher functioning took a siesta.
"I know why humans do this so much now...I think." He breathed. He closed his eyes, tilted his head so he was facing his lap and opened his eyes a peek. He slowly opened his eyes wider, laughing at himself. "What else were you expecting, fool?" He murmured.
He stared down at his now flaccid penis, and the semen covering his hand. He directed his eyes upward and shuddered as he gently ran his fingers along his length. "It's so much stronger than normal." He took a deep breath and shuddered again. "I will need to research if it should take so long though."
He settled back, pressing his back against the toilet's tank. He shuddered against the cold. "I really shouldn't..." He smiled again, though this one was less enthusiastic than his previous smile, "I have so much work to do..." He looked down at himself again. "I think I may become addicted...," he spoke after a few moments.
"Humans are too unintelligent to find other things to do with themselves. More productive things. So they find the most pleasurable things. The best things..." He didn't think he could stop his hand even if he wanted to.
The doorbell rang. He wasn't sure if it was a curse or a blessing. He froze in his motions, "Is this what Jenrya means when he says 'learn to use your damn keys,' to his family members?" He wondered aloud.
The doorbell rang once more. Albedo groaned, standing on shaky legs. Maybe whoever was at the door would go away if he took too long. He started to clean up slowly, but after knocking too many things over he decided to speed things up a bit.
He ran a hand through his now dry hair and wrapped a towel around his waist. He kicked up the toilet seat lid with his foot as almost an afterthought motion.
Now the phone was ringing. Albedo looked at the ID, and cursed. Loudly. He was mildly amused how quickly an adrenaline rush from pleasure could turn into an adrenaline rush from something completely different.
"I heard you curse!"
He turned to the doorway, "I'm going to kill that woman." He growled. "She said he wouldn't bother me here. That he didn't know where this place was." He walked over to the door.
He unlocked it and opened it. Jenrya stared at him. Albedo drank in his appearance. His silver eyes were puffy, and his cheeks flushed. He held his cell phone in one hand; the other hand hung limp at his side.
Albedo narrowed his eyes, "Go away." Jenrya opened his mouth to speak. Albedo slammed the door in his face. He turned around snagging a quick glance at the clock, 'Surely I didn't...' Albedo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, 'Ignore him or you'll be late.'
"I am not busy today!" Jenrya called through the door. "I'll stand here until you get bored of me. Then I'll slip inside with Jeri."
Albedo rolled his eyes. "And get arrested for loitering, soliciting and perhaps harassment along the way." He murmured as he pulled the shirt from his bed. He caught sight of the lotion and the rectangular bottle sitting on his bed, "Cologne..." Albedo shook his head. "Darn woman."
He finished getting dressed. He moved to brush his teeth. It got curiously quiet. Against his better judgement, for he knew he was right, he opened the door again. 'Perhaps it was just to prove myself right.' He stared at Jenrya as he brushed his teeth. Albedo couldn't tell if Jenrya moved when the door was closed or just stood like one of the lesser Galvan. He couldn't be bothered to wonder about it more than the five seconds it took for him to realize he should close and lock the door back and to actually do so. He continued getting dressed.
'I should have taken that nap instead.' He yawned as he closed the door and locked it. "If you're going to follow me, don't." Albedo closed his eyes. Jenrya stood next to him. "I'm headed to Waseda University. You'll go all that way just to be kicked off campus." He took a deep breath.
"Just talk to me..." Jenrya whispered.
Albedo had the feeling Jenrya wasn't considering this conversation. "When I am done." He replied. He shook his head, not sure how he knew, but the words came out anyway. "And stop crying. It's unbecoming of such a higher being." He turned to face Jenrya.
His fists were clenched tightly. He bit his lip and his eyes shined, and not in a good way.
'Dammit all.' Albedo kept his face impassive. "I have things I need to do. When I-"
"-I don't want you to prove anything to me. I don't need you to." Jenrya spoke softly.
Albedo studied him. "I believe you are lying." Albedo narrowed his eyes, "You aren't thinking straight enough for proper conversation." He ignored Jenrya's frown. "Quit acting as though I am leaving the country. Though I should, I have no means to, and just saying it sounds more ridiculous than I would like to admit."
Jenrya leaned against the wall. He slid down it, hands covering his face. Albedo sighed. He placed a hand on top of his head. His blue hair was somehow both soft and rough under his hand, and his hand tingled, setting his nerves awry. He held his hand there for a few moments, though he was only slightly sure why. He lifted his hand, grabbed his bag and walked off. Jenrya's sobs made Albedo wonder if the male just discovered rogue DNAliens killed his family.
