Stein was gone…he was out AGAIN. Marie worried about him quite a bit when he was away. Was he overworking himself? Was he really where he said he would be? Was he in trouble? Was he succumbing to the madness even further?
Sighing, Marie looked around the house.
"This house needs to be cleaned…BADLY." She said putting her hands on her hips. "Does this man even own a broom?" she asked herself.
Marie first considered looking around to try and find some cleaning materials but decided it better not to as she might end up finding something disturbing. Grabbing her purse, Marie decided to go and buy the necessary equipment herself.
Stein….a place like this is unsanitary!
After returning from the store and setting her bags down she let out a groan; there was still so much to be done….
"Where did you run off to?" Stein asked, seemingly out of nowhere.
Marie let out a startled yelp.
"Oh Stein, it's you; you're back. I was just out buying some cleaning supplies; this house is completely disgusting!" Marie cried. "You're going to have to let me clean it."
"I don't mind, as long as you stay out of the lab." Stein said, turning the screw in his head.
"Fair enough! But honestly Stein….." Suddenly Marie's expression changed to one of pondering.
"What is it?" Stein asked, noticing the deep thought in her soul's wavelength.
"I just had a random thought is all." Marie said lightly.
"What is it?" Stein inquired, curious to discover more.
"Well, looking around the house made me think of raising a family…I guess looking into each home makes me think of family life. I was an only child and I guess I just thought that I always wished I could have had a sibling. It wasn't my parents fault. My mother had me, but after that she had to have a hysterectomy. I guess…I have always wanted a little sister!" Marie said with a cute smile and a heart replacing her eye, as she clasped her hands together.
Stein stared at Marie with a fake smile…a little sister.
Yes, I almost had one of those. When I was four years old, my mother discovered she was pregnant by my father again…I suppose I didn't care that much; I didn't hate it nor was I excited about having a sibling either. Oddly enough, my mother kept the child. I don't know what she was trying to accomplish; perhaps she was trying to restore some part of herself? Maybe it have her a sense of importance….or maybe she was trying to revive her relationship with my father once again…I don't know, but later on she found out that she was going to have a girl. She had a name picked out and everything. I suppose near the end, I began to wonder what she would look like or act like; my curious nature couldn't refrain from imagining her. But then…for whatever reason, at 8 months my mother decided she couldn't take the responsibility and pressure and aborted my unborn sister. Maybe the fact that she was going to have to mother a second child became more realistic as her due date approached. In a way though…I was glad my sister was never born; she would have had to endure the suffering under my mother that I did. However, I find it wrong what my mother did…my sister never had a chance to decide between life or death; my mother made the decision for her…
"Stein?" Marie's concerned tone said, as she tenderly touched his shoulder.
Stein shook his head and his eyes widened slightly as he realized just how long he had been spacing out.
"Are you ok?" Marie asked.
"Yeah I'm fine…" Stein replied.
"You sure…?" Marie asked, trying to make sure Stein was really ok.
You could never get this man to totally spill the beans to you though…he just wasn't that kind of man.
"Yes." He said. "I'm going to be in my lab." And with that he walked away, leaving Marie no chance to fit in another word.
Marie frowned a bit at Stein not trusting her with whatever he was going through. How could she help him if he wouldn't even tell her what was wrong?
"Well, this house isn't going to clean itself!" Marie said smiling once again. "Time to get to work!"
"Not wearing that!" a familiar voice cried enthusiastically.
Marie looked up to see a small purple cat hop though the window and land on the ground back into her human form.
"Oh, Blair; what brings you here?" Marie asked, still slightly surprised to see the cat show up so randomly.
"To fix you up!" she said playfully, as she eyed Marie up.
"What do you mean?" Marie asked with confusion evident on her face.
Blair giggled and glided up to Marie with a curious smile, before grabbing both of her boobs.
"H-hey!" Marie cried, pulling back immediately. "What do you think you're doing?"
"You've got a rather nice set there don't you? Why don't you show those girls off?" Blair asked playfully.
"I…what?" Marie asked still trying to catch up to the whole situation.
"Hehe, I brought you a present! Pumpkin, pum pumpkin!" Blair said cheerily.
With her chant said, a box of some sort came through the window.
"It was hard to carry in cat form!" Blair explained. "Hehe, I got you a present. You like the goofy professor right?" Blair winked.
Marie's face flushed.
"N-not so loud!" Marie cried. "And what does Stein have to do with anything?"
"Hmmm, you're going to be cleaning in this!" Blair said happily, opening the box and pulling out a sexy French maid outfit.
Marie immediately blushed heavily.
"I-I'm not wearing that!" Marie cried.
"Why not? I think that Stein boy would really like you in it!" Blair purred.
Marie opened her mouth to say something but no words came out.
"You neeed to wear this." Blair whined. "I paid good money for this."
"Then return it because there's no way I'm wearing something like that!" Marie growled.
"Hmmmmm let's play a game! If I win you have to wear that outfit the entire time you clean, and if you win I'll take the dress back!" Blair proposed.
Without thinking before she spoke, Marie immediately blurted out an answer.
"Fine!" Marie said.
Shit. She immediately regretted it.
"Good! Now let's play….rock, paper, scissors!" Blair said cutely.
Rock, paper, scissors? Seriously?
Marie groaned and held out her hands.
"Rock, paper, scissors!" they shouted together.
Marie won with rock beating scissors.
"Ha! That's one against you!" Marie said smirking.
They shot again….Blair won.
Marie gulped.
"Awww next one decides who wins!" Blair teased.
ROCK…PAPER…SCISSORS…..NO!
Marie gaped at her hand representing paper and Blair's being scissors.
"Hehe, haaave funn! Now let me see what you look like in it!" Blair said.
Shit….damnit! DAMN!
Returning from her room with her head hung, Marie stood in front of Blair with a reddened face.
"Oh! You look so sexy!" Blair cried.
Marie groaned…she felt beyond embarrassed.
At least Stein isn't here to see me…..
"HEY CREEPY PROFESSOR! MARIE NEEDS YOU!" Blair screamed before taking off.
Marie gasped and hid behind a couch instantly…no..way!
Stein emerged about 20 seconds later.
"Marie…why is Blair over?...Marie?" Stein asked.
"Um….don't laugh…ok?" Marie said with humiliation in her tone.
"Um...ok?" Stein said, not understanding why Marie was hiding behind his couch.
GULP…Now he knew.
Marie stood before him in an extremely short French maid costume….low cut, revealing half of her breasts, and so short that it barely covered her bottom…oh….wow.
…..?
"Um….I….was going to….clean…" Marie choked.
Stein was still in shock, but turned around.
Marie's face turned to one of complete and utter horror.
He thinks I'm hideous and ridiculous!
Little did Marie know, that it was quite the opposite. It was damn sexy. Yes it was ridiculous, but even Stein couldn't deny that Marie looked…tempting to say the very least.
If this wasn't sexual temptation, then Stein didn't know what was.
He found a mixture of natural male instinct combined with the madness, begging him to turn around and forcefully fulfill every last desire that he had.
He wanted to play with those long, beautiful, shapely legs. He wanted to run his hands all over her curvy frame and memorize every single inch of it; and NOT with clothing on. He wanted to tear every bit of fabric from her body so that all of her lovely anatomy could be exposed to his hungry eyes. He wanted to take hold of her ample breasts and do whatever he pleased with them. He wondered what sort of bodily and emotional response she would have to his touch. He wanted to rub, stroke, kiss, taste, and toy with every last part of her body until he was certain that there was nothing he didn't know about her. And if it was possible…he wanted to pound her senseless…he wondered how that would feel.
No….he had to stop this. He found himself laughing faintly…he was so close to losing all control. He had to stop this before he hurt Marie. He knew that if he didn't stop, he wouldn't care if Marie was begging him to let her go…he would do ANYTHING to satisfy whatever he was craving.
"Um…Stein.." Marie said weakly.
God…mmm that weak voice; she was feeling vulnerable…how easy it would be to overpower her right now. She was inferior to his strength. He could have it all now; whatever he desired! How could she stop him?
Then he could hear it; Marie stepping closer and closer to him. She was going to lay her hand on him.
"I'm sorry…it was—" Marie began.
Marie….you have no idea what I plan to do with you…NO! I have to get away from her NOW!
"Don't touch me!" Stein shouted abruptly.
Marie gasped with a fearful expression and stepped backwards.
"Don't look at me. Don't talk to me. Don't come anywhere near me. Don't let me anywhere near you!" Stein said, still not looking at her. Having said that, he clenched his eyes shut and dismissed himself hastily; locking himself back into his lab.
Marie was in shock…..she stood there stiffly.
Was I really….that repulsive? Wow, he must think I'm a total idiot right now! He must think I did this on purpose because I'm desperate! Now he thinks I'm a sleaze! Great….
Marie sniffed but fought off her tears and looked about her. "No crying, Marie; don't do too much of it….this house still needs cleaning."
Shaking things off and slapping her cheeks a couple of times, Marie proceeded to work.
After several hours of cleaning; the house was sparkling…well as much as a grey house could sparkle. She sighed and looked back over at the lab doors; Stein hadn't returned.
"I wonder what he's doing in there….I wonder what he's thinking?" she whispered. Sighing, Marie plopped down on the living room couch and fell onto her side. "I'm so stupid….I should have turned Blair down, but instead I got all reckless again…"
Marie was exhausted…so tired physically and emotionally. Without even realizing it, she had fallen asleep…she was gone…so tired. How could she not be? So much had happened in just a short period of time.
While Marie slept quietly, Stein finally emerged from his lab and was taken aback slightly at the sight of everything being spotless; he couldn't remember his house ever looking like this. Then he spotted something even more captivating; Marie. She was still in that outfit…and the way she was curled up was showing part of her lower cheeks and pressing her breasts together….she was asleep….she was vulnerable….completely defenseless.
Stein had a choice to make and it had to be now….he could feel the inner battle waging already…
(A/N: Wow this was fun to write. Lots of mixed emotions here and the odd complexity of there being humor but also a lot of angst. This may sound odd but I really enjoy writing the more dark side of Stein. He's got a lot of dark inner workings that he's always fighting against. Ugh and once again I have to get some inner frustration out by saying how I want Medusa to die a million times over for being a slutty bitch….to hell with Medusa! :D ….oh and thanks for reading! XD )
